Jennifer Hudson was born on September 12, 1981 in Chicago, Illinois. Her rocket to fame first began as one of the finalists on the third season of the television series American Idol. Although she did not win the competition, she did win the heart of Americans across the country. Prior to American Idol, Hudson had worked as a singer and actor aboard cruise ships, but never had any formal musical training.
Hudson has Sun in Virgo, an Aries Rising, and Moon in Pisces in the Twelfth House. Her hard working, independent, and sweet spirit shines when she is on stage. Her intuitive nature allows her to feel her audience and give a performance that touches others on a very deep emotional level.
Her Seventh House is loaded with Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, and Saturn in Libra giving her a grand stellium. This means that not only is she loaded with talent, charm, and beauty...she will shine best when working as a group in a partnership. On a romantic note, she will end up marrying a man who is older than her and most likely in the entertainment industry. I expect that will take place within the next three years.
In November 2005, Hudson was cast in the prized role of Effie White in the film adaptation of Dreamgirls. Hudson had to gain a total of 20 pounds in order to play the role.[1] She beat out hundreds of professional singers and actresses for the role. Filming of Dreamgirls began on January 09, 2006, and the film went into limited release on December 15 and national release on December 25. Reviews of the film acclaimed Hudson's performance, and she has been lauded as the frontrunner for this year's Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress and she was recently nominated for a Golden Globe.
My prediction is that she will win one of the awards, but not both. I am leaning towards a Golden Globe, but she definitely deserves either one. Hudson can expect to enjoy a long and rewarding career in the entertainment industry. Also, I predict she will win a Grammy for her new album that has yet to be released.
