{:en} For days with no end; Hungry and thirsty, I was without poetry and you... My heart imagining; The memory of your hands, Touching me with love, Shaky and slowly caressing my tanned skin... Your blue eyes looking tenderly, begging for mercy, And surrounding us is a thousand stars... They were the witness to this last night. How I imagined to make love to you one last night. But I know then I would never have the courage to leave this town and this state, The furthest I needed to get away from you and us, I knew I would suffocate, You keep breathing love, I share my mask And we keep falling Out of love And I keep sharing Holding my breath And you are in...

{:en} “There is no such thing as losing hope and drifting in the dark. Remember, living under the same sky is a resistance.” —Nazim Hikmet What we call life is actually a resistance armor that we put on every morning. One day, a word, a painting, a moment reminds us of this truth like a slap. Taner Ceylan’s work “Boxer” is exactly such a reminder. A face covered in blood… but still standing. Just like the artist’s own life, just like our lives. Taner Ceylan tanerceylan.com Resignation, 2016, Oil on canvas, 200x140cm https://www.dropbox.com/t/SovqNlhD3n2SHyxe Taner Ceylan is one of the most valuable living Turkish painters. He is one of the most striking representatives of the hyperrealism...

{:en} Venus ends it journey in Gemini on May 7, 2023 and moves into Cancer, where it is exalted, peaceful and happy. It will continue to travel in the sign of Cancer for a month untilJune 5, 2023. Venus is known as the little benevolent and is our love language, the way we show our love, the way we give and take. It is about love and our bilateral relationships. Its placement and angles on our chart are very important. Of course, how we use that Venus is of great importance. Are we jealous? Are we possessive? How crazy are we in love? Can we risk everything for...

{:en} “If the mind is the kite, the breath is its rope.” I would like to start with this word that one ofmy dear teachers told me one day. The word Prana, which means breath, vital energy, vital force, comes from Sanskrit. “ayama” in the word pranayama means stretching, expanding, growing, extending/sustaining, and controlling. So “pranayama” can mean controlling the breath by extending and shortening it. The consciousness of 21st century people is so far away from realizing the perfect functioning of our body that we are not aware of what is going on inside our body. We think that our body will always work without even dwelling on...

{:en} Time has passed so quickly. A huge vacation with you is over and I'm back home. Now I am sitting in my summer house thinking about you. In my head, I made a 26-day accounting of my vacation that started on June 7th. Where I went, who I met, and how I lived it to the fullest. How much I missed being with you, your streets, buildings, friends, acquaintances, and most of your surprising weather. Can you have 4 seasons in one day? Yes, my London is with you. Everything is possible with you. I made unforgettable memories in the company of my close friends Muge & Trevor. As soon...

{:en} On November 13, 2023, we will experience a new moon at 20 degrees Scorpio. It will be the first new moon after the eclipse period. Mars, which will accompany the new moon, will have a double effect as it is also the ruler of Scorpio. The opposition of the unpredictable Uranus in the Martian new moon indicates that we will be under very challenging effects. In my opinion, this new moon will have the effect of both a new moon and a full moon with its effects. Expect the unexpected, beginnings but sudden endings... We are in a period when we need to act with common...
