{:en} A Life on the Other Side of the World By Melda Sherman — reporting from Boston In this story, I’ll quite literally take you to the other side of the globe — to the Southern Hemisphere, to Sydney, Australia. My guest, Buket Behçet Balaban, speaks candidly about not only what life is like in Sydney, but also how migration shapes a person’s outlook, resilience, and sense of belonging. This interview feels especially meaningful to me, as Buket is also a reader of my book Migratory Birds. I’d like to take this chance to thank her once again for our warm and heartfelt exchange. Buket Behcet BALABAN/ Sydney From Izmir to Sydney:...

{:en} My Dear and Valuable Readers, as of January 19, with the Sun moving into Aquarius, the determination and decisive atmosphere of Capricorn is replaced by the free image of Aquarius. Let's use the marginal aspect of Aquarius in our content this week. While Pluto Aquarius collectively blows the winds of change and transformation into our lives, it has started the period of the Angels. I decided to write a special content for you this week. In particular, I will be writing this information that I learned from Aleksander İmsiragic, and adding my comments to you this week, in a language specific to the Angels, until the end of...

{:en} Alice in Wonderland Value, and Art’s Test with the Market Miami Art Week & Art Basel have long moved beyond being merely art events; they stand as some of the most visible, influential, and debated platforms within the global contemporary art market. Shaped over more than two decades, this structure points to an ecosystem where art is discussed not only through its aesthetic dimension, but also through the production, circulation, and positioning of value. Throughout Art Week, Miami becomes a center that prompts reflection on the extent to which art functions as a creative field versus a strategic market force. Miami is a high-energy city, deeply connected...

{:en}I would like to start by wishing you all a healthy lifetime... Dear friends, you can't even imagine how excited I am. I have a pencil in my hand, I am sitting in my room on top of my notebook where I scribbled my last memories in high school. I skimmed through the pages... I came across ridiculous but beautiful memories. The initials of my childhood love in hearts, cartoon characters I illustrated, hanging men and strange doodles... Time flows like water, but the writings remain. This is exactly why writing makes me so happy. When you look back, you leave works that you are proud of. My...

{:en} We start the week with Mars-Chiron opposition and Mercury-Jupiter triangle. With the Mars-Chiron opposition occurring on September 25, we can talk about a period in which we are prone to carelessness, absent-mindedness and accidents. There will be impulsive behavior, so it is better to stay calm and get through this period without breaking your heart in order not to regret it later. The Mercury-Jupiter triangle will occur on September 25. This angle pattern is positive and will have effects such as success in commercial ventures, financial relief, personal development, and career advancement. Venus-Juno conjunction will occur on September 28. In this respect, relationships turn into seriousness...

{: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} We were peaceful and tranquil as children, but as we grew older, this peace was replaced with tension, anxiety, and the hustle and bustle of life. It is essentially ourselves, even though we initially sought peace and tranquility outdoors. We believe that happiness is a quick reaction that may be offered to us by people from the outside and that we can find tranquility in the things and experiences that the outside world offers. Let's take a moment to reflect: Have you ever been by yourself, silently relaxing your body with body motions and observing your thoughts while sitting down? Or have you ever expressed gratitude while...
