{: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 Most Genuine Way to Approach Art Murat Mete Agyar Hello dear readers, After a long break, it feels wonderful to write about art again… Today, I wanted to talk about a simple yet important question with you: How should we look at a painting? Many people stand in front of artworks wondering, “Am I interpreting this correctly?” But art is not always about understanding first ; sometimes, it begins with feeling.

For example, in a Mondrian painting, the black lines and primary colors are not merely...

For this reason, I suggest you follow your body measurements taken with a tape measure and body weight tracking, increasing your motivation during the weight loss process. Supporting hormonal and metabolic balances in...

{:en} I wanted to write a different article this time of year, drawing from my travel notes and reflecting on my experiences. I stepped into a new age in the last week of April. This year feels particularly significant because I’m celebrating my 35th birthday again! And I am always 35 now. 😊 Women know that this age is like a milestone. From now on, we will always say, “I am 35”, right?I update myself every birthday. It is like an internal software update… What I have learned from life, what I have felt, what tests I have passed… I take notes. This year, I wanted to...

{:en} We left behind 365 days. We started to open brand new pages, to experience, to live. As we enter a new year, we always think about what happened in the year we left behind. What we are thinking is wrong, because last year as it is called, is "a year gone by". Whatever happened, it happened and it's over. We continue our lives with the teachings of each age, getting older every year. We are filled with hope for each new year that begins. I expect great experiences, ideas, and self-improvement from each new year and get excited. One of my resolutions this year is to “be...
