Kate Hudson's Tarot Reading

Sun in Aries:

Kate Garry Hudson thrives on challenge, depending on no one and nothing but her own strength, intelligence and courage -- a combination that propelled the young actress from ingenue to A-Lister in a few short years.

Kate was brought up by her mom, Goldie Hawn and Goldie's partner, Kurt Russell, who has been a big part of Kate's life since she was a toddler. Her birth father is musician Bill Hudson. She has one brother, Oliver Hudson, as well as a half-sister, Emily Hudson, a half-brother, Zachary Hudson and a step-brother, Wyatt Russell.

In 1997 Kate graduated from Crossroads in Santa Monica, a 'private school for arts and sciences' whose goal, according to their website, is to provide a 'college preparatory education combining academic excellence with a comprehensive fine and performing arts program, community service, athletic challenge, and environmental education.' After high school Kate decided that instead of going to New York University, where she had been accepted, she wanted to take a shot at acting. In her first film role she played Skye Davidson in the 1998 comedy Desert Blue and was nominated for an Oscar for her role as Penny Lane in Almost Famous. In 2003, she played the lead role in How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days and again in 2005 in The Skeleton Key.

In 2003 Kate, Goldie, Kurt and Oliver started Cosmic Entertainment -- the family production company.

A proper Aries, Hudson believes in being totally honest, true to herself and to her own convictions, even if that means standing alone. Integrity, personal honor and authenticity are her goals, and she has no sympathy for weakness of character in others. She craves the freedom to do things her own way, and works very well independently.

Kate loves action and if others are settling down into a nice, comfortable little rut, she is always ready to stir things up. Routine and sameness are anathema to her. She is not afraid to try something that's never been done. Taking risks and following her own star are the breath of life to Kate Hudson.

Seeing herself as a very strong person, she hates being dependent in any way. Accepting her own human limitations and emotional needs is often difficult for her. She can be impatient to get on with things and would gain much by learning to slow down, relax and just let things be -- if only that restless Aries nature would allow it. It helps that she practices yoga.

With Mercury in Aries, Hudson is doubly direct, always eager to express her fresh, original ideas and opinions. She doesn't mind stirring up a little controversy. Kate speaks decisively and convincingly about things she believes in and is unable to pretend to agree with someone if she honestly doesn't.

Mercury Conjunct Venus means that Kate appreciates aesthetics. With a fine sense of form, design and beauty she could develop considerable technical skill as an artist, designer or creative writer. She would do very well selling objects of beauty, such as artistic products, cosmetics or jewelry. Obviously tuned into the dictates of the stars, Kate in fact does make her own jewelry. Quoted in a feature story on style.com, Kate says, 'I go to gem shows. I have my retail card. Look at this sapphire -- 22 carats. Isn't it cute? And these Colombian emeralds. I'm restringing them. I go into stores, look at necklaces and earrings, then try to emulate the ones I like. Jewelry's the most overmarked, overpriced industry. God! It's so expensive!'

About her personal style Kate says, 'I'm a hippie at heart. I wear the clothes, and they're the best. And the music is incredible, too.'

Hudson has the ability to please and harmonize well with others. Her sense of humor, tact and personal charm make her great at mediating relationships.

With Mercury Conjunct Venus/Mars, Kate's thinking is very much influenced by the way she feels about love. She tends to speak freely about love and sexual matters. She is very articulate, excels at word-play and could do very well as a writer.

Venus in Pisces means that Kate is tremendously softhearted and sympathetic, giving devotedly to those she loves, sometimes allowing them to become overly dependent upon her. She is drawn to sensitive, gentle souls -- poets, musicians, dreamers -- or to someone she can have a deep spiritual relationship with. She idealizes love and has a romantic vision of what it can be.

Kate is married to Chris Robinson, lead singer of The Black Crowes. Their son, Ryder Russell Robinson was born on January 7, 2004. His middle name is a salute to Kurt Russell, the man Kate thinks of as her father.

Mars in Aries indicates a warrior's attitude: decisive, courageous and bold. As such, Kate tends to always want to do something, even when simply letting things resolve themselves would sometimes be more effective. She cannot tolerate being passive or even patient about getting what she wants and feels that it is up to her to take the initiative. She goes after her goals very aggressively. Exceedingly self-reliant, she may bristle when other people offer advice or direction. She is highly competitive and enjoys a good fight. Abounding in energy and enthusiasm at the start of a new venture, she will need an encouraging, positive response to sustain interest.

Jupiter in Cancer gives Hudson the ability to make others feel accepted and included, breaking down feelings of alienation. She has a loving, protective side that wants to take care of everyone. Creating a nurturing environment for herself and others is one of her strengths. About her young co-stars in the 2002 film Signs, Kate says, 'It was great. They were so professional and yet, still kids. Abigail Breslin, who played Bo was so adorable and so good. She cried at the drop of a hat. She was so focused. When she had to do what she had to do, she really worked hard at it. And Spencer Breslin was hysterical. And Hayden Panettiere is at that age that I remember so well: thirteen-ish where you want to be an adult and want to be taken seriously, but people don't treat you like it, so you overcompensate.'
