I Lived By 4 Different Horoscopes For A Day And Actually Got Something Out Of It
I DON'T KNOW WHAT POSSESSED ME. Maybe it was Mercury retrograde withdrawal. Maybe it was my Gemini need for variety turning on me. Or maybe I just wanted the stars to take the wheel for once. Either way, I woke up one morning and decided I'd plan my entire day based on whatever the horoscopes told me. Not one, not two—but FOUR of them. Vogue, Times of India, Hindustan Times, and Economic Times. If it had my Sun sign on it, I was listening. The Times of India told me to wear sky blue and follow my curiosity. I ended up in black, googling medieval weapons. The Times of India said sky blue was my lucky colour, so I threw on my laundry-day blue tee and told myself I'd keep it on all day. That plan held strong until the afternoon, when I changed into a black top for a meeting. A meeting where I didn't even end up turning my camera on. Manifesting? Not really. Moodboarding? Always. I also read that I should 'let curiosity replace old plans.' This was my sign to ditch my carefully planned to-do list and instead follow whatever sparked interest in the moment. That sounded freeing, until I found myself deep-diving into the history of snack jingles, followed by an unplanned scroll session about medieval weaponry (don't ask). Curiosity didn't kill the cat, but it definitely killed two hours of my morning. Somewhere between the snack jingles and the medieval swords, I remembered that I'd skipped breakfast. I debated whether eating something blue would amplify the effect (maybe the blue lays?) But I didn't. Instead, I microwaved leftover pasta and tried to convince myself it was intentional. This was already turning into a very unserious experiment, but I was too deep in to stop. Maybe that's the real Gemini curse: committing to chaos with conviction. Hulu / Via Vogue India told me to shine, so I spoke up more and someone said I looked cute while fake-note-taking. Then Vogue India chimed in with its Pinterest-board wisdom: 'Cosmic tip: time to shine.' Shine how? On which stage? Under what light? I was sitting in my pajamas, switching between five tabs and wondering if instant noodles counted as a spiritual reset. There's something about Vogue's horoscopes, they always sound like they were written by someone in a sun-drenched linen set, surrounded by scented candles and the emotional vocabulary of a therapist. But in my corner of the world, I was just hoping my Wi-Fi wouldn't drop. Still, I tried. I took a deep breath before every interaction, tried to be a little more articulate, a little more visible. No one clapped. But someone did say I looked cute pretending to take notes. I'm counting it. ABC Network / Via Economic Times told me to express myself. I overshared and got checked on. Then came the Economic Times, which said that it was a great day to express myself, pitch bold ideas, even make career moves. Inspired, I sent a long message to my editor about an idea I hadn't properly thought through. I also sent cryptic messages to my friends that I thought sounded wise. Spoiler: it wasn't. By noon, I had a polite message asking if I was okay. The horoscope hadn't warned me that oversharing is also communication. Arsheen Kaur At this point, I was really trying to find signs, like maybe if someone used the word 'pivot' on Slack, I'd know I was on the right track. Instead, I got a 'we'll circle back.' Nothing cosmic there. Still, I stuck with the horoscope's advice. I communicated more than usual, which, as it turns out, is a slippery slope for a Gemini. One minute you're being expressive, the next you're monologuing in a voice note that sounds like a podcast no one asked for. Hindustan Times said to budget, and weirdly, that one made the most sense. Hindustan Times was more practical: 'focus on budgeting.' CBS / Via This was, in a word, inconvenient. But I tried. I made coffee at home instead of ordering in, declined an impulse lunch invite, and tracked my expenses for the day. Honestly? This felt the most helpful, not in a 'wow, horoscopes work' way, but more like, sometimes you just need a reminder to do the adult thing. The tarot card reading told me not to overextend myself, so I said no—and it felt great. I even followed the tarot card reading of the day for Gemini, which pulled the Six of Pentacles, about balance, generosity, and making sure I wasn't overextending myself. I tested this by saying no to a favour I didn't have the energy for. I felt guilty for a minute, then really glad. This part, surprisingly, felt the most accurate. I needed that nudge. The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon / Via By the end of the day, I wasn't more aligned, manifesting, or magically transformed. But I did notice things I usually don't, like how easily I abandon structure, how often I default to autopilot, and how even a vague instruction like 'focus on budgeting' can nudge you toward something useful. Half The Picture / Via Trying to follow horoscopes made me more present, if not more enlightened. It turned ordinary parts of my day into little check-ins. And maybe that's the point—not that the stars control your life, but that they occasionally give you an excuse to look at it a little differently. I wouldn't live like this every day—the advice is too scattered, too open to interpretation—but as a Gemini who's often pulled in five different directions, it was fun to let the stars drive for once. Next time I see 'cosmic tip: time to shine,' I might still roll my eyes, but I might also sit up a little straighter.

Hania Aamir's love affair with all things sparkly
Unsurprisingly, Pakistan's golden girl, Hania Aamir, turned heads in luminous ensembles during this year's wedding season, embodying contemporary regality with a playful, youthful edge. Her outfits were custom creations, styled to perfection, and Hania carried each with her signature charm and infectious smile. At Maria Unera's nikkah ceremony, Hania floated in like a daydream. Clad in a dreamy ivory Ithr outfit that felt like a sunbeam filtered through sequins, and captioned it, "I'll always get you coffee and cheesecake." The structured white sharara was paired with a delicately crafted choli and a mirror jaal dupatta that shimmered like dewdrops – a cascade of mirror work that glinted under the daylight. Styled with statement gold jhumkas, retro sunglasses, and flowing waves, Hania looked like the quintessential modern muse: effortless, radiant, and full of joy. The look felt especially magical against the backdrop of a scenic garden ceremony, set near the Margalla hills. What worked so well here was the styling: Hania's soft curls, minimal makeup, and that glinting dupatta were doing all the heavy lifting. And that's the direction formal desi fashion is heading in: structure with softness, shine without weight, and styling that doesn't erase personality. She didn't drown in fabric or fuss. She looked like herself, only elevated. This isn't the first time the star was spotted in Ithr. Earlier this year, Hania showed up at Yashma Gill's sister's wedding in a totally different vibe, proving she's not just playing it safe this shaadi season. This time, she went full glam in a metallic teal and silver lehenga that shimmered like moonlight on ice. The blouse had a modern, structured fit, but the look was anchored in classic South Asian textures (got to love that contrast). Her dupatta, rich with embroidery and draped just so, balanced the sparkle with tradition. With green glass bangles, a kundan choker, and a maang tikka, she leaned into the bridal-guest fantasy, but still kept it playful. What's in right now isn't just about colour trends or cuts, it's about how you wear the look. Hania's recent appearances are proof that personal style beats Pinterest-board precision. She knows how to read the room, feel the energy of an event, and dress accordingly. In a season full of maxed-out outfits and overdressed guests, Hania's style felt like a breath of fresh air: glowy, light, and always fun. Whether it's sunlight or disco lights, she knows how to catch it.
