{:en} Alice in Wonderland Value, and Art’s Test with the Market Miami Art Week & Art Basel have long moved beyond being merely art events; they stand as some of the most visible, influential, and debated platforms within the global contemporary art market. Shaped over more than two decades, this structure points to an ecosystem where art is discussed not only through its aesthetic dimension, but also through the production, circulation, and positioning of value. Throughout Art Week, Miami becomes a center that prompts reflection on the extent to which art functions as a creative field versus a strategic market force. Miami is a high-energy city, deeply connected...

{:en} Hello everyone! One of the remarkable aspects of the week is Jupiter Taurus - Pluto Capricorn trine. This aspect will occur at 11 degrees according to the sidereal zodiac, Hipparcos Ayanamsa, so those who have planets at 11 degrees according to this Ayanamsa in their natal charts will be most affected by this aspect (especially those in Capricorn and Taurus). When Jupiter in Taurus and Pluto in Capricorn form a trine aspect, it indicates a period of great transformation and growth in material matters. Jupiter's influence in Taurus strengthens our sense of financial growth, stability, and personal worth, while Pluto's presence in Capricorn brings profound changes in...

{: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} When mastectomy is performed for breast cancer, conserving the nipple-areola complex (NAC) may not always be possible. The surgeon decides whether the NAC will be preserved or not, according to the type and location of the tumor and the accompanying symptoms. Most of the time the breast reconstruction is performed simultaneously at the time of mastectomy. However, a staged approach is preferred if there is a risk regarding the vascularity of the tissues following mastectomy. Whichever method is preferred, NAC reconstruction is the final stage of the breast reconstruction journey. If the NAC cannot be preserved or it is lost due to complications following surgery, NAC reconstruction...

{:en} We start the week with a Mercury-Jupiter triangle angle. Both planets are in Retro position and there will be a period in which we will not be able to fully feel the positive impact expected from them. During this time, it would be best to complete the unfinished work that we want to grow and develop. . Unfinished education, unfinished projects, unfinished agreements, unfinished book writing work, unfinished cases... Venus-Uranus opposition will take place on December 21st. This angle will negatively affect our private lives. There may be sudden fights over trivial issues, the end of worn-out relationships, sudden separations and divorces may come to the...

{:en} How to choose a breast implant? There are several parameters to be evaluated while choosing an implant. In my practice, the most important parameter is the breast width. To obtain a natural result, the diameter of the selected implant should not exceed the width of the breast. The tissue thickness on both sides of the breasts should also be taken into consideration since they occupy a certain distance within the breast width as well. Skin quality of the breast, degree of ptosis, asymmetry, and chest wall deformities should be also noted. Nowadays, there are different tools to decide the size of an implant. Besides the measurements of certain...

{:en} This week, there will be a New Moon in Virgo. It will take place on September 15, 2023 at 04.40 on the map based on Ankara, the capital of the Republic of Turkey, and on September 14, 2023 at 21.40 on the map based on Washington, the capital of the United States of America. Since the ruler Mercury is in the Retro position at the time of the new moon, we must be very, very careful and stay away from all kinds of risks. It is possible that Neptune is at the opposite angle to the new moon, and we may encounter situations that will be...

{:en} In  the last ten years, meditation has grown from a purely spiritual practice into something that fascinates scientists too. Neuroscientific studies reveal that consistent meditation has the power to reshape how the brain works and even its physical structure. Research shows that meditation can positively change our brains, strengthening areas responsible for thinking, memory, and emotional control. As a result, we handle stress better, think more clearly, and focus more effectively. Consistent meditation also helps quiet the mind and sharpen attention. In addition, meditation may increase gray matter in the brain, which could help slow age-related decline in memory and cognition, providing advantages for both the young...
