Rangoon<br />
3/5<br />
Rangoon is one<br />
of the finest Vishal<br />
Bharadwaj’s<br />
movies and the<br />
performances by<br />
the lead actors<br />
elevate the film<br />
well. An intense<br />
love saga laced<br />
with the background<br />
of second<br />
world war.<br />
Analysis :<br />
The first half of Rangoon starts with<br />
a bang and all the three leading actors<br />
thrive to perform to their best.<br />
Especially Shahid and Kangana<br />
have been outstanding. The movie<br />
has a predictable plot but it is the<br />
narration of the characters and<br />
their performances which lead the<br />
show. The entire first half has been<br />
decent and the songs have been<br />
extremely colorful. The performances<br />
by the lead actors make a strong<br />
impact across the audience.<br />
Story :<br />
Rangoon is an intense love story<br />
that has been set during 1940s<br />
during the Second World War.<br />
Rangoon revolves around three<br />
characters Russi Billimoria (Saif<br />
Ali Khan), Jamadar Nawab Malik<br />
(Shahid Kapoor) and Julia (Kangana<br />
Ranaut). While Russi is<br />
an action hero and a filmmaker,<br />
Julia is a famous actress and<br />
Nawab is the game changer.<br />
Rangoon is all about the love<br />
stories between them and is<br />
showcased about the love, passion<br />
and emotions. Watch Rangoon<br />
to know about the complete<br />
story and what happened<br />
next.<br />
The second half of the film manages<br />
to stand convincing but it is the<br />
slow pace and dragged episodes<br />
that disturb the audience. The<br />
songs have been shot well and the<br />
backdrop of Second World War has<br />
been extremely convincing. The<br />
pre-climax episodes make the film<br />
interesting and intense. The climax<br />
has been decent and on the whole,<br />
Rangoon is quite convincing if one<br />
ignores some flaws.<br />
Final Word:<br />
Rangoon is one of the finest Vishal<br />
Bharadwaj’s movies and the performances<br />
by the lead actors elevate<br />
the film well. An intense love saga<br />
laced with the background of second<br />
world war.<br />

Nenu Local<br />
Analysis :<br />
Nenu Local is<br />
Nani’s one man<br />
show all over<br />
and for the first<br />
time he excelled<br />
completely in a<br />
mass role. Keerthy<br />
Suresh looks<br />
adorable and<br />
Nenu Local is an<br />
out and out commercial<br />
mass<br />
entertainer.<br />
Story :<br />
Nenu Local is the story of Babu<br />
(Nani) who is careless about<br />
his career and loves to lead a<br />
simple life. He falls in love with<br />
Keerthy (Keerthy Suresh) who<br />
aims bigger in life. By the time<br />
he convinces her, Babu gets the<br />
real twist in his life. He manages<br />
to stand strong despite of the<br />
problems and the rest of Nenu<br />
Local is all about how he wins<br />
his girl and settles in life. Watch<br />
Nenu Local to know about the<br />
rest.<br />
The first half of Nenu Local looks<br />
completely entertaining and racy.<br />
The movie has a packed love<br />
story which impresses the audience<br />
to the core. The songs look<br />
extremely fresh and they have<br />
been placed well. The interval<br />
episode make the film interesting<br />
and Nani dominates the show with<br />
his flawless comic timing. On the<br />
whole the complete first half has<br />
been entertaining throughout.<br />
The second half of Nenu Local too<br />
manages to stand tall and Nani<br />
keeps the film going with his momentum.<br />
Some of the emotional<br />
episodes will impress the family<br />
audience big time and the movie<br />
turns slower at parts. It is the preclimax<br />
episodes that gain back<br />
the momentum. The climax is a<br />
huge asset for the film and on the<br />
whole the second half of Nenu Local<br />
makes no mistake and keeps<br />
the audience engaging.<br />
Final Word:<br />
Nenu Local is Nani’s one man<br />
show all over and for the first time<br />
he excelled completely in a mass<br />
role. Keerthy Suresh looks adorable<br />
and Nenu Local is an out and<br />

Om Namo Venkatesaya<br />
3/5<br />
Om Namo Venkatesaya<br />
is one<br />
of the finest devotional<br />
entertainers<br />
in the recent times.<br />
Nagarjuna excels<br />
in his role and the<br />
devotional narration<br />
along with the<br />
songs, performances<br />
make Om Namo<br />
Venkatesaya a<br />
decent one time<br />
watch.<br />
Story :<br />
Om Namo Venkatesaya is the<br />
story of Ram (Nagarjuna) who<br />
believes in eternal powers of<br />
God. He joins the ashram of<br />
Padmananda Swamy (Saikumar)<br />
and gets attracted to Lord Venkateswara.<br />
To seek the divinity<br />
of Lord, he reaches Tirumala. It<br />
is then he faces heat from many<br />
unusual powers in Tirumala. The<br />
rest of Om Namo Venkatesaya<br />
is all about the problems that<br />
Ram faces and how he becomes<br />
Hatiram Baba. Watch Om Namo<br />
Venkatesaya to know about the<br />
story.<br />
Analysis :<br />
The first half of Om Namo Venkatesaya<br />
runs on a slow pace though<br />
it has enough stuff to narrate. The<br />
movie picks up at times however<br />
the slow narration and the way the<br />
characters have been presented will<br />
please everyone. The songs have<br />
been completely fresh and they have<br />
been placed at the right points. With<br />
an interesting interval episode, the<br />
first half of Om Namo Venkatesaya<br />
looks decent.<br />
The second half dips down badly<br />
because of the unwanted stuff occupying<br />
the major time. However the<br />
film picks back again and keeps the<br />
audience engaging. Though the film<br />
lacks entertainment, the devotional<br />
episodes have been well projected<br />
on screen. The last half an hour of<br />
Om Namo Venkatesaya is an asset<br />
and is the highlight of the film. On<br />
the whole, the second half of Om<br />
Namo Venkatesaya looks apt and is<br />
focussed completely on devotional<br />
aspects.<br />
Final Word:<br />
Om Namo Venkatesaya is one of the<br />
finest devotional entertainers in the<br />
recent times. Nagarjuna excels in<br />
his role and the devotional narration<br />
along with the songs, performances<br />
make Om Namo Venkatesaya a<br />
decent one time watch.<br />

A Master-piece<br />
of<br />
Indian Cinema<br />
Indian cinema witnessed massive changes over the<br />
past few years and many passionate filmmakers have<br />
been finding ways to present different films on Indian<br />
screen. Even the audience have been encouraging<br />
fresh talent and innovative concepts. There have been<br />
many such examples in the recent times and the latest<br />
example is Ghazi.<br />
This marks the first submarine<br />
film in the history of Indian<br />
cinema and it describes about<br />
the unknown war between India<br />
and Pakistan that took place<br />
in 1971 across the coast of<br />
Visakhapatnam.<br />
Sankalp, a debutant impressed<br />
the filmmakers with the script<br />
and Rana Daggubati has been<br />
brought on board after which<br />
the budget of the film crossed<br />
the limit. Top producer Prasad V<br />
Potluri has been impressed with<br />
the narration and he decided to<br />
make the film in a grand manner.<br />
Matinee Entertainments coproduced<br />
Ghazi which has been<br />
made on a massive budget of Rs<br />
12 crores. Kay Kay Menon, Om<br />
Puri, Atul Kulkarni and Tapsee<br />
Pannu played the other crucial<br />
roles.<br />

Ghazi has<br />
been shot in<br />

but it took<br />
six months<br />
to complete<br />
the postproduction<br />
work.<br />
Ghazi has been shot in three<br />
months but it took six months<br />
to complete the post-production<br />
work. Ghazi had enough dose<br />
of VFX effects throughout the<br />
movie and the makers spent a<br />
bomb for the visual effects of<br />
the submarine. Ghazi released<br />
on February 17th in Telugu,<br />
Tamil and Hindi languages.<br />
The movie received exceptional<br />
response from the audience all<br />
over.<br />
Bollywood’s top filmmaker<br />
Karan Johar acquired the<br />
Bollywood rights of the film and<br />
released in record number of<br />
screens. The movie already<br />
minted over Rs 40 crores in 10<br />
days and it still running strong<br />
all over. The makers have<br />
been left delighted with the<br />
stupendous response from the<br />
audience. Ghazi will stand as<br />
a master-piece in the history of<br />

Baahubali actor Rana Daggubati, is back with<br />
the release of his film "The Ghazi Attack", which<br />
is based on the Submarine PNS Ghazi attack<br />
which happened in 1971 at Visakhapatnam.<br />
In an exclusive interview, Rana<br />
Daggubati talked about his role<br />
transformations, his struggle while<br />
shooting for Baahubali 2 and The Ghazi<br />
Attack at the same time and much more.<br />
Daggubati is also quite excited for the<br />
film Baahubali’s comeback and feels that<br />
part two will be bigger and better.<br />
On 'The Ghazi Attack' trailer response<br />
from the audience<br />
It feels very nice as we have tried<br />
something new and unique that has not<br />
been tried before. We have also tried to<br />
tell about the kind of visuals that is<br />
very unique. I am happy that people<br />
have taken this content and have<br />
watched it. It’s quite a satisfying<br />
feeling.<br />
What are the criteria when you pick<br />
such strong roles?<br />
For me it’s just a story that I want to<br />
tell…I see if the story has something to<br />
tell or if it’s the character that I haven’t<br />
played before. It’s a combination of all<br />
these to make me try to do a different<br />
film every time.<br />

Exclusive Interview
The reason I<br />
took this film<br />
is because it’s a<br />
very important<br />
story to tell.<br />
It’s about<br />
the incident<br />
that happened<br />
nobody knew<br />
about. I have<br />
heard the<br />
stories of<br />
submarines<br />
Is it’s difficult to transform<br />
from one role to another.<br />
It's really difficult but that’s<br />
my job to play different<br />
roles at different times for<br />
different films. That’s the<br />
only thing that keeps us<br />
going. It’s just like to wake<br />
up with different people<br />
each day and there are<br />
certain research and things<br />
to learn from everyone<br />
and from every film. For<br />
example, the film I did, “The<br />
Ghazi Attack”, which is an<br />
inspiring story on a true<br />
incident that happened in<br />
1971. You get to understand<br />
the period of 1971, you get<br />
to understand what India<br />
had done, what the war of<br />
terrain used to be. These<br />
are the things that you<br />
don’t learn otherwise. So<br />
I think the cinema we are<br />
into has given me grounded<br />
experience that I ever had.<br />
What made you say yes for<br />
the film Ghazi?<br />
The reason I took this film is<br />
because it’s a very important<br />
story to tell. It’s about the<br />
incident that happened<br />
nobody knew about. I<br />
have heard the stories of<br />
submarines. So when you<br />
hear all these stories and<br />
finally find a full-fledged story<br />
for it, you want to be more<br />
than happy to be the part<br />
the film, making it a larger<br />
experience.<br />
On working with Kay Kay<br />
Menon, late Om Puri and Atul<br />
Kulkarni<br />
This film is an action drama<br />
and we obviously needed<br />
some very fine actors to be a<br />
part of this film. So I guess all<br />
these people kind of elevated<br />
this film far from what it was<br />
on paper and they were very<br />
instrumental in getting it better<br />
and better<br />
How was the journey from<br />
shooting for Baahubali 2 to<br />
The Ghazi Attack at the same<br />
time?<br />
It emotionally and physically<br />
takes away… they are two<br />
very different films, nothing is<br />
same. It’s like when you want<br />
to do too many different films,<br />
you have to push yourself.<br />
Jumping from one character<br />
to other was a tougher part.<br />
When you are doing a film<br />
like Ghazi, you are a very<br />
content person. You feel like<br />
you are recreating the history<br />
for the future generations to<br />
see.<br />
The success of films like<br />
Dangal, PINK, and Neerja<br />
have proved that audience<br />
prefers content oriented<br />
films? Is Indian Cinema<br />
changing and so are the<br />
choices of the audience over<br />
Box Office films?<br />
It’s ultimately Box Office<br />
numbers that will decide<br />
many things. It is important<br />
for the cinema to last. It<br />
won't last if the films will<br />
make no money but ya,<br />
time and again there has<br />
always been necessary<br />
to give the audience<br />
something far newer from<br />
what they have seen before.<br />
I think it’s a great time in<br />
the country; there are all<br />
kinds of filmmakers. So the<br />
combination of all these is<br />
probably a great foot for the<br />
progress.<br />
What people should expect<br />
from Baahubali 2 this time?<br />
Big, stronger, far far better<br />
than what people have seen<br />
in the earlier part.<br />

Rangoon<br />
Fails to Stand Tall<br />
Super talented director Vishal Bharadwaj is known for his<br />
finest works for Indian cinema. Vishal Bhardwaj's period<br />
drama was one of the most-anticipated films of the year. But<br />
Rangoon did not receive the kind of love that the makers<br />
were expecting. Despite a fabulous cast including Kangana<br />
Ranaut, Saif Ali Khan and Shahid Kapoor, it has received a<br />
lukewarm response at the box office.<br />
Rangoon, which opened to Rs<br />
6 crore on Friday, went onto<br />
do mediocre business at the<br />
ticket window in its opening<br />
weekend. The film managed<br />
to earn only Rs 18.25 in the<br />
first three days of its release.<br />
While expectations were high<br />
that the film would pick up<br />
later, but that did not happen.<br />
Moreover, Rangoon failed<br />
to pass the Monday test by<br />
earning only Rs 1.97 crore,<br />
taking the total to Rs 20.22 on<br />
its Day 4.<br />
Rangoon, which released in<br />
around 1800 screens across<br />
the country, is a love triangle<br />
set against the backdrop of<br />
World War II. Rusi Billimoria<br />
(Saif Ali Khan) sends his<br />
ladylove Miss Julia (Kangana<br />
Ranaut) to the Indo-Burma<br />
border to entertain the troops.<br />
During her journey, she meets<br />
soldier Nawab Malik (Shahid<br />
Kapoor) and loses her heart<br />
to him.<br />
While the lead actors have<br />
been lauded for their strong<br />
performances, Rangoon has<br />
failed to create its magic at<br />
the ticket windows.<br />

OVER STORY
Ranaut was<br />
born on 23<br />
<strong>March</strong> 1986<br />
at Bhambla<br />
(now<br />
Surajpur), a<br />
small town<br />
in the Mandi<br />
district of<br />
Himachal<br />
Pradesh,<br />
into a Rajput<br />
family.<br />
She is the recipient of<br />
several awards, including<br />
three National Film Awards<br />
and Filmfare Awards in four<br />
categories.<br />
Ranaut was born on 23<br />
<strong>March</strong> 1986 at Bhambla (now<br />
Surajpur), a small town in the<br />
Mandi district of Himachal<br />
Pradesh, into a Rajput family.<br />
Her mother, Asha Ranaut,<br />
is a school teacher, and her<br />
father, Amardeep Ranaut,<br />
is a businessman. She has<br />
an elder sister, Rangoli,<br />
who as of 2014 works as<br />
her manager and a younger<br />
brother, Akshat. Her greatgrandfather,<br />
Sarju Singh<br />
Ranaut, was a Member of the<br />
Legislative Assembly and her<br />
grandfather was an officer<br />
for the Indian Administrative<br />
Service. She grew up in a<br />
joint family at their ancestral<br />
haveli (mansion) in Bhambla,<br />
and described her childhood<br />
as "simple and happy".<br />
Born in Bhambla, a small<br />
town in Himachal Pradesh,<br />
Ranaut initially aspired to<br />
become a doctor at the<br />
insistence of her parents.<br />
Determined to build her own<br />
career path, she relocated to<br />
Delhi at age sixteen, where<br />
she briefly became a model.<br />
After training under the<br />
theatre director Arvind Gaur,<br />
Ranaut made her feature<br />
film debut in the 2006 thriller<br />
Gangster, for which she was<br />
awarded the Filmfare Award<br />
for Best Female Debut. She<br />
received praise for portraying<br />
emotionally intense<br />
characters in the dramas<br />
Woh Lamhe (2006), Life in<br />

though she was criticized for<br />
being typecast in neurotic<br />
roles. A comic role opposite<br />
R. Madhavan in the 2011<br />
box office hit Tanu Weds<br />
Manu was well-received,<br />
though this was followed by<br />
a series of brief, glamorous<br />
roles in films that failed to<br />
propel her career forward.<br />
She then played a mutant<br />
opposite Hrithik Roshan in<br />
the science fiction film Krrish<br />
3 (2013), one of the highestgrossing<br />
Bollywood films,<br />
and won the Filmfare and<br />
National Film Award for Best<br />
Actress for her performance<br />
in the comedy-drama Queen<br />
(2014). In 2015, Ranaut<br />
portrayed a dual role in Tanu<br />
Weds Manu Returns, the<br />
most successful Bollywood<br />
film featuring a female<br />
protagonist, for which she<br />
won a Filmfare Critics Award<br />
and a second consecutive<br />
National Film Award for Best<br />
Actress.<br />
Kangana Ranaut has been<br />
signing meaningful and<br />
bold roles in her career.<br />
Her latest movie Rangoon<br />

Saif Ali Khan<br />
25 GLORIOUS YEARS<br />
AS AN ACTOR<br />
Saif Ali Khan is an Indian film actor and<br />
producer. The son of actress Sharmila Tagore<br />
and the late cricketer Mansoor Ali Khan<br />
Pataudi, Khan made his acting debut in Yash<br />
Chopra's unsuccessful drama Parampara<br />
(1993), but achieved success with his roles in<br />
the romantic drama Yeh Dillagi and the action<br />
film Main Khiladi Tu Anari (both 1994).<br />

ELEBRITY<br />
OF THE MONTH<br />
Khan's career prospect<br />
declined through much of<br />
the 1990s, and his biggest<br />
commercial success of<br />
the decade came with the<br />
ensemble drama Hum<br />
Saath-Saath Hain (1999).<br />
He rose to prominence<br />
with roles in two ensemble<br />
comedy-dramas—Dil<br />
Chahta Hai (2001) and Kal<br />
Ho Naa Ho (2003).<br />
The 2004 romantic comedy<br />
Hum Tum proved to be<br />
Khan's first success in which<br />
he played the sole male lead,<br />
earning him the National Film<br />
Award for Best Actor, and<br />
104
Khan is the recipient of several accolades,<br />
including a National Film Award and six<br />
Filmfare Awards, and received the Padma<br />
Shri, the fourth highest Indian civilian<br />
award, in 2010.<br />
starring roles in the drama<br />
Parineeta and the romantic<br />
comedy Salaam Namaste<br />
(both 2005) established<br />
him as a leading actor<br />
in Bollywood. He went<br />
on to earn wide critical<br />
praise for his portrayal of<br />
an apprentice in the 2006<br />
English film Being Cyrus, a<br />
character based on William<br />
Shakespeare's antagonist<br />
Iago in the 2006 crime film<br />
Omkara and a terrorist in<br />
the 2009 thriller Kurbaan.<br />
Khan's greatest commercial<br />
success came with the 2008<br />
thriller Race and its 2013<br />
sequel, the 2009 romance<br />
Love Aaj Kal, and the 2012<br />
romantic comedy Cocktail.<br />
Khan is the recipient of<br />
several accolades, including<br />
a National Film Award and<br />
six Filmfare Awards, and<br />
received the Padma Shri,<br />
the fourth highest Indian<br />
civilian award, in 2010.[2]<br />
He has been noted for his<br />
performances in a range<br />
of film genres—from crime<br />
dramas to thrillers and<br />
occasional romances—and<br />
his film roles have been<br />
credited with contributing<br />
to a change in the concept<br />
of a Hindi film hero. Khan<br />
was married to his first wife,<br />
Amrita Singh, for thirteen<br />
years, after which he married<br />
the actress Kareena Kapoor.<br />
He has three children—two<br />
with Singh and one with<br />
Kapoor. In addition to film<br />
acting, Khan is a frequent<br />
television presenter, stage<br />
show performer and the<br />
owner of the production<br />
company Illuminati Films.<br />
The actor has been waiting<br />
for a massive commercial<br />
hit from some time and he<br />
is back with his latest outing<br />
titled Rangoon. Vishal<br />
Bharadwaj directed the<br />
movie and Saif Ali Khan,<br />
Shahid Kapoor, Kangana<br />
Ranaut essayed the lead<br />
roles. The movie is said to<br />
be an epic love story set<br />
during the second world<br />
war and the movie too failed<br />
to impress the audience.<br />
Saif completed 25 years as<br />
an actor recently and he is<br />
said to host a lavish party<br />
soon for his close friends<br />
and Bollywood circles. The<br />
actor is even occupied with<br />
back to back films in his<br />

Chowk and<br />
later he moved<br />
to Mumbai<br />
where he lived<br />
in Koliwada,<br />
a Punjabi<br />
dominated<br />
area.<br />
He has been nominated for<br />
Filmfare Awards several<br />
times, winning it two times.<br />
When he began his acting<br />

(1996), Jaanwar (1999).<br />
Kumar was born in Amritsar,<br />
India to Hari Om Bhatia and<br />
Aruna Bhatia. His father<br />
was a military officer. From<br />
a young age, Kumar was<br />
recognised as a performer,<br />
particularly as a dancer. He<br />
lived and grew up in Delhi's<br />
Chandni Chowk and later<br />
he moved to Mumbai where<br />
he lived in Koliwada, a<br />
Punjabi dominated area. He<br />
received his school education<br />
from Don Bosco School<br />
and enrolled in Mumbai's<br />
Guru Nanak Khalsa College<br />
for higher education, but<br />
dropped out after an year<br />
and went to Bangkok to learn<br />
martial arts. Kumar also has<br />
a sister, Alka Bhatia. When<br />
Kumar was a teenager,<br />
his father asked him what<br />
he aspired to be. Kumar<br />
expressed his desire to<br />
become an actor.<br />
After having obtained a black<br />
belt in Taekwondo while<br />
in India, he studied martial<br />
arts in Bangkok, Thailand,<br />
where he learned Muay Thai<br />
and worked as a chef and<br />
waiter. Upon his return to<br />
Mumbai, he commenced the<br />
teaching of martial arts. One<br />
of his students, an aspiring<br />
photographer, recommended<br />
Kumar into modelling<br />
which ultimately led to a<br />
modelling assignment. Kumar<br />
effectively made more money<br />
within the first two days of<br />
shooting, in comparison to<br />
his entire months salary, and<br />
therefore chose a modelling<br />
career path. He worked as<br />
an assistant for photographer<br />
Jayesh Sheth for 18 months<br />
without payment to shoot<br />
his first portfolio. He also<br />
worked as a background<br />
dancer in various films. One<br />
morning, he missed his flight<br />
for an ad-shoot in Bangalore.<br />
Disappointed with himself,<br />
he visited a film studio<br />
along with his portfolio. That<br />
evening, Kumar was signed<br />
for a lead role by producer<br />
Pramod Chakravarthy for the<br />
movie Deedar.<br />
Apart from acting, Kumar has<br />
also worked as a stunt actor;<br />
he has often performed<br />
many dangerous stunts in<br />
his films, which has earned<br />
him the sobriquet "Indian<br />
Jackie Chan". In 2008,<br />
he hosted the show Fear<br />
Factor – Khatron Ke Khiladi.<br />
The next year, he founded<br />
the Hari Om Entertainment<br />
production company. In<br />

Windsor conferred an<br />
Honorary Doctorate on<br />
Kumar in recognition of<br />
his contribution to Indian<br />

Shri by the Government<br />
of India. In 2011, The<br />

realty show Dare 2 Dance.<br />

Star Gazing<br />
ARIES<br />
Your ability to take the lead and push through obstacles is thwarted this month by<br />
numerous responsibilities. This can cause frustration and irritability. For you, the month<br />
begins with one foot on the brake and one foot on the gas pedal. By the Spring Equinox, all<br />
stops are resolved and you can exuberantly express your passion to manifest a new reality.<br />
However, be aware of important communications taking place three days on either side of the<br />
Full Moon.<br />
TAURUS<br />
You like to be comfortable, and this<br />
dynamic trend of transformation<br />
may unsettle your senses. Cultivate<br />
present moment awareness, and you can<br />
be a strong anchor in the winds of change.<br />
There is a focus on career this month. New<br />
projects may be in the visionary stages.<br />
You are given the blueprint, the big picture,<br />
for long term projects. Your talent to build,<br />
stabilize and beautify will be called upon as<br />
the year unfolds.<br />
GEMINI<br />
Finances may be an area of delay<br />
and frustration, but you are in a<br />
position to resolve these issues as<br />
the month unfolds. Your easy-going<br />
and personable style can go a long way in<br />
career developments. Exciting possibilities in<br />
this area can be tapped through your strong<br />
communication skills. Slowing down to connect<br />
with another person’s perspective brings out<br />
new direction for both of you.<br />
CANCER<br />
You are in the home stretch of a two<br />
year challenge. Don’t quit! Assess<br />
your direction, implement decisions<br />
and find solace in contemplation. Especially<br />
curb frustration <strong>March</strong> 6 -9. Release what is<br />
not worth keeping. Yes, the Sun will come<br />
out from behind that dark cloud by the mid-<br />
Summer. Use the New Moon on <strong>March</strong> 10 to<br />
activate your strong intuitive skills, and plant<br />
new seeds of creation. Your hard work in<br />
providing security for others will pay off in the<br />
long run.<br />
LEO<br />
Your relationships are up for healing<br />
this month Leo. Your ability to take<br />
charge is hampered by hidden<br />
motives. Valuable insight comes<br />
as a result of looking beneath the surface<br />
of things. You are in a better position to<br />
determine the truth. Remember, “All that<br />
glitters is not gold.” Listen, truly listen, to the<br />
heart of another, and your lion-hearted nature<br />
will light the way for others to be more of who<br />
they are.<br />
158
VIRGO<br />
Your no nonsense approach to life is thrown for a loop. People come out of nowhere,<br />
requesting your services, and diverting attention to their needs. Although this month<br />
is a balancing act for you, there is much to learn and receive in the reflection of another’s life.<br />
There is a tendency to over-commit, and work may stand in the way of social engagements.<br />
Keeping all in perspective, this month takes you out of the doldrums into a larger range of<br />
activity. It is possible to develop alliances of appreciation, respect and support.<br />
LIBRA<br />
You are running in different directions<br />
this month trying to keep your world<br />
in balance. If you only focus on<br />
keeping other’s happy, you may miss the gifts<br />
of personal growth. This year brings benefit<br />
in new contacts and alliances. Your natural<br />
social grace is enhanced in work and play.<br />
Developments in the work arena are new and<br />
exciting. It is important to know where you<br />
really stand. Honesty begins with self.<br />
SCORPIO<br />
Your home brings great comfort<br />
this month. Creative juices are<br />
flowing. Children benefit from<br />
your deep sensitivity and intuition. This<br />
is the month to dream, play and explore<br />
your capacity for intimacy. Holding onto<br />
resentment does not get you where you want<br />
to go. Stagnation gives way to movement and<br />
relief. Important communications take place.<br />
SAGITTARIUS<br />
Your gypsy days are over, at least<br />
until Spring Equinox. Problems<br />
revealed November – January<br />
are finally resolving. Reflexing back<br />
into repetitive and habitual behavior<br />
leads nowhere. The powerful trend of<br />
transformation is re-making you from the<br />
inside out. Truly, you are beginning to see<br />
the light at the end of the tunnel. Take some<br />
time to retreat into the inner sanctuary of<br />
your spiritual home.<br />
CAPRICORN<br />
Everyone deserves a break now and<br />
then. The only problem, Capricorn, is<br />
you may continue to run the treadmill.<br />
If so, you can miss the opportunity for sweet<br />
reflection that leads to a new view of your<br />
life path. Avoid the temptation to be negative<br />
during the first ten days of <strong>March</strong>. Know<br />
there is a deep river of creativity within you.<br />
Ideas flow like water, and nourish the seeds<br />
of new projects.<br />
AQUARIUS<br />
You are on a roll Aquarius. Despite<br />
conservative trends, you are in the<br />
right place at the right time. Trust<br />
your vision for a humane future. Your global<br />
perspective is enhanced by strong intuitive<br />
energies. But, resist the temptation to save<br />
others. Peace really does begin with you.<br />
Genuinely love yourself, and you are free to<br />
sow seeds of compassion in your world.<br />
PISCES<br />
Happy Birthday Pisces! With Uranus<br />
in your Sun Sign for the next seven<br />
years, creative juices are flowing.<br />
This is the month to recognize your<br />
dreams and let them unfold in new directions.<br />
Be on your toes, and open to positive surprises.<br />
Universal guidance is very strong, and at your<br />
fingertips. In order to receive, activate your<br />
Divine gift of receptivity. This is the month to<br />
illuminate ideals, hold them to your heart, and<br />
don’t let present reality get you down.<br />
