Will a sunny new romance wipe out your summertime sadness? Gavin Casalegno, Lola Tung and Christopher Briney for The Summer I turned Pretty(Photo: Prime Video)
The prospects seem very, very rosy when it comes to the predictions for 4 lucky zodiac signs! Astrologer Amy Demure demarcates how a major transformation in love is up ahead for the lucky lot. Now while she specifies impact only for the Sun and rising placements of the chosen zodiacs, if you feel the Moon in your chart is pronounced enough in terms of how it impacts, it's worth checking out as well.
Love is SHOWING. UP. this Summer — whether they're ready or not. They can expect soulmate-level bump-ins, equally powerful reconciliation or even a major switch up if they happen to have already found love. This earth sign comes with a tendency to control...everything, but Amy strongly suggests just letting go and embracing what's coming in. Get out of your head Capricorns! Virgo
The Summer will be pretty big for Virgos, when it comes to the career and finances sector. But, coming in on a close second is love. All the magic, Amy says, lies in them believing that love can, in fact, be easy. And once they let this notion make an impression on their minds, they can fully expect to be swept off their feet — but there's no middle ground anymore for Virgos, it's going to be either sink or swim (and they must trust that they'll sail!). Cancer
A lot has been hidden from the emotional water sign of Cancer. But the fact that it is literally Cancer season, will allow a lot of good things to come to the surface. The birthday zodiac can expect confessions, feelings bubbling up, basically the whole works. For Cancers too, they will either unlock the next level with their significant other, or completely break clean — because the cosmos is not holding out space for those pesky 'in-betweens' anymore! Aries
Its going to be a hot and fiery Summer for Aires — but then again, when is it not? What's different this Summer though, is the fact that the fire sign is exhibiting pretty strong potential when it comes to attracting someone who can actually match their passion. However, Amy warns Aries that while things may be moving fast on the love front, there needs to be a constant checking in of whether this is the result of just chemistry or also connection. Cosmic tip: Aries are being guided to pick the latter — it will give them the long-term stability that they secretly crave.
Did you make the cut to be lucky in love this Summer?

Grimm reality: The twisted origins of 5 famous fairytales

Once upon a time, fairy tales taught us that kindness is rewarded, evil is punished and in the end true love conquers all. We've grown up on fairytales, but the ones we are told are far from their original versions. Before Disney turned them into animated films, fairy tales were disturbing folk stories. Disney didn't create these stories. It adapted them to fit for children. We often say fairy tales set children up for disappointment. But the original versions? They didn't. They set them up for trauma and for brutal truth. Because in real fairy tales, love doesn't save you. Sometimes, it destroys you. What is happily ever after? Is it a kiss from a stranger while you're unconscious? Marrying your rapist? Watching your step sisters mutilate their feet to win a prince? Here are the roots of 5 fairy tales we grew up with. What is the version of The Little Mermaid that we remember? The prince falls in love with the little mermaid and despite a few bumps along the way, they live happily ever after. But that's not the original story by Hans Cristian Anderson. In Anderson's story, the prince does not fall for the mermaid at all. He marries another princess. The mermaid is given a chance to save herself, but only if she kills the prince. She refuses and instead, she throws herself into the sea and dissolves into sea foam. But here's the darkest part- in Anderson's world, mermaids don't have immortal souls. When they die, they simply cease to exist. No heaven. No afterlife. Disney's adaptation gave this gruesome story a fairytale ending. But the original ending? It's a tale of unrequited love and sacrifice that cost the little mermaid everything. Also read by Taniya | What if women ruled the world? 4 feminist utopias that defy gender norms In Disney's Sleeping Beauty, a princess is cursed by an evil fairy, falls into a deep sleep and is awakened by a prince's kiss. Already, that raises serious questions about consent. But the original version is far more disturbing. Sun, Moon, and Talia by Giambattista Basile is the earliest known version of Sleeping Beauty. In this, the princess doesn't wake up with a kiss. Instead, a passing king finds her unconscious, rapes her in her sleep and leaves. While still asleep, she gives birth to twins. One of the babies eventually sucks the splinter from her finger, and that is what wakes her up. No magic, no true love, just violation. And, somehow, she ends up marrying the same man who assaulted her. In the tale we were told, Snow White takes a bite of a poisoned apple and falls into a deep sleep. She is eventually woken by a prince's kiss and everything ends in a royal wedding. But the original Brothers Grimm version is way darker. The evil queen orders the huntsman to kill Snow White and bring back her liver and lungs so she can eat them. Snow White escapes, but the queen doesn't stop, she tries to kill her multiple times with a suffocating corset, a poisoned comb and finally the infamous apple. Snow White falls into a death like sleep, and the prince, disturbingly, falls in love with her lifeless body. They do get married in the end, but the real shock comes at the wedding. The evil queen is invited. Sounds polite, right? Except she is forced to wear hot iron shoes and dance in them until she drops dead, and she melts away in front of the entire court. Rapunzel, the girl with the impossibly long hair, who is trapped in a tower, waiting for a prince to climb up and rescue her. But the tale, as told by the Brothers Grimm, is far from it. In their version, the prince doesn't just visit, he sneaks in regularly, and Rapunzel eventually becomes pregnant. One day, she innocently asks the witch why her clothes no longer fit. Furious, the witch cuts off Rapunzel's hair and banishes her to a wasteland to give birth alone. When the prince returns, the witch tricks him with the severed braid, and tells him that he will never see Rapunzel again. Then the prince jumps from the tower into thorn bushes and is blinded. He wanders the wilderness for years. Eventually, he finds Rapunzel, now a mother, and her tears magically restore his sight. They do reunite, but only after exile and brutal punishment. We all know the Cinderella story- a mistreated girl, a magical makeover, a glass slipper and a prince who finds her just in time. But in the Brothers Grimm version, there's no fairy godmother. Instead, Cinderella prays to a tree growing from her mother's grave. And the slipper test? Far more gruesome than we were told. To fit into the dainty shoe, one stepsister cuts off her toes and the other slices off her heel. The prince is fooled until birds warn him of the blood. In the end, during the royal wedding, the same birds that helped Cinderella, peck out the eyes of the two stepsisters, blinding them for life. It's a horrifying story of justice delivered with feathers and blood. (The writer is an intern with
