Brooke Monk is searching for stability; she wants to find a firm, unchanging structure for her life. But her efforts to achieve this ideal are often vain, because unconsciously, she is also inhabited by the opposite desire. Every time she reaches what she believes to be a good balance, she realizes she wants something entirely different.

Brooke Monk has a paternal complex because he lacked a father figure during his childhood. He was forced to protect himself from negative influences and find his own system in order to grow. This system was quite useful to him as a child, but it has now settled in to such a degree that it interferes with his evolution. Brooke Monk has psychological defense mechanisms and crutches which were once useful now encumber his mind or inhibit his developmental efforts. As a result, in certain situations, it is difficult for him to assert himself, and he tends to remain an awkward or passive observer. Because his authoritarian urges are mainly directed at himself rather than others, Brooke Monk sometimes feels guilty about his behavior. He judges himself severely, and sometimes punishes himself by setting difficult tasks for himself. Gradually, Brooke Monk should build up a strong inner discipline and acquire the strength to face the problems of existence in a detached and mature way.

Brooke Monk has great strength of character. Her courage and endurance enable her to accomplish even extremely arduous tasks. Although she sometimes behaves impulsively, she generally knows how to plan out an effective strategy, and, as a result, she reaches her goals without meeting any major obstacles. Her forcefulness gives her certain leadership skills, which she may implement to creative and constructive ends.

Brooke Monk often feels out of place in society’s rules and conventions. The mask of sociability most people wear is difficult for Brooke to assume, and it is hard for Brooke to act out the roles expected of her as a normal member of the community. The usual social values and rewards, like money, respect, and prestige, only mildly interest her. Her refusal or inability to play the social game may make it hard for her to find a job, which may have negative consequences on her financial and legal status. Reluctant and unwilling to adapt to the demands of social life, Brooke sometimes unwittingly makes mistakes when a new project is in the planning stages. For example, she may leave gaps in a job application, botch up an interview with a prospective employer, or make a big mistake when bidding for a contract. But her financial difficulties may clear up when her emotional ones do.

Brooke Monk is a sensitive person who is easily drawn into the surrounding sensations and impressions. Although this can be a source of inspiration and intuition, it can also be difficult for Brooke to communicate her feelings to other people. This tide of emotion is a source of inspiration and intuition, but due to Brooke’s lack of inner structure and organization, it is difficult for her to grasp the essence of her dreams and share them with other people. Brooke is not at all combative, and this hinders her efforts to fit into society and assert herself productively. Her tendency to prefer fantasy to reality and her refusal to abandon her unattainable dreams is a psychological trap she has fallen into without realizing it. Brooke must understand that by escaping from her obligations and commitments, she only increases the feelings of guilt and incompetence which made reality so distasteful in the first place. Once Brooke free herself from this pernicious process, she has a great deal of potential for fulfilling herself in the outer world, either by devoting herself to the community or by cultivating her considerable artistic talents.

Brooke Monk values freedom and independence above all else. To maintain their privacy, she is reluctant to get too deeply involved in any relationship. Consequently, she might intellectualize her emotions and feelings, and find herself unable to connect emotionally with others. Highly socially-minded and idealistic, she has a strong affinity with the ideals of social reform movements. She is constantly looking toward the future, anticipating possibilities.

Brooke Monk is sensitive and imaginative, but has trouble differentiating between dreams and reality. Her psychic abilities lead her to artistic pursuits, but she’s less confident when it comes to her career prospects. She’s also very romantic and idealistic, which can lead her to be disappointed in people over time.

Brooke Monk decided to experiment with a new style of love. Her idealistic aspirations encouraged her to cast off conventional romantic practices and customs and embark on new adventures.

Brooke Monk’s birth chart indicates an emotional function which is expressed in a direct and fairly impulsive way. She enjoys reaching out to other people and making discoveries. An eternal teenager with her gaze riveted on the future, she is imbued with an eminently subjective and personal idealism.

Brooke Monk has an original personality that inspires her to live on the fringes of convention. She is more baroque than romantic and is torn between her emotional exaltation and a need for independence, between her sudden infatuations and the otherness every relationship implies. Her irrepressible imagination battles reality. If, during her youth, she was unable to understand and learn from her disillusionment, love will remain a dangerous terrain for her, a source of instability and suffering. However, if she has bid her adolescent dreams farewell, in maturity she should be able to invest her imagination and talent in an exceptional bond.

Brooke Monk prizes her freedom. She is subject to fall in love at first sight but will sometimes move on without any warning. She has a special art of communicating her energy and would rather have a good time and take pleasure in life with a freedom-loving companion than engage in an intense, passionate commitment. For her, the ideal match would be a partner who shared her aspirations for liberty.

You are hypersensitive and tend to relive the anxieties, apprehensions, and romantic absolutes of your first love relationships, which occurred around the ages of 13-14 years or 20-21 years. You are exquisitely sensitive, but almost completely barricaded behind a layer of aloofness. You will not settle for anything less than eternal commitment, total harmony, and absolute loyalty. You are sometimes presumed to be cold, even by those close to her. You usually hide your emotional reactions or do not even allow them to reach the level of your consciousness, in an effort to protect your sensitivity, which you see as your weak point. You are fairly vulnerable, even in the intimacy of a stable and established relationship. Usually, you will disguise your strong feelings as a kind of possessiveness or even jealousy. Certain misfortunes may arouse a negative emotional state inside you, and you feel unworthy of the love which is lavished on you. This psychological prohibition which rules over all of your desires and affects should loosen with the passage of time; likewise, your fear of approaching the other will diminish. As a result, the second part of your romantic life will be more rewarding. In any case, if you want to experience a harmonious love relationship and gratify yourself emotionally, the defense mechanisms you have elaborated to make yourself inaccessible to others will have to be dismantled.

Brooke Monk is an ardent and amorous person, and her relationships with the other sex are enlivened by intensity and passion. A charmer perpetually engaged in a quest for the ideal love, she is often more in love with the idea of love than with her partners. As a result, her love life may be subject to some instability. She is generally attracted to original people who defy norms, standards, and classifications, and expect them to amaze and fascinate her. Love is often a matter of luck with her. Even when a relationship falls apart, she does not see the experience as a failure or a tragedy; instead, she seems to learn valuable lessons from her mistakes. Psychologically, her emotion contributes positively and efficiently to her evolution. From another standpoint, her acute sensitivity predisposes her to original and subtle tastes; she is so receptive to beauty and attached to the concepts of truth and balance that they may all combine to yield remarkable creative potential.

Brooke Monk has a romantic imagination, soaring with idealism, dreams, and poetry. She is emotive and hypersensitive, making her especially vulnerable emotionally, since she is sometimes overwhelmed by her feelings and affects. Although she seeks an ideal soulmate, a partner with whom she could maintain blissful, smooth relations, she is sometimes met with disillusionment. Because her rather excessive sensitivity and her need to merge with the other are deep and powerful enough, they can submerge her judgment and discernment, so she sometimes forms extremely intense bonds too quickly with individuals who are not appropriate partners in many ways. When she meets someone, she falls under the enchantment of her dream of ideal love and cannot keep herself from delighting in a reverie of future romance, placing the other on a pedestal. Early on in the relationship, she yields to another of her characteristic urges and loses herself in the individual who is so dear to her, melding with them, only to awaken one morning and find herself as if in the arms of a stranger, greatly astounded and disappointed. Actually, her psyche is constructed in such a way as to make her sensitivity a function of the environment, in many cases; it follows the flow of momentary emotions and impressions. Before she takes on any major commitments, she should make a conscious effort to evaluate the relationship realistically, and see whether the person really reciprocates her intense love, for she may merely be in love with the mirage of an ideal partner. Her tendency to believe in her illusions may mark her as an easy prey for people with bad intentions. It would be a good idea for her to find a different object for her affections, or a form of sublimation, because she tends to be so disappointed by her great emotional investments. The delicacy and subtlety of her imagination procure artistic refinement for her, and she loves the arts, music, and literature, which could all be good sources of emotional involvement and fulfillment. Because her sensitivity also makes it easy for her to empathize with the psychological or social difficulties her peers are struggling with, she might also find it rewarding to commit herself to social work.

Brooke Monk sometimes considers the input from her subjective and emotional state as static which she tries to tune out 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.
