How is your relationship with coffee?
Coffee is an indispensable drink for me that calms me down, sometimes helps me breathe easy, and helps me produce more practical solutions during the day… However, it is not delicious on its own. It will definitely be accompanied by a double-roasted Turkish delight or a friendly chat…
You have a medical and insurance background…
When I look back, I actually had certain criteria for choosing a profession. I definitely had to have a profession that was respected by society (laughs). I was approaching the subject with an idealistic perspective outside of real life standards. Among my ideals, I said I would see patients for free one day a week. However, while I was receiving medical education, I had started to have question marks about advancing in this profession. Our stars could not reconcile, but I worked anyway. After graduating, I could not pass the specialty exam and worked as an emergency physician. One of the loss of life situations I frequently encountered, a death incident that occurred after the 1999 earthquake, raised some awareness in me. When I discovered that I did not want to be in such close contact; I started looking for another way. At that time, insurance companies had started to employ doctors. I worked in this sector for 13 years. However, this time, I had to be in contentious communication with all parties due to the patients' health policies. This was also quite tiring.
When you look back at your own chart, do these quests appear?
There is definitely. Insurance and money matters are viewed from the same area in the chart. Death and beyond death issues as well… There is healing potential in my chart. You can interpret this as white coat healing or as the awareness you create in individuals in line with astrological analysis… The money you earn from astrology and the money you earn from insurance are in a similar place.
And astrology… What happened that started this journey?
In the last 3-4 years of my business life, I was saying, "I am unhappy and I want to resign." Instead of starting from scratch, I was postponing my resignation so that I could at least be in a company I knew and knew. There was more than 10 years of hard work involved. It is not easy to act without an alternative. I started looking for another area that would intersect the unhappiness in business life with happiness . There was no course I didn't take at that time. From Ottoman cuisine to web design... Instead of getting stuck in the negativities of business life, I was saying, let my job at least have a financier in order to find the area that would make me happy. A person wants to find peace in at least one area of their life. As long as they don't carry their other restless sides there, the risk of being affected decreases. After each course I went to, I was also looking to see if it could turn into a job. This period passed with indecision. If you are stepping into the void, you will accept that your money will be zero. It is not easy to make this decision.
I wanted to meet with a friend who I believed had business intelligence, I shared my business idea with him and offered him a partnership. I explained and explained with my reports that predicted we could get dealerships. He listened and listened, then dismissed it. He said, "You can't start a business this season, I started astrology, let's go together ." I stepped into this field, which I had no education or detailed knowledge of, just for fun. From that moment on, my life began to undergo a serious change . My perspective on life, people and relationships changed. I started looking at events with a solution-oriented perspective. I didn't start to be happier in the workplace, I just realized that this line of work didn't suit me. That's how I discovered my own alternative line of work.
What do the things you see on our map tell us?
You see the possibilities in front of you. You see what can happen to you, what can happen, not what you will choose, but what can happen if you choose. In other words, it does not give you an answer. It presents you with possibilities and wants you to determine your own destiny with your own choice. It presents us with possibilities so that we can choose.
What is interpreted in a map?
The birth chart consists of symbols that show the positions of the planets in the sky at the time of a person's birth and in the geography where they were born. Astrology is actually the art of reading these symbols and interpreting them. In order to do this, it is necessary to receive intensive and comprehensive training, in other words, to have the knowledge to interpret them. While interpreting the chart, we have the chance to evaluate all areas of a person's life and see what was promised to them when they came to this life. There is a chance to evaluate many issues such as their relationship with money, which professions they can choose, what kind of approach they will have while practicing their profession, what their potential is in terms of spouses and marriages, family relationships, which diseases they may be prone to and their general body resistance, their potential to have children, etc. Of course, the most striking of these is how a person can progress on their spiritual journey and what learning and developing will serve their purpose in life... Interpreting a birth chart allows a person's life to be more fluid and purposeful. It makes it easier for a person to look at the events and relationships they experience with more questioning eyes and to see the meanings behind everything.
