{:en} A Renaissance Tale of Nobility, Scandal, and the Birth of the Conservatory By Tugba YAZICI Let’s start with a little drama, shall we? 🙂 Yes, the title takes inspiration from Turkish novelist Elif Şafak’s Bastard and Father , but my story heads in a completely different direction. This isn’t about the book or the author, but about a very real “Father and Bastard” tale whispered through palace corridors, beneath mosaicked church ceilings, and echoed in the lives of the people who shaped the art world as we know it. THE BASTARDS OF THE MIDDLE AGES And the Children the Nobility Tried to Hide In medieval Europe; especially in France, Italy, England, and...

{:en} From Myth to Plate, from Pan to History— Welcome to Ephesus Tugba YAZICI Imagine a city where one of the world’s first billboards stands, where the first love stories were written, where the goddess Artemis once reigned, and the clashing swords of gladiators echoed through marble streets.

But wait — the city’s origin story is just as captivating as its present-day splendor. Allow me to take you on a mythic journey filled with prophecy, laughter, and a bit of smoke from a fish pan. A City Born of Fire, Fat,...

{:en} Happy birthday, Virgos! ❤ With the Sun in Virgo this week, practicality, organization, and a focus on efficiency are at the forefront. With Mars also in Virgo, the theme of “dedicated attention to detail” is further emphasized. As Venus, the ruler of Leo, moves through the final phase of its retrograde, inner awareness regarding relationships becomes more pronounced. Additionally, the first vibrations of the upcoming Pisces Full Moon at the end of the month will begin to be felt from midweek: The search for a balance between the energy of “letting go of control – surrendering to the flow” and “establishing systems” is noteworthy. ♈ Aries Rising This week, you are experiencing strong...

{:en} We are starting a week with many square angles (challenging angles). We will have difficulty in everything, but there is no evolution without difficulty, right? As we are challenged, we experience good and bad, right and wrong. As we experience, we learn and mature. Are our 20 years old and our 40 years the same? Let's move on to the sky... What will the sky bring us to experience and teach us this week? First of all, on January 23rd, Venus, the planet of love and money, moves into the cold weather sign Capricorn. Don't mind what I say cold, business people are of course not...
