nakshatras as movies i love

Picture the most beautiful girl from high school. Not necessarily the most popular or outgoing, but the classmate who had everyone smitten. Her hair was always perfect, her outfits effortless, and she exuded poise, kindness, and quiet confidence. This hyper-feminine dream girl is precisely what Rohini nakshatra represents.

However, not everything is moonlight and rainbows with this placement. Gossip often follows a Rohini like a bad aftertaste. At some point during their youth, Rohinis felt abandoned for being their authentic selves. Many of the natives I've met were teased as preteens for not conforming to beauty standards (such as their wardrobe or body hair removal). Negatively-aspected Rohinis and Rohini Moons often receive this criticism from their own mothers.

Sadly, even when Rohinis conform under this pressure, they're demonized for it. This "damned if they do, damned if they don't" narrative persists throughout their lives, only easing up once middle age sets in and societal expectations of femininity abate.

As we know, hyper-femininity is both celebrated and punished by society. It's seen as an ideal yet somehow superficial. (Interestingly, even critics of hypermasculinity rarely accuse it of being "fake," but that's a discussion for another time.)

While every Lunar Nakshatra, including Rohini, Hasta, and Shravana, has an inclination towards social anxiety, Rohinis stand out, as when accused of being superficial, they often double down or adapt to secure their societal "shields." Rohinis feel everything physically, often experiencing anxiety in the form of pain, chills, or stomach troubles.

At the end of the day, Rohinis are pure-hearted souls dedicated to their small, close-knit circle of loved ones. They crave genuine connections and experiences after becoming disillusioned with social masks. I highly recommend Rohini placements to stick with those who love them for who they are, rather than what they represent.

Sofia Coppola and the bling ring cast in paris hilton’s closet

On The Rocks is Sofia Copolla's return to a semi-autobiographical film that stars Bill Murray again as her father-figure, after the fantastic Lost in Translation, ages ago it now seems. Bill Murray is still amazing in this buddy movie, along with an excellent Rashida Jones playing his daughter. The script by Copolla plays almost like a Woody Allen comedy, set out in New York, shot in 35mm film, thankfully pro-COVID. Released on Apple TV+ worldwide, it's a breath of fresh air while cinemas are closed. The theme about fathers and daughters, men and women, is very familiar but portrayed in an honest and truthful way while keeping intact the director's style of creating modern, artful worlds occupied by lonely people in big cities. The film might not feel as deep or profound as Lost in Translation was, but I enjoyed it nevertheless. If Apple TV and Netflix have ruined cinema, at least they can keep it alive during lockdowns, with little gems like this.

B+
