Born: June 20, 1967, Honolulu, Hawaii
Many a heart skipped a beat back in 1990 when dreamboat Tom Cruise married a little-known, leggy lass named Nicole Kidman. Who was this redhead from the Land Down Under? Raised in Sydney, this ballet student took to acting early on, yet wasnt discovered by U.S. audiences until the 1989 thriller Dead Calm hit movie screens. Her next role was in Days of Thunder, which she chose specifically so she could play opposite Cruise. A romance was born, and the rest is history -- including the couples February 2001 split. Never content to be known simply as Mrs. Cruise, Kidman has made a screen name of her own, sizzling in films such as Stanley Kubricks Eyes Wide Shut (with Cruise) and Moulin Rouge -- and wowing worldwide audiences with her dramatic roles in The Hours and Cold Mountain. What else do the stars have to offer her?
Born under a Gemini Sun, Kidman is versatile and content to do several things at once. Possessing a lifelong thirst for knowledge, the actress is curious and restless in both mind and body. Her non-conformist bent is further highlighted in her love of skydiving and other extreme sports. Its no surprise that Tom Cruise gravitated toward this lady: Shes good company and a great conversationalist.
Thanks to her Moon in Sagittarius, searching for the truth is of paramount importance to Kidman. Her quest for the meaning of life may occasionally cause her to speak before thinking, but shell quickly smooth things over. Freedom is also important to the actress, a quality which will manifest itself in a love of travel and a free-form personal relationship -- or in freeing herself from personal entanglements altogether.
With her Mercury in Cancer, this leggy redhead will tell others what they want to hear. Shell also be fond of family and quick to remember her roots. Since Mercury is Square Mars here, Kidman could have a pretty sharp tongue. Debating things just for the fun of it will be a form of fun for her.
Her Venus in Leo speaks to the actresss showy side (as in Moulin Rouge!). Yes, Kidman is dramatic and unabashedly romantic where love is concerned. With her Venus Trine Saturn, expect long-term relationships to have a golden glow. Having Mars in Libra places an even brighter spotlight on Kidmans relationships. A harmonious partnership is important to this lady, as is looking good (those stunning gowns at awards time are an absolute must!). With Mars Opposite Saturn, however, Kidman may well take one step forward for every two steps back. A sudden burst of bravado could deteriorate into indecision, leaving the actress to wonder whether she should act or not. So far, though, it seems that acting has been the right choice for this talented lady!
