Cristiano Ronaldo and the stages of his career
First stop Lisbon
Cristiano Ronaldo was born on the island of Madeira and moved to the mainland at the age of 12 to join Sporting Lisbon. His ascendant (= beginning of life) is in the zodiac sign Capricorn, over which Saturn rules. This Saturn, as lord of the AC, forms a conjunction with Lisbon = For the beginning of the great career he went to Lisbon.
Radix Cristiano Ronaldo
The first time Manchester United
In 2003 he moved to Manchester United, where he became a world star, which can be seen in the conjunction of the royal fixed star Regulus (29° Leo) with Mancunia, the asteroid that represents the people of Manchester. But Mancunia also forms a square to Saturn, which is why he was to have unhappy experiences several years later when he returned to Manchester. The astrological explanation follows below.
The highlight in Madrid
The highlight of his career was his time at Real Madrid, where he moved in 2009. Here he became the legend he is today. Astrologically, we see this in Madrid’s conjunction with Altair (1° Aquarius), another royal fixed star, as well as Jupiter, which additionally exalts Madrid. In the end, he is said to have felt that he was no longer indispensable to the club and President Perez (square Pluto).

Switch to Juventus Turin
In a Champions League match between Real Madrid and Juventus Turin, there was a great sporting gesture. After Ronaldo scored a magnificent goal with a bicycle kick to make it 3:0, the Turin stadium applauded him. We see this noble gesture in the conjunction of Torino and noble Spica (23° Libra), also a royal fixed star.
Ronaldo moved to Juventus a little later and also had a very successful time there personally, even if he could not achieve the great success with Juventus as he did with Real Madrid. Torino is also square to Jupiter and not in conjunction, like Madrid.
The second time Manchester United
In 2021, Ronaldo returned to Manchester United. This time, however, his time in Manchester should be marked by Saturn, which forms the square to Mancunia in the radix. Even if Ronaldo as the third best scorer of the league could personally achieve success again, the team performances (11th house) were disappointing (Saturn), as well as the coach (Chiron) trusted him less and less with time (Mancunia square Chiron). Now you might ask why the first time in Manchester was so much more successful for Ronaldo, since he has the same radix? For the answer, we need to look into the secondary progression.
When Ronaldo first moved to Manchester, progressive Mancunia was in exact conjunction to Regulus, allowing good to prevail.

In 2021 Mancunia had already departed from Regulus and the progressive MC in conjunction with the progressive Saturn formed the square to the progressive Mancunia, which meant that Manchester and Ronaldo’s superior (MC) now gave him the cold shoulder (Saturn).

The Arabian lure
Thus, at the beginning of 2023, Ronaldo moved to Saudi Arabia to al-Nassr. With Arabia/Kaiser square to the Sun in the second house of money, the Saudis made him the highest-earning footballer of all time, donating an annual salary of 200 million euros. However, the media doubts that he and his family are happy there, which would find its confirmation astrologically with Arabia square to the Sun and Moon. According to media reports, the Arabs were already incensed by the family’s Western lifestyle and especially the revealing photos of Ronaldo’s wife Georgina.
The great rival Lionel Messi
Two small details in the radix should be mentioned. The Descendant and the Seventh House represent our competitors. In Cristiano Ronaldo’s case, we can clearly see that with Argentina/Barcelona on the descendant, his greatest rival is Argentina’s Lionel Messi, who enjoyed his most successful years at FC Barcelona. The rivalry is underlined with the square to Mars. If that were not ingenious enough, Lionel Messi’s Sun is also exactly at 2° Cancer, i.e. exactly where Ronaldo’s Argentina/Barcelona is.

The Portuguese legend
With Portugal conjunct Sirius (14° Cancer), another king of fixed stars, Cristiano Ronaldo is already one of the greats of Portuguese history. That includes leading his country to its biggest-ever title at the 2016 European Championship.
