DATE OF BIRTH - 18/02/1898

TIME OF BIRTH - 3:00 AM

PLACE OF BIRTH - MODENA, ITALY

Enzo Ferrari's horoscope is as remarkable as his car brand. A striking feature of his chart is the placement of six planets within signs ruled by Saturn, which itself is positioned in Scorpio in the Jyeshta Nakshatra. This configuration, along with Saturn's position in Capricorn in the Navamsha chart, created a powerful Raj Yoga that contributed to his tremendous success in every endeavor.

The ascendant lord, Mars, is exalted and in a Parivartana Yoga (exchange) with Saturn, the lord of the 3rd and 4th houses. This powerful exchange of the Ascendant Lord with the 3rd and 4th lords signifies immense courage and material success. Furthermore, the lords of the Kendra houses placed in other Kendra houses gave him immense public success and acceptance. The 4th lord, Saturn, sits in the Ascendant, and the 10th lord, Sun, conjoins the 7th lord, Venus, in the 4th house, a combination that clearly shows his deep love for vehicles.

The conjunction of the 6th lord, the exalted Mars (representing sports and an impulsive nature), with Rahu and the Moon, created an obsession with speed. Mercury, positioned with them, provided the business acumen needed to turn this passion into a successful venture. The engineering ability came from Venus in Shatabhisha Nakshatra and the dynamic relationship of Mars with Rahu in a sign ruled by Saturn, with the Sun adding brilliance to his technical knowledge.

Success came due to his Ascendant Lord being with the 11th Lord, Mercury, and receiving the intense aspect of a strong, retrograde Jupiter in the 11th house. Jupiter, as the lord of the 2nd and 5th houses, created a powerful Dhan Yoga (wealth combination) in his chart.

Astrological Timing and Key Milestones

• November 16, 1929: When Enzo founded his racing team, Scuderia Ferrari, using Alfa Romeo cars, he was under the Rahu Mahadasha and Venus Antardasha. This period is a clear explanation for his initial success. Rahu, positioned in the Uttarashadha Nakshatra of the Sun and conjoined with the Yogakaraka, exalted Mars (Ascendant Lord), the Moon (9th Lord), and Mercury (11th Lord), brought tremendous success to his racing career.

• May 11, 1947: When he built the 125 S, the first Ferrari car for the public, he was running the period of Jupiter Mahadasha and Moon Antardasha. Jupiter, as the lord of the 2nd and 5th houses, was sitting in the 11th house. The Moon, as the 9th lord in the 3rd house, was aspected by Jupiter. This activation of the Trine houses gave his company huge public success.

A strong Rahu or Ketu in the 9th house indicates that auspicious deeds from past karma can bring extremely good results in the present. In Enzo’s chart, Ketu sits in Cancer in the auspicious Pushya Nakshatra of Saturn and is aspected by benefics like the Moon and Mercury. This astrological placement granted him success far beyond what he could have asked for.

Today, the Ferrari brand in Italy is celebrated much like a religion and has become one of the most successful car brands to ever dominate the automobile industry.
