{:en} The other day, my sister sent me a video; a talk by Gündüz Vassaf. He said something that stirred something inside me. “We are all born mad,” he said. “But it is hard to stay mad.”At first, I laughed when I heard it. Then I stopped. Because it’s true. Look at a child they dance without fear, laugh for no reason, draw without rules. No one calls them “mad,” because they haven’t yet learned what it means to be “normal.” That freedom, that lack of rules, that creativity… it’s all still intact. The world hasn’t yet forced its shape onto them.Then comes order. School comes, expectations come, “that’s...

{: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} Why do we get wrinkles? Like the muscles in our entire body, the striated muscles on our face contract and relaxvoluntarily. In our daily life, we involuntarily use our facial muscles frequently when weunconsciously look at the screen or squint our eyes on a sunny day, and as a result, the wrinkles on our face become evident. Frequent repetition of our mimics with advancing age causes these wrinkles to settle and deepen over time. With the increasing degree of wrinkles, the skin reflects less light, and the face has a more shadowy and tired appearance. How does botulinum toxin work against wrinkles? When does the effect start and...

{:en} This week’s sky asks: before beginning again, what do you truly value? ✦   ✦   ✦ The Week’s Sky The week opens on Sunday, October 4, with the Libra Sun opposing retrograde Saturn in Aries. Relationships, partnerships, and our sense of fairness may meet the realities of responsibility, boundaries, and time. Rather than promising quick results, this aspect can work as a useful reality check, showing which commitments are sustainable. Clear standards will be more productive than rigid reactions. On October 6, Mercury meets retrograde Venus in Scorpio, bringing past conversations, creative ideas, budgets, and emotional negotiations back to the table. A day later, Mars in Leo forms a supportive sextile...

{:en} Most of my writings are inspired by natural, colorful miracles of the earth. Thisbtime, my pen reaches you from Istanbul, where I came for holiday. I am on the shores of the Sea of Marmara, where the world's few historical structures dance with the deep blue waters of the Bosphorus that are sometimes turbulent and sometimes silent. While there is a high construction and a lively crowd around it, suddenly, the mischievous children of the Bosphorus, the dolphins, pass through the vast waters. People traveling on the famous ferries, which are considered among the symbols of the city, throw bagel crumbs to feed the seagulls enthusiastically...

{:en} Hello everyone! On November 1, 2024, a New Moon will occur at 19 degrees Libra according to the Sidereal Zodiac Hipparcos Ayanamsa value. Those who will be most affected by this New Moon are individuals with planets at 18, 19, and 20 degrees in their natal charts, particularly those in Libra. The most notable aspect of the New Moon is the Venus in Scorpio – Jupiter in Taurus opposition. This aspect allows us to establish deep emotional connections in our relationships while also prompting us to question our pursuit of material values and security. While this aspect may enhance our desire for passion and loyalty, it can...

{:en} How many times a day are we on autopilot?Do we ask, “Why did I open this app?” as we reach for our phone?Or do we remember to ask, “Do I really need it?” when shopping? Living consciously requires staying alert not only in physical choices but also in emotional, mental, and spiritual planes. Who do we spend our time with? What do we spend our money on? Where do we channel our energy? Each of these is a choice, and we make most of them unconsciously. Then we find ourselves tired, scattered, and not knowing why we feel this way. We ignore the signals our body gives...
