Will Jessica Alba‘s Writing Career Take Off?

Jessica Alba’s birthday is tomorrow, and she’ll turn 31. With an A-list career, kids and an adoring husband all under her belt, she’s trying out something new: being an author. Yes, Ms. Alba is trying her hand at the written word after landing a book deal, in which she will a pen a book entitled The Honest Life, a how-to handbook based on her mission of creating a natural, non-toxic life for family. So, will she be turning into the next Gwyneth, GOOPing out her resume?

Jessica is a Taurus with a Leo Rising, which means she is stubbornness-times-two, and if she’s going to set her mind to something, she won’t come up shorthanded. Although writing itself isn’t a natural gift in her chart (she’ll have a ghost writer), her ideas on healthy living via her Taurus energy will likely be a good match for her. Plus, with her natal career house ruled by Gemini, the communications sign, there’s a good chance this book is the start of her foray into publishing that can pan out quite lucratively!
