{:en} New order, new structure, new direction. A door to seriousness and reality.On the longest night of the year, when light rises at its latest point, a new door opens. The Capricorn New Moon, occurring on this date, calls for disciplined growth, not rapid expansion. Seeds are planted in the darkest hour of the night—because the soil is dark. This new moon does not grow grandiose projects, but nurtures solid foundations. Plans, not dreams, speak. Structure, not words. Stability, not emotion. This universal cycle tells us:“Whatever you are going to build, build it with patience. For this beginning takes time.”Below are the influences according to the rising...

{:en} May 3 – May 10, 2026 | ArtTmodernmiami GazetteThere are weeks when life does not move forward;it deepens. The week beginning May 3 unfolds exactly at such a threshold. The movements of the sky, particularly the lingering effects of the Scorpio Full Moon on May 1, draw us not outward, but inward. And this pull is not a surface-level introspection; it is a layered unfolding of awareness, often uncomfortable, yet undeniable.In astrology, Scorpio does not merely symbolize transformation. It governs the delicate line between control and surrender, power and loss, endings and rebirth. Under the influence of this Full Moon, matters that have long been suspended in...

In doing so, I will go over the topics with small nuances and I will aim for you to enjoy my article without making you think too much...

Indeed, art treats heals,...

{:en} Melda Sherman: Hello, can you tell us a little about yourself? What is your name? Berna Yeltekin: Hello, thank you for this interview. My name is Berna Yeltekin. I was born in Istanbul and grew up in a family where Turkish and American cultures blended. My family had lived in America for about ten years before I was born, but they decided to return due to homesickness and being away from loved ones. At home, we spoke Turkish, but English words sometimes slipped into our daily conversations. In a way, I grew up in a culturally "Americanized" atmosphere. As a child, I always felt the freedoms and comforts...

{:en} My Love and Valuable Readers, Love to all of you from the first Monday of February With the entrance of February, we are starting to lean towards more individualism. You will adopt more humanistic principles with completely free, innovative ideas in your life. Perhaps many of us will tend to take a courageous step toward things we could not do before. My advice is to check your liberation processes. We should always proceed by thinking “How will this decision I make affect me and my environment?” before taking a step. While Mars retrograde is already revealing the results of the choices we have made in the form of emotional crises...

{: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} Lately, I’ve realized that I keep circling around the same emotions. Life seems to keep taking things away from me, leaving behind a long silence before offering something new. At first, I thought that silence was “loss,” but now I understand it was actually “rebirth.” Because sometimes, life simply has no other way to make us grow. For a while now, I’ve noticed that everyone around me seems to be going through a change — a search of some kind. Some have started new jobs but still lack inner peace, while others continue to live in the shadow of old pain. We’re all living different stories, yet...
