Katie Holmes’ latest movie, Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark comes out this Friday. It’s fair to say that her career has been spotty since her Dawson’s Creek days, but her fame certainly shot through the roof when she became Mrs. Tom Cruise. With attention on her personal life exceeding any focus on her professional life, will her acting career ever be as respected as she would like? Will she ever be a box-office smash or an award-winning actress?

Katie is a Sagittarius with a Leo Rising, which means this is her year for fame and career success. With Jupiter, the planet of luck, aligning with her mid-heaven in Taurus, it indicates that now -- until June 2012 -- will be when she’ll have the most opportunity to reach her pinnacle of success. However, it’s up to her to take the reins or not. As a double Fire sign, her ambition is strong, but her weakness is making impetuous decisions. So while Katie’s stars are currently on her side, it’s up to her to make wise decisions -- her fate is currently in her hands.
