Analysis of Katie Holmes' astrological chart

Daily news regularly puts the spotlight on all sorts of famous people. Although we are not fond of juicy information, we inevitably have an idea about a given political figure, a movie star, a Royal Highness, or a skilled sportsman.

Those well-known faces draw our interest and seem familiar to us, because we watch their successes or their setbacks day by day.

Astrology may also be considered as an interesting filter to better define their personality, and to guess whether the events they experience are confirmed by their planets' activities. Astrology does not reveal everything, of course, but using the dominants and other peculiarities of the natal chart, we can see whether the astrological portrait matches the collective image or offers unsuspected additional nuances.

After Jean Dujardin and Arnold Schwarzenegger, here is an article about the discreet Katie Holmes.

Focus Astro celebrity: Katie Holmes

Who would have believed it? The discreet Katie Holmes, who remains in the shadow of Tom Cruise, is aflame with passion!

Since she is influenced equally by her Sagittarius Sun sign, and by her Leo Ascendant, we can say at once that the actress is a woman of character. The observer may certainly expect a greater presence in a young lady who has the Moon, planet of femininity, conjunct her Ascendant, and Jupiter in the 5th sign.

What are the reasons why her ego is not hypertrophied then? Perhaps because, except the Moon and Jupiter, no additional planet is located above the horizon of the chart. The position of these two planets in the 12th House does not indicate extroversion, on the contrary! All the clues of the chart lead to the same conclusion: she attaches much greater importance to her private sphere than to her success on the public stage.

However, she has always had artistic desires. The Sun, ruling her Ascendant, is in the 5th House, conjunct Neptune, who is in the 4th House, which points to her wish to create, and her taste for sublimation.

This conjunction also underlines that Katie Holmes, born in a large family, well-off, and typically American from Ohio, was a dreamer... and that she is still. But since her energy, as well as her need to enlarge her horizon and to gain wider perspectives, must be expressed somehow, she confided that, when she was small, she had ants in the pants. To calm her down, her mother had the good idea to enrol her on a tap-dancing course. Then, adolescent, she tried modelling, that she gave up quite quickly, for she could not push her way to television. Nevertheless, she obtained a part in Dawson's Creek, and started her rise to fame.

Endowed with intuition like all the people born with the Sun in a Fire sign, she managed to step in the world of cinema with a first important role in Batman begins. Even though she was not recruited again for the continuation of this opus, a major Hollywood personality noticed her: Tom Cruise.

He had recently divorced Nicole Kidman, with whom he formed a glamorous couple. He is supposed to have chosen Katie Holmes on a photo, according to evil tongues... It is not up to us to elaborate on this topic; in any case, their relationship does correspond to an unusual marriage, just like Holmes' Venus, ruler of the Midheaven, and conjunct Uranus in Scorpio. This configuration explains why she preferred an uncommon love affair related to her career, but meant to be developed in relative secrecy and off-camera. Besides, it is possible that Katie Holmes never felt comfortable with the image the media projected: that of "the wife of", a beautiful figurehead criticised by fashion magazines. Tom Cruise's infatuation for the Church of Scientology may also coincide with this planetary alignment, bearing in mind that, Uranus being involved, there was little chance that this marriage lasted forever.

As for assets, natal Mars in Capricorn suggests nice energy and plain determination: she was the one who filed for divorce on the grounds of incompatibility. Since their split, relationships between the former spouses are absolutely icy (Mars, her concept of males, in Capricorn). As far as she is concerned, Katie Holmes continues on her path, with a few cinema projects and the role of the caring mother of her little Suri.

After having been through a rough patch with her divorce in 2012, the actress got back on her feet little by little. Saturn transiting her major Venus-Uranus conjunction weighed on her in 2013; this slow-moving planet left progressively as it retrograded.

Biography of Katie Holmes (excerpt)
Kate Noelle Holmes (born December 18, 1978) is an American actress. She first achieved fame as Joey Potter on the television series Dawson's Creek (1998–2003). Holmes made her film debut with a supporting role in Ang Lee's The Ice Storm (1997). A mixture of parts in big-budget and small-scale film projects came next, including Disturbing Behavior (1998), Go, Teaching Mrs. Tingle (both 1999),...

Since the summer of 2014, fortunately, Jupiter transiting Holmes' planets in Leo, and soon her Ascendant, is most likely to increase her self-assurance. Neptune, the planet of uncertainty in terms of love, in the broad sense of the word, or sometimes of spiritual or artistic development, illustrates her often vague confidences about her relationships. She is believed to have a love affair with Jamie Foxx, which she does not confirm but allows dubiety to persist. Looking at the transits of the forthcoming years, there is every chance that she keeps on giving the priority to her affective ties instead of her renown.
