​When the restored version of the 1981 classic Umrao Jaan released last year, theatres were operating at full capacity. Rekha’s eyes, filled with longing, were on every second Instagram story. During one such screening in Mumbai, I observed something that surprised my parents but not me: there were barely any men in the audience. Women had come with their friends and visibly queer folks filled the rows.. When Asha Bhosle’s ‘Dil Cheez Kya Hai’ came on, everyone sang along in sync like a live concert, with Rekha’s graceful moves coming to life in restored 4K clarity. As the song progressed, some started to mirror Rekha’s moves, imploring some imaginary, illegitimate lover, reminding him that he must always return to this gathering of desire: Iss anjuman mein aapko aana hai baar, baar.. When Asha Bhosle passed away yesterday at 92, it was a poignant reminder, if one were needed, that she was the first contemporary singer in India to give shape to queer desires. Across India, drag queens and kings continue to stretch their vocal cords singing her songs before hitting Cher’s high notes. In pride marches, there is always a group of gays with a portable boombox blasting ‘Piya Tu Ab To Aaja.’. What is it about Bhosle’s oeuvre that lends itself to queer life so clearly? For one, her music felt like a soundtrack for queer men’s lives: unaffected by public morality, not confining the definition of desire to just husband and wife, acknowledging that the ‘other woman’ existed and that we were fooling ourselves if we turned an ignorant eye to her. I remember reading how Umrao Jaan was first offered to Lata Mangeshkar, who turned it down because she wasn’t sure how she could give voice to a courtesan. Bhosle, who filled in for her and was meant to sing only one song, eventually ended up lending her voice to the entire Umrao Jaan album, which earned her a National Award. She read the Urdu novel the film was based upon, understood a courtesan’s life and gave it her best shot.. The characters for whom Bhosle sang were usually considered ‘misfits’—a label that queer folk have been encumbered with for years. Consider the parts Helen played, the seemingly Anglo-Indian outsider, never the wife, always the spectacle. In the 1971 film Caravan, ‘Piya Tu Ab Toh Aaja’ is where the story peaks. Helen plays Monica, a cabaret dancer, and in the song, her moves toe a fine line between seduction and rebellion. Sunita, played by Asha Parekh, is present in the audience and has just discovered that Monica is involved with her husband. It’s a reality queer folk know all too well: married men dipping in and out of their lives, purring sweet nothings in private and ignoring in public.  

​Cosmic tip: You have done a lot, you have achieved a lot )even if intangible things) soften that inner voice to keep moving.. Cleanse your mind, cleanse your space, cleanse your body, cleanse your soul. Sage it, himalayan / sea salt it, sun light it, or simply water wash it. There are many ways of achieving the same outcome—you choose what works for you, Sag. Energy clearing is essential for you right now or you have been at it for a while. You may not have persistent blocks but you may simply be feeling slow and lethargic because you are energetically carrying everyone else’s load. Now, remember that just as you shower daily, you also clear your energy as you do it. So if nothing else, make this your daily ritual where it is just you, the water and your full presence. P.S. if you have access to the ocean—go for it. It is calling you.. Cosmic tip: What you are reflecting on is multi-layered and has no single point answer. So instead of fixating on why, clear your vibe and move forward.. You are in a more luteal phase, Capricorn, where you are feeling deep shifts and you know something is about to turn, but you also know that it’s not time yet. It is a preparatory phase where your heart is about to open but the buds are still blooming; your life is about to shift but your mind is still adapting. This is the time for courage, to own your poise while also gearing up for the leap and shift. This is the time where you know you will fall in love again, but you are still piecing together shards of your heart with love.. Cosmic tip: Trust and follow your renewed passion in life—you are on track.. If everything were exactly working out to the tee, Aquarius would you still be panic stricken? Chances are that you’d say no. So take this as a cue today and firstly check off every tiny detail of your life that you have worked towards and is now almost at least 70% there. The rest that irks you—-can it be changed or is it in your hands? If yes, then why worry, if no, then why worry—similar to what the Dalai Lama once said. Reclaim your power and your brilliance by shedding emotional weight and baggage.  

​For a Malabar Gold and Diamonds event in Hyderabad, Kareena Kapoor Khan chose a Debyani & Co. look built from several textile ideas at once. Styled by Lakshmi Lehr, the set drew on Ajrakh patterning, threadwork and zardozi, with the kurta cut in a straight, easy shape and densely worked across the surface.. The base was a deep inky blue, covered in small circular and floral Ajrakh-style motifs, while the front panel shifted into something more ornate. Embroidery climbed the neckline and spread across the chest in layered chevrons of ivory, red and metallic work. The sleeves and hem carried similarly dense borders, while a larger paisley-like motif broke up the repeated patterning while carrying forward the colour palette.. Instead of sitting quietly under the kurta, the poncha salwar brought in narrow vertical stripes and heavily embellished cuffs. Kapoor Khan paired the set with Gianvito Rossi heels and eye-catching earrings in gold, green and red, which picked up the colours already running through the embroidery. Hair by Aanchal A Morwani was pulled back cleanly from the face and left open at the back. Tanvi Chemburkar kept the makeup warm with smoky kohl-rimmed eyes, a pink-toned nude lip and a flush in the cheeks that matched the tones of her eyeshadow.. Each part of the ensemble is doing a different job: the Ajrakh keeps the base busy, the embroidery gives the front structure, and the striped salwar breaks the surface before the eye gets stuck in one pattern. The palette keeps those shifts from splintering, with the same inky blue, ivory, red and antique gold moving across the ensemble..

​You know your relationship or certain persistent patterns transcend lifetimes, Taurus. So why not give what is beyond your control to the cosmos to handle while you remain focussed on all that you really can make happen. You may have been contemplating certain decisions, or you may have also made the plunge, but are now wondering if you will ever get to your summit. Here’s the thing, Taurus. Sometimes you can either choose a romanticised version of life you create in your mind early on or adapt to make the most of what you are being served today. It may be time to get out of your stubborn masculine energy that only thinks logically because you know in your heart, it may be time to surrender your arms and pick this other thing to see most of your other dreams come true..
