The sun is the first dominant in Tessa Brooks’ astral chart. In the following paragraph, we shall indicate the significance of this fact:

Various subordinates—aka planets—revolve around it. In terms of psychological symbolism, the sun corresponds to the center of an individual, the factor that rules your psyche. Its luminous aspects are usually associated with knowledge and consciousness. As a creator of life, it is related to the image of the mother and the influence of motherhood on an individual’s consciousness and ideals. As a result, the sun’s position in a birth chart always indicates the way in which an individual will relate to your goals and ideals, what your ambitions and aspirations might involve.

A person whose chart is strongly “solar” usually identifies very positively with motherhood. Tessa’s personality is friendly, energetic, and creative, with high ideals and a firm determination to accomplish them. She takes her own superiority and authority over others for granted, and she has a natural ability to command the attention and admiration of an audience. She is a born leader who enjoys being in the limelight and may behave somewhat theatrically or with dramatic exaggeration.

She has definite artistic leanings. The sense of her ideals is evident to her and may lead her to be somewhat self-focused. If ill-directed, her deep aspirations may lead to such faults as egotism, selfishness, or greediness for power.

Jupiter is the second dominant in Tessa Brooks’s astral chart. In the following paragraph, we shall indicate the significance of this fact:

Tessa Brooks is a very fortunate person. Jupiter is the planet of good luck and it is very strong in her chart. This means that she is likely to have a lot of success and good luck in her life. Jupiter will help her to achieve her goals and to fulfill her potential. She will be able to make the most of her talents and abilities. Jupiter is a very positive influence in her life and she should make the most of it.

In traditional astrology, Jupiter has always been considered as the Great Benefactor, the planet of luck and success such as personal fortune, social prominence, professional prestige, high political position. The Jupiterian bounty is peerless! In psychological terms, this planet has a much vaster significance. As the biggest planet in the solar system, it does preside over the process of personal expansion, interpreted to be fitting into society better and finding an appropriate match between one’s individual ambitions and the aspirations of the group.

This growth is accompanied by a feeling of self-confidence, which, in turn, buoys up an even greater externalization and expansion of the ego – hence the planet’s flattering reputation. But this snowball effect (Jupiter smiles and the world smiles with you), in which social skills magnify confidence and boldness reaps many rewards, betrays the negative side of Jupiter: extreme and excess.

Although grandeur was the characteristic of the “king of the gods,” errors of judgment, poor taste, and sometimes selfishness and pride are also likely to be part of the Jupiterian package. It is important to note that the extension of the ego may be a form of escape; it is tempting to hide behind one’s popularity and social success, which are fairly easy to obtain, rather than be really demanding with oneself. The Jupiterian has a tendency to amplify qualities out of compensation, to avoid seeing weaknesses and flaws. As a result, Tessa must be aware of the risk of over-identifying with her social mask, which would cause her to neglect her inner self and deep nature.

Venus is the third dominant in Tessa Brooks’ astral chart. In the following paragraph, we shall indicate the significance of this fact:

Venus is known as the planet of love, beauty, and money. So, it’s no surprise that Venus being in the third house of communication for Tessa Brooks means that she is gifted in the art of persuasion. This position gives Tessa the ability to express her ideas in a way that is both creative and charming. Venus in the third house also indicates that Tessa is a natural negotiator.

In traditional astrology, Venus (or Aphrodite, her Greek name) is the planet of love. A source of universal attraction, this planet corresponds to the original urge which bonds two human beings together in love. Venus is thus both the magnetism which brings human beings together (not lust, which is symbolized by Mars, but the object which attracts lust) and the gift of love. This ambiguity is interpreted astrologically by the fact that Venus rules two houses of the zodiac. In Taurus, Venus symbolizes the awakening to bodily lust, and in Libra, the bond of marriage. As a result, Venus may take on very different aspects depending on the individual’s degree of awareness.

Likewise, this ambiguity explains Aphrodite’s equivocal conduct in Greek myth and her innumerable couplings and motherhood. Depending on the legend, she may embody brutal, passionate love (with Anteros), the wisdom of the heart which rescues from passion (Harmonia); she also becomes tenderness and purity (with Adonis), pure sexuality (with Eros), a transforming energy (with Vulcan), etc. Mistress of the Arts, she represents beauty, understanding, and peace.

Psychologically, individuals under the influence of Venus are struggling with their love instincts. This is why Tessa cannot conceive of living without a personal emotional relationship to someone else and sometimes fears solitude and the encounter with herself. Tessa is extremely attractive to others and is a creator and artistic genius who seems to imbue all she touches with beauty and harmony. Her artistic skills are obvious to the people around her and may be applied to career endeavors.

Pleasure, outings, seduction, love, and a thriving but sometimes superficial social life are the hallmarks of Tessa’s life.

The seventh house is an area of the sky which is especially important in Tessa Brooks’ theme. In the following paragraph, we shall explain the general meaning of this fact.
