20. Story :
MOM is the story of Devaki
(Sridevi) who leads a pleasant
life with her family: her husband
and two daughters. One of her
daughters disowns her as she is
her stepdaughter, which leaves
Devaki disappointed. One of
her daughters gets gang-raped
brutally and no justice will be
done after approaching the
court. The rest of the film is all
about how Devika takes revenge
herself without the notice of
anyone. Watch MOM to know
about the rest.
Analysis :
MOM starts on an interesting note
and it is the gripping narration that
drives the film. Some of the court
episodes and the performances
by the lead actors make the film
convincing. Some of the emotional
episodes are heart touching and
they will sure make a massive
impact. However on the flipside, the
plot looks quite outdated and some
of the episodes have been shot
under the bar.
The second half of MOM too has
been interesting but it dips down
at several parts. The crime scenes
and the investigation episodes
bring lot of interest among the
audience. Some of the episodes in
the second half turn predictable and
the pre-climax episodes turn out
interesting again. On the whole the
second half of MOM has been ok
and it should have been dealt better
in many aspects.
Final Word:
MOM has been impressive at parts
and Sridevi tops the show with her
flawless performance throughout
the movie. Can be given a watch.

23. Story :
Jagga Jasoos is the story of
Jagga (Ranbir Kapoor) who is
an orphan from birth and lives
in a hospital. A man with broken
leg lands in the hospital and he
adopts Jagga after which he
takes to his place. However he
mysteriously disappears from
Jagga’s life after he admits him in
a boarding school. The grown up
Jagga helps cops in solving many
interesting cases. Shruti (Katrina
Kaif) is a school teacher who
narrates Jagga’s stories to kids,
The rest of the film is all about the
relationship between Jagga and
Shruti, how Jagga manages to find
his adopted father. Watch Jagga
Jasoos to know about the rest.
Analysis :
Jagga Jasoos is one film which
has been impressive in each and
every frame. Right from the start,
Jagga Jasoos looks beautiful and
presented well. However the movie
looks dragged several times and
the slow narration may not appeal
to all the sections of the audience.
However the brilliant performances
along with the stupendous technical
values makes Jagga Jasoos top
notch. The perfect interval bang
makes the first half engaging and
entertaining.
The second half of the film too
has been slow in pace and has
strong emotional episodes. Ranbir
Kapoor and Katrina Kaif make the
film connect emotionally with the
audience because of their loud and
subtle performances. The emotional
bonding between a father and
his son has been portrayed well
on screen. The climax has been
thoroughly entertaining and on the
whole, the second half of Jagga
Jasoos looks decent but it will sure
not appeal to all the sections of
audiences.
Final Word:
Jagga Jasoos has Ranbir Kapoor
and Katrina's best performances
till date along with fresh music and
stupendous narration. A decent one
time watch.

24. Story :
Ninnu Kori is the story of Uma
Maheswara Rao (Nani) who
is a PhD student in Vizag. He
meets Pallavi (Nivetha Thomas)
accidentally, after which the duo
falls in love. By the time Pallavi
wants to get married to Uma, he
feels that’s an early decision.
As time passes, Pallavi gets
married to Arun (Aadi Pinisetty)
and shifts to USA. It is during
this time Uma gets back into
their life and the rest of Ninnu
Kori is all about what happens
next. Watch the film to know
about it.
Analysis :
Nani’s success streak continues with
Ninnu Kori and the film is the seventh
hit of the actor in a row. The actor
impresses the audience big time and
he carries the film on his shoulders. His
comic timing is once again a huge plus
for the movie. Nivetha Thomas is sure
one among the most talented actresses
of this generation. Aadi Pinisetty is
sure one actor who has been choosing
interesting roles and Ninnu Kori is
one among them. Murali Sharma
and Prudhvi have been completely
promising in their supporting roles.
Ninnu Kori has an interesting plot and
it is the screenplay, dialogues that
take the film to the next level. Written
with conviction, Shiva Nirvana does
his work with dedication and will sure
make it to the list of top directors soon.
The music and the background score
have been apt and they elevated the
film well. The cinematography is an
asset and the film has some of the
finest visuals. The production values
have been grand and the performances
take the film to the next level.
Final Word:
Ninnu Kori is one of the finest films
Telugu audience have ever witnessed.
Top notch performances and clean
execution takes the film to the next

27. Story :
Fidaa is the story of Varun (Varuntej)
who resides in USA along with his
brother (Raja). His brother gets
married to Sharanya during which
Varun meets Bhanumathi (Sai
Pallavi) who is a village based
educated girl. Varun gets impressed
to Bhanumathi bigtime however he
has dreams of making it big in USA.
Bhanumathi always loves to stay in
the village along with her father (Sai
Chand). Varun struggles after Bhanu
rejects him and the rest of the film
is how he manages to convince her
and wins his love. Watch Fidaa to
know about the complete movie.
Analysis :
The first half of Fidaa has been
extremely impressive right from
the first frame. The film has been
racy, fresh, loaded with loads of
entertainment and it has been shot
across beautiful locales. Sai Pallavi
takes the lead and impresses
the audience bigtime with her
performance alone. The songs have
been shot across beautiful locales
and the narration has been pleasant.
With an interesting interval episode,
the first half of Fidaa impresses the
audience bigtime in all the available
ways.
The second half of the film fails
to live up the expectations. The
first half an hour of the movie has
been utterly wasted and makes
no difference. The movie picks
up again however the predictable
narration fails to make much impact
across the audience. The climax
episodes have been shot well and
the second half of Fidaa will sure fail
to meet up the expectations.
Final Word:
Sai Pallavi makes one of the finest
debuts of Telugu cinema. She
tops the show and dominates in
each and every scene however a
better second half would have done
wonders.

31. Jagga Jasoos (English: Detective Jagga) is
a 2017 Indian mystery musical adventure

by Anurag Basu, and produced by Basu and
Ranbir Kapoor. The film features Ranbir
Kapoor and Katrina Kaif in lead roles, and
tells the story of a teenage detective in
search of his missing father.
Jagga Jasoos
Visual Treat but
Falls Flat
31WWW.CINESPRINT.COM | AUGUST 2017
32. The film was released on
14 July 2017 and it received
poor response from the
audience. The film has
been badly rejected by the
audience.
The story of Jagga Jasoos
evolves around the infamous
high profile case of Purulia
Arms Drop, which took place
in the year 1995 allegedly
to overthrow the then
Communist Government
of West Bengal, India.
Jagga (Ranbir Kapoor),
a curious and shy young
boy in a quaint little town
lives a happy life with his
accident-prone father, Bagchi
(Saswata Chatterjee). After
admitting Jagga into a
boarding school, his father
suddenly disappears. Feeling
abandoned, Jagga's only
contact with his father is a
VHS tape that he receives
in the mail every year on his
birthday. Armed with sharp
detective skills, Jagga sets
out to solve the mystery of
his missing parent. Along
the way, he finds a partner
in Shruti (Katrina Kaif), an
accident-prone journalist with
her own international criminal
case to solve. Using a few
tricks he learnt from Bagchi,
with Shruti embark on a
mission to uncover details
of his father's mysterious life
and finds himself embroiled
in a worldwide smuggling
racket.
Filming took place in Cape
Town, South Africa. Reports
from Cape Town were that
the real-world romance of
leads Ranbir Kapoor and
Katrina Kaif and occasional
arguments between the
two caused some delays
and resulted in scenes not
having the impact intended
by director Anurag Basu.
By March 20, 2014, the
director had completed
20 days of filming with his
leads and, being unhappy
with initial efforts by actor
Ranbir Kapoor, intends to
use the additional schedule
time to re-shoot some
scenes. Kapoor has been
simultaneously shooting
for Anurag Kashyap's
Bombay Velvet and Imtiaz
Ali's Tamasha. The director
explained, "We've to shoot

Now we'll go into a lengthy

end of the year the shooting
would be complete." On
October 21, 2014, the team
started filming in Thailand.
On April 20, 2016, they filmed
in Darjeeling. Ravi Varman is
the Director of Photography.
The film was also shot in
Morocco.
The film was originally
planned to release on
November 27, 2016, but due
to conflicting commitments
by the lead actors, the film's
release date was pushed to
April 2017. Then the director
called back Ranbir and
Katrina for re-shooting of
some scenes on the set and
the film is once again pushed
to release on July 14, 2017.
Made on a budget of Rs 110
crores, the film fell flat and
struggled to mint money in
its opening week. All the
buyers ended up in hefty
losses. However Ranbir's
performance has been widely
appreciated by the audience.

Fidaa is my best
work till Date
Sekhar Kammula
Sensible filmmaker Sekhar Kammula is one
of the finest directors Telugu cinema has.
Unfortunately, his recent outings failed
to make much impact and now he is making
his comeback with Fidaa.
36. Exclusive Interview
Here is an exclusive
interview with the
filmmaker:
What went wrong with your
last film Anamika?
I was affected the issue of
Nirbhaya and I was going to
many colleges to motivate
students. Each and every
filmmaker is disturbed by
certain aspects. Nirbhaya
was one such incident that
made a deep impact on me.
That’s when I got an offer
to remake Kahani. It was a
woman centric film. That’s the
reason why I removed pillow-
faking aspect in climax. I didn’t
want to show my heroine as a
vulnerable character. After the
release, I realised that my fans
doesn’t want such films from
me. As a filmmaker, I thought
that it was an obligation to
make a woman-centric film
like Anamika.
How did Fidaa happen?
After Anamika, I decided to
get back to romantic genre
where my strength lies. I
always wanted to do a film
with USA backdrop. Dil Raju
wanted to make a film with me
and he suggested the name of
Varun Tej. That’s how Fidaa
happened.
How is it like shooting in
USA?
I thought that it would be
a cakewalk to do a film in
USA with the connections I
have. But, I had to struggle
at the beginning. I have to
thank a lot of people who
volunteered to help us out
with logistics. The second
USA camera unit has done
a splending job. There are
lots of Telugu families in the
neighborhood we shot at.
Nobody complained about
sound of generator. They also
supplied props.
What are the unique aspects
of Fidaa?
Youngsters and progressive
girls connect with Fidaa very
well. The following factors will
help the movie
1. Telangana backdrop. It’s a
tribute to Telangana villages.
2. Happy & chirpy love story.
3. Women
What’s the reason for casting
Sai Pallavi?
I haven’t seen Malayalam
Premam yet. I liked Sai
Pallavi’s performance in Dhee
dance program. I wanted to
cast her in Life is Beautiful.
Her mother told me that Sai
Pallavi can’t do it as she
was going to Russia to study
medicine. She did Premam
during vacation. I thought
she is the right choice for
Fidaa as she is a full time
actress now. I asked for an
audition for Fidaa and she
impressed me a lot. She has
dubbed on her own. She
understands the nuances of
Telangana dialect now. She
is an exceptional talent.
Varun Tej has also surprised
me. He has matched her
performance. His character
is subtle, yet lovable. He can
speak with eyes.
Tell us about Dil Raju.
What’s his contribution to
the movie?
36 WWW.CINESPRINT.COM | AUGUST 2017
37. He is a very good producer. He
also told me that Fidaa works only
if it’s made in my style. Hence, he
made sure that he didn’t involve in
creative aspect. He came to shoot
for only a couple of times. He
suggested a couple of changes
at editing table from audience's
perspective and I implement them.
How well is the film accepted?
Fidaa has been exceptional all
over and it is minting huge money
all over. Fidaa is the best work of
mine till date.
What’s your favorite song?
Oosu Podhu song is my favorite.
This song will become an anthem
song for youth after release.
Vachinde song is being played
in mehandi functions now. Hey
Pillagada has a terrific recall value.
What’s your next project?
I have a few ideas that suit stars
as well as newcomers. I am
working on them currently.shaped
up and he thanked the audience
for making the film a massive hit.
He also said that Oopiri will be a
platform for many new and fresh
films to be made in Tollywood
and the success of the movie has
given new energy for the entire
team and for the makers.

Actress Priyanka Chopra on
Friday refused to confirm if she
was co-producing a TV series with
Madhuri Dixit-Nene. However,
she said she has been working on
developing a lot of content. There

about it, Priyanka told reporters, “I

Shah Rukh Khan
Bollywood’s heartthrob Shah Rukh Khan,who plays a
tourist guide in Imtiaz Ali’s Jab Harry Met Sejal, received
an honorary membership of Jodhpur Tourist Guide
Association in Jodhpur, today. The 51-year-old was in
Jaipur to promote his film but he took a detour and visited
Jodhpur to receive the honour. The Jodhpur Guide
Association felicitated Shah Rukh with a membership
and badge as a token to mark the association.

Bollywood
Salman Khan
If you remember, we had you told that
Aanand L Rai had wanted to work with
Salman Khan first in the dwarf movie that
he is making with Shah Rukh Khan now.
But turns out that wasn’t the first movie
that the Tubelight star was offered which
required him to play a vertically challenged
guy. Back in the ’90s, when there was no
one as handsome as him, Salman was
offered a similar role and he had turned it
down. Grapevine suggests the reason that
prompted this action from him was that he
didn’t feel he should do a role of such nature.

upon quite a few socially relevant topics be it eve
teasing, molestation etc.
Kareena Kapoor
Kareena Kapoor Khan is back with her
gorgeous fashion and once again, we’re
left stumped! Seriously, how do you do that,
Bebo? The diva stepped out in a dusty pink
satin dress. Now this isn’t the first time that
she has left us speechless with her fashion
outing. But the fact that she has pulled off the
otherwise difficult satin material, deserves an
applause. In the past several actresses like
Deepika Padukone, Disha Patani, Aishwarya
Rai Bachchan, Kangana Ranaut have donned
the fabric.
Aamir Khan
Superstar Aamir Khan
says he is unhappy at
not being able to watch
the latest released

Aamir on Friday took to
Facebook and wrote: ” I
am most upset that I am

wished good luck to the
cast and crew of the film,
which stars Ranbir Kapoor

Were you thrilled that the the hit
Baahubali jodi of Prabhas and
Anushka Shetty was returning
to the silver screen in Saaho?
Well, you might be in for some
disappointment. Fans of Darling
and Sweety were happy when
news of their reunion on screen
made headlines. Some also felt
that the makers of Saaho would
benefitfromthiscasting,especially
with the stupendous success of
SS Rajamouli’s film. EXCLUSIVE
report had also revealed that
Anushka was undergoing a
massive transformation for her
role.
Prabhas
Now that the Baahubali mania has finally died out,
Prabhas fans are gearing up for his next film – Saaho.
Touted to be a hi-fi, mega budget actioner, Saaho will
be one of Prabhas’ most anticipated films. As per the
latest update,the actor is all set to start shooting for
Saaho by July end, sources revealed as per reports
on Hindustan Times. Yes, after delivering one of the
biggest hits of all time and a long break, the actor will
begin shooting for his next
Kamal Haasan
Trouble seems to have escalated for Kamal
Haasan for not resigning from his host
position in Bigg Boss Tamil. The group is
actually protesting outside the actor’s house
and have even threatened to vandalise
theatres that are playing films starring the
actor, if he doesn’t step down as the host!
That’s the level of incredulity. According

Well, I agree there can be something sensuous
about a flower being thrown on a women’s

That’s when she let out a big secret on Telugu

thing about the Telugu superstar that nobody
knew about. That’s when Samantha said – ‘That
he’s the most entertaining company . I dare you
to not laugh if he’s in the room.’ Now that’s new
to us! Seems that the Telugu star is the funny
guy when he’s not busy shooting. Samantha did
reveal something we did not know and we are
pleasantly surprised!

Ranbir Kapoor is an Indian film actor and producer.
The son of actors Rishi and Neetu, and the
grandson of actor-director Raj, Kapoor pursued
film-making and method acting at the School of
Visual Arts and the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film
Institute, respectively.
He subsequently assisted Sanjay
Leela Bhansali on the film Black
(2005), and made his acting debut
with Bhansali's tragic romance
Saawariya (2007), a box office
flop. Kapoor rose to prominence
with his performances in the
coming-of-age film Wake Up Sid
(2009), the romantic comedy Ajab
Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani (2009),
and the comedy drama Rocket
Singh: Salesman of the Year
(2009).
The romantic drama Rockstar
(2011) and the comedy drama
Barfi! (2012) earned Kapoor two
consecutive Best Actor awards
at Filmfare, and a starring role
in the romantic comedy Yeh
Jawaani Hai Deewani (2013)—
one of the highest-grossing
Bollywood films—established
him as a leading Bollywood
actor. However, he followed it
by starring in a series of films
that under-performed at the box
office, although his performance
in the romantic drama Tamasha
(2015) was critically acclaimed.
This changed in 2016 when

Through his career in Bollywood
films, Kapoor has become one of
the most popular celebrities and
one of the highest-paid actors in
India.His acting skills were always
acclaimed and he is considered
as one of the finest actors of india.
He is the recipient of several
awards, including five Filmfare
Awards. In addition to acting in
films, Kapoor supports charities
and causes. He is the co-founder
of the production company Picture
Shuru Productions, and is a co-
owner of the Indian Super League
football team Mumbai City FC.
Ranbir Kapoor was born on 28
September 1982 in Mumbai to
Rishi and Neetu, both actors of
the Hindi film industry. He is the
great-grandson of Prithviraj and
the grandson of actor-director
Raj. His elder sister, Riddhima
(born 1980), is an interior and
fashion designer. The actresses
Karisma and Kareena are his first
cousins. Kapoor was educated
at the Bombay Scottish School
in Mahim. As a student, he found
little interest in academics and
would rank low among his peers.
Kapoor has been vocal about
how his parent's troubled
marriage affected him as a child:
"Sometimes the fights would get
really bad. I would be sitting on
the steps, my head between my
knees, till five or six in the morning,
waiting for them to stop". These
experiences led to a "reservoir of
emotions building up inside [him]",
which he said compelled him to
develop an interest in film. In his
early years, Kapoor was close to
his mother, but had a dysfunctional
relationship with his father. After
completing his tenth standard
examinations, he worked as an
assistant director to his father on
the film Aa Ab Laut Chalen (1999),
during which he developed a
closer bond with him.
The actor's latest outing Jagga
Jasoos has been delayed by
years which has been directed by
Anurag Basu. Karina Kaif played
the female lead and the movie
received poor response from the
audience. Anurag Basu has been

Katrina Kaif is a British model who made it big
in Bollywood. The actress was born on July
16th 1983 and she worked for Hindi, Telugu and
Malayalam films in her career. In addition to
being one of Bollywood's highest-paid actresses,
she is considered one of India's most attractive
celebrities by the media.
Born in British Hong Kong, Kaif
and her family lived in several
countries before she moved
to India. She received her first
modelling assignment as a
teenager and later pursued
a career as a fashion model.
Katrina Kaif was born in Hong
Kong with her mother's surname
Turquotte (also spelt Turcotte).
According to the actress, her
father (Mohammed Kaif) is a
British businessman of Kashmiri
Indian descent and her mother
(Suzanne, also spelt Susanna)
is an English lawyer and charity
worker.She has seven siblings:
three elder sisters (Stephanie,
Christine and Natasha), three
younger sisters (Melissa, Sonia,
Isabel) and an elder brother,
Michael. Isabel Kaif is also a
model and actress.Kaif's parents
divorced when she was a child,
and her father moved to the
United States. She said her
father had no influence on Kaif
or her siblings while they were
growing up, and they were raised
by their mother.
On her father's absence in her
life, Kaif stated: "When I see
friends who have wonderful
fathers who are like pillars of

if only I had that. But instead
of complaining, I should be
grateful for all the other things
I have". In a 2009 interview
with The Indian Express, she
said she was not in touch with
her father.
At a fashion show in London,
filmmaker Kaizad Gustad
spotted Kaif and decided
to cast her in Boom (2003),
a critical and commercial
failure. While filming in India,
Kaif received modelling
assignments and established
a successful modelling career.
However, filmmakers were
hesitant to cast her due to
her poor command of Hindi.
After appearing in the Telugu
film, Malliswari (2004), Kaif
earned commercial success in
Bollywood with the romantic
comedies Maine Pyaar Kyun
Kiya? (2005) and Namastey
London (2007). She followed
with a series of box-office
hits, but was criticised for
her acting, repetitive roles
and inclination to male-
dominated films.

Filmfare Award
for Best Actress
nomination. After
roles in Ajab Prem
Ki Ghazab Kahani

second Filmfare nomination
for her performance in Mere
Brother Ki Dulhan (2011).
Kaif featured in the thrillers
Ek Tha Tiger (2012) and
Dhoom 3 (2013), both of
which rank among the
highest-grossing Bollywood
films of all time. Despite
receiving mixed reviews from
critics for her acting prowess,
she has established herself
as a commercially successful
actress of Hindi cinema.
In addition to acting, Kaif is
involved with her mother's
charity and participates in
stage shows. She is guarded
about her personal life,
which is a subject of media
scrutiny. Her background
has also been a topic of
discussion, with some
sources accusing her of
fabricating her history. All her
recent outings ended up as
debacles and the actress has
been eagerly waiting to score
a massive hit. She pinned
hopes on Salman Khan’s
upcoming movie Tiger Zinda
Hai which will start rolling
next year. Katrina will play

154. Star Gazing
ARIES
You’re known as the pioneer of the Zodiac, dear Ram. Like Star Trek, going where
you’ve never been before is your thing. Lead, follow or get out of my way is your
mantra. Once you’ve met the challenge, it’s on to the next thing. Details and efficiency are
usually not your forte. Yet on August 10 when Mars, your guardian angel planet, cycles into
Virgo, the most productive sign in the zodiac, you’ll need to slow down, so you can catch up
with yourself.
GEMINI
Ouch! Your relationships have turned
you every which way but loose in
the last five months. As an air sign,
you usually prefer to keep things on
the light side, dear Gemini, and digging deep
into your partner’s psyche and feeling the
intensity of them wanting more from you is not
really comfortable for you. Yet in the last few
months, you’ve been initiated into the depths of
relationships as Pluto has been retrograde in
your 7th house, the house of partnership.
CANCER
You’ve been learning a lot about
where your true security and safety
come from, dear Moon child, and
that it’s high time to be your own very best
mommy and daddy. You are the most
emotional sign in the zodiac and with Saturn
transiting in Cancer (which only happens
every thirty years) you feel a greater self-
discipline and can be more responsible for
what you’re feeling, yes, ALL your feelings.
LEO
This is your month to shine! You
are the star, the producer and the
director of the Zodiac. No one knows
more about their magical inner child
than you, dear Lion. When it comes to love,
generosity of spirit and an open heart, you’re
a natural. You instinctively know that when
you’re having fun, your heart is wide open.
You’re easy to spot in any crowd with that big
cheshire grin from ear to ear.
TAURUS
You finally have clarity about
what you really love, value and
appreciate and what brings you
pleasure. On August 2, Venus,
your guardian angel planet, returns to 26
degrees of Gemini, where she was when she
retrograded on May 17. It’s been a long haul,
dear Taurus, and has taken every bit of your
patience, persistence and determination to
hang in there with yourself.
154 WWW.CINESPRINT.COM | AUGUST 2017
155. VIRGO
You know you can sometimes feel inadequate and that you’re not doing it right when
despite your every effort things don’t seem to turn out perfectly. Well, dear Virgo, you
Good Samaritan of the zodiac, this is not one of those times. It’s time for you to cash
in and reap what you have sown over the last twelve years as Jupiter, the planet of growth
and expansion, has been in your sign since last August.
CAPRICORN
Venus enters your relationship
arena, on the 7th, when she flows
into emotional Cancer. Normally
invulnerable and reserved by nature,
dear mountain goat, your relationships require
you to show your feelings and your sensitivity
now. It may be a stretch at first but you’ll get
the hang of it. Just don’t take it on as another
obligation, should or have to. And although
usually reserved, disciplined and somewhat
business-like in nature, you may even like it.
PISCES
With expansive, benevolent Jupiter,
one of your two guardian angel
planets (Neptune is the other one)
transiting your 7th house for the
last year, the spotlight has been on your
connections with others. If you know of a
workshop or seminar on relationships, sign up
for it, because the more you can learn about
what really attracts you and why, the happier
you’ll be.
LIBRA
August 2 is a special day for you, as
Venus, your ruling planet, returns to
where she was when she retrograded
on May 17. It should be crystal clear
now what is important in your relationships…
what brings you pleasure and what doesn’t. How
you share love in your one-on-one connections
with others will become apparent. Are you
adding an energy that is happy and uplifting
to those around you? And are they adding a
positive energy to your life? At the very least.
SCORPIO
Even though Pluto, the planet of
power and transformation and your
guardian angel planet, doesn’t
move forward again until August
30, you’ll be feeling the magic of rebirth all
through this month. It’s time to come out of
the cave you’ve been in since March 24 when
Pluto began its retrograde journey.
SAGITTARIUS
It’s been a bit challenging for you
this year, dear Archer, with Jupiter,
your ruling planet in Virgo, the
sign of efficiency, productivity and minutia,
because you prefer the BIG picture. As
the eternal student of the zodiac, you have
probably honed certain skills and learned
new techniques in your job. The adventure
for you is in the details now. And with Pluto
in your sign moving forward on the 30th.
AQUARIUS
The focus is on relationships for you
this month, oh rebel of the zodiac, as
the Sun in fiery Leo cycles through
your 7th house. There are probably lots of
folks pulling at you and wanting your attention.
The important question is what do YOU want
to create in your relationships now, as the New
Moon in Leo on the 15th is an opportunity to
plant the seeds for that which you desire.
