Dua Lipa suing Samsung for $15 million for allegedly using her image on TV packaging
Indoor skydiving. My extensions got tangled. Never again. Hey, I’m Dua Lipa, and today I’m gonna find out how much I know about myself based on astrology, and I’m about to be read for Phil by the Astro twins. So we are going to walk you through your birth chart. So Dua, you’re *** Leo, you are *** fire sign, passionate. That’s the essence of who you are. But your rising sign is Gemini, which makes you *** bit more analytical, more willing to share the spotlight than most Leos, very collaborative. And then your moon is in. Cancer. So, in comes this like sensitive private emotional self. So you have this range that you inhabit and are able to tap into as tools for yourself when you need. I like that. Does that cancer moon just drive you crazy? Yeah, I mean, that’s definitely my big emotional side. Do you follow the moon, like the new? I do follow the moon. Probably do your best creative work then. Yeah, there’s *** lot of adrenaline at that time. It’s just like go, go, go, go, go. Well, kind of *** secret nerd, right? Definitely, yeah, massive bookworm for sure, and the Mercury and Virgo. You think about things in *** very systematic way, don’t you? Yeah, I’m *** planner for sure, which is not very Leo. No, but I’m also Leo Virgo cusp, like I’m one day before. Yeah, you’re that very last bit, Leo, but you’re still *** Leoh. And you know, you’re in your Saturn return now. Oh yeah, you probably got *** lot of foreboding news about that. But the Saturn return could be one of the most amazing times. It really is when you come into your own. Are you feeling like, I feel like life is starting to make more sense 100%. I feel like I’m being propelled into *** completely new part of my life. Yeah, yeah, yeah. See how much of *** Leo Leo you are. So duo, when it comes to attention, you are *** avoiding it at all costs, B, equally giving and receiving it, or C, the center of it. Uh, I think B ding ding ding. That’s right, giving and receiving. Sometimes when I’m on stage. I’m performing or I’m in, you know, *** certain version of myself. I enjoy the attention, of course, because I’m there presenting myself in that in that way. But I think in my everyday life, it’s *** very big push and pull. Yeah, that’s something Leo’s get *** bad rap and like oh they’re spotlight hogs, but they’re really generous and big hearted, at least the good ones like you. I was very much the kid that when my parents would have friends around, I’d be like, I’m gonna put on *** show and everyone has to watch me, and it would drive them mad, but now they’re trying to get tickets, yeah. Question 2, on vacation, we can find you *** asleep, B on the dance floor with the locals, or C, brainstorming by the pool. Dancing with the locals. OK. Well, we had C for you, but brainstorming by the pool. That is, I was. I stuck between B and C. There’s *** big part of me that just loves to go out and experience *** place, but then I do so much of my thinking and my writing and stuff in my down. These are all kind of your big’s your chart. Yeah, I think I resonate with, you know. Your biggest fear is being ordinary, ***, B heights, C, heartbreak. I have being ordinary. Yeah. Yep, 100%, Leo there. I feel that, yeah, for sure. You will always prioritize ***, *** good time, B, perfecting your work, or C, rest. Oh my God, it’s definitely not C, that’s for sure. B, perfecting my work, so then I can do ***, right. Which is enjoying every moment, but yeah, it’s, it’s always about perfecting the work first. Like my dad always had this saying, never leave today’s job for tomorrow, and it’s something that’s lived with me. Like I always make sure that I finish everything that I have to do so that I can chill. Do you wake up like the ready to go. Yeah, pretty much. I’m not *** snoozer at all. Like I hate the snooze button. I’m very much like. Alarm off, out of bed, wake up, work out, shower, get ready, go to work, you know, whatever it is, it’s all down to the, to the minute. I’m Gemini rising can be very nervous and analytical and needs, needs to know what’s happening. Otherwise you start to spin, right? Like the, what’s next? What’s next? Yeah. If you weren’t *** performer dua, you would be *** fitness instructor, be *** life coach, or see *** famous author. God, I don’t know. Uh, maybe an author. I mean, I like to write. So I think that’s, that’s probably the closest to songwriting I could get. One of the things your chart shows is that you really have *** strong destiny to be some sort of *** community organizer, *** teacher, *** trainer where it’s not enough for you to just go out and do it all for yourself. You want to share it and bring people along. I like to do things together. Like I also feel like things are way bigger than just me. You’re like an un- Leo Leo in *** lot of ways. There’s sometimes some Leo’s that I’m like, I’m just not like that. It’s very different. Your go to movie genre is *** chilling horror film, ***, B, heightened drama, or C, *** classic romantic comedy. Uh, I think *** heightened drama is me, or even *** classic rom-com, like I’m such *** sucker for *** rom-com, but I don’t know. OK, well that’s the one, see. The rom-com, yeah, well, actually my favorite film is Notting Hill. But nothing rocks me like *** good drama. Uh, Leo’s ideal first date is ***, something adventurous, B, dinner and drinks, or C, *** walk in the park. Oh, my ideal first date, *** walk in the park. *** walk in the park. OK. Well, that’s not very Leo of you, because there’s something. That is my ideal. What’s the worst first date you’ve ever been on? Indoor skydiving. Oh, horrible. My extensions got tangled. I was not having fun. Never again off the bucket list done by. *** shark is approaching. You *** swim away at the speed of light, b, summon your animal instincts to let it know you’re the boss, or C, freeze and hope for the best. Summon your animal instincts and that. No, you’re the boss. Yeah. So what inspired your album cover? Speaking of sharks, the feeling of the juxtaposition of danger and calm, and those two kind of worlds colliding in the album cover. I’m very peaceful in the moment. I feel like that essence gives me so much radical optimism in the sense of everything’s gonna work out and it’s gonna be fine. You know, I’m not going to get eaten by the shark. That’s very fitting for Saturn returning. And Pisces is the sign of the fish and the deep ocean, right? Saturn is the boss. The city that’s not home but feels like it is ***, Mexico City, B, Paris, or C, New York. Oh, that’s really hard. Um, gosh, I don’t know, like all of them. I’ve said that I could so easily live in Mexico City. I love it there so much. It’s my favorite like food city in the world. Paris, I have *** lot of friends again, *** great food and wine place like that’s *** good time. Time and New York is just busy and bustling and it’s hard to choose. I have no idea. Well, we picked Mexico City. OK, that was my first instinct. Yeah, yeah, you have Jupiter the traveler in Sagittarius, the side of traveling. So you are *** world citizen. Mexico City. I know there’s something magical there for me.
