{:en} “Venus is the seed of Uranus.” The meeting of these two planets in the earth element and fixed Taurus sign initiates a shocking enlightenment and redefinition process in the fixed structures of the material world (money, value judgments, body, security, relational stability). We should understand 29 degrees well. In astrology, 29 degrees is considered the “karmic crisis” degree. The last degree of Taurus sign expresses the breaking of a habit pattern from a past life regarding security, matter and possession. When Venus and Uranus meet at this point; “Do the things you own define you or do they hinder your freedom?” We should ask ourselves the question on a...

{:en} There are lists: things to do before death, places to see, etc. Here is Montecatini, one of the places you must see before you die! “But where exactly is Montecatini?” I can hear you say. Montecatini is a hidden paradise in Tuscany, Italy! Let me warn you the article contains a high dose of peace.☺️ During my bus journey from Florence, which took about an hour, I greeted every shade of green and got off the bus in Montecatini Terme, the center of healing.

{:en} Gives an Object Its True Value: Skill, Thought, or Originality? Murat Mete Agyar Dear Readers,    Today, I would like to explore three important concepts that are often used interchangeably: craft, design, and art.    Although these three disciplines frequently appear intertwined in everyday life, each is founded on a distinct philosophy of creation, a different way of thinking, and a unique purpose. While they all involve the act of making, the motivation behind their creation and the methods they employ are fundamentally different. Craft: The Aesthetics of Mastery and Repetition Craft is a form of production rooted in knowledge, experience, and manual skill. Traditionally, it is learned through the master-apprentice relationship and...

{:en} In this life, you must savor everything. You will gaze into your lover’s eyes for a long, long time, And you will see love Without ever looking away. The eyes of both of you Will smile from deep within. You will make love With the first light of morning, As if there were a Festival of Lovemaking. Every touch Will send a delightful shiver through you. Every kiss Will last for minutes. And the two of you Will grow pleasantly weary, Holding each other close. “Why do I love you So much, So beautifully?” you will ask. And you will say it again And again Throughout the day. Beril Yabar Image: From Beril Yabar’s private collection     Some poems are born of longing; others, of memories. This poem, however, was born...

{:en} Dear readers, as of the last week of July, the Sun moves into Leo. As the Sun enters Leo, the sign it rules, our vitality, willpower, and inner light take center stage. This is a powerful time for bold self-expression, allowing our creative essence to shine as we embrace our roles on the stage of life. However, this year’s Leo season is anything but ordinary. The Sun forms a harmonious trine with both retrograde Saturn (in Pisces) and retrograde Neptune. This means: A deep inner harmony is forming between dreams (Neptune) and structure (Saturn). The Sun becomes a living bridge connecting the two. What you once considered “just a dream” now...

{:en} There is a certain beauty in being alone. A quiet dinner at home, a solo workout, a walk through the city without anyone to rush you. These moments of chosen solitude can feel like a reset. A way to hear your own thoughts without the noise of other voices. They are not about loneliness, but about presence. About enjoying your own company. And yet somewhere between a peaceful Friday night spent reading and another weekend passed without a single real conversation, the line begins to blur.The truth is, solitude is not measured in hours but in intention. Cooking alone after a long day might be nourishing...
