It’s that time of year again, the time of year when it is acceptable to binge on Christmas films. “Home Alone” is one of the most popular movies from the early 90’s. Its success was phenomenal and it also made Macaulay Culkin a superstar.

The plot is quite original and surreal: a child who is home alone and capable of making the bandits’s lives miserable? Sure, it’s an impossible story, but who cares? ‘Home Alone’ has succeeded in establishing itself as a Christmas tradition, spawning off three sequels (including a made-for-television flop), and a whole franchise in and of it.

Watch on: www.youtube.com

Florida Even in December, most of Florida enjoys mild temperatures making the state ideal for a white Christmas comprised of sand and not snow. In addition to beach destinations, travelers can visit Walt Disney World, which is decked out in true, over-the-top Disney style. Another great reason to visit Florida is to literally visit Christmas, a little town near Orlando that has become a favorite place for people to mail out gifts with a unique postmark.

Gone are the days when Hyderabadis had to travel to other cities to experience happening and crazy events. Hyderabad has made all the right moves to become the sobriquet of nightlife and happening culture. The city of Nawabs is also now the city of pop culture, parties, concert, largest IT hubs etc. Way to go Hyderabad!

Over a Cappuccino with

MOURYA BODA A chairperson, managing director and full time mother and wife, Mourya Boda sat down with us and talked about her achievements, journey and how she prioritises family above all amidst massive success! A true woman in action, empowering every other woman out there.

What is a typical day like in your life?

My mornings are like a rush hour! The day starts with an hour of work out that I prefer to do in the morning as I don’t find time for it during the rest of the day. This is followed by rushing to send my son to school.

I, then, organize my things at home, finish off any pending work. But before heading out for work I always do my Pooja and only then leave.

What does it take to be successful in the field you excel in?

A lot of strategic implementations have to be taken based on the market changes. Stabilising and strengthening the product with new innovations and adding new vaccines into the basket. This of course if followed by a lot of hardwork and dedication.

How did FICCI happen?

When I joined my office we were associated with FICCI and I got to know that there is a wing called FLO. I went ahead and joined this wing and headed as chairperson for the YFLO chapter. It was a wonderful experience altogether.

How do you manage work and personal life?

Managing work and personal life is always a tough job there is no mantra for it. Since childhood, I have always seen my father manage his time extremely. So yes, this is an art I learnt from him. My family has also been ever supporting. Most importantly my son has always been a cooperative kid which made it a bit easier for me.

22 DECEMBER, 2019 TULIP

Tell us something about your usual day at work.

Hectic! My usual day at work is very busy and time just flies. Weekdays are packed with my meetings lined up. These are either marketing or finance or product development meetings. Then on a regular basis there are also visits to my factory to review our production and expansion works. Despite being chaotic, I love every bit of my job.

Tell us about a funny incident that happened with you recently.

This is an incident from one of our vacations in Greece. My son and I were shopping at a store and another shopper passing by reeted us saying- “How do you brother-sister duo like the shopping in Greece?” My son was so shocked listening to this that he couldn’t react for a second.

Later we broke into a fit of laughter. We also told the other shopper that he was actually my son, not brother. He was quite shocked too.

LIFESTYLE |

What is the proudest moment in your career?

My company has become one of the largest BSL 3 FMD manufacturing companies in the south East Asia. This indeed is a very proud moment for me. The entire journey from a single Veterinary product to one of the largest Vaccine Company is a proud journey of my career.

Where do you see yourself in the next 5 years?

I see our company as a one stop solution for all the Veterinary Health needs, from Vaccines to Medicines to feeding supplements. We also plan to expand ourselves into Human vaccines in the long run.

Personally, I see myself growing as a wife and mother and excelling in both things.

What do you do in your free time when you are not working?

I always make sure prioritise my family during my free time. I spend most of my time with my son. Sometimes, I also meet friends over a cup of coffee for some girl time.

Rapid Fire Three things u dont leave home without?

My bag, my cell and my lunch box.

Next holiday destination?

Spain Most recent fashion purchase?

One Love- Bar’bae’cue

The best bbq serving restaurants of the city

“I hope there’s food!” –is a common thought among most of us these days, when we’re invited to any special event. If you’d ask me, I’ll go anywhere as long as I’m served good food, and what’s better than a great barbecue served piping hot? People are lying if they say they don’t like barbecued food! It is the signature food for all foodies out there, regardless of the calories associated with it. The very sight of the slightly golden brown fish and perfectly marinated chicken, on the skewers, getting perfectly charred is enough to make your mouth water. Setting up a BBQ night at home is possible, but involves a lot of hard work, patience and manpower.

Fortunately, our city houses many restaurants offering buffet options as well as ala carte for barbecue. Here we have listed the best of the lot. Let’s dig in!

Absolute Barbecue

Does this place even need an introduction? It is the most famous joint for barbecue buffet in Hyderabad. The introduction of its wish grill, loved by all, caters cultured bunny, prawns, chicken sausages, squid, quail, egg frittata, peking duck and others. All you vegetarians fret not because they also have paneer, baby corn, mushrooms, zucchini, etcetera to satisfy your taste buds. It remains full all year long, so getting a reservation before going is always a great idea! This place can never let you down.

Barbeque Nation

This has been a very popular restaurant since it first opened its doors in the city. The unlimited food in the buffet along with mocktails are a huge hit. The marinated grilled prawns and roasted wings here are crowd favourites. Right from chicken to seafood and mushroom to pineapple, several kinds of starters are served. With other nonbarbecue options like crispy corn, potatoes, mutton sheek kebab, tangdi kebab, and more seafood delicacies, you can take a hard pass on the main course.

Sahib’s Barbecue

Ohri’s theme based restaurant’s are always a crowd puller and Sahib’s barbecue is no different.

Sufiyana singers at the back, belting out amazing melodies and the smoky smell of the barbeque all around, makes for an enchanting experience. It serves complete hyderabadi cuisine with a little Awadhi added in too. The dishes worth relishing is seekh kebab and shikampur. Haleem is another delicacy that they serve unlike other bbq restaurants.

Kebab-e-bahar

CUISINE |

One of the oldest fine dining restaurants in the city, Kabab-E-Bahar is known for its Hyderabadi food and North Indian kababs. The restaurant at Taj Banjara, which is open only in the evenings, is located next to the lake and boasts of an open kitchen. The old lanterns and the stone flooring add to the ambience of the place. Among the starters, the Hyderabadi ‘Tala Hua Gosht’ and ‘Pathar Ke Gosht’ cooked on a stone are dishes that they are known for. The vegetarian kababs are good too, especially the ‘Kumbh Akhrot ki Tikki’ and the corn dish ‘Tilani Seekh’. For main courses, it is advisable to stick to the local ‘Dum ki Nalli’, ‘Hyderabadi Keema Mutter’ and ‘Kachi Dum ke Biryani’. ‘Safed Double ka Meetha’ an interesting variant of the locally popular dessert is the delicacy to end the meal with.

Where: Taj Banjara, Banjara Hills Contact: 040- 6666 9999

Kholani’s

The terrace barbeque in the newly opened branch in mehdipatnam, in a pleasant greenery-clad ambience, has customized grilling tables with the semi-grilled fish, chicken and lamb skewers brought to you, with basting brush, lemon juice, etc kept handy. The Murgh Malai Kebab and Mumtaz Kebabs are outstanding and so are the Grilled Zafrani Fish and Chilli Grilled Prawns, while the vegetarians could gorge on the Tandoor Pineapple and the crisply Grilled Potato in their Jackets, besides Paneer Tikka etc. There is a buffet spread, comprising of the mandatory Mutton and Vegetable Biryani, hunky-dory Indian dishes like Paneer Korma, Kaali Dal etc, and a couple of Chinese dishes, of the Singapore Noodles and Vegetables in Hot Garlic Sauce, kind. Desserts are a mix of Kaddu Ka Kheer, Khoobani ka Meetha, Gajar Ka Halwa and ice cream. The indoor fine-dining restaurant a floor below, has a plush ambience, and has pretty much the same menu, served at the other two outlets, in Banjara Hills and Abids. Try the Patthar Ka Gosht, Malai Mutton Kebab, Zafrani Mutton Dum Biryani, Dum Ka Chicken at any of the three outlets, they are all done consistently well.

Barcelos

Barcelos is famous for its flame grilled Peri Peri menu and has carved a niche for itself by introducing to the discerning foodies their own brand of innovation. The grilled chicken is the signature and definitely the most amazing dish. Begin your meal with a chicken platter which includes drumsticks, thigh, liver and some rolls. Veg Espetada, one of the popular dishes is made of grilled cottage cheese, pineapples and peppers marinated. The stuffed potatoes served with it were full of flavours. The best part is the periperi sauce. You also have a range of Lebanese dips and sauces to indulge in at the start of the meal, and the Arabic mezze platter also finds place on the Barcelos menu. The trick though is to go easy on appetisers and save your appetite for the main course. This place is highly recommended if you love chicken.

Where: Forum Sujana Mall, Kukatpally Contact: 040- 6768 4217, 83417 11430

The Indi Grill

The menu for Indi Grill unlike other buffets, changes once every fortnight instead of the usual daily changes which serves as a two edged sword as though the diners get to enjoy their favourite dishes for a longer period of time, the regulars might get bored with the same old and move on to another place. The menu on a regular basis provides an eclectic array of appetizers both for vegetarians as well as non vegetarians along with North Indian style chaats, tawa items, mains and of course desserts. Amritsari Fish, tangdi, crispy and juicy fish fingers, Cajun spiced potatoes and crispy corn are the ones to look out for. Another compelling ones were the Tawa fry items which had dishes like Rabbit fry and Mutton Galouti on the menu. Rabbit Fry was one dish that would be a must try for everyone because of its bold flavours with a heavy handed use of spices which complemented the sharp, intrinsic taste of the meat.

| COVER STORY

Chitter Chatter Blether with Raashi Khanna Raashi Khanna- an actor and model, she has made her mark in the Telugu and Tamil film industries.

COVER STORY |

Tell us something about yourself that no one else knows.

I’m an early morning person and not a night owl!

How is a typical day like in Raashi Khanna’s life?

I mostly work all day. I wake up at around 6:00 am, workout and have my breakfast. I dress up and reach the set by 8.30-9.00 am. We shoot almost all day. Sometimes it winds up at 6.00 pm, most days it extends for longer periods. Post my shoot, I always make it a point to hit the gym until around 8.30 pm. I head home, have my dinner and crash. It’s quite a regular lifestyle but that’s how it is. I don’t usually have time for anything else.

What’s next in terms of work?

I have three releases coming up, and that’s about it for now. I’ve also been looking at certain projects, that will take some time. I will let you know about them as soon as there are confirmations.

What would you like to tell people romantically interested in you?

I would want them to TELL me that they are interested in me, because I don’t know if anybody is romantically interested in me! Nobody says anything, so I think I would love for someone to just come and convey this! My reaction to that would depend on who the person is. If I like them then obviously, I would be interested.

We have heard that you and Vani shared a room before making your debuts into movies. Do you both still share the same bond?

Although we’ve shifted , our bond has strengthened even more. Distance makes the heart grow fonder, they say. It’s true. We always find time for each other.

When I’m not busy shooting and Vani has a break from work, we make sure we catch up. So yes, the bond has strengthened. She was a friend before but now she’s family.

Coming from a non-filmy background, how did you decide to become an actress? What was your motivational force?

I’ve said this a lot before, but I wanted to be an IAS officer, I was also studying to be one. I had no plans whatsoever to be an actor, and so I think I was just destined to be one. Once I started working, it truly became my passion.

I think it was always meant to happen. It was a revelation for me too. But now that I’m an actor, I’m really happy and there’s no place I’d rather be!

What kind of roles would you like to pick in your upcoming movies? Is there any actor that you look forward to working with?

There are just so many roles I have not done and so many actors I have not worked with, the list is very long.

In terms of work, you can’t pick what you want to do but I just hope that whatever I do next is different from what I have done before.

Tell us about a rumor you heard about yourself and were surprised.

I think rumors are going around all the time. So I don’t think I can pick one and be surprised. I think I’ve stopped giving attention to rumors.

RAPID FIRE 3 things you don’t leave home without?

My credit card, my lip balm and my phone.

Favorite actor?

Meryl Streep!

Man-crush Monday?

Bradley Cooper Recent fashion purchase?

It’s very long since I’ve shopped for myself. I’ve constantly been shooting. The last time I bought something was Indian wear for my birthday.

1 habit about yourself that you would like to change?

I think sometimes I am very impulsive so that is something I would like to change.

Fitness secret?

There are no secrets to fitness. You have to work very hard in the gym and eat right.

Beauty hack you swear by.

I usually don’t visit parlors. I stick to home remedies like applying Multani mitti on the face or sometimes it’s besan with curd and a tinge of lemon in it and I think it does wonders for your skin.

Has the Game Changed?

Does Veganism reign supreme or does the meat still pack the heat?

- By Syeda Inas Inayath

The Game Changers is a new film on Netflix proclaiming the benefits of veganism, narrated by James Wilks, a former winner of The Ultimate Fighter and elite special forces trainer. The movie expedites the benefits of the “plant-based” lifestyle. The film, produced by James Cameron, asserts that eating any animal products, including meat, fish, eggs, and dairy can crimp athletic performance, We asked a few of Hyderabads dietitians, nutritionists and fitness experts what they have to say about a plant based diet as compared to animal based diet as the only medium of protein.

A Clinical Nutritionist, Swathi Krishna Juvvi elecudiates that “A Protein is complete when it provides all the essential amino acids to the body which are needed. Whereas Plant based proteins are incomplete as each food on it’s own only provides some of the Amino acids which body requires.If you are a Vegan or a Vegetarian make sure that you eat a variety of these foods to get all the variety of Amino acids. Animal sources of protein are Fish, Poultry, Dairy products and Eggs. Plant source protein are Pulses, legumes, nuts and Paneer. Animal source of protein has high biological protein than plant-based protein “

Dr. Sneha Desu, personal trainer, Pre-Postnatal and sports nutrition fitness expert, “As a medical doctor and fitness coach, who is also a certified sports and clinical nutrition expert, I didn’t agree with quite a few things in the documentary. For starters, plant based protein may be complete, according to the latest research - but it isn’t biologically active. Second, the movie hasn’t taken into consideration the growing percentage of the population that are legume intolerance and insulin resistant - which means relying on a plant based, carbohydrate rich diet is only going to make a lot of conditions simply worse.

Third, all the examples of athletes feeling and being able to perform better is very subjective, especially when different people can react differently to various diets.

All in all, it’s a very biased documentary that is forcing an idea that may or may not work for someone”

64 DECEMBER, 2019 TULIP

HEALTH |

Dr. Jyoti Chabria a senior Nutritionist on the board of the National wing of Nutrition states “I believe that plant based protein is a good alternative as in today’s world, the genetically modified foods currently on the market, pose no more of a health risk than regular foods and that a vegetarian and vegan diet could be a good alternative and also more environmentally friendly in the long run can be a good source of protein ”

Keerthi, celebrity fitness trainer, Miss Physique Telangana says that one of the main concerns consistently surrounding vegan and vegetarian diet involves a lack of protein. However, this concern is largely misplaced as there is no reason that cutting animal products results in protein-deficiency. The myth that protein can only be derived from animal products can quickly be put to rest because protein is found in all plant foods.The body cannot store protein, so excess protein will be metabolized and excreted by the kidneys . In fact, the right plant-based foods are actually healthier sources of protein than animal products since they usually contain fewer calories, less fat, no cholesterol, more fiber, and more nutrients (like potassium, iron, magnesium, folate, and vitamins A and C, Decreasing consumption of animal products has a multitude of environmental, health, and animal welfare benefits, and substituting a plant-based meal for even once per day or for one day per week makes a pivotal impact”.

Dr.Fariha Tanveer, BEMS / B.Sc / M.Sc -Nutrition & Dietetics who runs the popular Instagram page “ Nutrition with Fariha” states “Heme Protein (Animal Protein ) v/s Non heme Protein (Plant Protein). Many believe that the plant protein is incomplete- which clearly means that they are missing at least one of the essential amino acids. But as we come across Quinoa, Buckwheat we get to know that these are plant based and complete protein which is lacking no essential amino acids. It is important for vegetarians and vegans to mix their protein sources and ensure that they are getting all of the essential amino acids. Fiber is another important factor.

Only plant-based foods contain fiber, which helps to keep the digestive system balanced. Animal products contain saturated fat and higher levels of cholesterol than sources of plant protein. A person may wish to avoid animal products for these reasons. Choosing plant protein over animal protein can help improve the overall health of the individual.”

Sandeep Gadde, a crossfit level 3 trainer , founder of CrossFit Mend states “I think at the end of the day- the best diet is not some magically perfect one but just a simple one you can maintain no matter what. Depending on your lifestyle and background this could be entirely plant-based or meat-based or a mixture of both.

Whichever one you can stick to with discipline and enjoy at the same time, I’d say that’s the best one for you. Personally, I prefer to get my protein from lean meat and my carbs and fiber from plant based foods or grains like rice. This is something that doesn’t take much effort for me to maintain and is also something I enjoy. So no matter what, it’s the easiest diet for me and as such, the best one to stick to“.

Julian Nagelsmann to replace Pochettino at Spurs?

Following Yuvraj Singh’s criticism of Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) for releasing Australian batsman Chris Lynn for next year’s edition of the Indian Premier League, franchise CEO Venky Mysore has come out with a cheeky response.

“Yuvraj Singh, we released Chris Lynn so that we could bid for you! Love and respect for both of you champions”, KKR CEO tweeted. Following this, Yuvraj said KKR’s decision to release Lynn was a “bad call” and joked that he might drop the franchise’s co-owner Shah Rukh Khan a message on that.

In news that could have been written at any given point of time in the past 15 years, Arsenal needs defensive reinforcements. Consequently, the Gunners are training their sights on ‘Villarreal’s Pau Torres. The 22-year old, centre-back, who made his Spain debut last month, is admittedly weighed down by a 43 million pounds release clause, but Unai Emery is undeterred. However, they may face tough competition from Manchester City. The Times says, Tottenham are thought to be making eyes at Leipzig’s Julian Nagelsmann as a potential replacement for Mauricio Pochetinno, who is talks with the chairman, Daniel Levy, about his future.

MOVIES Movie Reviews

Marjaavaan Directed by Milap Zaveri Marjaavan is a Bollywood action-drama film starring Raghu (Siddharth Malhotra) who dons the role of a smart guy who gives us lots of action moments. Siddharth’s love interest features Tara Sutaria who is a mute and deaf girl while Rakul Preet Singh can be seen in the role of a bar dancer. His beloved love story comes to a complete halt when a dwarf-sized villain (Riteish Deshmukh) steps in. What happens next is how Siddharth’s character fights for his love. That is pretty much all that is served in this film, with a Romance and Action thrown in. The film reads like a list of the worst of 80’s clichés. With performances of Tara Sutaria and Rakul Preet nearly negligent and Riteish Deshmukh’s and Siddharth Malhotra’s performance failing to make a mark, the movie is high on romance and action but lacks in logic.

Last Christmas Directed by Paul Feig Emilia Clarke plays Kate, a wannabe singer who has a terrible day job working in a Christmas store.

Kate has a number of private problems, including a tricky relationship with her Croatian mum, played

by Thompson. Then she meets dishy but enigmatic Tom, played by Henry Golding and her life seems as if it is about to change. The movie has a lot of heart and a message that will make sure that you return back with a smile and two teary eyes. With good acting performances, an unexpected twist and warmth and love, this rom com is surely going to steal your heart.

Tenali Ramakrishna BA BL Directed by G. Nageswara Reddy Tenali (Sundeep Kishan) is a small-time lawyer who is on the lookout for a big case so that he can settle down in life. As time passes, he falls in love with another lawyer (Hansika) which is not accepted by her dad (Murali). Just when Tenali is all set to teach his lover’s dad a lesson, he comes to know a shocking truth about him which involves an industrialist Lakshmi (Vara Lakshmi). The movie posses many questions such as, what is the truth? Who is Vara Lakshmi? How is she connected to the so-called criminal setup? To know the answers, head to watch the film on the big screen. The movie is pretty interesting where the actors have given good performances. The songs in the first half were pretty good and the twists are also impressive. The film is an old school slapstick comedy aimed at the masses. In the second half, things get bogged down, what comes now is a silly comedy, lack of relatable drama and much logic-less scenes. Overall, the movie is a comedy caper aimed at the target audience of single screens.

BOOKS The Starless Sea By Erin Morgenstern

Zachary Ezra Rawlins a typical millennial introvert likes video games, escapist reading and drinking sidecars. Until one day where he recognizes himself in the pages of a mysterious book from the university library, he’s determined to uncover the truth.

What begins is a journey for answers that turns into something much bigger which is totally unexpected, as Zachary embarks on a quest to restore balance to the world.

A sprawling, ambitious spell of a story with an extravagantly imaginative plot with bibliophile’s dreams being the major plot bringing in with layers of narratives in different forms forming a mega puzzle which thrills the readers making them follow the story.

All This Could Be Yours By Jami Attenberg The impending death of patriarch Victor sends his family reeling for answers about the difficult man and the secrets he kept hidden within him. In this novel, set in New Orleans, the Tuchmans try to make sense of Victor’s troubled history as a power-obsessed real estate developer in order to move forward with their own lives.

The book illustrates the heartbreak, isolation and chaos that come from getting to know your family.

A good novel about a very bad man is least satisfying when it comes to the terrible things Victor has done, the details of which are teased and promised and hinted at and revealed a little at a time which makes it appreciative and interesting.

The Giver Of Stars By Jojo Moyes

England, late 1930s and Alice Wright a restless, stifled makes an impulsive decision of marrying a wealthy American Bennett van Cleve and leaves her home and family behind.

But when her husband favours work more than her and is dominated by his overbearing father, is not the adventure she had hoped for.

Until one day she meets Margery O’Hare who is on a mission to spread the wonder of books.

Trekking under big open skies, through mountain forests, Alice, Margery and their fellow sisters discover freedom, friendship and a life to call their own.

But when Baileyville turns against them, will their belief in one another – and the power of the written word – be enough to save them?

Inspired by a remarkable true story, the Giver Of Stars features five incredible women and restore faith in faith, love and belief.

Today, it is also seen in most hotels, restaurants and bakeries where all the kitchen and staff members come together regardless of their designations for the cake mixing creating a festive mood.

TULIP - DECEMBER, 2019 77

| TAROT Taurus

Gemini

Take the high ground, this festive season, in any of that little family/workplace/friendship spats which might be brewing. December is busy, social and, even for someone with your big engine, tiring.

Retreats, chill, have a duvet day, stay out of the trouble-spots and you’ll have a blast this month.

The people you decide to reconnect with this December could return to your life for good, so choose wisely. We often instigate reunions, or even just send merry messages to people you think of with affection but no longer see, over the holidays. A simple message can re-forge the connection, and you won’t regret it.

You are convincing in your words and manage to impose your opinion among others. Your trips will be unsuccessful and you need to postpone them.

Only allow people who you can rely on to be close to your plans. New information will soon force you to rethink your actions and change your way of life.

Cancer

Leo

Aries

A long-running entanglement will come to a head and be resolved in your favor, vindicating you and releasing you, finally, from the stress of standing your ground. When this happens- be gracious, be kind and let it ALL go. It’s the season of goodwill, and you’ve got an opportunity to be a magnanimous victor. Play nice.

Libra There’s a pot of gold over a rainbow you’ve been dreaming of, and now is the time to make your move, Libra! Perhaps it’s an educational course or a new skill you’re practicing, maybe you’re creating something in the kitchen/ office/ workshop, or you could just be drawing up some worldbeating plans for 2020.

Your theme tune this December is ‘New news’! Go seek fresh landscape, new faces, different activities, a broader social circle, an alternative angle on things and fresh energy boost is what you get as a result. We can get a bit nostalgic this time of year… not you though, Leo! You’re on the prowl for new news; this is where you’ll find your joy this month.

Deep down, you’re preparing to make a bold move in your life.

You’re due a change of scene, a new perspective, a fresh take on things. Have confidence and faith in your ability to move on in early 2020 and, in the meantime, enjoy your festive season to the max!

Scorpio

Sagittarius

You’re a powerful ally. This festive season, you take great pride and solace from being a source of strength for those people you love and like the most. You’re a good friend, a wonderful ‘rock’ to others, and you love boosting those you care for. Good on you, go revel in the season of goodwill!

Look at the long-term impact, consider how this will affect others, and think about using this decision to do good for all.

With that lens, it will be clear what the right path is, and you’ll feel GOOD about taking it. Let your ‘best self’ forge ahead.

Aquarius

Your future lies in your past, Pisces, and in re-activating someone/thing/place which you once held great affection for. It won’t be a literal re-run of before though, because everything’s different now. This return to old ground will actually trigger a transformation in your life which will carry into 2020 on a wave of good vibes.

Pisces

Capricorn You’ve got an important cross road ahead regarding your love life. Perhaps there are two admirers jousting for your attention or perhaps you’re unsure about your current love’s potential, or perhaps you don’t know what you want. Figure it out, my friend.

Contemplate and then commit one way or the other.

Virgo

Well, Aquarius, please know that you ARE in a strong position, even if it doesn’t feel that way. Don’t bend to accommodate others, don’t step back. Lean in and win! Visualize what outcomes do you truly want and then take the initiative to go for it.

You’ve got this!

PICK A CARD

Reading December 2019

Clear your mind, take a few Deep breaths and concentrate on the 3 cards in front of you with the below question in mind: “What are my intuitive/psychic gifts?”

Now choose one card and look below for the answer to your question:

CARD 1

CARD 2

CARD 3

CARD 1:

You picked The Sun. The Sun The Sun suggests there are secrets. They could be your own, or perhaps belong in the hidden world of someone that you thought you knew.

They could deal with private impulsive natures, or obsessions or repressions. The opposite of secrecy is openness. Power comes though revelation and understanding that overcomes what keeps you and/or another person from really knowing each other. Is it time to make some things open secrets.

CARD 2:

You picked The Emperor.

The Emperor Reverse the personal opinion that you aren’t old enough to put your foot down and do what you want to do. You are in control. Believe it and you look like it. It is childish to run away from problems, and you are not a child. There is no way that you can regain absolute innocence, nor would you want to at this time in your life.

CARD 3:

You picked The World.

The World The World card wants you to take action. All decisions do not have to be permanent. There are such things as stopgap choices that help one feel more in control. They are times to engage in the fine art of tweaking. When you are sure of your mission, make a sincere commitment and stick with it. As if by magic, though it was all about you, your wish comes true.
