THEATRICAL<br />
TRAILER REVIEW<br />
Ace Director SS Rajamouli has become<br />
the pride of Telugu cinema and his<br />
movies have done exceptionally well<br />
in the nieghbouring languages in the<br />
recent years which made him widely<br />
popular among the film circles. After<br />
scoring back to back stupendous<br />
hits at the box-office, he has now<br />
focused on his magnum opus<br />
titled Baahubali which did not<br />
have any barriers in terms<br />
of budget.<br />
Baahubali has been under shoot for over two years and it has been made on a<br />
whopping budget of over Rs 180 crores. Though Telugu cinema business has been<br />
limited to 70 – 80 crores, this veteran filmmaker has taken to make the movie so<br />
that it will be released in multiple languages to recover the investments. Prabhas,<br />
Anushka, Rana and Tamannah played the leads in the movie and the theatrical trailer<br />
of the movie has been screened today in selected theatres all over AP and Telangana.<br />
Here is an exclusive review on the trailer:<br />

An epic should have stunning visuals and the movie should take us to a new world which we have never seen<br />
but we heard of. Indian audience always remind of Hollywood flicks when it comes to periodic dramas involving<br />
extensive graphic work. Many directors and filmmakers tried their luck on epics in many Indian languages but<br />
most of them ended up as debacles at the ticket window. However this will not happen with Baahubali and the<br />
trailer speaks it all. The 2:05 minutes trailer will take you to a new world which can be never dreamt. My hands<br />
started shivering and heart stopped beating for 125 seconds.A terrific trailer with stunning visuals, beautiful<br />
locales, jaw dropping action episodes and heart breaking performances. The re-recording has been outstanding<br />
and the cinematography has been visually stupendous. How much be the expectations, Baahuabli : The Beginning<br />
trailer will sure meet and live up the expectations. Proud that SS Rajamouil is a part of Indian Cinema and<br />
especially Telugu cinema...The trailer will hit the social media at 5 PM. Don’t miss it. It’s a must watch.The Era of<br />
Baahubali ahead. One of the best trailers.<br />

THE<br />

CINEMA<br />
GEST<br />
ON INDIAN<br />
CELLULOID<br />
NEMA<br />
Indian Cinema has witnessed<br />
drastic changes in the past few<br />
years in all the departments.<br />
The market of Indian cinema has<br />
crossed the boundaries and the<br />
films with stuff have minted huge<br />
INDIAN<br />
money in many International<br />
markets where language is a<br />
barrier. Some of the South Indian<br />
movies have even been competing<br />
with the vast Bollywood movies<br />
which fetched positive results. Now<br />
LLULOID<br />
maverick filmmaker SS Rajamouli<br />
who got national recognition with<br />
his movies is coming up with a<br />
periodic drama titled Baahubali.<br />
21
coverSTORY<br />
22
The movie has been shot for over 2 years and<br />
the budget of the movie has been huge for<br />
a South Indian film. Sources say that the<br />
makers have spent around Rs 200 crores<br />
on the movie which has been shot simultaneously in<br />
Telugu, Hindi, Tamil and Malayalam languages. SS<br />
Rajamouli has worked out on the movie for over six<br />
years which may sound strange but this passionate<br />
filmmaker has even bigger dreams to show Baahubali<br />
as a film with International standards.<br />
At just 41 years, Rajamouli is one of the few<br />
directors stars call up to ask if he has a role for them.<br />
Producers offered him Rs 10 crore in fees way back<br />
in 2010. In an industry where movies are completely<br />
star-oriented, Rajamouli has changed the formula by<br />
never sticking to a formula.<br />
W<br />
hen Eega was being made, his detractors would<br />
snigger, “How can a fly be a hero?” But when<br />
Eega broke records, the same producers watched<br />
with green-eyed envy. Rajamouli has consistently<br />
denied copying Eega from the Australian short film<br />
Cockroach, but even if he did, the emotions in the fly<br />
seemed so human viewers forgave him.<br />
23
coverSTORY<br />
“BAAHUBALI IS LIKE<br />
AN AVENGERS OR<br />
GAME OF THRONES,<br />
WHERE THE VIEWER<br />
WOULD BE MORE<br />
INVOLVED IN THE<br />
FILM RATHER THAN<br />
THE STARS,” promises<br />
Shobu. About a decade<br />
ago, Rajamouli told this<br />
correspondent, “I WANT TO<br />
MAKE A MOVIE LIKE<br />
BRAVEHEART, WHICH<br />

LOVE, PATRIOTISM,<br />
EMOTIONS, ACTION.”<br />
Indeed, he appears close to<br />
fulfilling this ambition with the<br />
multilingual Baahubali, which<br />
might just be India’s answer to<br />
Hollywood’s big-budget, bigemotion<br />
sagas.<br />
The theatrical trailer of the film<br />
has been released recently<br />
and it has been receiving<br />
exceptional response from the<br />
film circles and movie lovers.<br />
The expectations have reached<br />
the borders and the destructive<br />
trailer made the film dream even<br />
bigger. Even the most popular<br />
film celebrities of Bollywood have<br />
been taking their time to praise<br />
SS Rajamouli and his work for<br />
Baahubali.<br />

Bhatia will be seen in the other lead roles.<br />
Nassar, Satyaraj, Sudeep, Adivi Sesh and Ramya<br />
Krishna will be seen in other prominent roles in the<br />
movie. MM Kreem is composing the music along<br />
with the background score. KK Senthil Kumar is the<br />
cinematographer and Sabu Cyril is the art director.<br />
Peter Hein composed the action sequences and<br />
Shobu Yarlagadda, Prasad Devineni are producing<br />
the film on Arka Media Works banner.<br />
Bollywood’s promising filmmaker Karan Johar has<br />
bagged the theatrical rights of the movie for Hindi<br />
and he will release the movie all over in Hindi through<br />
his Dharma Productions banner. The movie has<br />
done a terrific pre release business all over in all the<br />
languages and it is in final stages of post production.<br />
Baahubali will complete all the formalities and will<br />
release all over on July 10th. The makers along<br />
with the team are quite confident on the film and<br />
Baahubali is getting ready to entertain the audience<br />
with wonderful visuals. Hope the film will live up the<br />
expectations and end up as history in Indian Cinema.<br />

B Baahubali<br />
Last week, the good people of Arka Media Works invited me down to Hyderabad in South<br />
India, the home of Telugu Cinema, to visit Ramoji Film City and the set of their longawaited<br />
medieval epic, Baahubali.<br />
Take A Peek At The Set Of<br />
S.S. RAJAMOULI’S Medieval<br />
Epic BAAHUBALI<br />
The film, which stars “Young Rebel” Prabhas, Anushka Shetty and Rana Daggubati, is<br />
directed by S.S. Rajamouli, who should be well-known around these parts as the man<br />
responsible for the epic fly action spectacular Eega, which took audiences around the<br />
world by storm a couple of years ago.<br />
Set to be released in two parts, and being filmed simultaneously in both Telugu and Tamil,<br />
Baahubali is set to be the most expensive Indian movie ever made, but anticipation for its<br />
release is so great it is almost guaranteed to be a monster hit. The first part, Baahubali:<br />
The Beginning, will be unleashed on audiences across India and NRI strongholds in July,<br />
with the second half likely to be released in the first half of 2016.<br />

gathered during my trip,<br />
including an interview<br />

as well as other key<br />

Firstly, however, I just<br />
wanted to give you a<br />
little look at one of the<br />
major sets for the film<br />

10 QUOTES ABOUT<br />
SS RAJAMOULI THAT PROVE HE IS<br />
“THE CAPTAIN” OF TFI!<br />
We normally see this kind of structure and this kind of action<br />
or whatever the framework is in some of the more progressive<br />
Hollywood films but to have to see this here in India is amazing.<br />
I should have been in this project.<br />
- AMITABH BACHCHAN<br />
We cannot make movies like Baahubali here in Bollywood because,<br />
we don’t have Rajamouli.<br />
- KARAN JOHAR<br />
I am really looking forward to Rajamouli’s new film Baahubali. Its<br />
very huge and looks very exciting.<br />
- ABHISHEK BACHCHAN<br />
He is a very talented person. I would work with him if I get a chance.<br />
- AAMIR KHAN<br />
28
Just because of the quality’M of film we decided to dub it as<br />
`IVIakkhir. The pace and the way he has made it is just mind<br />
blowing.<br />
- AJAY DEVGAN<br />
Charan ane Shilpa Anni Chek kind di mana Amara Shilpi Jakkanna<br />
Rajamouli. Thanaki unna talent motthanni ee okka cinemalo<br />
chupinchadu mana Rajamouli<br />
- CHIRANJEEVI<br />
When he did Magadheera, I congratulated him as a proud Telugaite<br />
and a proud Indian.<br />
- PAWAN KALYAN<br />
The only mistake I have done is, I missed an opportunity to work with<br />
Rajamouli sir.<br />
-SURYA<br />
Among the current star directors, Rajamouli garu is the only one who<br />
is breaking boundaries. Be it Maryada Ramanna or Eega he can<br />
handle any kind of film. That’s what you call a director.<br />
- NAGARJUNA<br />
Rajamouli is going to be No.1 in India. If I get opportunity I will<br />
definitely work in his picture.<br />

Charmee Kaur is a<br />
known name to every<br />
South Indian film lover<br />
as she has impressed<br />
the audience with<br />
her performance and<br />
the movies she has chosen. She has<br />
introduced woman centric films to South<br />
Indian cinema in this generation with<br />
Mantra which was a stupendous boxoffice<br />
hit.<br />
The movie has received<br />
good response all over and<br />
is running successfully.<br />
Charmee revealed that she<br />
will continue to do typical<br />
characters in her career<br />
and she will not leave<br />
acting.<br />
She has done glamorous, traditional and<br />
roles which needed performance in her<br />
career. After scoring back to back hits<br />
in her career, she has received tough<br />
competition from the young actresses<br />
and this is the time Charmee has taken<br />
as a challenge to bounce back with a<br />
right film.<br />
She has signed Jyothi Lakshmi in the direction of Super<br />
Talented Puri Jagannadh and the movie explained the<br />
life story of an item girl. She has done a terrific job and<br />
her performance in the movie has been appreciated.<br />
Various NGOs and Voluntary organizations that<br />
support women have praised the work of Charmee<br />
in the film. She has been specially felicitated in Film<br />

Exclusive Interview<br />
I AM A STRUGGLER<br />
After scoring the biggest hit of the year with Tanu Weds Manu Retursn,<br />
Kangana is now a relaxed girl. She has been blown with offers however<br />
she has been quite carefull with her future projects as she has been<br />
named as the Female Khan of Bollywood. Here is an exclusive interview<br />
of her along with the excerpts of her movies:<br />
34<br />
Kangana<br />
Ranaut<br />
GANGSTER (2006)<br />
I’m proud of my<br />
performance but<br />
disappointed with the<br />
reaction I got because<br />
I think it was a much<br />
better performance<br />
than Queen. The film<br />
clicked and suddenly I<br />
was on every brilliant<br />
director’s “favourite<br />
actress” list. But not a<br />
single one signed me. It<br />
was a lonely battle, me<br />
against the world.<br />
FASHION (2008) After<br />
Gangster, I was confused.<br />
My talent wasn’t helping<br />
me get work. I did some<br />
bad films just to remain<br />
visible. Life In A... Metro<br />
wasn’t ‘my’ film, nor was<br />
Fashion though I slogged<br />
really hard. After<br />
Fashion, people thought<br />
I was a dopehead and<br />
that was not a good<br />
feeling (Laughs). My<br />
biggest apprehension<br />
was whether I’d be able<br />
to convey the complexity<br />
of Shonali in the 15<br />
minutes that I had. And<br />
boom there comes a<br />
National Award!<br />
ONCE UPON A TIME<br />
IN MUMBAAI (2010)<br />
I worked very hard<br />
although I had very<br />
little screen-time in a<br />
male-centric film. Milan<br />
(director Milan Luthria)<br />
really helped me with<br />
the character. In the<br />
second half, we had to<br />
establish the fact that<br />
Ajay Devgn’s character<br />
gives up everything for
this girl. Is she worth<br />
it? Through my look,<br />
expressions and limited<br />
lines, I had to convey the<br />
passion that she feels<br />
for this man.<br />
TANU WEDS MANU<br />
(2011) The phone was<br />
ringing but not with<br />
great offers. Milan<br />
(Luthria) offered me The<br />
Dirty Picture but how<br />
many times could I play<br />
‘the girl on the verge of<br />
a nervous breakdown’.<br />
Anand Rai noticed me in<br />
OUATIM in a romantic<br />
role and offered me<br />
Tanu... . The film changed<br />
the game for me. Vikas<br />
Bahl was convinced I<br />
could play Rani after<br />
watching Tanu...<br />
QUEEN (2014) I was<br />
confused about why<br />
(director) Vikas wanted<br />
me for Rani. I’d played<br />
a supermodel (Fashion)<br />
and a superwoman<br />
(Krissh 3), how could I<br />
be Rani? I don’t think it’s<br />
a great performance. It’s<br />
the supporting cast that<br />
elevates it. Rajkummar<br />
Rao’s arrogance makes<br />
Rani more vulnerable<br />
while Lisa Haydon’s<br />
liberated ways made her<br />
appear caged. There are<br />
films you do justice to<br />
and then there are films<br />
that do justice to your<br />
talent. Queen proved<br />
that the century-long<br />
struggle paid off!<br />
TANU WEDS MANU<br />
RETURNS (<strong>2015</strong>) I<br />
am quite comfortable<br />
with Anand L Rai after<br />
Tanu Weds Manu<br />
which brought me wide<br />
recognition. I should<br />
indeed thank him for<br />
choosing me for the<br />
project. The excitement<br />
has doubled for the<br />
sequel after I had a small<br />
look up on the script<br />
of the film. I felt it is<br />
going to be big but the<br />
result was huge. I should<br />
thank the audience for<br />
such overwhelming<br />
love and support. Tanu<br />
Weds Manu Returns<br />
success has doubled my<br />
responsibilities as an<br />
actress.<br />
K<br />
angana<br />
has been<br />
choosy<br />
with her movies<br />
and her recent<br />
movie Tanu<br />
Weds Manu<br />
Returns crossed<br />
Rs 150 crore<br />
mark in Indian<br />
market which<br />
is a record for a<br />
woman centric<br />
film. She has<br />
been simply<br />
superb in the<br />
movie.<br />

Sharma is very upset about it as<br />
Ranbir Kapoor has got his full<br />
remuneration while Anushka is<br />
still waiting for it.<br />
Talking about the issue, a source<br />
told Bollywood Hungama,<br />
“Why will Fox be responsible<br />
for clearing her dues? It was<br />
Phantom Films and Anurag who<br />
signed her for the film and it is<br />
they who will have to pay her<br />
for it.”<br />

wanted to know about the<br />
little girl who was seen lost<br />
at the railway station. But<br />
both Salman Khan and Kabir<br />
Khan wants to keep Harshaali<br />
Malhotra away from the<br />
promotions as the marketing<br />
strategy. Not many people<br />
know that before Bajrangi<br />
Bhaijaan, Harshaali Malhotra<br />
played the daughter of<br />
Bhagyashree in serial Laut Aao<br />
Trisha. Talking about Harshaali’s<br />
absence form Bajrangi<br />
Bhaijaan’s promotions, a source<br />
told Mid Day, ‘‘Harshaali’s role<br />

Pawan Kalyan will join the shoot<br />

chuck all the reports and hopes<br />

He called it as a good sign to<br />

“It is not the time to compete<br />
since If any thing goes wrong<br />

:::::ANALYSIS:::::<br />
The first half of the movie has<br />
been interesting and the narration<br />
has been decent. The multiplex<br />
audience will be completely<br />
pleased with the presentation of<br />
the film. The performance by the<br />
lead actors has been magical and<br />
the complete first half has been<br />
decent with loads of entertainment<br />
which makes the film racy.<br />
The second half of the movie<br />
has many flaws which irritate<br />
the audience but they have<br />
been rectified again at times.<br />
Unfortunately the second half of<br />
the film is really not up to the mark.<br />
It is a bit disappointing.<br />
:::::PERFORMANCE:::::<br />
Anil Kapoor has been decent as<br />
a responsible father and Shefali<br />
Shah provided good support. The<br />
two huge saving graces of the film<br />
are Ranveer Singh and Priyanka<br />
Chopra. Ranveer’s amazing<br />
punch lines and dialogue delivery<br />
calls in for an applaud for sure.<br />
His liveliness never lets us down.<br />
Priyanka on the other hand plays<br />
a unhappily married business<br />
woman with perfection. Anushka<br />
Sharma has been decent and<br />
Farhan Akhtar once again proved<br />
that he is a versatile actor. The<br />
other actors have delivered out<br />
their best.<br />
The story of the movie is nothing<br />
strong but thin. The screenplay<br />
and the narration have been<br />
completely written targeting<br />
the urban audience. The<br />
cinematography, styling and the<br />
locations have been fantastic. The<br />
film has been shot in rich locations.<br />
The music has been decent and<br />
the background score has been<br />
elevating. The production values<br />
have been grand enough and<br />
the director has been decent<br />
in showcasing the story of a<br />
millionaire.<br />
:::::FINAL WORD:::::<br />
Dil Dhadakne Do is sure a delight<br />
for urban audience except some<br />
flaws in the second half . The<br />
leads performance and the grand<br />
narration makes the film a decent<br />
watch.<br />

Every once in a while, there comes a film that claims to be<br />
the most expensive film in India. And now it’s Baahubali’s turn<br />
to make that claim. And rightly so. With an estimated budget<br />
of a whopping 250 crores, Baahubali has raised the bar for<br />
film production... by several crores. We take this opportunity<br />
to present to you a list of the most expensive films that have<br />
released in India till date. The amount of money spent is mindnumbing:<br />

131.5 crores could be peanuts for a film in <strong>2015</strong> but way back<br />

PRABHAS<br />
THE MOST ELIGIBLE BACHELOR<br />
Young Rebelstar Prabhas who has been introduced<br />
with the tag of Krishnam Raju’s son did not take much<br />
time to come out of it. He established his own image<br />
with his movies and emerged as one of the leading<br />
actors among the young generation of Tollywood. He<br />
is notable for his roles in Varsham, Chatrapathi, Billa,<br />
Mr Perfect and Mirchi. Prabhas started his movie<br />
career with Eshwar in 2002 which could not impress<br />
the audience. However he has received good response<br />
for his screen presence and the performance.<br />
78

STARmonth<br />
“<br />
Prabhas is one actor who has<br />
stunning screen presence and<br />
his mighty personality will leave<br />
everyone in surprise especially in<br />
action episodes.<br />
“<br />
He has done<br />
Raghavendra<br />
next, which<br />
ended as a<br />
commercial<br />
disaster.<br />
Then came<br />
Varsham<br />
which minted huge money and<br />
proved his stamina at the boxoffice.<br />
The movie minted Rs<br />
18 crores in its full run which<br />
happened to be huge. Prabhas<br />
could not make it big again post<br />
Varsham as most of his movies<br />
ended up as commercial disasters.<br />
Adavi Ramudu and Chakram<br />
are the films in the list. He then<br />
signed a film in the direction of<br />
SS Rajamouli titled Chatrapathi<br />
which created sensation all over.<br />
Prabhas was praised for his<br />
ease in action sequences. Critics<br />
noted that there is a unique style<br />
and macho charm in his screen<br />
presence.<br />
Later he acted in Pournami’ ‘Yogi<br />
and Munna, an action-drama film<br />
came out in 2007, followed by the<br />
action-comedyBujjigadu in 2008.<br />
In 2009 his two films were Billa<br />
and Ek Niranjan. Billa is a remake<br />
of the 2007 Tamil film of the same<br />
name. It also drew inspirations<br />
from the NTR-starring Telugu<br />
film, Yugandhar (1979) which<br />
drew inspirations from Amitabh<br />
Bachchan’s Hindi film titled Don<br />
and one of Rajinikanth’s 1980<br />
Tamil film with the same title. The<br />
80<br />
film was commended being stylish<br />
and visually rich.<br />
n 2010 he appeared in the romantic<br />
comedy Darling and in 2011, Mr.<br />
Perfect, another romantic comedy.<br />
In 2012, Prabhas starred in Rebel,<br />
an action film directed by Raghava<br />
Lawrence. His next film was<br />
Mirchi opposite Anushka Shetty<br />
and Richa Gangopadhyay. Mirchi<br />
opened strong and collected a nett<br />
gross of about ₹50 crore (US$7.9<br />
million) in 100 days. Prabhas<br />
became the 5th tollywood hero to<br />
enter the 40cr club with this film.<br />
He gave a friendly appearance<br />
in the Hindi film Action Jackson<br />
directed by Prabhudeva, dancing<br />
opposite Sonakshi Sinha. He also<br />
rendered voice for a short cameo<br />
for the filmDenikaina Ready.<br />
He is playing the title role in the<br />
period film Baahubali directed<br />
by SS Rajamouli, for which he<br />
has beefed up his personality,<br />
learnt horse riding to portray the<br />
character of a king. The movie<br />
trailer released on June 1 has<br />
received exceptional response.<br />
Baahubali is the costliest film<br />
made in the history of Indian<br />
cinema and Prabhas will be<br />
seen in two completely different<br />
roles. Rana Daggubati, Anushka<br />
and Tamannah played the other<br />
important leads in the movie.<br />
Baahubali has been slated for<br />
release all over on July 10th<br />
in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil and<br />
Malayalam languages. Hope the<br />
film will emerge as the biggest hit<br />
in the history of Indian cinema.
“<br />
The most eligible bachelor has<br />
been working for Baahubali from<br />
the past two years and will get<br />
married soon after the release<br />
of the film. His parents are<br />
currently in search for a beautiful<br />
and traditional girl.<br />

ARIES<br />
CANCER<br />
This whole month of July<br />
is exciting, the rhythm is<br />
fast, and you feel energized<br />
thanks to Jupiter and<br />
Uranus. Family matters can<br />
be tense, Mars brings some<br />
tension and nervousness<br />
in the relationships with<br />
your parents. If you think<br />
about vacationing with<br />
your parents, organize your<br />
schedule in a way you keep<br />
some independence and<br />
distance. If you want to meet<br />
somebody for love, your<br />
chances are higher until the<br />
18th as good coincidences<br />
can happen that makes it<br />
easy for you to connect with<br />
a new partner, long-term or<br />
summer relationship. If you<br />
are in a couple, you feel like<br />
partying until the 18th and<br />
then you take a calmer pace.<br />
GEMINI<br />
TAURUS<br />
You are focused on money:<br />
a raise motivates you<br />
to save money. Or you<br />
make projects that need<br />
more money than your<br />
regular budget can allow.<br />
You think about selling<br />
stuff on EBay, or saving<br />
on expenses that are not<br />
mandatory. You will be<br />
super smart at that, your<br />
projections for the future<br />
sound right and you will<br />
get rewards. Your parents<br />
are also happy to help.<br />
Some Taurus are about<br />
to move out, they found<br />
the home of their dreams,<br />
Venus and Jupiter help<br />
them to be lucky in that<br />
sector of their life. If you<br />
are in a couple, you enjoy<br />
quiet evenings together.<br />
No need for crazy night.<br />
Mercury, Mars and the Sun are in Cancer, be<br />
ready to be in an important phase of change<br />
in your life.Easy for you to make decisions as<br />
you know what you want in a very sharp way,<br />
no hesitation, no delay in the action. You are<br />
very good at negotiating with your boss for a<br />
new position. Some of you are looking for a<br />
job in a different company and their chances<br />
to find one are really good, so it is time to ask<br />
for appointments, as they will be successful<br />
interviews. Exercise as much as you feel or you<br />
will be nervous: swim, walk, run, Mars is pushing<br />
you until August 9th.<br />
LEO<br />
From July 1 to 19 Venus and Jupiter<br />
are in Leo and this conjunction<br />
brings great condition to meet a<br />
new love if you are single. And the<br />
story can be so perfect that you<br />
may not believe it is true. If you are<br />
in a couple, commitment is in the<br />
air, engagement, and wedding or<br />
simply decide to move in together.<br />
Mercury enters in Leo July 24, your<br />
brain is activated, ideas are boiling,<br />
and you are the first one to find the<br />
best places to go. You are inspired<br />
to write or make pictures of your<br />
vacations. You already try your best<br />
to be tanned, you love that color on<br />
your skin.<br />
Money is priority this month. You want to make sure that<br />
you have enough for a big project: moving out, remodeling<br />
your home or travelling. You count your money, examine your<br />
budget seriously, you don’t want to ask for help, either from<br />
your parents or your banker. You are invited by friends during<br />
the weekends and your planning is all full, even if you are on<br />
vacation, you keep receiving invitations from different people,<br />
new friends or old ones, you go from one place to another<br />
one. Love is romantic and you enjoy having fun together and<br />
you are really busy with the heavy social schedule. But you<br />
love that of course.<br />

VIRGO<br />
SAGITTARIUS<br />
Career is at the top of your priorities in June. You may be<br />
going through a period of tests, exams, or interviews and it is<br />
a good time for you. At the end, you will have some choices<br />
and different options, school or work, you will decide what you<br />
want. You have to know that Jupiter will enter in your sign in<br />
August and you will then enter in a very lucky period of your<br />
life. So be positive and don’t play things at a low level, take<br />
some risk and dare go to a higher level than what you think.<br />
Love is not what you want right now, if you are single, you are<br />
happy to be. Couples are doing ok, just very busy.<br />
Happy as can be, the Sagittarius lives a<br />
full life, friends and parties, having fun<br />
with friends from all over the planet. Your<br />
personality is expanding and you share<br />
your joy of life with everyone. People<br />
love you the way you are because you are<br />
so easy to be around. No complication,<br />
no drama, you are not like that. You just<br />
need your independence and do what<br />
you want, that’s all. So many invitations<br />
that are hard to decline. You are already<br />
thinking about the next trips you will<br />
organize after the one that will just<br />
happen soon.<br />

that you feel forced to keep, in<br />
the name of long-time friendship,<br />
or faithfulness, or pity or any<br />
bad reasons that keep you in the<br />
relationship. Why do you want<br />
to stay friend with an ex? For<br />
example, when it is over, it is over.<br />
A new friendship is influencing<br />
you positively and you listen to<br />
the good advice he or she gives<br />
you. Love can be so romantic that<br />
it is the only thing you can think<br />
about, especially if you start a new<br />
relationship. You go together on<br />
a trip even if you make up your<br />
mind last minute.<br />
LIBRA<br />
Your life is all about friend,<br />
socializing, going out, social<br />
Medias, popularity and<br />
personal branding. You know<br />
how to improve your look<br />
and to adapt it to any type<br />
of situation, sophisticated or<br />
sportswear, conservative or<br />
trendy…you always have the<br />
right accessories, the it-bag<br />
or the shoes that make you<br />
look unique. Mars is in Cancer<br />
in your professional sector<br />
is bringing some interesting<br />
proposition, an offer that<br />
needs some time to think<br />
about as you are satisfied<br />
already with what you have.<br />
Feel free to say no if you are<br />
not sure. Other opportunities<br />
may happen later anyway.<br />
CAPRICORN<br />
If you are in a couple, this is your<br />
priority, your loved one is your<br />
number one. July is a period where<br />
you want to spend all your time,<br />
vacation or not, with your lover. You<br />
are loving, flirtatious, aggressive,<br />
adorable, your mood swings<br />
unexpectedly but you still want to<br />
spend your time together. You are in<br />
a moment of deep transformation<br />
inside, you keep evolving, breaking<br />
inner limitations. Your personality is<br />
expanding and it is not always easy.<br />
Take breaks and relax, no need to stay<br />
under pressure, it is summer now, and<br />
the sun has a good influence on your<br />
health and also your mood.<br />
AQUARIUS<br />
PISCES<br />
Enter all of the sweepstakes and contests that you can on<br />
the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th, and sign up for free memberships,<br />
call in old debts, clip coupons - you deserve everything<br />
that comes your way, Aquarius dear, and you shouldn’t<br />
have to work for it! You’re a true inspiration to others<br />
on the 7th and 8th, especially young children. When you<br />
have the chance to be a mentor and shape young minds,<br />
you step up to the challenge big time. There’s some<br />
bizarre stuff happening on the 13th and 14th, mostly<br />
involving older relatives or someone from your past.<br />
Before you dismiss something as ‘unbelievable,’ look at<br />
all the facts. Stranger things have happened! Haven’t<br />
they?! You’re a great negotiator on the 25th and 26th,<br />
and your arguments are very balanced.<br />
You feel inspired at an artistic level, you want to create<br />
something beautiful and unique. Painting, drawing,<br />
making photos, your eyes are inspired by what is<br />
around you, flowers or beach, or sunsets, or people<br />
around you. You are also so romantic, so considerate<br />
with the one you love: attentions, notes, little gift,<br />
rubbing his or her back with sunscreen in a sensual<br />
way. Of course you expect the same in return, but<br />
you have to understand that not everybody is like<br />
you. Some signs like Virgos or Capricorns are more<br />
reserved, they try but they may not be as creative as<br />
you are.<br />
