We start the first day of the year with a Venus-Saturn square. We can talk about a difficult process in relationships and financial matters. We may have difficulty feeling love. We can question the love of the other person. During this period, we can get through this process without being exposed to the negative effects of the angle by fulfilling our responsibilities and, if necessary, leaving our comfort zone. On January 1, Jupiter ends its Retro motion and begins its direct motion. On January 3, Mercury ends its Retro motion and begins its direct motion. Communication will flow more easily. The Venus-Jupiter quincunx will take place...

This week, there will be a New Moon in Virgo. It will take place on September 15, 2023 at 04.40 on the map based on Ankara, the capital of the Republic of Turkey, and on September 14, 2023 at 21.40 on the map based on Washington, the capital of the United States of America. Since the ruler Mercury is in the Retro position at the time of the new moon, we must be very, very careful and stay away from all kinds of risks. It is possible that Neptune is at the opposite angle to the new moon, and we may encounter situations that will be...

We will be starting the week with the Mercury-Neptune square. With the square between Mercury and Neptune on January 8, we must be careful not to be deceived or deceived in every matter. Not everything we see, hear, or say may be true. There may be absent-mindedness, lack of concentration and distraction. You may find yourself in games that you would never even think of. The Sun-Uranus triangle will occur on January 9. We may be faced with unexpected and positive developments. Mars-Saturn sextile angle will occur on January 10. We are going through a process in which we will be rewarded for the responsibilities we...

How long can you stay in silence? Have you ever thought? What can you do in a quiet environment? So, what does this silence mean to you?Being silent is traditionally associated with meditation. You can remain silent while doing sports, doing yoga, reading a book, or eating.
What is the call of silence for you?"We live in the age of noise. Silence is almost extinct," says philosopher and adventurer Erling Kagge. Let's start with meditation first. Because silence helps us be in the moment. Our mind is full and thinks more effectively when it is silent. Things that cannot be taught through modern education can be realized...

When I traveled to Jamaica, I thought about how much forest and water there is on this island. Xaymaca, the first name given here by the Arawaks, the island's natives, means "land of trees and water". Over time, it became known as Jamaica.
Our first stop in Jamaica was Montego Bay, a two-hour flight from Miami. A friend of mine, a professional tour guide who loves traveling very much, had come to visit me in Miami. With her sudden decision, we bought the ticket and found ourselves on this Caribbean island without doing much research.Since planned trips reminded us a little bit of our profession, traveling with...

When evaluating nutritional status, it should be taken into consideration that each individual's metabolism is different and that their body may react differently to different foods. Genetic, environmental, socio-economic conditions, intestinal barrier integrity, presence of dysbiosis, exercise, hormone levels, stress, etc. Many factors can cause foods to be perceived as friend or foe by the body. Food intolerance or non-allergic food sensitivity is the term used for various physiological responses associated with compounds found in foods. Although a food, beverage, food additive or a compound found in food may cause symptoms in one or more organs and systems, we cannot talk about true food allergy here....
