{:en} Art Basel Paris’s early shutdown raises a question about the art market that extends beyond visibility and sales to the distribution of risk. October 25, 2026 | News analysis The glass-roofed hall of the Grand Palais. Archive photograph; not the 2026 edition. When the final two days disappear from an art fair’s calendar, more than viewing time is lost. A collector expected over the weekend, a first face-to-face meeting, a painting someone planned to see again: these unfinished encounters never appear on a sales report. They are part of what remained behind the closed doors in Paris. Following an announcement on October 22, Art Basel Paris ended its 2026 edition...

{:en} We start the week with Venus-Chiron trine (positive). Ending resentments, reconciliation, and repairing the wounds in the heart will be on the agenda. If we use Chiron correctly, the wound in us will cease to be a wound and heal both ourselves and our environment. Venus, in its general meaning, rules love, affection and materiality. The positive aspect it will make with Chiron will give material and spiritual help with the creative power of love. Helping those in need will be healing for all of us with the power of divine love to create. On August 16, 2023, there will be a Venusian New Moon at...

{: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.

{:en} Sharm El Sheikh is a world-famous holiday destination with a stunning coastline along the Red Sea… The Pearl of Egypt… The Maldives of Egypt…My transition from the cold and rainy weather to the hot climate of Egypt is rapid. As I pass from the airport to the hotel, the first sign welcomes me to the city: "Welcome to the land of peace". During a short night journey, I witness the dark and illuminated parts of the city. The next day, in the first light of dawn, I take a walk along the endless beach of yellow and hot colors that meets the warm waters of the Red...

{: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.

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} Ever feel like your brain is buffering — even after your favorite cup of matcha? You sit down to work, but your focus drifts, your ideas seem uninspired, and by mid-afternoon, your mental energy feels completely drained. If that sounds familiar, the culprit might be closer than you think: your lighting. We routinely flip on overhead LEDs, stare at screens for hours, and spend most of our lives bathed in artificial light. Yet our brains evolved under natural sunlight—an environment that shifts in color and intensity throughout the day to help regulate our hormones, neurotransmitters, and circadian rhythms. Modern artificial lighting, however, bombards us with unbalanced wavelengths that...
