{:en} For the third of my travel articles, this time I will tell you about Istanbul. My city is Istanbul! Before settling in America, Istanbul, where I was born, grew up, fell in love, had a lot of fun, was very sad, traveled, grew up, lived! Istanbul is one of the most exotic cities in the world. I always proudly say to people I've just met: “I come from Istanbul” and after saying that, I watched with pleasure the expressions of admiration and respect that appeared on the faces of the people in front of me. As a human being, I have a curious nature. I am curious...

{:en} Hello everyone! On May 8, 2024, there will be a Venusian new moon at 27 degrees Aries according to the Sidereal Zodiac (Hipparcos Ayanamsa). Those with planetary placements at 26, 27, and 28 degrees according to the Sidereal Zodiac in their birth charts will be most affected by this new moon (especially those in Aries). The most remarkable aspect of the New Moon is Mars Pisces - Pluto Capricorn sextile. This aspect allows us to take action to embody what we idealize. This is a period when we may desire to take action with our intuition. We may want to get out of our comfort zone for...

{:en} The crises in today's world are like a storm, hitting us from all sides and testing the resilience of humanity. Economic uncertainty, climate change, wars, rapid changes caused by technological transformation, and the disconnect in our social relationships are challenging us emotionally and physically. Constant vigilance leads us to create small but powerful solutions for ourselves. It also reminds us of the importance of values such as hope and solidarity. Maybe we're at a crossroads right now. What do you think? We are all caught up in the pressure of the speed of the modern world and find ourselves in the stage of life unprepared, even before...

{:en} We start the week with Mars-Chiron opposition and Mercury-Jupiter triangle. With the Mars-Chiron opposition occurring on September 25, we can talk about a period in which we are prone to carelessness, absent-mindedness and accidents. There will be impulsive behavior, so it is better to stay calm and get through this period without breaking your heart in order not to regret it later. The Mercury-Jupiter triangle will occur on September 25. This angle pattern is positive and will have effects such as success in commercial ventures, financial relief, personal development, and career advancement. Venus-Juno conjunction will occur on September 28. In this respect, relationships turn into seriousness...

{:en} Hello, today I will tell you about Mexico… I'm going to talk about Cancun, a city I've been to a few times because it's only 2 hours from Miami, and the historical sites nearby. It's also very close to the ancient city of Chechen Itza, one of the seven new wonders of the world. When you go to Cancun, you don't only experience Mexican culture, you can feel like you are in one of the coastal cities of the United States because it is a very modern and developed city. It is possible to come across many American brand restaurants and hotel chains. Since the most developed...

{:en} One of the concepts we’ve been hearing more and more in recent years is ‘frequency.’ But what does it truly mean? In physics, frequency is simply the rate of vibration. Everything in the universe, from atoms to cells, exists in a state of vibration. In spiritual terms, this concept takes on a more metaphorical meaning: it refers to the energetic expression of our emotions, thoughts, and states of consciousness. From this perspective, emotions such as fear, guilt, and anger are considered more ‘dense’ and lower-vibrational, while love, compassion, and awareness are regarded as higher-frequency. What this is really pointing to is the quality of a person’s...

{:en} We do not wake up in the same body every day. Sometimes lack of sleep, stress, the weather, or emotional intensity affects us. Our legs may feel tight, our shoulders tense, our breath shallow. Yet the mind often judges these shifts “Why can’t I do this?” or “It was easy yesterday—why is it hard today?” It begins to push the body too hard. This is exactly where the true meaning of yoga practice comes in. Yoga is not the art of doing a pose “perfectly.” It is the art of remaining present within the movement and listening to the messages your body sends. Not every pain needs...

{:en} This time my article is about surprises in life and unexpected friendships. It all started with a post on Facebook I saw in a migrant women's group. A young bride-to-be wrote that she would have a marriage ceremony in Puerto Rico and that her family could not attend the wedding due to visa problems. Many people commented below and wrote, "It is hard to be alone in expatriation, I hope someone will come." Since I was going to Denmark on July 16, it seemed difficult to go to the ceremony on July 14, but the feeling in the article touched me very much. On the one...
