Brooke Shields has four planets in Gemini, the sign of diversity, curiosity and communication. In her long and varied career, she has been an actress, model and author who undoubtedly will continue to explore the multiple pathways of experience her ever-changing sign loves so much.
Brooke Shields is a super Gemini. Born May 31, 1965 at 1:45 p.m. in New York City, she has the Sun, Moon, Jupiter and Venus in the multi-talented sign of the twins. She gained fame as a child model and film actress, had her own television show, and has written a book about her experience with post-partum depression. She lived up to the reputation of her intellectual sign by graduating Princeton University, one of the most prestigious schools in the world. She once said, "Princeton gave me something that can never be taken away from me. It taught me how to think." Brooke was born with Jupiter, the planet of good fortune and opportunity, right next to her Gemini Sun, which got her career off to an early start. She was appearing on album and book covers by the time she was 11 and starred in the movie 'Pretty Baby' when she was 12. The still gorgeous Brooke was gifted with an exceptional Venus, the planet of beauty, in close conjunction to the Moon in her chart. Between 1980 and 1985 she appeared on 300 magazine covers, making hers one of the most famous faces in the world. Her modeling success, however, did nothing for her reputation as an actress. She won the first Razzie as the "Worst Actress in the World" for 'Blue Lagoon' in 1980, and has never been taken seriously by film critics.
Gemini is a double-sided sign that is often known for its contrasts. This was evident early in Brooke's career as a fresh-faced young girl who was associated with sexuality. She played a child prostitute in 'Pretty Baby' and first gained fame modeling Calvin Klein jeans with the tagline, "Want to know what gets between me and my Calvins? Nothing." This shocking contrast between innocence and eroticism shows up with a conjunction of revolutionary Uranus and potent Pluto in tense 90-degree angle squares to her Sun. This is the pattern of someone who is going to change the rules of the culture. But Brooke was able to do this while still maintaining her pre-pubescent naiveté. While promoting 'Pretty Baby,' Brooke was asked, "What does good in bed mean?" She replied, "When I'm sick and stay home from school watching TV and my mom brings me soup -- that's good in bed." Brooke's mom Teri was known as a fiercely ambitious stage mother who faded into the background when her daughter became an adult. But this pushy parent is evident in Brooke's chart by a tough square between aggressive Mars and the Moon, the astrological symbol of mother. But this also shows Brooke's own drive that keeps her pushing herself today. Accomplished, yet never satisfied, she will always be the curious Gemini seeking new outlets of expression.
