Brooke Shields Pt. 1: Love a Gugg Muse, Man

In episode 30 of The Astrology Of... Podcast, we continue our exploration in the cosmic realms of child stars with the introduction of our next subject, the iconic model, actress, author, and entrepreneur Brooke Shields. A household name by the age of 14, Brooke Shields captivated the world with her ungodly beauty, clever wit, and controversial career, which began when she was just 11 months old. We take a tour of Brooke's dynamic life, starting from birth and bringing us all the way to her present.
Trigger warnings for stage moms, codependency, child porn, general toxicity from the patriarchy

• Brooke Shields was born in Manhattan on May 31, 1965, making her a Gemini Sun, Gemini Moon, and Virgo rising! Hello Mercury!
• Brooke was thrust into the lime light at 11 months old, staring in her first Ivy Soap commercial when her mother, Teri Shields, declared when Brooke was 5 days old that "She's gunna be a star!" Yikes...
• Brooke caught her big break in a highly controversial film, Pretty Baby, in which she played a 12 year old prostitute whose mother auctions off her virginity... turns out Brookes entire career didn't stray too far from the basic concepts of the story.
• Brooke ended up being a proper bad ass despite the pressures and stresses of having to grow up completely in the global eye of Hollywood, receiving a degree from Princeton and ultimately successfully returning to Hollywood, but on her terms - as a comedy queen.
• Now, Brooke continues to explore her self and help people share their stories through her platforms, Beginning is Now, and her Podcast, Now What?

As always, remember astrology is a badass and practical tool that can help us understand energetic motivations and potentials, but how you use your energy is always up to you. Astrology doesn’t excuse morally reprehensible acts, but it does help us to understand where energy and potential can take a interesting turn. Use your awareness, invoke your willpower, and make good choices!
