Jessica Alba embodies Love, Glory, and Beauty by herself. Therefore, it is not surprising that her Ascendant is found at the end of Leo. All her sophisticated appearances show that the young lady pays high attention to her ego. She makes it a point to be radiant and lovely, with a gorgeous figure many women envy her, because she recovered it quickly after her two pregnancies.
Although she comes across as self-assured, Jessica Alba is not intimidating. Curiously, she still is like the girl next door despite being a celebrity. It is because she is the archetype of Taurus! Indeed, it seldom happens that the influence of a sign amounts nearly to 50% (according to Astrotheme dominants computing software) of that of all the planets: astrological charts often give more composite personalities, whether they are famous or not.
What should be deduced from the above? Let us look at the stellium of fast planets, all conjunct in Taurus. In astrological order, we first find Mars at the beginning of the sign, then the Sun, tightly conjunct Mercury, and lastly, Venus. The pure characteristics of the second sign stamp their mark on Alba's capacity to take action, on her mental structures, and on the way she functions in love. Even though she was very young when she stepped on a film set, she imposed herself with poise, without making waves or causing scandals. On the heaps of photos we see of her in the company of her children, on a beach or on a red carpet, Jessica Alba is always fresh, smiling, and full of joie de vivre. Although she has earned an international fame with roles based on her attractive look – we are thinking of the series Dark Angel or of the film Sin City – she does not behave like a capricious diva.
However, she is also an incredibly shrewd businesswoman. Taurus and Leo may be very different, but they have in common the interest in, as well as the talent for, achieving material success. To create profitable business, Jessica Alba relied on her experiences more that on intellectual or unforgettable roles. She readily explains that it was when she was pregnant that she had the idea to launch a company specialised in ecological baby goods, called The honest company. A name which matches her identity and above all the Taurus aspects of her personality, doesn't it? She followed the spirit of the times, and she managed to exploit her image as a celebrity to convince many clients – especially females, or other stars also – to become addicted customers.
Even the premises of the company look like her: located in Santa Monica, the seaside area of Los Angeles that boho and hipsters love, the offices reflect the aestheticism of a Venusian person. Natural materials, the preference for wood and green are also very Taurus. Furthermore, the address is glamorous enough for the Leo Ascendant.
We are elaborating on this because, with The honest company, Jessica Alba was acclaimed by the magazine Forbes, which estimates the value of her enterprise at around $ 1 billion. She knows how to run the show! The former adolescent full of complexes and very often ill when she was a young child has done extremely well. It is probably that the Jupiter-Saturn pair, also conjunct in the 2nd House, has worked very well in favour of Alba's finances. Moreover, a Grand Trine linking Mars, the Ascendant, and Neptune, enabled her to make her dreams come true even though, technically speaking, two thirds of this Grand Trine is in the Fire element, and one third (with Mars) is in Earth.
Let us mention two angular planets, the Moon in Aquarius and Uranus in Scorpio. They both interact with one another in the sense that the Moon is ruled by Uranus, bearing in mind that, in addition, she squares this planet. It is certainly a tough aspect to embrace, given the dominants. It brings nuances to the portrait we just gave and indicates possible instability or some sort of eccentricity. With her strong typical Taurus Sun, Alba must make every effort to limit these tendencies, which are disturbing for herself first and foremost. And therefore, find a way so that nobody notices them! On the positive side, this aspect may enable her to amaze her audience, for instance by showing a different image. It would be interesting to discover her in an unusual or trashy role.
It is most likely that she currently feels the presence of transiting Saturn conjunct her Uranus, not an easy one, but which suggests that she is doing her best to control her craving for change.

The situation will become easier to deal with as soon as Jupiter reaches her Ascendant, in August 2015. One will need to reckon with Jessica Alba in the forthcoming years, when Earth signs will be emphasised.
Throughout the decade starting in 2020, big changes may challenge her when Uranus enters Taurus, influencing her Mars, then her Sun conjunct Mercury, and lastly, Venus. A period of personal assessment is in store for her in 2021, because simultaneously to Uranus moving into Taurus, Jupiter and Saturn will be in the first degrees of Aquarius and will form tense aspects impacting her natal planets. At that time, we may have to mention again unexpected events, the nature of which is impossible to foresee.
