Do you know anyone who has dual nature? Such two-faced zodiac signs are friendly but they gossip about others behind their backs. They can lie to you without batting an eyelid. However, detecting a two-faced person isn’t easy for everyone. They often compliment their friends when they achieve a goal or change their wardrobe. But they will make negative remarks about you to someone else. What other traits do two-faced people have?

3 Zodiac Signs Who Are Two-Faced

Cosmic beings, welcome to July! As the month begins, we’re fresh off the heels of the start of Saturn’s retrograde through Pisces, which means all zodiac signs are likely to be feeling sleepy, moody, and honestly, horny. Saturn retrograde tends to remind us of moments when we’ve been pushing ourselves to extremes and spreading ourselves too thin. This month is an invitation to infuse more relaxation and fun into our lives, especially as the Sun spends time in the sign of Cancer for the first three weeks of July before shifting into Leo on the 22nd.

In 2019, Refinery29 posted an article called Black Actors Are Getting Huge Roles In Hollywood, But Still Doing Their Own Hair outlining the “terrifying and high-anxiety” inducing reality of actors sitting in trailers on sets with artists unfamiliar with doing Black hair and makeup. That year, other Black actresses, including Natasha Rothwell‏, Yvette Nicole Brown, and Gabrielle Union, took to Twitter (now X) to discuss H&MU horror stories using the hashtag #ActingWhileBlack. A year later, Kat Graham went viral when she broke down crying during a video for Vogue about having to hide her natural hair for every role she had ever played (including The Vampire Diaries). “One day I wish I can play a character that I actually look like,” she said through tears. When I interviewed You star Shalita Grant in 2021, she talked about starting her own natural hair care line because her 4C hair was ruined on the set of NCIS: New Orleans. “They were committed to me hiding my natural hair, even though a curlier texture would have made a lot more sense in New Orleans,” she told me. “We were literally spending hours in the trailer to try to make my hair something that it wasn't… when I left that show, I had a bald spot in the center of my head.” Graham went viral again just last year when she got emotional in makeup pro Danessa Myricks’ chair because she was finally working with a Black artist. And earlier this year, Academy-Award winner Da’Vine Joy Randolph told me she had to fight “tooth and nail” for authentic Black hair and makeup in The Holdovers.

Neptune is the planet of illusion, romance and mystery, and from July 2 to December 7 it will be retrograde in its home sign of Pisces. Since Neptune retrogrades once a year for approximately five months, it’s a common phenomenon in the cosmos. Our intuition may be curtailed in the coming months, forcing us to look at things for how they are rather than how we wish they’d be. Even though it seems difficult, we’ll be able to muster ourselves and get through the process because we are stronger than we know.

The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.

Editor’s note: This article has been updated to include the exact industry standard testing method that Which? used for its testing. While we might choose sunscreen for how it looks and feels on our skin, or for its sustainability credentials, we tend to take for granted that it will do its basic job in protecting us. That’s why it was alarming to read the recent report by Which? — an organisation that reviews products and services — which scrutinised 26 sunscreens and found that three of them, including Bondi Sands SPF50+ Face Sunscreen Lotion, “failed” its UV protection tests.

Sha'Carri Richardson is officially an Olympian. After the controversy surrounding her Olympic run in 2021, the 24-year-old defied all odds and secured her spot on Team USA during the track and field team trials on Saturday, June 22. Richardson qualified for the Paris Olympics in July after sprinting to first place in the women's 100-meter dash. In an emotional race across the finish line, Richardson achieved the fastest women's 100-meter time in the world this year at 10.71 seconds. Her record-breaking achievement followed the buzz surrounding her first-place finish in a qualifying heat the day before. This career defining moment is one of many for the gifted runner. Her track record is stellar and she ranks as the world’s fourth female track and field star. The Dallas native quickly rose to fame for her lightning speed and signature style. Sports fans often compare the athlete to Olympic gold medalist Florence Griffth Joyner, also known as Flo-Jo, who was also recognized as one of the fastest Black female sprinters of all time. Richardson embodies Flo-Jo’s spirit with her long nails and unique hairstyles and looks primed for a similar track record. It’s also Richardson’s ability to rise after a major setback and resume the upward trajectory of her athletic career that makes the athlete’s Olympic bid a must-watch — because not all Black athletes are given grace.
