Katie Holmes may have the friendly demeanor of her Sagittarius Sun sign, but below the surface is a woman with a strong will and a mind of her own. Her independence may not be obvious yet, but it's bound to make an appearance some day.

Katie Holmes may have the friendly demeanor of her Sagittarius Sun sign, but below the surface is a woman with a strong will and a mind of her own. Her independence may not be obvious yet, but it's bound to make an appearance some day.
Katie Holmes, the youngest of five children, was born December 18, 1978 at 9:32 pm in Toledo, Ohio. An outgoing Sagittarius, she began modeling as a teenager in New York before moving to Los Angeles at seventeen to break into movies. It didnt take her long to get her first part in Ang Lee's 'The Ice Storm,' which led her to her role as Joey Potter in 'Dawsons Creek.' Her career has been on an upward climb ever since, culminating with the real-life role as co-star to Tom Cruise and mother of their daughter Suri. Sagittarians like to travel, but this one has come especially far, making the long journey from Toledo to tabloid queen in short order. It wasn't just the luck of her fortunate Sagittarius Sun that has fueled her course, though. Katie is a strong-willed individual with a commitment to excellence that sets her apart from the pack. Her Mars -- the planet of action -- is in disciplined and ambitious Capricorn, which keeps her climbing higher and demanding more and more of herself. An actress who looks like she's trying too hard can lack the magic of a real star, but there are no worries about Katie here.
Leo represents confidence and Katie has a ton of it. She was born with the Moon -- planet of feelings -- in this dramatic mid-summer sign. Most people with this aspect in their chart -- like Tom Cruise -- have an innate sense of self-importance that makes them comfortable in the spotlight. While some individuals with the Moon in Leo appear to take themselves too seriously and come across as arrogant, Katie's Leo Moon is softened by a sweet trine -- a 120-degree angle -- from compassionate Neptune. This makes her seem slightly vulnerable and accessible, avoiding the standoffish aristocratic air of some Leo Moons. Katie's Ascendant -- also called the Rising Sign -- is also in Leo, giving her a double dose of personal power and charisma.
There is, however, a twist to her astrological story that has yet to make the news, but which may spark headlines in the future. Rebellious forces are buried deep at the bottom of Katie's chart. Venus -- the planet of love -- is in sexy and sometimes subversive Scorpio and is conjunct -- or next to -- Uranus, the planet of rebellion. This is reflected in the rejection of her family's traditional religious values for Tom's beloved Scientology. While apparently close with her parents and siblings, Uranus in the 4th House of Home and Family often indicates the need to break away from ancestral patterns and strike out in a new and unusual direction. Its also hard to imagine a free-spirited Sagittarius with Leo fire forever playing the dutiful wife of a world-famous husband. Serene on the surface, Katie is here to shock those who know her best, and may push away the paternal hand of Papa Cruise one day. Katie is no man's plaything -- she's a strong woman in her own right, sure to assert her individuality when the time is right.
