Vedic Astrology Observations

in my previous post, i had mentioned how Uttarashada natives love grandness and glamour. the more i look into it, the more i see these natives indulge in that old world, royaltycore aesthetic. its always go big or go home for them

Sanjay Leela Bhansali, who is known for his splashy period dramas with elaborate costumes and grand set designs has Ketu in Uttarashada

Fan Bingbing who is known for her glamorous and eclectic style has Ketu in Uttarashada (she also has her moon in Revati, another nakshatra that really loves glamour)

Kim Taehyung, who is also known for his preference for vintage glamour has Mercury & Mars in Uttarashada (he also has his moon and ketu in Revati)

Dilraba Dilmurat is another celebrity who is known for her extravagant style (chinese actresses in general have a very regal, extravagant style) and she has Revati Mars as her atmakaraka (her moon is in Punarvasu, a nak known for its girly style)

2. someone previously made a post about how mrigashira natives often play the "bimbo" in movies and ive observed that this also corresponds to real life, where a lot of mrig natives are perceived to be ditzy airheads or for saying crazy insane stuff. i believe its the mars influence that makes these natives speak hastily without much thought.

(Mrigashira moon Rachel McAdams playing Regina George in Mean Girls)

Sonam Kapoor, the bollywood actress is known in the Indian media for being a ditzy airhead 🤣and she has a Mrigashira stellium

Jordan Peterson and Kanye West are both Mrigashira moon natives and they're known for saying the most batshit crazy stuff.

3. ive noticed that many filmmakers who have prominent Uttarashada placements often explore loneliness and isolation or a lack of belonging in their movies. UA being the only nakshatra to possess a mongoose yoni which means its the only nakshatra without a yoni consort could be why these natives are so desperate for connection yet lacking it.

Shunji Iwai, has UA sun, mercury and ketu (a still from his movie Love Letter)

Jim Jarmusch has UA sun and mercury. All his movies are about loneliness and being an "outsider" in one way or another.

Philip Kaufman has Uttarashada moon. Intensely sexual but unbearably lonely.

Murakami who is known for how melancholic and lonely his books are (albeit strange and wonderfully weird) has Uttarashada sun

Another very common theme is how many Uttarashada natives have strange sexual desires, weird kinks and a perverse or odd sexual life/appetite. If you're familiar with Murakami, I need not explain further xD

4. Venusian natives often allude to Venusian imagery, specifically the Birth of Venus by Botticelli in their works.

Cardi B has Revati moon (venus is exalted in pisces) and here she is wearing Thierry Mugler's Birth of Venus dress to the Grammys.

Uma Thurman (from "The Adventures of Baron Munchausen") has Bharani Sun & Saturn and Purvaphalguni Ketu and here she is playing the Goddess herself!

Aishwarya Rai has Purvaashada moon and she is wearing a dress by Gaurav Gupta that references Venus.

Lady Gaga (from her Applause mv) she has Revati Venus Atmakaraka, as we know Venus is exalted in Pisces and Venus in Revati is considered it's best position. I suggest watching the MV since its rife with pisces imagery :-)

Beyonce has Purvaphalguni sun and the deity of Purvaphalguni is Bhaga, the god of marital bliss. Beyonce's interpretation of the Birth of Venus features her with her twin babies and babies signify the consummation of a marriage, thereby making this a uniquely Purvaphalgunian take on the original.

5. This is a no-brainer but mermaids in cinema are often played by Pisces rashi natives.

Halle Bailey is a UBP sun. Lin Yun is UBP moon and saturn with Revati Ketu. Esther Williams who did a string of aquamusicals in the 1950s has Ketu in Revati.

Sade has Revati Moon & Ketu and plays a mermaid in her most popular song's mv.

Samantha Morton has UBP moon, Venus/Mars/Ketu in Revati and she plays a mermaid in U2's Electrical Storm MV.

7. (TW: sexual assault, incest)

The nakshatra most often associated with incest is Rohini and Mrigashira but I would say Ashlesha also features these themes. Growing up in a very controlling household with a cold/controlling mother figure is a huge theme in the lives of Ashlesha natives.

in Donkey Skin (1970) Catherine Deneuve plays a princess who takes the form of a donkey in order to escape from her father, the king who wishes to marry her because she looks just like her mother. This is quite literally the story of Rohini, who was Lord Brahma's favourite daughter, and he was attracted to her. Rohini sensed this and took the form of a deer and ran away. Lord Brahma subsequently assumed the form of a stag and chased her across the heavens. When Rudra found out what was happening he cut off the head of the stag. The stag’s head became the symbol of the nakshatra of Mrigashira. As we can see Rohini & Mrigashira's mythology is deeply intertwined.

Catherine Deneuve has Ashlesha moon and Mars in Mrigashira as her atmakaraka (her Saturn is also placed in Mrigashira and is her darakaraka).

If you watch the movie, you can see how its overloaded with astrological symbolism (its based on a fairytale, so thats not surprising)

the color blue is used throughout the first half of the film when the princess is in her own kingdom, traditionally blue is associated with Saturn. Shani/saturn is our karma, which teaches us things the hard way. The princess (unwillingly) has to leave the comfort of her palace and kingdom, assume the form of a donkey and go work as a pig-keeper. She loses everything she has ever known and has to work her way up from scratch, this is a typical Saturnian journey and most people experience this during their Saturn return (Saturnian folks experience this all their lives).

the color red is used throughout the second half of the movie, in association with the Prince's kingdom. Red is typically associated with Sun and Mars in vedic astrology. as the princess works out her karma and integrates her shadow, she blossoms into a fully integrated individual, this means she has cultivated her identity and the strength to act upon it. from a passive, weak willed princess in her father's castle, who was willing to marry her father due to her fear of hurting him by refusing to do so, she transforms into someone who moulds her own fate through her own actions. (Sun + Mars)

The fact that she assumes the form of a Donkey, itself is very symbolic. Donkeys, in vedic astrology is often the vehicle of Gods. Therefore, it serves as the door that governs her transition from passivity to individuation.

the Prince saw her for her true nature, although everyone around was convinced that she's just a filthy, hideous Donkey Skin clad servant. When the Prince slips her ring back on to her finger, she transforms back into her original self (true love is a mirror that reminds us of who we really are and gives us the courage to shed our worldly personas). The dress she wears then, is a golden one, originally given to her by her father when she said she wanted a dress "like the sun". Yellow is associated with Jupiter. After enduring the trials of Saturn, the Princess who became Donkey Skin, once again becomes a Princess, except now she has freedom. Saturn's teachings guide us to Jupiter's blessings. The movie's ending showing us that once the Princess had successfully overcome her trials and now embraced her true nature.

Den-Swe SV 2024 Fashion Recap

Here I come as promised:

Day 1

Mary: Love the dress and navy&white colour scheme, don't hate the shawl, but it's probably more practical to wear a proper coat. However, HATE THE HAT.

Silvia: It's a common silhouette for her, but I'm just not feeling the colours, reminds me of Bollywood or something. And the check pattern doesn't help either.

Victoria: I like the pink on her, also the black accessories. But the lengths of the dress and the coat do look weird. I normally don't mind it if the coat is a bit shorter, but this is too much. Hat, typical Victoria.

Sofia: Good simple white dress, nothing to note.

Day 1 Banquet

Mary: I like the new top, but I hope she would've taken the whole runway outfit with the burgundy skirt, instead of keep changing the golden skirt. It would've looked great with the rubies.

Silvia: good old repeat, not much to say

Victoria: Lovely new gown, my favourite of the night. Great colour, even greater neckline, very flattering on Vic. I only wish the neckline was either symmetric or more asymmetric, currently it looks like it has been skewered by the sash and the brooch.

Sofia: another repeat, like the pale blue colour, the rest of the design not too much.

Day 2

Mary: One of my favourite day dresses of hers (can't believe we've got the designer wrong the whole time).

Silvia: not my favourite blazer... but it's all good. Interesting that both Queens chose to wear a cape today.

Victoria: Seems everyone has agreed to go on solid colour, this one is not to my taste, too neon, also don't like the boxy short sleeves.

Sofia: good colour, good silhouette, flattering on her

Day 2 Evening

Mary: My favourite of the evening, love the dress as well as the coat. I wish I could tie my coats as well as she does.

Silvia: a white suit, with the same white cape I think.

Victoria: love the dress, but not sure the beige coat goes with the rest of the outfit. Something white or red would be better.

Sofia: seems that the colour white is the common theme this evening. An ok outfit, baggy pants were never my favourite.

Horror Literature Adaptations in Bollywood and Hollywood

Into the Dark World of American Horror Story: A Revolution in Horror Television

Since its launch in 2011, American Horror Story (AHS) revolutionized the conception of television horror, at least. It entered the fray with boundaries of storytelling and aesthetic terror. An anthology series, it was the brainchild of Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk; this phenomenon occurs from a new season-long story annually, comprising elements of psychological depth, shocking twists, and disturbing visuals. Every season of American Horror Story is a single, self-contained story; however, there exist regular actors, thematic parallels, and overarching motifs that bind these narratives together into an aesthetic universe.

The Anthology Format: A New Paradigm for Telling Horror

The most differentiating factor of American Horror Story is, without a doubt, its anthology format. While most other television shows continue with the same characters and storylines season after season, AHS takes the concept of renewal to a whole other level, starting the process from scratch with an all-new plot and characters every year. This bold narrative framework allows its creators the freedom to go anywhere with any kind of horror subgenre and not be confined to a consecutive tale that has some continuity between seasons.

What makes this format even more appealing is a returning cast of actors. The fans get to have familiar faces that kind of look like Jessica Lange, Sarah Paulson, and Evan Peters but in new roles because that shows their versatility. Reusing actors in different roles adds continuity but, at the same time, maintains the excitement of unknown twists since viewers never know who the hero or villain will be in a particular season.

Themes Beyond the Supernatural

When supernatural forces like ghosts, witches, and demons are the prominent features of American Horror Story, the truly scary episodes often live in real-life fears or anxieties. The horror series masterfully employs fantastical plots to explain what happens in real life, making insidious, everyday horrors something less even more terrifying.

For instance, Murder House is more than a ghost story. This season depicts the decline of the American family, adultery, and the consequences of unresolved trauma. Asylum touches on mental illness, religion, and an abuse of power because it questions the boundaries between sanity and insanity. Coven that mainly about a coven of young witches also involves themes of racism, sexism, and generational conflict.

Arguably one of the most charged seasons vis-à-vis its sociopolitical implications, Cult (season 7) is a seasonal response to the political context in which the show was produced. It is just coming almost four years after Donald Trump's victory in the US presidential elections and thus does not owe much to supernatural scares but rather the horrors of human behaviour in a television show that taps into one's anxieties regarding America's landscape after 2016.

It is because of this capacity to merge horror with social commentary that American Horror Story rises from the sphere of mere entertainment to a more thought-provoking television that makes the viewer think about the meaning lying behind the horror on the screen.

Visual Aesthetics: A Cinematic Approach to Horror TV

American Horror Story has always been noteworthy for its magisterial aestheticism. The writers, directors of photography, and production designers treat each season like a cleverly paced horror movie. Bold colour palettes, intricate set designs, and ever-so-unsettling camerawork come across to create a very immersive and often disorienting nature of a viewing experience.

The wardrobe line in American Horror Story is further used to support the plot with the dresses of characters. Each wardrobe line of a character reflects the inner world or the role that character might play in the story. The black, sleek, and tight wardrobes of the witches in Coven elaborate the power and control; the filthy and dreadful wardrobe of Freak Show reveals their deformity, both emotional and physical, resulting from being imprisoned within their twisted world.

This cinematic approach to horror television sets AHS apart from the rest within the genre, giving viewers a visual experience that is rivalled by many horror films in complexity and artistry.

Character-Driven Horror: Complex and Flawed Protagonists

The aspect of American Horror Story that really sets it apart is the need for complex, morally ambiguous characters. Traditional horror form does not see much distinction between heroes and villains, by which the blackest of black hats is slapped on the most evil of them, setting them irrevocably aside as abominable creatures. Conversely, this is the realm in which AHS excels, its characters best defined by shades of grey.

Characters of Sarah Paulson also usually act as emotional anchors of the show. One of the best performances in the series is her portrayal of Lana Winters in Asylum where the storyline observes a journalist's journey through horrific conditions at the Briarcliff Asylum. Paulson's characters usually suffer the most from emotional and psychological turmoil, so the fantastical happenings of the show are anchored in human vulnerability.

The villains of AHS are just as enthralling. From the sadistic Dr. Arthur Arden in Asylum to the charismatic yet deadly Countess in Hotel, starring the incomparable Lady Gaga, the show masters the art of creating antagonists that are at once terrifying and tragically human. These layered characters make the horror more personal and emotionally resonant, as their motivations and actions often have roots in deeply relatable human emotions—fear, jealousy, revenge, or survival.

conclusion American Horror Story has evolved from its small novel experiment in horror storytelling over the years into a cultural juggernaut that continues to redefine the genre. It gets the best of the finest things you'd have from traditional horror—a social comment, a visually stunning aesthetic, and complex characters—making it unique in television history. With every new season, American Horror Story will probably continue to move the yardstick of what horror on television can be, to be among the top and most influential horror series of all time.

The Sing-Off, s.4 ep.7 — Finale

And then there were three. But in the spirit of the holiday season, the show brought back all ten groups for one last hurrah. Most of this episode feels more like an old school variety show than a competition, but the individual performances from the three finalists are all excellent.

.

Group opener

It can be easy in the modern world to discount the impact that art has on people's lives. But in times of difficulty, we often turn to music for comfort and inspiration. If this version of Michael Jackson's classic anthem doesn't stir something inside you, I don't know what else to say.

Details:

title: Man in the Mirror

original performer: Michael Jackson

written by: Glen Ballard & Siedah Garrett

arranged by: The Sing-Off arrangers

air date: 23 December 2013

My favorite bits:

the gradual layering and building of complexity throughout the arrangement

featuring a few more soloists than previous opening numbers

the eliminated groups entering the upper stage-side boxes and from the audience aisles just in time for the big key change

alternating Emoni's gorgeous riffs and Austin's high "woo"s over the full chorus

ending the season as it began, with everyone together, and a well deserved standing ovation

Trivia:

Austin from Home Free was sick in the final days of the competition, and ended up whistling his vocal parts during rehearsals to preserve his singing voice for filming.

VoicePlay performance

[h/t to voiceplay_randomnness on IG for archiving this clip]

Give these guys forty seconds and a chance to riff on a classic song, and they'll give you three different musical genres that will all have you grooving in your seat.

Details:

title: Jingle Bells (commercial bumper)

original song: traditional American carol, first published as "The One Horse Open Sleigh" (1857)

written by: James Lord Pierpont

arranged by: VoicePlay

air date: 23 December 2013

My favorite bits:

staying true to their name by playing with the beats and harmonies

their outfits — The wardrobe department clearly had so much fun dressing them for every episode, and this is no exception.

Trivia:

VoicePlay have never recorded a traditional version of this song, but they've done two mashups that include it – "Bollywood Jingle Bells" on their 2012 holiday album "Peppermint Winter", and "Mission: Jingle Bells" as a promotional tie-in for the home media release of "Mission Impossible: Fallout" in 2018.

.

A Cappella 101 segment

Nick and the other judges may have poked fun at Ben for his vocabulary, but music does have a lot of specific technical terminology and jargon. (Props to Chris Rupp for actually offering one serious answer among the jokes.) A little wordplay never hurt anybody, though.

.

Tour announcement

I couldn't find a clip from the broadcast episode, but this promo video seems pretty legitimate.

.

Group performance

If there was one consistent theme for the whole season, it could be expressed by one line from this song: "We belong together." Dozens of talented singers coming together to create beautiful harmonies and rhythms are sure to brighten someone's day. This performance certainly puts a smile on my face.

Details:

title: We Belong

original performer: Pat Benetar

written by: David Eric Lowen & Dan Navarro

arranged by: The Sing-Off arrangers

air date: 23 December 2013

My favorite bits:

all five groups starting with traditional a cappella phonations that replicate instrumental sounds

building to a powerful backing chorus

the percussive stomping and clapping in the final section

everybody leaning in for hugs at the end

Trivia:

VoicePlay were a little starstruck performing with one of the biggest pop stars of their childhoods.

Several of the competitors joked on social media during the broadcast about Neil Giraldo bringing an instrument into an explicitly a cappella show.

.

And the winner is…

Congratulations, Home Free!

.

With VoicePlay mostly being in the boxes or in the middle of big groups for this episode, we didn't get a great look at their full outfits, which is a shame. Luckily, they uploaded a bunch of backstage photos to their Facebook page.

VoicePlay's stalwart sound guy Paul and his mom were in the audience for the finale.

Vocal Rush's videographer shot some wandering videos of the post-finale party with competitors and crew members, as well as some friends and family. VoicePlay can be seen mostly in the background of the second video.

“Bada Dukh Dina” song from movie “Ram Lakhan” Bada Dukh Dina means “Don’t Make Me Suffer”

Sketch studies for Levi Ackerman in kathak dance study, facial expression, body pose.

This is a quite interesting for me as an illustrator, because I enjoy watching Bollywood dance numbers and visualizing male anime characters embodying these dances. Not sure if this is something I would describe as LGBT or feminist artwork, but this theme has always been leading me somewhere. It took me time to realize what drove me to create this work are thoughts on patriarchal values in Indian cinema industry. Indian actresses take the role of these classical Indian dances, and very few Indian actors are represented in classical dances like kathak and Bharatnatyam. The only male actors that take such roles always end up doing modern dances, club dancing, and Bhangra. There seems to little emphasis on men for dance numbers at the level of famous actresses like Madhuri Dixit presented in this example.

We all know Levi Ackerman is almost always presented almost like a K - pop star with his striking gaze and unique undercut. But it’s so masculine to a point where any girl will simp over him. I’ve seen fem Levi art, too. The problem is he’s always sexualized in styles I can’t describe in proper vocabulary. My goal was to steer him away from that direction and present him in a different light. As you can see, I am fascinated with cross-dressing. I love Indian dance attire so much to a point where I want to see anyone wear it, even the most masculine and grouchiest of men wear it. I feel that these emotional dances were built for Levi, the melodrama, the emotion, the pain, and expression would things out into Levi that anime could not present.

As I read the sad and longing expressions on Madhuri Dixit’s face, I can imagine Levi Ackerman embodying that as he yearns for Erwin Smith’s arrival to save him from the royal enslaving him to be a court dancer.

Ahha, I like the idea, but I’m not sure how many hotels look onto training pitches or have training net facilities.

I think this (Shubman hitting balls through omegas' windows and into their balconies) is something that can happen during IPL, specifically the 2020 and 2021 ones? These took place during lockdowns and players were under a strict bio bubble-- allowed to travel only back and forth between the stadium. So it's quite possible that the hotels they stayed in then had attached training facilities or something of the sort, to enable players to practice without travelling more and risking their health.

So basically this can happen a lot with Tim and Eoin 😂😂😂 Baz would be sooooo annoyed lmaooo 😂😂😂 The first few times, he doesn't think much of it, but as it starts happening more and more often he realizes why exactly Shubman is doing it. What do you think he does after finding Shubman at the door, asking for his ball back, fifth time in a row? 🤭🤭

As for other times, I think the players train at the stadium itself more often than not, so Shubman can just hit balls into the dressing room balconies or the dining rooms to catch the attention of whichever omega he's wooing. Rohit gets so annoyed at him because "Are you here to play or to pick up omegas? Stop trying to flirt with the opposition! One of these days McCullum is going to give you a black eye and I'm gonna do nothing to stop him!" (It is eternally funny to me that Baz is the England coach too so anytime Shubman tries anything with an English omega like Harry or Ollie, Baz is there to cockblock him 🤭🤭)

Also another thing Shubman might do is sing flirty Bollywood songs to woo the omega of his choice. He does that to Yashasvi the most obviously, since he can understand Hindi. A lot of Hindi songs are set to the theme that a girl is playing hard to get, always saying no and the guy is on a mission to convert her no into a yes simply by irritating the hell out of her! These songs are often very effulgent in their praise of the woman's beauty. 🤭 And that fits a lot with Yashasvi and Shubman's dynamic.

Also, since there's a running gag in my mind of Baz cockblocking Shubman, there's actually a Hindi song that fits very well here. It's called Taiyyab Ali pyar ka dushman. It's pictured like, this guy is deeply in love with a girl called Salma, but the girl's father, Taiyyab Ali won't agree to the marriage. So the guy creates a ruckus outside the girl's home, lamenting their situation 😂😂

The translation of the chorus would be something like, "Taiyyab Ali is an enemy of love, shame shame! He's the foe of my life, shame shame! The guy and girl, both like each other, but he still won't agree to the match! He remains stubborn, and it breaks my heart. He simply won't let my Salma be my bride!"

Now imagine Shubman getting irritated with Baz stopping him from going out with Tim/Harry/Ollie/whoever and playing this song in loud volume, also arranging for the English translations to show up on a projector so everyone can understand what he's alluding to. 🤭🤭 I think Baz might murder Shubman... Definitely contemplate it at least 😂😂

Probably not so keen on the Bollywood stuff BUT the ball hitting for Tim during lockdown IPL could work really well into the idea we’ve already had discussed where Shub goes to Tim’s door, expecting Tim, only to find Baz.

So he hits the ball - count five - into where Tim is staying, now fuelled with the PERFECT excuse to go see the omega. Baz can’t be angry because he only went there to get his balls back! He’s all cocky and absolutely loving this plan only to have Baz answer the door. He’s confused at first - no WAY did he just get the wrong room!? - only for Baz to ask deadpan if this is going to continue or if Shub can learn quickly to keep control of his balls. Shub has to skulk away with his cricket balls, now with the knowledge that Baz is bunking with Tim and so a late night canoodle is probably completely off the table.

Also Eoin is Beta - I don’t know if that’s been mentioned

Representation of women in art through centuries

Reading Berger’s Ways of Seeing made me understand that women have been objectified irrespective of their culture. The concept of the male gaze resonated deeply with me with how women have been represented in Indian art and media. The works of celebrated Indian painter Raja Ravi Varma exemplified and transformed women into idealised, sensual and often passive figures, catering to the patriarchal gaze. His paintings of Mohini, Shakuntala, and Damyanti turned women into idealised, beautiful figures, made to be admired rather than as people with their own voices or power. Varma’s women are dressed in luxurious saris, covered in gold jewellery and placed in grand settings, making them seem more like decorative ornaments than real people. This style was popular with the British colonisers and wealthy Indians, as it matched the idea of the perfect ‘“ Indian woman”- gentle, beautiful and passive.

One of his well-known paintings, Damayanti Listening to the Swan, shows the protagonist standing on the balcony, wearing a soft white sari that symbolises purity as she longs for her lost love, Nala. Though there is no male figure in the painting, her delicate posture, dreamy expression and carefully styled beauty make it clear that she is there to be looked at, a common theme in Varma’s art.

Source- https://www.artisera.com/products/damayanti-1

Even today, the visual vocabulary established by Varma continues to influence the way Indian women are represented in media—whether through Bollywood item songs, where actresses are hyper-sexualized for the male gaze, or in television serials, where women are often depicted in sacrificial and ornamental roles. The legacy of Varma’s aesthetic can be traced to Bollywood’s fixation on the idealised, sensual heroine, most notably in Raj Kapoor’s films. Actress Zeenat Aman, in the Bollywood film Satyam Shivam Sundaram (1978), was draped in a wet sari, which is a direct visual continuation of Varma’s painting Mohini. Zeenat Aman was labelled as the sex symbol of her generation.

Source: https://bollykings.com/zeenat-aman/#google_vignette

Be it Western classical paintings or Indian mythological art, the objectification of women under the male gaze transcends cultural boundaries, reinforcing the same patriarchal structures that have persisted through centuries. The fact that Varma’s vision still dictates how Indian feminity is visualised and consumed suggests that the male gaze shapes how women are seen and valued in society.
