When it comes to love relationships, Holmes is likely to feel pulled in several directions at once. In addition to her desire for depth and security in her relationships, Katie Holmes has an impulsive side and a need for a lot of variety and excitement, as discussed in the following paragraphs. These urges do not have to conflict, but they certainly can, especially if Katie acts on her spontaneous impulses without much consideration for their long-term effects on her personal life. Katie has conflicting emotional desires and needs which complicate her personal life and relationships. She may feel that she cannot depend on her love partner to take care of her or perhaps Holmes cannot decide what she really wants in love relationships: a parent or a lover. If her needs for emotional sustenance and love are not satisfied, overeating (especially sweets) can become a problem.
Her own feelings and emotions are something of an enigma to Katie, and it is often difficult for her to share with others what she is feeling. Hence, Katie Holmes frequently withdraws from contact with the world, and needs a healing, peaceful environment in order to blossom and come out of hers.
In love relationships, Katie Holmes desires a deep, intense and passionate union with her beloved and forms very strong emotional bonds and attachments. Katie "marries" the person she loves at a very deep emotional level, and is often extremely possessive and jealous of anyone who may pose a threat to that union. Holmes can be very demanding of her love partner. Katie Holmes tends to be somewhat suspicious of her partner's relationships, even if they are merely platonic. If she is ever betrayed, Katie Holmes is capable of hating with as much force and intensity as she once loved. She is attracted to people who have an aura of mystery about them.
Warm, loving and generous in her relationships, Katie Holmes inspires tremendous devotion and loyalty in her loved ones. This is good, since she would never settle for anything less! Katie wants to be adored and worshipped like the royalty she feels she is, and it is difficult for anyone to resist the warmth and attention Holmes lavishes on those she cares about. Katie Holmes has a great deal of pride and needs to be recognized and appreciated. The way to really hurt her feelings is to ignore her. She is genuine, sincere, and has a strong sense of personal integrity. Katie Holmes hates emotional games and dishonesty.
The beauty and harmony of her surroundings have a very powerful effect on Holmes' emotions. She is very sensitive and cannot stand to be in an atmosphere where there is discord or dissonance. Gentle, kindhearted, and peace loving, Katie Holmes is prepared to sacrifice a great deal in order to avoid a fight and to "make everyone happy".
A warm, loving, and comfortable home is very important to Katie Holmes and she invests a lot of her energy into beautifying, decorating, and creating a lovely home. Also, Katie shares her affection with the people in her family very generously and having close family relationships is a major priority for her. Being at home makes Holmes happy. Holmes also identifies with the oppressed, disenfranchised or underdog in any situation and she wants to help them or care for them in some way.
Katie Holmes craves excitement, change and discovery, and cannot tolerate a routine or lifestyle that offers little in the way of surprise or challenge. Excitable, spontaneous and enthusiastic about anything new, she may be perceived by others as being too impulsive, especially in personal relationships. It is not easy for Katie Holmes to make or keep commitments, since she does not know how she will be feeling from one day to the next. Emotional freedom is very important to Holmes. Her domestic life may be very unstable - but Holmes likes it that way.
