Rather unexpectedly you could find yourself in a situation where something from the past needs to be established in a new way to suit present circumstances. This can involve home or family matters but it could also be connected to what you need to manage on a regular basis. Don’t be tempted to act on impulse. Get the facts.
You could suddenly become keen to get things in better order. In part this could be because your energy level is good right now. It could feel as though you are fulfilling a wish you might have had but did not think was realistically possible. When it comes to finances hold off for now on committing yourself to something new.

The New Moon this week occurs in your sign. This could bring some interesting and unexpected new beginnings of some description that could have past connotations attached in some way. Don’t be too worried about trying to work it all out before 20th July and don’t be tempted to jump into anything that means taking a risk. Wait for clarity.
There is a lot going on behind the scenes that could lead to new beginnings. If there are any circumstances around you where you feel there is much more involved than is obvious, you are likely very correct. All you can do is wait for these things to surface when they are ready. In between time, involve yourself in things you enjoy.
You are winding up an 18 month period where there has been an underlying draining influence which could have affected your energy level or situations that you have had to be involved in. You could suddenly decide that certain obligations need to be sorted out in a manner that is fairer to you because you want to establish new priorities.
It might be time to take a new approach to obligations expected of you, especially if you do not feel your efforts are appreciated. Exactly the best way to go about this will not start to become obvious until after 20th July. You might also need to consider ways you have allowed this to happen in the past and change that.
The expectations of somebody else that could be rebellious when it comes to their own needs could get you considering the fairness of it all, especially if it goes against your own priorities. This could encourage you to look at where things need to head in the long term in a completely dif-
An experience you have with somebody else and what they expect could seem as though the past is repeating itself in some way but with a new twist. Don’t expect to have the first stage of clarity as to what this is really all about before 20th July. Carefully weigh up any commitment or responsibility this might bring your way.
Either somebody from the past may reappear with a completely new proposal or attitude towards things or you could be reminded of what you have experienced in the past by a new person. Just what it is all about may not fully surface before 20th July. This could make you realise just how much your view of the future has changed.
Now would be the time to look into embarking on a new health regime, if that has been nagging at you lately. For others it could be considering alterations to normal routines that could make things more comfortable in some way. Somebody else could be encouraging you to upgrade things in some way. That is up to you.
You could decide to go back to something you have enjoyed in the past. It won’t be exactly the same and this might generate some doubts initially. If there is a social component to it, you could meet some interesting people. It could help you to take an alternative view to the manner in which you have normally structured things in life.

Something you thought was settled and agreed to in the past may now need to take a new direction. Be mindful of any pressure this could put upon you financially. You cannot afford to take a risk. The need to find out more information is a strong possibility. Don’t expect instant answers – they could start to come after 20th July.

achieves another KRITI'S NEXT STOP Ranveer global milestone
Actress Kriti Sanon has expressed her desire to headline a female superhero film, revealing that action and larger-than-life characters are among the roles she would like to explore in the next phase of her career. Known for experimenting with different genres and characters, Kriti said she would love to step into the superhero space and portray a powerful female character. Speaking about the kind of roles she hopes to take on, the actress also expressed an interest in exploring morally grey characters that would allow her to move further away from conventional roles. "I also want to play, like, a super-woman. I feel like the only superhero that we have in India is Krrish. Yeah, And of course, we have Shaktimaan, right. But they're all men. I would love to, you know, there should be, like, a female superhero," Kriti said. She added that taking on such a role would give her the opportunity to explore action, something she is keen to experience on screen. "I have to do action. Yeah, I'd love to do that. That would be really cool. Putting it out there," she said. Kriti's wish comes as she continues to seek diverse characters, with a female-led superhero story potentially combining performance, action and a larger-thanlife screen presence.
Actor Ranveer Singh has become the first Indian brand ambassador for Ray-Ban and Ray-Ban Meta, adding another international association to his growing portfolio. The partnership places him alongside global personalities associated with the brands, including BLACKPINK's Jennie and Formula 1 champion Lewis Hamilton. The collaboration brings together Singh's passion for fashion and self-expression with Ray-Ban's eyewear legacy and Ray-Ban Meta's technology-driven products. It also marks a significant step in the brands' association with the Indian market. Speaking about the partnership, Singh said, "Ray-Ban has always stood for individuality, and that is something I have connected with for as long as I can remember. Style, for me, has never been about following a fixed formula. It is about instinct, mood and having the freedom to express every version of yourself." He added that the combination of iconic styles and cutting-edge technology made
The accidental actor : SHRUTI Actress Shruti Haasan never planned to become an actor. In fact, she always wanted to work behind the camera and pursue writing. Speaking at a Conclave, Shruti revealed that her acting journey began almost by accident when she made her screen debut in her father Kamal Haasan's Hey Ram (2000). At the time, she was assisting her mother, Sarika, in the film's costume department. When the production needed someone to play Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel's daughter, Shruti was asked to step in. "They didn't have a daughter and an actor available for free. I was available and that's how I made my debut. I did not have a choice," she recalled. Even her Bollywood debut in Luck (2009) was driven by her passion for music rather than
acting. She wanted to earn money to buy m u s i c a l equipment and i n i t i a l l y considered the role a one-time opportunity. However, watching herself on screen made her reconsider her career. "That's when the acting bug bit me," she said. Growing up as the daughter of two prominent actors, Shruti also faced considerable scrutiny. She admitted that navigating the attention was difficult but has continued striving to establish her own identity. She was last seen in Rajinikanth's Coolie (2025).
Abhishek Bachchan has expressed his interest in returning to one of his most remembered songs, 'Kajra Re', nearly two decades after its release. The actor recently recalled the experience of shooting the song from Bunty Aur Babli and said he would "love" to be part of a 2.0 version, although he jokingly noted that Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and his father, Amitabh Bachchan, would also need to be convinced. In a conversation with BBC Asian Network, Abhishek was asked whether he would be interested in revisiting 'Kajra Re' with a new version. The actor responded positively, saying, "I'm down for that. I'd love it. You have got to convince Aishwarya and my dad, though." Reflecting on the original song,
Abhishek recalled the shoot as one of the most enjoyable experiences of his career. He said the atmosphere on the sets was more like a celebration, with the cast and crew having a great time while filming the track. "I don't know if I have had more fun shooting a song than shooting 'Kajra Re'. It was just one big happy party. We enjoyed it so much. I still remember we were filming and it was my birthday, and they celebrated," he said. Abhishek also shared an interesting detail about how some of the song's candid moments came together. According to the actor, director Shaad Ali played the track for several hours on the sets, turning the shoot into an impromptu dance session. The footage captured during those moments was later incorporated into the final song.

the association feel natural. Singh also expressed excitement about being part of RayBan's legacy and Meta's vision of making AI g l a s s e s accessible to everyone. The announcement comes after the success of the Dhurandhar franchise, which has kept the actor in the spotlight. With this partnership, Singh further strengthens his international brand presence, bringing his distinctive approach to style and individuality to Ray-Ban and Ray-Ban Meta's Indian audience.
Yami sets higher goals
Winning the National Film Award has been a "true validation" and comes as an added responsibility to make better and more diverse choices, says actor Yami Gautam. The actor, who won the award for best actress for her role in Article 370 last month, is playing a mysterious new bride with superpowers in the upcoming horror-comedy Nayyi Navelli. "National Film Award is a really big honour. I think it's a very true validation for any artist across all languages, all formats that you can receive in our country and I take it with all humility. I'll be lying if I say, no, nothing's changed. There's an added responsibility in me as an artist, as an actor who'll always try to be even more diverse, work harder and try and win and earn this love and respect that you all bestowed upon me and showered on someone like me who comes from a small town. I still feel there is a long way to go. There is so much for me to learn," Gautam told reporters here at the trailer launch of the film .
