INDIAN LOOK
My favorite Indian Outfit sharara is from Anita Dongre. I love the work as it is perfect for summer weddings. Accessories that I paired up are a choker and earrings from Azottique, Mumbai and the mini bag is from Notice me. I like keeping it subtle, but classy. My natural makeup looks with Half side braids as my hair does go well with each other. However, it is just the perfect look for a bridesmaid for any haldi or mehendi occasion, it’s a simple ensemble that can be dressed up with accessories or dressed down just as it is depending on the occasion! It’s a Versatile garment that is super comfortable and at the same time has fun elements to play around with the prints!
WESTERN LOOK
Orange Hues for Summer! Outfit from studio plummari. Super comfy, it’s the perfect summer dress. It’s also an easy-flowing material with minimal work. The accessorized accessories are from Outhouse and the footwear is from Caistore. I wore this outfit as it gives out perfect holiday vibes. TULIP - JUNE, 2022 19

This Neerus sharara with a beautiful flowy sleeve gives me an effortlessly elegant look. I’ve paired it up with diamond drop earrings with an emerald in them to keep up with my green theme and Kept the makeup very neutral with highlighted eyes with brown tones, outlined my lower lash line with brown kajal, and used my go-to nude lip color. To complete the look, I wore my beige color block heels with gold accents because you can never go wrong with beige and gold, it enhances the look and gives a very classy appeal. This was the outfit I wore for Eid and it fetched JUNE, 2022 TULIP me a lot of compliments too.
WESTERN LOOK
This is one of my favorite outfits. Meta mara’s extremely comfortable and flowy resort wear makes it a perfect pick for the summer. It has prints derived from Indian traditional art forms and a color palette that compliments every skin tone. I always believe in less is more and try to keep all my looks very minimal. The drop pearl earrings are making me look delicate and the transparent heels are completing the look without taking away from the outfit. The makeup look is all about dewy skin, bright eyes, and nude lips. The hairstyle is a statement-making this a show-stopping look.
TADASHA MISHRA

INDIAN LOOK
This is my favorite Saree from my very favorite designer Ritu Kumar. I accessorized it with Jewellery from Tanishq and my ultimate makeup look was done by Gazal Surana, the makeup artist from the city. My Footwear is from Fizzy Goblet. It’s my favorite outfit because The sheer has an unmatched elegance and the grace it adds is unbeatable. Putting together this look was a task, it took me 9 months to plan my look, each and every detail from the maang tikka to the bangles. I also wanted to make sure that some of my mom’s jewelry matched the look and a few of her bangles were a part of the set. Never imagined it would be so difficult to just plan a single look.
WESTERN LOOK
This outfit is from Zara. I have myself this simple makeup and accessorized it with jewelry from my go-to shopping store, Zara. This mango footwear is my other favorite. However, I got this beautiful outfit in red just before the lockdown. I love the color red and how it adds an instant oomph to the whole look. I used a belt to give the outfit a more structured look. This is a dress that will always go a long way and will always be a wardrobe staple. TULIP - JUNE, 2022 21

INDIAN LOOK
The Dolly J couture is known and very celebrated. It’s one of the most established brands of Indian culture, and wearing this was an absolute honor, I styled it for a recent wedding where I kept my hair and jewelry very Minimal and focused on the outfit. This outfit from Dolly J is absolutely lovable in terms of the design and the aesthetics that the brand follows. I wore this for a wedding and accessorized it with jewelry from Angasutra. This outfit is my favorite as it gives a traditional yet very youthful look.

WESTERN LOOK
This effortless look is curated by Zara, a fan of all things quirky be it wide-length pants or all things print on print, this is one of my favorite genres of fashion and I absolutely loved styling and putting this look together for Zara. It was one of my favorites! Wearing Zara pants and this bomber jacket from a vintage store in London, my style is super quirky and I always feel I want one or two elements to stand out. My shoes are from Zara too.
SATPREET KAUR

INDIAN LOOK
The Indian look has to be sharara, I have always been a fan of this look, and it makes me happy that designers have started using lighter fabrics for this style, instead of sticking to traditional heavy fabrics which restricts it to special occasions only. I am wearing a sharara that is made in mul cotton and is by a Jaipur-based brand called Omana Jaipur, the sheer flowiness, the gotta patti details, and the refreshingly fresh color combination makes this my current favorite Indian outfit. It’s graceful, fun, and beautiful. I paired it with a handcrafted choker from House of Tuhina with matching earrings. For makeup, I opted for a peachy look, and for my hairdo, loose curls.
WESTERN LOOK
For a western look, I love floor-hugging gowns, nothing says more feminine than this. I picked this gown and bag from a local store in Dubai and it has been my treasured buy. I paired it with statement earrings from Prerto, Aquamarine stone Bracelet, and an heirloom bangle. Since the outfit and jewelry were bling, I kept the makeup minimalist, highlighting my skin and lashes the most. My curls, red nails, and lips add a pop look. TULIP - JUNE, 2022 23

I loved wearing this gorgeous suit from The Loom. I decided on a Pearl look. And picked the Pearl hairband from Primark, the footwear from the fizzy goblet, and the Pearl bag from an Instagram store. This would be a perfect look for any wedding event like mehendi or sangeet. Since summer weddings are here this color would go so well. My makeup here is minimal and dewy. 24 JUNE, 2022 TULIP

| COVER STORY
She calls herself a brat but when you are around her, all you feel is a glamorous vibe and powerful aura. She is a woman with many talents, a mother, a wife, an actor, a producer, a television presenter and an incredibly warm-hearted person. Coming from a family of actors, Lakshmi Manchu chose to make a separate identity for herself in the USA and bloom as an individual full of hard work, confidence and taste for perfection without using the influence of her father Mohan Babu. In this interview she gives us a sneak peek of her life & upcoming projects.
LAKSHMI MANCHU Unscripted & Unstoppable
50 JUNE, 2022 TULIP
COVER STORY | What is a typical day in Lakshmi Manchu’s life? No day is a typical one but it usually starts with spending some quality time with my daughter, Nirvana, because my evenings are inconsistent and I have more control over the mornings. So, we wake up together and we are not the kind who jump out of the bed right after waking up. And I think that’s the most unadulterated time I can have with her where we can talk about her thoughts, dreams, and her days. That’s how I spend most of my mornings. Then I work out and go shoot if there is any scheduled. Or else I go to the office and my day ends around 6 pm. Almost all days, someone or the other is at home because I love hosting and entertaining people. That’s how my days typically are. Did you always wanted to be in the glamorous world? No, I did not want to be in the glamorous world. But I wanted to be an actor. And to be taken as a serious actor. I never understood the glamour part of it until I became an actor myself. What drew me into cinema and acting were films like Muthal Mariyathai, Geetanjali, and Shiva. When I was a kid, I didn’t think of this as a glamorous world. I saw my dad acting and there was nothing glamorous about it. The sets were hot with no caravans or air conditioners. It was extremely raw and despite it all, something about this chaos attracted me to the core. What was your first ever job? My first job was at a kiosk in a mall. I worked in a perfume store when I was in America and was hugely influenced by fragrances, the reason why I have so many perfumes now. And I did many other odd jobs. Does your family ever have a say in your workrelated decisions? Of course, they will have a say; if I ask them for it. But I realized, as you get older, you need to make your own decisions. If you are confused, you can ask them for advice only if they are willing to give it regardless of whether you take it or not. My family is not like that, if I ask them for advice, I will have to take it. So, gradually I stopped asking them what to do. What’s your take on marriage how do you keep your professional and personal life balanced? I have the perfect marriage. My husband lives in America whereas I live in India. In today’s world, you got to do what works for you and your family. You cannot let others’ morals lead your life. My husband has been living in America for so long and has tried living in India, and I’ve been here for so long and it is not easy to pick up and go to America with my daughter leaving behind the support system I have here. So, we take time out during every holiday and it allows us to travel and spend quality time over quantity. If you are offered a reality show like Big Boss as a contestant, would you go for it? I was offered Bigg Boss Hindi. But that is not my cup of tea, it is not something I enjoy and there’s no reason I would put myself through something I wouldn’t enjoy. Definitely not Bigg Boss, it’s just not my kind of game. You have been part of the Hollywood projects, what difference do you see compared to Indian Cinema? How can you compare apples and oranges? The passion is the same. They are fruits, equally good and beneficial for you but they are completely different in terms of their approach. I do miss the rigid professionalism they have in Hollywood. What are your upcoming projects? I have about five movies I am currently doing; one in Tamil, one in Malayalam, and three in Telugu. I’m looking forward to them shortly. As an Independent woman like you, what advice would you like to give to other women to have their own identity? If you seriously want to take my advice, then it is to not take any. We are constantly told what to do, what not to do, how to do and where to be and I think it is important to not listen to anybody and do what you think is right because we all have that innate intuition of what is right and what is good for us but we get too influenced by the external factors and confuse ourselves. So, the only thing is to follow your heart. And what gave me the independence I have today is the ability to financially support myself and if you can find a way to do that, you will find many ways to use your voice. TULIP - JUNE, 2022 51

And these bands being open to performing at your Sangeets, parties or corporate gigs is just the best way of bringing fun live music into your intimate gatherings.

Infusion Infusion is a Hyderabad-based band started in 2019 that plays regional music & Bollywood / South Indian Classical & Fusion. This 6’ Head Fusion Band, featuring Professional Musicians with decades of Industry experience and International acclaim has its own way of composition and is termed “The Most Versatile Band”. With versatile meanings behind the name, for instance, Indian fusion / Fusion of different genres / Infusing good music into audiences, this band couldn’t have been named better. Infusion has the versatile and accomplished playback singer Krishna Chaitanya (KC) (MA in Carnatic Music -Vocal) and Hrithika Aanandi (MA in Carnatic Music from Padmavathi University) for vocals, Ganesh Battula (Trinity College of London) as their Keyboard Maestro, Sai Vikas, a self-taught guitarist, and Vijay Nelapati, the Bassist, who has been recording with Murthovic on many ad and film projects. You can easily find this celebrated band playing at the city’s hotspots like Hard Rock Café, Moonshine Project, Tabula Rasa, Chemistry, Prost, and many more. KC explains, “Band opens up their chances to explore and experiment with music, despite everyone in the band being supremely talented and trained, we were drawn to the band culture for satisfaction and the vibe. In times when the monopoly of singers is not frequently seen as it was at the time of SBP Garu and Mano sir, bands happen to provide that certainty and financial freedom. Infusion has been traveling all around India performing and soon envision taking their music overseas. Infusion says all the experience the band members possess helped them take over lockdown by taking music lessons to survive their passion. KC takes a moment and appreciates all the bands that came before Infusion for laying the ground for all the coming bands, which greatly helped the audience to segregate the venues for different music choices. When asked about the vision for this band, KC expresses that Infusion wishes that not just Infusion but all the bands get more exposure and opportunities probably through mainstream media. This clearly encapsulates the thought of community over competition and these bands have nothing but love for music in their heart. Infusion also has originals in the pipeline which we will hopefully get to soon listen. Instagram: @infusion_band TULIP - JUNE, 2022 61

Band Capricio Well known as Hyderabad’s First Telugu Regional Music Band, Capricio is a five-piece band with Eknath Kiran Goparaju and Ayaan Khan for vocals, Sai Teja on percussions, Shravan Pakalpati on the keyboard, Moses Bass as Bass player, Nishanth Shekar as the guitarist and Chaitanya, as their sound engineer. Formed in 2017, Capricio is one of the oldest bands known for not just adding their unique twist to classic songs and their unplugged versions but also for their originals – Gundello and Satya as well. ‘Capricio’ is an Italian word, which means a lively piece of music, which happens to aptly sit with the vibe this OG band creates. This band’s logo is as unique as the band itself. Their logo not only reflects their love for Telugu music with the font but also encapsulates all the instruments that make the band Capricio, making sure what you see is what you hear. With Eknath having participated in a Telugu reality singing show, Nishanth having worked for Hentry Kuruvilla, and all the band members being professionally trained, it is no surprise that Capricio delivers music that’s not just soothing to the ears but also technically sound. From jamming with friends just for passion, even when Telugu music was not very welcomed in the clubs of Hyderabad, Capricio stuck to their love for music and gradually grew into a professional band today. In our conversation, Teja mentions that since Telugu music in clubs was not something the audience was used to back the and that they had to play Bollywood music for a couple of months but later the immense support from a few clubs in the initial stages of their journey played a major role and acted as a support for them to be determined to play Telugu music which eventually pulled Telugu audience to these venues. Their virtual shows in the lockdown and them singing a song to tell you that their show was canceled due to some inconvenience is evidence to show their passion for music. With a vision of ensuring Telugu songs are always closer to the people living beyond our country’s borders, Capricio is all set to revisit the US soon. Apart from our Tollywood legends whose songs they usually play, Capricio says artists like Jacob Collier, John Mayer, and Pink Floyd. If you are not a club-goer, Capricio has got you covered too. Like a true Hyderabadi, with their love for Chai and a vision of interacting and getting closer to their audience, hoping to share all their stories and technical knowledge, Capricio is coming up with a live event called Chai with Capricio for all age groups and with no limitations.

Band Raag Band Raag has undoubtedly been the new hype in the band scene of the city. Many might mistake Band Raag for a new band but this five-piece band, formed in 2018 blends old classics with new and latest tracks, adding a whole new flavor to the music and setting them apart in the city. This band presently consists of vocalist Ishaq Vali, drummer Sunny Joel, guitarist Manideep Hendrix, bass guitarist Samy Sam, and keyboardist Elia Kondamudi. In their shows, you will find classics from AR Rahman to Ilaiyaraaja with a twist of its contemporary influences making it a fusion piece. Band Raag says that they received immense support from venues like moonshine in their early stages in terms of encouraging Telugu music in the club culture. Although there was an adapting curve for the band with the members changing, music is the reason all of them were getting on stage each day and that is what glued them together through these years. The vibe they create with their energy levels is unmatchable and the highlight is definitely making the crowd sing along with them. As Band Raag drops the vocals at the hook of any song, the crowd cannot keep quiet and sings along with each other creating a whole concert vibe. Apart from the legends, from AR Rahman and Ilaiyaraaja, this regional crowd’s favorite draws a lot of inspiration from Vivek Sagar’s contemporary fusions, Sricharan’s music, and many more. “A true mark of an artist is the ability to learn something from every other artist and that is exactly what inspires them. Making a song from scrap is very difficult and that’s something aspirational in itself. We do incorporate Bollywood classics here and there as the crowd pleases but Telugu music is our focal point”, expresses Ishaq, known for his Kshanam’s Cheliya, Nee valane from Naruda donaruda, and chorus of Changu Bala from Oh baby. This music band has been not only sweeping clubs with their melodious vibes but also are open to private gigs like Sangeets, cocktails, etc. They also have performed for celebrities like Nani, Allu Arjun, Niharika Konidela, and more. Band Raag shares that the work they have been getting for the past 6-7 months is satisfying and gives them a lot of hope and confidence for the future.

Jammers Started as just another college band, the name this band earned for themselves in the music circuit of the city proves that passion and hard work is all it takes to achieve your goals. This five-piece band with self-taught guitarist Chinna Swamy, Shashank Bhaskaruni — a Grade VIII drummer, Grade VIII keyboardist Naren RKS, bass guitarist Jagadish Chintala trained from Swarnabhoomi Academy of Music, and the vocalist Krishna Tejasvi, trained in Carnatic classical music for more than 13 years needs no introduction. Jammers have been winning audiences with their soulful rendition of popular Telugu tracks since 2016. In a candid conversation, the vocalist, Krishna Tejasvi (KT) opened up about how the number of the audience never bothered them as long as the present audience enjoyed their music. Of course, they started by enjoying playing others’ music but they now want to focus on their own music and like any true artist, Jammers aim to one day get on stage and receive requests from the audience for their original songs. Their original songs include – ‘Bird’s eye’ and ‘Valalo’ Looking at the trajectory this band is on, their supportive crowd is sure that day isn’t long afar. KT opens up and explains “The audience we find in clubs has definitely changed in the last three years and so did the music scene. Now that more Telugu audiences are coming to these clubs, the audience themselves know where to find Telugu music/bands and where to find Bollywood music so when we are playing, we know for sure that this is a crowd that appreciates Telugu music.” The fact that there were times when their shows had a full house audience in a club even on dry days can itself vouch for the change in the narrative. Jammers believe the diversity in this band always keeps them on their feet to constantly learn from each other. This quintet managed to make the most of the lockdown situation catering to lakhs of people’s daily music needs with their enthralling music series called ‘Quarantine Jam with Jammers’ which was a huge hit on YouTube. This challenging yet fulfilling journey turned out to be a great learning curve for Jammers as the whole series was produced at individual homes and mixed to be uploaded every alternate day. Jammers are currently working on their independent album, the first song of which is out titled ‘Tholi Adugu’ which captures the calmness and innocence of a child.

Sai Krishna and Vinay were always enthusiastic about forming a band that would have a bearing on the present music scenario. Something that would make a difference. Their mission to start one was always which eventually began this journey in a train called Varnam express. In conversation, Sai Krishna explains, ‘The meaning of ‘Varnam’ in Sanskrit is color. Color is an aspect of an object formed by differing spectrums of light reflected by these objects. Similarly, we musicians with distinct interests and qualities came together as one to reflect and form a new Varnam (color) altogether.” Professionally, Varnam tries to limit themselves to all kinds of Rock genres but, experiments with other genres while working on their originals. Varnam is also the name of one of their originals coming out this August. You can easily find them playing at Moonshine, Tabula Rasa, Posh Nosh, Heart Cup Coffee, etc. This fairly new, 2020-formed band expressed that initially their biggest concern or challenge was if they could keep the audience engaged and glued to them throughout the show. But, with time they realized that their audience was ending the day with utmost satisfaction just like them. The lockdown gave them a chance to interact with their audience on social media. While everyone was trying to stay safe at home, they didn’t want to miss out on entertaining their audience. Talking about inspirations and hope, Varnam explained, and we quote, “There are many artists and bands around the globe that we get our inspiration from. But to mention one, A.R. Rahman is our personal favorite. And Produce, Perform, Progress is our motto.” Varnam stated that their priority is not just to make a living but also, to help others enjoy their lives. As a part of this initiative, they collaborated with various NGOs like Aasya Foundation, Prathyusha Foundation, Sunshine Foundation & Spoorthy Foundation.

Charan and Vishwa are the brother duo in the band and while brainstorming for band names, their father suggested the name Aavyshkaar. Interestingly this word also works as an amalgamation of all the band members’ names. Introduced to each other from the same music institute, Vyjayanthi Music Conservatory, performing in 40-piece orchestras representing their music academy at performing arts stages like Ravindra Bharathi, elevated their interest in performing as a band, and with their guru Sai Smaran, this band started performing in the city. Known for playing Telugu melodies, this full-time musicians’ sextet believes that every moment, every single time a club or a party invites them to perform is an achievement. They believe the joy and vibe they share with each other definitely reflects on their audience and spreading that positivity via music is what makes them happy. Aavyshkaar gives a special shoutout to their parents for supporting immensely during the Covid period. They used the lockdown period to enhance their skills and invested this time in learning, which eventually improved their quality, proving that every day is a learning curve. Having professionally trained Carnatic musicians and self-taught musicians in the band, Aavyshkaar says they individually have different sources of inspiration. Yeshwanth expresses that they aren’t in a rush to be somewhere or do something, they want to go where their music takes them. “There can be 2 or 3 popular, viral songs in an album but often the remaining 3 songs in the album too turn out to be equally beautiful and we take pride in playing those and you’ll be shocked at the number of people who enjoy these underrated gems”, says Yeshwanth.

Restrict SCREEN TIME In a world post-pandemic, where all our basic transactions of life like education, work, friendships, and relations have been replaced by a screen, we must try to strike a balance and shape our time off the screens as well. The dependency on the devices is understandable since the world has had a gradual shift towards its usage and today more than ever, we are glued to our screens for work as well as entertainment. We work for hours in front of these glowing screens just like how I am writing this feature and when we want a break, just a shift of tabs and there we are, still unmoving and riveted by the visually engrossing content. It is an addicting, lethargizing, and unhealthy cycle that we must consciously try to break out of. Let’s delve into how longer screen time affects our health and what changes we can implement to reduce screen time and indulge in other life activities.
By Vaishnavi Maloth
TULIP - JUNE, 2022 77
| WELLNESS
How does it affect our lives? One of the direct ways longer screen time impacts us is the damage caused to the eyes. Prolonged exposure to the rays from the display of our devices leads to multiple problems like dryness, tearing, blurred vision, eye strain, and sleep suppression. These symptoms may not be long-lasting, but they cause discomfort, headaches, and eventually stress. Sitting in a fixed place for hours can cause muscle tension and pain in the shoulders, back, and neck. The sedentary nature makes people more susceptible to weight gain, and bad posture. Such routines might lead to long-term side effects as well.
Tips to reduce screen time: Be aware: Sometimes hours pass by working and we don’t even realize that we’ve been working
non-stop. The first and foremost tip is that you notice and track your screen time. Various apps help you do so. Tracking gives you a concrete idea of the expenditure of time which otherwise stays veiled. You can note the time you spend watching tv, playing games, and scrolling through the phone versus work which will help you make changes.
Pause and breathe: The second tip is to make conscious efforts to take breaks and move
away from the screen. You must remind yourself to step away for a bit and move and relax your eyes and body. Multiple breaks within the span of work to do little stretches and rest will not only help you unwind but also re-energize. You can set a timer every hour so you don’t forget.
Find things to do that don’t involve devices: Occupy yourself in your forgotten
hobbies to rejuvenate your soul from the monotonous days you lead that do not involve electronic devices. It could be painting, singing, writing, embroidery, crocheting, or anything you find yourself enjoying.
Spend time with people around you: Screens have gradually filled the void of people,
especially since the corona aftermath. We have attuned ourselves to devoting more time to watching or working than spending some moments with people around us. Little things like keeping our phones aside and sitting with our loved ones for a short while will not only help one recharge but also keep our bonds steady.
Indulge in physical activities: Move your body, go for a walk, and do slight stretches to
make sure your muscles release the tension. A little movement here and there will help in better blood circulation which will in turn activate our body and rid us of lethargy. Rather than dozing off while doing your project or getting frustrated for not being efficient, a quick break might help you reset and resume your work smoothly.
Set limits: Certain things are unavoidable like work or school where you can’t help but sit with your laptop for hours. But you can try to curb your screen time on other prospects like usage of social media or playing games or binge-watching shows. There are alert options in apps like Instagram where you’ll be reminded if you exceed the limit you set.
Try not to have meals in front of a screen: It might seem impossible to not enjoy your food without watching your favorite show or catching up on celebrity gossip but in this day and age, post heavy reliance on devices for the most of the day, relishing a meal without any distractions around is a blessing of choice.
Tech-free bedroom: Experts suggest avoiding any usage of
devices at least before an hour of sleep. It disturbs our sleep cycle. Hence it is beneficial to keep all the gadgets away from the bedroom. That way you won’t be tempted to check your phone in case you get a notification. It is certainly not easy to cut down on screen time in the modern generation but trying to make small changes will be of your advantage in the long run.

Since the pandemic, my whole college life got replaced by my laptop. I spent hours and hours listening to lectures, then doing my projects. Sometimes I would get too immersed in my work that I would barely blink. I realized it was just intensifying my distress. So, I started to be a bit more mindful and I’ve been trying to cut down on my screen time by setting alerts on my social media apps. I try to make time to go out, do things that I like and not just stare at the screen all day.

My screen time has gone through the roof over the past few years. My work plus college requires me to use my pc almost all the time. It has been stressful to sit for hours together in front of a screen and strains my body. I try to keep a timer to remind myself to relax my eyes and stretch my body a little. It gets difficult if I don’t take a break once in a while.

I was heavily dependable on my phone and laptop for both studying as well as entertainment. I barely did anything that didn’t have me glued to my phone. But gradually over time, I made changes in my lifestyle. I turn off all notifications so I won’t be urged to check my phone every time it pings. I delete unnecessary apps and I try to spend time painting or doing embroidery instead of using my phone.

ZODIAC POWER
The zodiac is made up of twelve constellations and signs, dividing the sky into twelve sections. These pieces of the cosmos are ruled by the constellation they are affiliated with, forming each member of the zodiac. These twelve sections are further defined by the elements they are affiliated with, and the planets they are ruled by. For example, the sun travels through each sign throughout the year, marking
significant shifts that occur about every thirty days. However, we also see change occur as other planets and the moon soar through our galaxy, enriching our lives with a variety of challenges, blessings, and e m o t i o n a l movement. The sign any given planet is placed under will give us insight into how that celestial body is acting at the moment, providing a map for the energy we are to contend with throughout the day.
The Elements of the Zodiac signs Each of the zodiac signs is ruled by an element: fire, earth, air, or water. Each of the elements is characterized by different strengths and tendencies. But how each star sign is affected by its element is unique to that sign. Water signs are seen as shy, reserved, and sensitive, but also intuitive and in-tune with their feelings. They make natural empaths, with an ability to tap into the emotions of people around them. They're nurturing towards the ones they love but need to be careful they're not overly giving to anyone who might take advantage of this quality. The water signs are Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces. Fire signs, meanwhile, are known for passion, creativity, competitiveness, and inspiration. Earth signs are considered conservative, realistic, and "down-to-earth." Patience is what gets them ahead in life because they understand the importance of building up personal or professional goals over time. They love to be spoiled but do the same for anyone lucky enough to win their affections. The earth signs are Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn. Finally, air signs are thought of as rational, social, and intellectual. People with this sign are naturally friendly, communicative, and analytical. Their curiosity makes them excellent students, and most continue to selfeducate long after they've completed formal schooling. They love keeping up-to-date with their friends but need to be mindful to carve out time for quiet reflection and avoid overstimulation, anxiety, or insomnia. The air signs are Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius.

TAROT |
Aries
Taurus
(March 21 - April 19)
(April 20 - May 20)
As the first sign to appear in the zodiac, Aries are typically brave and outgoing. They’re assertive by nature and won’t hesitate to tell you how they feel. But they do need to be mindful that they don’t hurt anyone’s feelings by speaking impulsively. They can be headstrong at times, and make better leaders than followers.
No one will expose you to the finer things in life quite like a Taurus. This fixed earth sign has impeccable taste and loves to indulge. They tend to be financially responsible, but still, know how to treat themselves and the ones they love. Though they do have a stubborn streak, this member of the zodiac is incredibly loyal and reliable.
Gemini
Cancer
(May 21 - June 21)
(June 22 - July 22)
Perhaps the most curious sign in the zodiac, Geminis make great students and communicators. They’re witty and charming, but also have a darker side to them. They love to socialize but can become nervous or overstimulated when they don’t take time for themselves. This sign is also great at multitasking but needs to be careful not to take on too much at once.
As a water sign, Cancers feel deeply, though will often keep these sentiments hidden under their shell. They are intuitively nurturing and love to take care of the people around them. They have a reputation for being moody and aren’t always the best at unpacking their feelings with others. They often opt to sort out their issues alone.
TULIP - JUNE, 2022 87

Leo
(August 23 - September 23)
Warm, artistic, and protective of the ones they love, Leos make great friends and companions. They are confident and largerthan-life, easily charming the people they encounter. However, this sign can be dramatic from time to time. They feel passionate about their personal interests but need to be mindful that they show interest in the lives of those around them as well.
One of the most efficient members of the zodiac, Virgos are organized, driven, and meticulous in their work. They are very detail-oriented, making them master editors with extremely high standards. However, they need to be mindful that they are not overly demanding or critical of themselves or those around them.
Libra
88 JUNE, 2022 TULIP
Virgo
(July 23 - August 22)
Scorpio
(September 23 - October 23)
(October 24 - November 21)
Known for their diplomacy and harmonious energy, Libra is one of the most laid-back members of the zodiac. They are extremely relationship-oriented but can sometimes prioritize their partner’s needs over their own. This Venus-ruled sign has a keen eye for aesthetics with impeccable personal style and well-decorated homes.
Mysterious, charismatic, brave, and magnetic, Scorpios are hard to ignore. They are extremely intuitive and make natural psychologists with an ability to easily read those around them. They form intense bonds with their friends and romantic partners, but they can become possessive or jealous if they’re not completely confident with themselves.

Sagittarius
Capricorn
(November 22 - December 21)
(December 22 - January 19)
Sagittarius is one of the most beloved members of the zodiac–with an adventurous, charismatic, and generous spirit. They lean toward optimism and love to take risks but need to be mindful of living in the present and making practical plans for the future. Sagittarius are natural philosophers and are always looking to explore the mysteries of the universe.
Perhaps the most disciplined members of the zodiac, Capricorns are known for their endurance and determination. Career-motivated and focused on status, these earth signs are highly driven to reach their professional goals and take their responsibilities very seriously. They’re typically resistant to change and will often stick with their personal routines for many years.
Aquarius
Pisces
(January 20 - February 18)
(February 19 - March 20)
Nothing says “quirky” quite as Aquarius energy does. This member of the zodiac embodies rebellion, creativity, eccentricity, and intelligence. They’re driven by a desire to evolve past antiquated ideals and help society move into a compassionate space. They can be seen as unpredictable but often surprise people with their streaks of brilliance and hidden genius.
Pisces signs have a peaceful and gentle presence about them, with an uncanny ability to tap into the emotions of the collective. They’re extremely malleable and need to be careful of who they surround themselves with. Since they are hyper-intuitive, they can sometimes become disconnected–making it important for this water sign to ground often.
