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 />

out commercial mass entertainer.<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 />

three months<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 />

Indian cinema.<br />

The Macho Man<br />

of Indian Cinema<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 />

received praise for portraying<br />

emotionally intense<br />

characters in the dramas<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 />

career currently and is even<br />

He lived and<br />

grew up in<br />

Delhi's Chandni<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 />

career in the 1990s, he<br />

primarily starred in action<br />

films and was known for his<br />

appearances in films of the<br />

"Khiladi series" as well as<br />

other action films such as<br />

Waqt Hamara Hai (1993),<br />

Mohra (1994), Elaan (1994),<br />

Suhaag (1994), Sapoot<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 />

2008, the University of<br />

Windsor conferred an<br />

Honorary Doctorate on<br />

Kumar in recognition of<br />

his contribution to Indian<br />

cinema. The following year<br />

he was awarded the Padma<br />

Shri by the Government<br />

of India. In 2011, The<br />

Asian Awards honoured<br />

Kumar for his outstanding<br />

achievement in Cinema. In<br />

2012, he founded another<br />

production company called<br />

Grazing Goat Pictures. In<br />

2014, Kumar launched TV<br />

realty show Dare 2 Dance.<br />

He also owns the team<br />

Khalsa Warriors in the World<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 />
