Brooke Thompson is a diligent and hardworking individual, gifted for tasks which require great precision and discipline. She might struggle with pessimism about her own self-worth and try to compensate for this feeling by constantly keeping busy and devoting herself almost entirely to those close to her.

Brooke Thompson has a paternal complex. As a result, she has trouble finding her identity. Her father or a father figure was absent physically or emotionally during her childhood, which deprived her of the patterns or models which are usually helpful in structuring a personality. Because she might have lacked a particular sense of security which could be provided by a paternal presence, as well as the examples of behavior to follow in confronting the difficulties inherent in every life, Brooke was forced to protect herself against negative influences and find her own system in order to grow and feel secure. Although this system was quite useful to her as a child, it has now settled in to such a degree that it interferes with her evolution. Brooke’s psychological defense mechanisms and crutches which were once useful now encumber her mind or inhibit her developmental efforts. As a result, in certain situations, it is difficult for her to assert herself, and she tends to remain an awkward or passive observer. Because her authoritarian urges are mainly directed at herself rather than others, she sometimes feels guilty about her behavior. She judges herself severely, and sometimes punishes herself by setting difficult tasks for herself. Gradually, she should build up a strong inner discipline and acquire the strength to face the problems of existence in a detached and mature way.

Brooke Thompson is fairly strong-willed, and she is mindful of going about her purposes with maximum efficiency. When she relates to other people, she sometimes has trouble expressing her emotions, but she does have a lively sensitivity and is capable of lasting passion. As she grows older, she is quite likely to come into her own and acquire great intellectual and spiritual wisdom. Her honesty, integrity, and sense of duty will win her recognition and appreciation. Passing time will be a very important factor in her destiny, and her greatest accomplishments will guarantee her stability and prosperity. Although she is not especially enterprising, she will move into a high career position as soon as she feels sure of her abilities.

Brooke Thompson tries to justify herself to others and gain their approval by showing that she is worthy of their affection. Nevertheless, her pessimism remains, and the severe taboos she unconsciously places on herself sometimes keep her from developing quickly.

Brooke Thompson has an inalienable awareness of the void and the vanity of existence. She is sometimes disoriented and deconstructed by an unknowable, unconscious force and tends to ignore or disparage the superficial pleasures and pains of daily life, preferring to dive into the depths of human experience as deeply as her intellectual, emotional, and spiritual capacities permit. Grappling with her “fundamental nature,” with the deepest and most primitive part of herself, Brooke Thompson sometimes aghast at the discovery of the sheer power of the life instinct and feels an imperious need to cope with it. This special consciousness she has been endowed with is somewhat beyond the bounds of conventional schools of human understanding and thought and may be a source of identity problems for her at the outset. It is not easy for her to recognize herself in any social or narcissistic models or identify with any existing roles or attitudes, so she sometimes finds herself forced to construct and assert her own identity on a basis which may impress others with its intensity, if not its eccentricity.

Brooke Thompson values freedom and independence above all else. To ensure that her private life expresses these values, Brooke is skittish when it comes to any profound involvement in a relationship. As a consequence, she might intellectualize her emotions and feelings and feel as though she can live more easily on friendship than on love. Extremely socially-minded but idealistic, Brooke almost certainly feels an affinity with the ideals of some social reform movement. Her imagination looks to the future.

Although your demeanor is cool and distant, you are extremely sensitive. In some cases, your rather austere and rigid behavior and your refusal to yield too readily to sentimentality discourage others from being too demonstrative of their tenderness and affection. You have spells of melancholy in which you do not feel worthy of being loved, and tend to forbid yourself any emotional fulfillment whatsoever. An austere or somewhat traumatic childhood experience may be the source of this behavior. It is difficult for your inner self to be detached from this past life, and you sometimes have trouble reconciling the image you have of yourself as an adult with the one you acquired back then. The idea you have of yourself as an individual is related to the image your parents projected onto you as a child. Nevertheless, the past is history, and you are now an adult. Through self-work, you can rid yourself of these phantoms. You have the ability to overcome your mistakes, as well as great endurance and will power to achieve your goals. Nevertheless, you must not repress your sensitivity in order to succeed.

Brooke Thompson hides a fear of emotional commitment. The truth is, she prefers to observe life from afar rather than come down and dirty her hands in it. However, this distant attitude will not necessarily enable her to know and love herself better.

Brooke Thompson is emotionally reactive and tends to act impulsively and excessively when her sensitivity is touched. Although she values her independence, freedom, and self-sufficiency, she sometimes frustrations by her need to rely on her family or friends. Moreover, she does not always grant the freedom of other people the same respect as her own. Likewise, she is sometimes angered by expressions of maternal tenderness, as if she feared that it would doom her to eternal dependency. Her ambivalent behavior, full of jagged edges, may be traced back to her relationship with her mother or a mother figure. Although she was dependent on them, they may have rejected her. Now this attitude is extended to any situation in which her sensitivity comes into play and emotional bonds are liable to form. To ward off her feelings of dependency, she sometimes tends to become destructive. Based on denial, her reactions might be fierce, impulsive, excessive, erratic, or contradictory.

Brooke Thompson likes to keep her emotions private, preferring to let her actions speak louder than her words. She is drawn to intense physical intimacy, and her relationships are usually driven by her desires. She enjoys understanding the hidden side of people, their secret or unconfessed motivations. If she could find a career that placed her in contact with troubled people, she would be ecstatic.

Brooke Thompson is sensitive and compassionate. She readily sacrifices her own interests for the benefit of others. She is romantic and idealistic, but sometimes lacks discernment in the choice of her partners. She is fairly confused and evasive, and has trouble expressing her feelings clearly. Nevertheless, she is capable of devoting herself entirely to the person she loves. Brooke Thompson has a tendency to daydream and become lost in herself.

Brooke Thompson’s birth chart indicates an emotional function which is usually expressed carefully and reasonably. Distrustful of her emotional urges and somewhat wary of her feelings, she tries to rid herself of all partiality and try to get some perspective and distance before making an emotional commitment.

Brooke Thompson is fairly independent, and has trouble finding emotional fulfillment. Her youthful idealism subsided into disillusionment which has taught her to shield her sensitivity by being critical or ironic. Because she fears being overwhelmed by her feelings and does not readily yield to love, she prefers friendship. Brooke Thompson’s ideal partner would be original, tender, and reassuring, apt to instill cheerfulness in their relationship, and bright enough to stimulate her intellectually. If Brooke Thompson were to marry too young or too soon, she might find herself trapped in a stultifying situation.

Brooke Thompson had always been curious about the emotions of others. She found herself fascinated by the way they could seemingly be so contradictory, sometimes seeming so passionate and sensual, while at other times seeming so cold and calculating.

Brooke Thompson is characterized by strong sensual and affectionate urges which drive her to seek pleasure. Her need for romantic fulfillment may compel her to marry, because she also seeks the legal and social legitimacy the institution of marriage confers on an emotional bond. Indeed, the household is liable to be prosperous and even opulent, as if this offered further evidence that she had indeed achieved success. However, privately, she might be less committed to certain obligations and duties. At worst, she might deny the commitments that her optimism and expansiveness made her rush into too soon. If this were to be the case, the outward image of the couple’s success (wealth and comfort, etc.) would only be a façade which compensated for its emotional impoverishment and failure. Sooner or later, this hypocrisy might provoke a full-blown conflict. A second possibility is that a psychic incompatibility may gradually take root, pitting her romantic nature against the prerogatives of her career.

Brooke Thompson considers the input from her subjective and emotional perspective as static, trying to tune it out in order to go straight to the essence of knowledge. As a result, regardless of her field of study, she tries to obtain perspective. She will elaborate a thought on the basis of fairly cold, abstract logic, supported by sober, concise, and immaculate reasoning. Her choice areas of study could be mathematics, philosophy, legislation, or political science. Ideologies, theories, and any other system of reasoning could serve as “food for thought” for her.

Brooke Thompson expresses her thoughts and ideas in direct, spontaneous outbursts. She is fairly extroverted and eager to discover and understand the outer world. An idealist, she looks forward to a bright future but is sometimes subjective and reckless.

Brooke Thompson has a very structured mind and intelligence. However, her thought processes tend to be somewhat plodding because of a failure or humiliation from her formative years. She is fairly inhibited and pessimistic and tends to doubt in herself and her intellectual skills despite her undeniable gifts as a thinker. She should become aware that her thought patterns and habits are the sign that she is on the brink of a really big breakthrough. This breakthrough will give her an understanding of the complexity of things and phenomena. However, it will take time and effort. Her mind is deep and accurate and is attracted by the essence of things and their fundamental structure. As a result, she is particularly suited to the study of mathematics, architecture, engineering, or perhaps even politics. Her contribution to society will probably be most lasting and effective in the field of knowledge and expertise. However, she will have to learn to work alone, because she tends to be uncomfortable in some surroundings. She will also have to learn to conquer her impatience, because she tends to waste time agonizing over deadlines and schedules. Furthermore, a lack of self-confidence could cause her to be fairly conventional and respectful of time-honored ways. Instead, she should find the courage to question her convictions.
