Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise's Tarot Reading

Romantic Compatibility for Sagittarius Katie Holmes and Cancer Tom Cruise:

Because Mercury mutually aspects Pluto in their charts, there is a deep, probing quality to their relationship. If it is a long-lasting one, they are likely to embark on some kind of investigative research in a scientific, historical or psychological field. With Katie's Mercury square Tom's Pluto, even their conversations have a deep and probing quality. Each has a strong tendency to attempt to coerce the other to understand their point of view and agree with them. Tom may attempt to dominate Katie's thinking, or radically alter her view of things. He may have his work cut out for him, however, as Katie is highly intelligent and also very strong-willed. His Mercury trine her Pluto indicates that they understand each other at a profound level, and may find themselves revealing things they've never told anyone else. Tom's Mercury opposite Katie's Neptune means that they are likely to become engaged in conversations about the arts, psychology and religion. Because Jupiter mutually aspects Saturn, one of the most important themes in their relationship involves finding a balance between two basic needs: security, stability and order versus freedom, exploration and growth. With Katie's Jupiter opposing Tom's Saturn and Tom's Jupiter opposing Katie's Saturn, this relationship can be restrictive and frustrating for Katie, as she may feel that Tom opposes her aspirations or limits her opportunities and freedom. He may feel a need to control or discipline her, either overtly or in subtle ways, because she stirs up his insecurities and fears. Tom can become free of some of these inhibitions through this relationship. Patience and understanding on Katie's part, and a willingness to be flexible on Tom's, will enable the two of them to be ever more harmonious together.

Katie's Sun trine Tom's Uranus shows that playfulness and a zest for newness infuse their relationship. They spark each other's imagination and creativity. This quality is especially beneficial in a long-term relationship, as they will not fall into a lifeless routine. They spur each other to explore, take risks and develop creative outlets, and they encourage each other's independence. There is an electric, spontaneous quality between them, and their sexual relationship is lively and exciting as well. Tom's Venus square Katie's Uranus adds an erratic but exciting quality to the mix. Sexual attraction becomes very intense at times, but the quality and nature of the relationship changes frequently. It will be a difficult one to maintain over a long period of time but it would also be difficult to break such an exciting bond. A permanent, close relationship will require them both to be extremely flexible and willing to accept changes. Katie's Venus trine Tom's Jupiter indicates that they are generous with one another, always ready to help each other, and have a great respect and appreciation for each other. They also allow each other a lot of freedom to develop other friendships, rather than clinging possessively to one another. Katie, for example, recently spent a week in Paris with Victoria Beckham for some girl-time, while their men folk stayed home with the kids. Tom's Venus trine Katie's Neptune signifies that they evoke in each other a greater sensitivity to music, art and poetry as well as feelings of compassion and kindness. They find each other fascinating and love exploring new dimensions of emotion through the arts and religion. There is also a dreamy, romantic quality to the love that they have for each other. Tom's Venus sextile Katie's Pluto guarantees that romantic love and sexual attraction are very strong. They pour their hearts out to each other and feel like they can express their feelings to each other fully. This is a powerful love affair that may lead to marriage ... in Italy.

With Tom's Sun trine Katie's Venus, they both like, love and appreciate each other and make special efforts to please each other. As Tom said to People Magazine, 'I wanted someone you could share everything with. I don't sleep much, and I like adventures. I wanna do. Let's get it goin', you know? And that's Kate.' Kate's Venus conjunct Tom's Neptune causes their feelings to reach levels of empathy and subtlety which is unusual for both of them. Again, they become very dreamy around each other and enjoy periods of romantic reverie together. 'From the moment I met him it just felt like I'd known him forever,' Katie said in a W Magazine article. 'I was blown away. He's the most incredible man. He's so generous and kind, and he helps so many people. He makes me laugh like I've never laughed and he's a great friend .... Tom and I will always be in our honeymoon phase .... Tom is the most incredible man in the world.' They may even inspire each other to write poetry or kindle religious and spiritual devotion. Even so, Katie's Venus square Tom's Venus indicates that their tastes in art, music and food are frequently very different and, more importantly, their approach to romance and sexuality is sometimes at odds. These differences, though minor, can lead to feelings of distance and mutual misunderstanding. With Katie's Venus square Tom's Saturn, there are some negative tendencies that both of them will need to address. The inclination to marry stems from the strong sense of commitment, reliability and stability that this relationship offers. They both feel that they can count on each other and dedicate their lives to each other. However, this reliable relationship can easily become boring and even cold over time. Katie, in particular, is likely to feel stifled, neglected or unappreciated. Their tastes and interests often differ and they sometimes simply don't connect on an emotional level. To keep this connection alive, they both must maintain the friendships, hobbies and entertainment that they love.

Kate's Mars trine Tom's Pluto ensures that as their relationship grows, they will begin to work together very closely on shared goals -- like making a movie about English soccer legend, David Beckham, starring Katie as Victoria (Posh Spice) Beckham. Together they develop a joint sense of purpose on projects that are rich in meaning. As the intimate blending of their creative efforts and career goals brings them closer, the bond between them becomes even stronger. Physical and sexual attraction remain strong, and chances are high that this will be a lasting, strong union.
