Jessica Alba

Birth Details:
April 28, 1981
Pomona, California, USA

With her Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars all in Taurus, this young actress is a one-woman stampede.

'Living in L.A., everyone likes to mold you and change you. I don't care about fame, I don't care about being a celebrity. I know that's part of the job, but I don't feed into anyone's idea of who I should be.'

Jessica Alba's Tarot Reading

In 1994 Jessica appeared in her first film, Camp Nowhere, and then found steady work in Nickelodeon's The Secret World of Alex Mack. 1995 brought Flipper and a role that carried her through to 1997. The following year she began filming P.U.N.K.S. with Randy Quaid, played Melissa in Brooklyn South, and appeared on Beverly Hills 90210 and The Love Boat: The Next Wave. Three more films, Never Been Kissed and Idle Hands, both released in 1999, and Paranoid in 2000, brought her to her starring role in the TV series, Dark Angel.

Jessica has a very practical nature and wants to see concrete results for her efforts. She is concerned with material achievement and security. 'I wasn't given a whole lot in my life,' says Alba. 'But I got wisdom. I never just did what people told me. I questioned everything. When I look back, it is really no surprise that I started working at twelve.'

Jessica has a great love for the world around her and wants to enjoy it in full. She will work tirelessly, but she also has a strong comfort-loving side and wants to take pleasure in the things she has worked for. She loves the beauty of the natural world and might prefer a quiet rustic setting to life in the big city.

At heart her needs are uncomplicated. She has a strong desire for stability and tranquility. While she is not very demanding emotionally, she does crave physical closeness and affection. Because of her emotional stability, others often depend upon her for support. Although she dislikes upheaval and sudden changes, she usually maintains her equilibrium. She also has an innate sense of harmonizing with nature, allowing things to grow and unfold in their own time. She is graced with the patience to nurture something into being -- be it a garden, a child, or a creative project.

Sun Conjunct Venus means that Jessica tends to see things from her own perspective and enjoys expressing her views. With a clear mind and a love of learning, she needs constant mental stimulation. Sun Conjunct Mars signifies that she is forceful, courageous and energetic. She has a very strong physical drive, which expresses itself as passion, a desire to compete with others, and a tendency to fight. Jessica has a victorious spirit and the will to win. 'The movies that I do are usually physically demanding in one way or another. It's a good way to keep your health on track,' she says. 'Especially when you've been on-set for 14 hours, it's nice to relieve that stress in another way than having to rely on a big meal and wine.'

Mercury in Taurus indicates that her mind operates in a very deliberate and methodical manner. She dislikes being pressured into giving her opinion before she has thoroughly pondered an idea, and once her mind is made up, she can be very difficult to sway. Mercury Conjunct Venus reveals that Jessica appreciates aesthetics and has a fine sense of form and beauty. She could develop considerable technical skill as an artist or writer. She also has the ability to please and harmonize well with others. Her sense of humor and personal charm are great benefits on a one-to-one level.

Venus in Taurus portends that in love, Jessica is steadfast and loyal, especially with a warm and demonstrative person. A delightful partner, she is very attentive to the comfort and enjoyment of the one she loves.

With her Mars in Taurus, once Jessica sets her mind on a goal, her commitment is exceptional. She is a productive worker who is willing to take on more than her share of the workload. Once she gets her momentum going, her energy is strong and steady.

Mars Opposition Saturn/Uranus indicates that Jessica may be able to sustain a great deal of tension over a long period of time, but then suddenly release it by taking unexpected, radical action. She is not above challenging others for a decisive fight!

'Men are much bigger divas than women' says Alba. 'When I used to do the action scenes in Dark Angel, I would have to play it rough. If you hit an actress accidentally, she would usually take it on the chin and say, 'Don't do that again.' But with the guys, they would put ice on it, take a 20-minute break and ask for X-rays. It was unbelievable. I would tell them, 'Come on, man, get over it.' That's actors for you.'

With Jupiter in Libra, Jessica possesses a strong sense of fairness, a willingness to listen to opposing viewpoints, and the ability to come across as impartial and moderate. Jupiter Sextile Uranus tells us that she is always open to new ideas. She is willing to plunge in and experiment with a fresh approach, and is enthusiastic about learning and growing. As a result of this positive attitude, she draws opportunities and unexpected good fortune into her life. She embraces change, delights in discovery, and enjoys sharing her excitement with other people. A sense of happy expectation and a sometimes outrageous sense of humor are two of her great gifts.

Jupiter Conjunct Saturn guarantees that Jessica's aspirations and dreams are always tempered by realism and practical considerations. She pursues her aims in a disciplined manner, willing to advance slowly and steadily towards her inevitable goal. About playing the part of a helpless female, she said, 'I just didn't like the damsel-in-distress thing. I could relate to young girls wanting to see her take care of herself. And because I'm so good at action, I talked the writer and producer and director into throwing together a little fight sequence. It ended up taking three more weeks to shoot it. But at least I'm not tied up and asleep until my knight in shining armor comes and saves me. So I thought it was cool.'
