Origin
Vedic astrology signs depict your life events and fortune based on the theory of your karma as a soul and position of stars and planets at the time of your birth. Many astrologers can tell you about your previous life karma to justify the event happening in your current life.
Concept
Inspired by the Vedic astrology, each the 12 illustrations represents a part of the protagonist’s life according to the twelve houses. Each of those houses signifies a region of the concerns of life, and the identity of the sign of that house colours what may be expected from that life.
Synopsis
In a world where astrology becomes the basis of the Indian system, there is a process where at your 7th birthday, every kid gets to learn her/his future. All the joy and pain. This rite forces the children to comply to faith and walk straight into the life they’ve been given without any chance to aspire for another.
The life story of Akanksha is hidden behind every symbol, every representations, every line, following the Vedic Astrology House System.
