We all fell in love with Freida Pinto in Slumdog Millionaire, but that was so 2008 -- she still hasn’t managed to turn into a big movie draw. The public does seem to love her though and Pinto has garnered some sort of attention all the while thanks to modeling gigs. This Friday’s opening of Rise of the Planet of the Apes marks her first blockbuster premiere in a while -- will this movie bring her the recognition she’s after?

As a Libra, patience is her virtue. This will come in handy as her career slowly gains validation. As it stands, she is currently facing Saturn, the planet of discipline in her first house -- the identity house -- and this has been causing the hold up for her to be a big box-office draw. She will have this influence working against her until October 2012. Since she is a late-born Libra (October 18), she will feel the brunt of it over the course of the next year. The bad news is that she will then be going into her Saturn Return and will have to face a new series of challenges. Pinto will have to work harder to keep up with the fame game, as she defines the actress she wants to be.
