Saturn Uranus Opposition

Saturn Oppose Uranus April 26, 7:23pm
Since November 2008, Saturn and Uranus have been on a teeter totter with each other. Those dates were November 4 2008, February 5 2008, Sep 15, 2009 and now we are on our fourth round.
We have been given a gift of Saturn transiting back one more time into Virgo and it is giving us this great opportunity to look at our daily activities and see how they support change (Uranus). Does our schedule look nuts? How do we spend our time? Do we run around taking care of others but ignore our own needs? How about those of us with OCD, is it on full volume? And what about diet? If you are eating three thousand calories a day are you really surprised you've put on twenty pounds? Now you should take this final passage of Saturn in Virgo to clean up the lame areas that is your daily life.
Of course some of you are probably saying, "Why and Why now?"
Because Pisces is where we dream. It is one of our visionary signs. It is the sign of great mystery. It is where we meditate and we find our new lives. And in this sign is Uranus, the agent of change. However, Uranus is wrapping up its time in Pisces and when it moves into Aries the changes we make will be based on something different. More like "have to" changes. So, while Uranus is in Pisces and under this aspect with Saturn try to connect to your higher self, (spirit or the great unknown) and see if you can uncover your true future you.
If you don't know, take a look at your life and ask what has been nagging at you since November 2008? You have probably all had some energy come up that you are processing that is a direct result of these two planets. If you are unclear, just ask a few friends. Ask them are there any 'catch phrases' you have been saying for the last two years. Because any venting you've been doing is probably where the change needs to take place.
We are under this influence for awhile not just today so start cleaning up your daily life so you can get to your dream life.
And remember the next time Saturn and Uranus do their last teeter totter (July) they will be doing it in Libra and Aries. Which is not about daily routines and dreams it is about personal identity and relationships. And it promises to start with a bang.

Review: The Grimm Collection by Polly Shulman
Author: Polly Shulman
Genre: YA, Pre-teen, supernatural, romance, mystery
Format: ARC
Release Date: July 2010
Perfect for: those who need a break from angst
Elizabeth's life is far from a fairytale. She has no friends at her new school, a stepmother who doesn't 'get' her, and no prospective boyfriends in the scene. That all changes when she is hired at a fantastic library-- a library that doesn't deal in books, but items-- some normal and some magical. When items from the special collection of Brothers Grimm artifacts go missing, all the library 'pages' must band together to figure out who is stealing, while trying to stay alive.
I enjoyed 'The Grimm Collection'. It was something I would classify as a 'fun' read-- nothing heavy or over dramatic, just plain old fun. Elizabeth's POV sucked me in with its friendly tone and touch of humor. The secondary characters (basketball star Mark, beautiful Anjali, and awkward Aaron) were easy to figure out, but added to the story nicely. I like that this is an ensemble book and not one that focuses solely on the main character.
As a side note, I really like the cover on this book. It really connects well with the story as opposed to other titles where you have to wonder how or why they decided this or that would be appropriate on their cover!
While the romantic entanglements were few and pretty easy to spot, I found them cute and more innocent compared to typical YA titles. This is definitely a book that pre-teens or young readers with higher reading levels can safely pick up with no worries of it becoming too 'mature'.
The charm of this story is the overall concept. I love the library the four teens work at. Heck, I'd love to work at that library! So many stories can stem from just the setting alone. I mean, just think of all the things that could happen with the other special collections! That being said, I wonder if this is meant to be a stand alone novel. Most of the major plot elements were tied up nicely, but some smaller ones were left open.
Personally, I'd like to see more of the library and the characters. It was a fun romp and I think that Elizabeth, Aaron, Anjali, and Mark still have enough life in them for a sequel. I recommend 'The Grimm Collection'. It's perfect reading for a lazy day when you don't want to read anything too heavy, but just want to immerse yourself in a world filled with magic and mayhem.
*Note: My ARC is titled 'The Grimm Collection', Goodreads has this labeled as 'The Grimm Legacy'.

Saif Ali Khan: Kohl Lined Eyes of Kareena Kapoor Too Luring! 2010 (imk)
One of the most popular and loved couples of bollywood, Siaf Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor, or ‘Saifeena’, are said to be just made for each other. Recently, during one of her TV shows, Kareena had confessed to director Karan Johar that she had found her man. She admitted that Siaf was the man, with whom she would want to spend the rest of her life with.
Similarly, Saif Ali is also known to absolutely dote on Kareena. He is always giving her some expensive gift or the other.
But, what is the ‘Thing’, that makes Saif really turn on in his newly found lady love? Well, according to insiders, Saif just adores Kareena with her eyes all heavily made up with Kohl. This look was sported by her in many films like ‘Asoka’, with Shahrukh, and the more recent one ‘Kambaht Ishq’.This look of Kareena’s is too luring for Siafu to resist!
It seems that Saif Ali is so much impressed with Kareena’s made up eyes look, that even for his home production ‘Agent Vinod’, where the two are playing the lead characters, he hjas specially seen to it that Bebo gets that deepKohl lined look.
Now, isn’t that just too cool? Well, at least the kohl will help in cooling Kareena’s eyes,if nothing else, (Kohl is considered very good for helping tired eyes to cool down and it gives a relaxed feeling to the wearer)

Mithun Chakraborty and Ratna Pathak Shah will soon be joining the team. Some scenes on the entire cast and comic fight sequences featuring Ajay, Kareena and Shreyas have been canned. A song composed by Pritam and choreographed by Rajeev Surti was shot all over the picturesque locales of Goa. Two sets have been erected on the beach.

Recently, Rohit came to Mumbai on April 11 to celebrate his young son Ishaan’s birthday and was back at work the next day.

Ajay's new avatar
Ajay Devgn will sport a brand new look for Golmaal 3 which is currently been shot in Goa. He's gone rugged, more macho and grungy, with a stubble, a buzz cut, diamond ear-studs and tattoos! Director Rohit Shetty who has conceptualized Ajay's look said, "Ajay plays a hyper character who loses his temper very quickly, because of which everyone is scared of him. People never know whether he will laugh or snap at them. I wanted this character to look completely different from any other character he has done before. He has been working hard on his body, so I wanted him to flaunt that too," said Shetty, adding that Ajay himself took a keen interest in the styling, including the choice of the tattoo on his neck. The tattoo is of a Celtic or tribal trishul. According to Aalim of Aalim Studio, who designed the tattoo, it's very daring to have a tattoo on the neck, even if it's temporary.
Rohit has even styled the other cast members of the movie like Kareena Kapoor's tomboy look and Tusshar Kapoor's tapori get-up and will work on Arshad Warsi too.
