{:en} I love the holidays. The happiest and funniest of my childhood memories belong to the mornings of the feast. I remember when I was 9-10 years old in my pink dress, brand new patent leather shoes, and skirts flying up and down the stairs, trying to catch up with the holiday table, like today… My first article in our newspaper ‘ARTTMODERNMIAMI’ coincided with an American holiday, “Thanksgiving Day”. Now I would like to tell you about the “Candy Feast” celebration. Candy Feast mornings are special. After the 30-day fast, the breakfast table is very enticing… The hands of the elders are kissed, and the little ones are...

{:en} Yes, I am guilty. I know something. And I am brave enough not to confess what I know. Yes, I am brave. My essence will fill yours so completely that your soul will ache, your heart will sting— You will burn. Yes, I am afraid, still. If you cannot conquer your fear, you are human. And I am still human. But you—? At the wolves’ table, you lost the last trace of humanity within you. Then you wandered the nights too much and darkened as much as they did. You lay with vampires, rose with them. Yes, you drink blood. Sunny days are far from you. You have built a trap for yourself. And the hope it once gave is now a prison— Peace is gone, conscience is gone! Yes, I...

{:en} There are rooms  I have never known,  Seen but never entered.  My name is written on them,  My age is written on them,  On some, my destiny is written.  Some are ajar,  Some are locked.  Some are rooms of my heart,  Some of my mind,  And some are rooms of my soul...

{:en} Hello to all my dear readers, I hope this message finds you well. As the Sun progresses through Leo, Mercury remains in retrograde, Mars enters Libra (on August 6), and we approach the Capricorn Full Moon on August 9, a period of profound transformation, clarity, and inner alignment begins. Let us explore how this Full Moon may influence each sign: ♈ Aries Rising This week, your focus may shift toward children, romantic matters, and personal creativity. As Mercury retrogrades in Leo, you might feel drawn to revisit past issues—especially in communication—or rekindle an old creative project. With Mars entering Libra, you may feel a greater need for balance in relationships...

{:en} Order or surrender? This week, the sky brings both to the same table. THE WEEKLY SKY The final week of August is anything but ordinary. As the Sun moves through Virgo, a Partial Lunar Eclipse takes place in Pisces on August 28. And it happens across the Virgo–Pisces axis: reason versus intuition, control versus surrender, daily order versus spiritual and emotional needs. So, the central question of the week may be: “What in my life needs to be fixed and what do I finally need to stop trying to fix?” Virgo energy shows us the details. It notices what is missing and wants to organize, clean up, improve, and create a...

{:en} I woke up to the light today. Around me, there are gardens with all shades of purple, blue, yellow, and green. There are hundreds of birds chirping in the branches of the magnificent trees, the sound is like a piece of a nature documentary. A dog plays hide-and-seek with a city worker cleaning the port, having such fun it makes me smile. I am writing this article from Bodrum Bitez Mansion. There are hundreds of sailboats side by side in the harbor. A white cat is jumping from that boat to this boat. He is fed up with fish, he is looking for a game, as...

{:en} 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...

{:en} What to do on a frigid Boston day? If the weather temperature is negative and even the squirrels have retreated to their nests, a few ideas can be shared. My idea is not to have a hot coffee and sit on the favorite sofa and watch a good movie, although it's also a good idea, I will share a great interview with you…  I'm Melda Sherman; I'm here with my first interview for ARTTMODERNMIAMI NEWS. We are now heading to a mystical country as beautiful as the view of Boston Back Bay that I love so much… I will take you far from Boston just like my book...
