{:en} A Life on the Other Side of the World By Melda Sherman — reporting from Boston In this story, I’ll quite literally take you to the other side of the globe — to the Southern Hemisphere, to Sydney, Australia. My guest, Buket Behçet Balaban, speaks candidly about not only what life is like in Sydney, but also how migration shapes a person’s outlook, resilience, and sense of belonging. This interview feels especially meaningful to me, as Buket is also a reader of my book Migratory Birds. I’d like to take this chance to thank her once again for our warm and heartfelt exchange. Buket Behcet BALABAN/ Sydney From Izmir to Sydney:...

{:en} Hello everyone! On September 3, 2024, there will be a New Moon at 20 degrees Leo according to Sidereal Zodiac Hipparcos Ayanamsa. Those with planets at 19-20 and 21 degrees according to Sidereal Zodiac Hipparcos Ayanamsa in their birth charts will be most affected by this full moon (especially those in Leo). The most remarkable aspect of the new moon is the Saturn Aquarius - Jupiter Taurus square. This aspect astrologically marks a period of significant tension and difficulty. It reflects Jupiter's energy of expansion, growth and opportunities clashing with Saturn's nature of discipline, restrictions and responsibilities. During this period, we may feel trapped between our desires...

{: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} Hello everyone, We start the week with Venus Aries - Pluto Capricorn square. Since this aspect will occur at 11 degrees according to the sidereal zodiac, Hipparcos Ayanamsa, those with planets at 10-11-12 degrees in their Natal charts will be most affected by this aspect and its effect will last for about 1 week (especially those in Aries and Capricorn). This aspect tends to bring tense situations, especially in relationships and financial matters. We may want to act impulsively in these matters and as a result, we may have to face some obstacles and experience radical changes. This aspect may indicate a deep transformation and structuring process...

{:en} This week’s sky asks: before beginning again, what do you truly value? ✦   ✦   ✦ The Week’s Sky The week opens on Sunday, October 4, with the Libra Sun opposing retrograde Saturn in Aries. Relationships, partnerships, and our sense of fairness may meet the realities of responsibility, boundaries, and time. Rather than promising quick results, this aspect can work as a useful reality check, showing which commitments are sustainable. Clear standards will be more productive than rigid reactions. On October 6, Mercury meets retrograde Venus in Scorpio, bringing past conversations, creative ideas, budgets, and emotional negotiations back to the table. A day later, Mars in Leo forms a supportive sextile...
