{:en} I’m Selina, writing from Vienna. From now on, I’ll be contributing monthly articles for ArtTmodernmiami. I’m pursuing my master’s degree in clinical psychology after completing my bachelor’s. I grew up with both Turkish and Austrian cultures, and this mix is a big part of who I am. Since starting my psychology journey, I’ve been fascinated by understanding the human mind. While psychology has always fascinated me, my internship in a psychiatric ward truly helped me understand the field's deeper challenges and the real impact it can have on people's lives. “So, why psychology?” My answer is simple. Helping others just feels natural, so psychology seemed like the perfect...

{:en} Hello, dear friends. How have you been since our last meeting? I hope life is treating you well. A new year has arrived, and January is nearly behind us. Each morning, I wake up and greet the day with a warm smile, and every night, I go to bed feeling grateful, still wearing that same smile. As I drift to sleep, my mind often wanders to the memories of places I’ve traveled, or sometimes, I find myself dreaming up plans for my next adventure. Both bring me immense joy. This month, I’d like to share a winter’s tale with you. Are you ready to hear it?...

{:en} In such big cities all over the world, you sometimes feel so tiny, as if you are an ant, running and working all the time. This feeling of smallness, busy working life, inability, and inadequacy to manage time, as well as the psychological attacks we experience from time to time, and various traumatic events sometimes small and sometimes big, annoy us even more. Especially these situations that we experience in our business life increase this negative mood. The name of this psychological terror, harassment, intimidation, and self- confidence-breaking behavior in the workplace is mobbing. We can experience similar behaviors not only in business life but also...

{:en} A match is found, a conversation begins and suddenly two strangers find themselves exchanging words that might lead to something or nothing. The process is simple. Dating apps have become a natural part of life. Whether used in search of love, marriage or even new friendships, they now shape how many people connect with others. Besides that, connection there comes a psychological impact that happens without being noticed. The moment a match is made, a subtle mental mechanism is activated. The small rush that follows can feel validating. Attention from others especially when it comes in rapid succession often leads to repeated checking of the app,...

{: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...

{:en} We start the week with the Sun-Pluto sextile (positive). There will be situations such as receiving support from authority figures, advancing in the career field, and increasing self-confidence. Mars-Pluto sextile angle will occur on November 22. In this respect, we may feel powerful, but if we use this power negatively, it will be inevitable for us to be defeated. On November 22, the Sun moves into Sagittarius. Happy birthday, dear Sagittarius. The periods when the Sun moves into Sagittarius are generally suitable times to receive education, specialize in a subject, learn a foreign language and go on travels. Venus-Chiron opposition will occur on November 22. There...

{:en} —Frida Kahlo Ah, these feelings, right? You try to drown them, they grab a life jacket. You fling them into the air, they parachute back down. You try to burn them, and somehow they jump straight into the “save in case of fire” box. You try to bury them underground and they’ve already dug a tunnel, tirelessly, relentlessly. After all that resilience and insistence, they still find their way back to you. You say, Didn’t I bury this a few years ago? But nope! there it is again, popping up like a ghost: “I’m baaaack!” You insist, But I threw this into the deepest sea last month....

{:en} Venus Changes Signs Dear readers, Venus is changing signs as of the second week of July. While this transit effect continues until the end of July; When Venus leaves behind its fixed and deeply bonding nature in Taurus and moves into Gemini, our understanding of love and value begin to be reshaped through mental mobility, curiosity and communication. This transition is like a wave of air that lightens our love language on a collective level and carries our relational contacts to the ground of speaking, writing, learning and sharing. Here, Venus is in love with words, not emotions. It attracts ideas more than looks, and seeks mental...
