The Fault in Our Stars? Blame it on Mercury Retrograde

Jesselina, a fiery Scorpio, and Anahita, a determined Capricorn, dive deep into the world of astrology and the occult. As they navigate their own differences in belief systems, they explore how horoscopes have wormed their way into everything—from Hindu households to TikTok algorithms. How much does your star sign really shape your life? Friendship, dating, and beyond... Add a sprinkle of capitalism, a dash of AI, a pinch of socio-economic uncertainty, stirred by the rise of godmen in South Asia, and you've got yourself the ultimate modern-day cosmic cocktail.
