{:en} We start the week with two hard angles. Mercury-Neptune square and Mars-Uranus square. Mercury-Neptune square indicates deception, deception, deception, deception, self-deception. Mars-Uranus square, on the other hand, indicates anger, nervousness, sudden emotional outbursts, accidents, tension, heart, plans and projects being turned upside down unexpectedly. Let's not say every word that comes out of our mouth this week without thinking. Let's be careful in the steps we will take and stay away from unnecessary impulsive exits. Those with planetary placements around 20 degrees in the signs of Taurus-Leo-Scorpio-Aquarius in the natal chart will be more affected. Mercury will be in Cancer from June 27 to July 11,...

{:en} "Power corrupts, but absolute power corrupts absolutely" —-Lord of the Rings This article will critique one of my favorite movies, "The Lord of the Rings" and its philosophy.

The Lord of the Rings is interesting in terms of its subject! It consists of 3 parts....

{:en} We know many people in our lives who have overcome significant challenges and difficulties, emerging as heroes of their journeys. I like to call them "heroes of their mountains," and I want to write a bit about them and how we can be like them. We've all come across stories of individuals who have experienced profound traumas, such as war prisoners enduring the hardships of war, people with physical disabilities, whether from birth or acquired later in life, those who have battled diseases like cancer, or those who have faced significant personal losses. These stories serve as major sources of trauma. We hear these stories, and sometimes...

{: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...

{:en} Years passed.... Time slowly transformed everything. After all those hardships, Süreyya and Cem finally became American citizens. From the outside, life seemed to have finally fallen into place.Haluk, meanwhile, became a respected doctor at a hospital in New York. No one who sees him today could imagine that he once drove a taxi, or understand the conditions under which he arrived in America, or the struggles he endured. He had become a name people respected: Dr. Haluk Saygıner. Süreyya was still a smiling woman. But there are some smiles… that are only what appears on the surface. She had learned to hide everything she had lived through behind...

{:en} Hello everyone! On December 1, 2024, a New Moon will occur at 19 degrees Scorpio according to the Sidereal Zodiac and the Hipparcos Ayanamsa value. This New Moon will primarily affect those with planets around 18-19 and 20 degrees in their birth charts, especially those with placements in Scorpio. The most significant aspect of this New Moon is the opposition between Mercury (retrograde + anaretic) in Scorpio and Jupiter in Taurus. This opposition between Mercury in Scorpio and Jupiter in Taurus may deepen thought and analytical processes but may also occasionally cause this intensity to transform into a form of mental obsession. Thoughts may fixate on one...

{:en} For many years, performing arts drew their power from an unshakeable, invisible wall: the Fourth Wall. The audience would enter the hall, take their seats, the lights would dim, and the story would begin behind that boundary. The stage was an unattainable universe of illusion, while the audience remained a sterile observer, watching that universe from the outside. Today, that ancient wall is collapsing with a resounding crash. The rising new language of performing arts worldwide is no longer just about producing “watchable” works; it is about building habitats that can be entered, smelled, touched, and physically breathed in. The new generation of audiences, in particular, is weary of the...
