{:en} Denmark, one of the countries I wanted to visit, attracted my attention. A country tops the list of happy people like other Scandinavian countries. We preferred to start our Interrail train trip from there. I flew from Miami to Copenhagen Airport. Since hotels in Copenhagen were very expensive, we chose to stay in Malmö, Sweden. Thanks to our İnterrail pass tickets, the trains did not cost us anything extra and it was always a pleasure to cross the beautiful Öresund Bridge on our way from Denmark to Sweden. Öresund is the world's largest cross-border bridge connecting the two countries and both land vehicles and trains can...

{:en} Yoga is a practice that balances body and mind; it can also be effective in weight loss. However, yoga is not directly like a cardio exercise that burns calories quickly but helps control weight more holistically. When done regularly, it can speed up metabolism, strengthen muscles, and contribute to weight management by balancing stress-related eating habits. Especially dynamic yoga types such as Vinyasa, Power Yoga, and Ashtanga Yoga increase calorie burning with brisk movement flows. These types support fat burning in the body by increasing the pulse and help tighten the muscles by strengthening them. Hatha Yoga, a calmer yoga practice, can help shape the body in...

{: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} The famous communication planet Mercury, which we are all familiar with from the media, begins its retrograde. It will begin its retrograde motion at 15 degrees Taurus on April 22, 2023, and it will retrograde until it reaches 5 degrees Taurus by May 14, 2023. In fact, Mercury is not retrograde, but appears to be going backwards to us because it is slowing downrelative to the Earth's rotation rate on its axis. It just slows down. The slowing down of the speed of a planet means that it causes disruptions in the matters it represents. If the speed of the planet increases, being out of bounds...

{:en} Hello everyone!On November 16, 2024, a Full Moon will occur at 3 degrees Taurus according to the Sidereal Zodiac Hipparcos Ayanamsa value. Those who have planets at 2-3 and 4 degrees in their natal charts, particularly those in Taurus, will be most affected by this new full moon.

This aspect allows us to deeply question our communication style and thought processes, while it may also affect our pursuit of material values and security. This process can heighten our desire to express our thoughts more intensely and passionately,...

{:en} “You are redefining your self-expression, your voice, your power, and your creative identity.” Dear readers, Mercury retrograde begins in Leo, and the week of July 21–27 marks the most intense period of transformation and introspection during this retrograde. Leo is associated with self-expression, stepping into the spotlight, creativity, ego, and heart energy. Mercury, on the other hand, governs the mind, communication, perception, thought, writing, and speech. Therefore, until August 11: Our modes of expression will slow down and undergo reorganization. The desire to “express oneself” may retreat into inner silence. Words used in writing, speaking, social media, presentations, performance, leadership, and relationships will come under review. An internal “voice editing” process begins; “Is this...

{:en} Sometimes people go through life-changing moments that make them feel lost, hurt and unsureabout where to go next. Imagine a woman who has just ended an eight-year relationship after finding out her partner was unfaithful. She feels like her entire world has collapsed.

Her journey is not just something she lives through, it also becomes something she gently sharesonline, in short videos with soft music and thoughtful captions and long descriptions. A quiet moment of sadness,...
