Abdullah and Fadime Halil were newlyweds, young and in love. Abdullah felt lucky to finish university and to obtain a government job as an accountant. When the 1977 elections held no victor; however, he could feel the tensions rise in the city. One by one coworkers fled or disappeared or they asked him for money and favors. Arriving to work to find his desk in disarray and records missing, he called home and instructed Fadime to pack their bags. To his surprise she was quietly already doing so, a terrifying note left on the door. Abdullah, despite the lowly appearance of his job, had come across evidence that could sway support in a coup d’état. His choices were to lose his honor or his life; moreover, failure to decide fast enough would result in his and Fadime’s death.

The decision to seek asylum in the United States was not an easy one, but Abdullah had hoped he could find another accounting job in a big city. Having heard the great New York City immigration stories of old, he thought it would be a nice place to start his new life. It was a long process to be approved to leave Turkey and a longer process still to become U.S. citizens. Abdullah had tried and tried again to find a respectable job as an accountant, but no one would take him, prejudice and politics slammed door after door in his face. With family back home expecting him to pay their way to America too, he took a job as a cab driver and Fadime cleaned houses. After a few smart remarks, Abdullah wiggled his way into an accounting position for the cab company, giving it the opportunity to expand and for him to get the letters of reference he was lacking in his field so that he could get that ‘respectable’ job.

If there was one thing the immigrants never pictured it was a life lived paycheck to paycheck. With time it became more complicated with both of their parents crammed into their one bedroom apartment. While this provided Fadime and Abdullah with free childcare, by the time their third child was on the way, they had enough and Abdullah applied to jobs and pled with people to pass his name along. He did the taxes of people in the building, offered his services for minimal fees for the shops on their streets, and, then he got an unexpected call for a phone interview. The town of Cape Elizabeth, Maine was looking for an assessor and a friend of a friend had heard of him, a hardworking family man looking to get out of the big city. Naturally, they took the plunge.

Moving to Cape Elizabeth proved to be an absolute blessing. The government job provided them with temporary housing until they could buy a home on Abdullah’s new salary. That salary and the cost of living gave them a three level home where the grandparents took the basement, family time was shared in the center, and the upstairs rooms gave a master to Abdullah and Fadime, a soft pink room to their eldest child, Ayşe, a room off equal size and painted green to their middle child, Yasin, and a small nursery to their incoming boy, Emirhan. Unfortunately, life could not be so simple for the Halils and their extended family. On November 3rd, a heavy snow had fallen and as the ambulance took Fadime and Abdullah to the hospital for the birth of Emirhan, the crowded station wagon carrying all four of Emirhan’s grandparents and his two siblings lost control and crashed into the woods. The ambulance drove on, sending out a call for help as the stress sent the couple into further panic.

Only Ayşe and Yasin had survived the crash, but the trauma of sitting in a freezing car with blood and death of their love ones haunted them. Ayşe, who was nearly ten, suffered from night terrors. Yasin, at age six, began to act out or refused to speak at all, and there seemed to be no rhyme or reason behind his extreme mood swings. While Abdullah continued to work, Fadime stayed at home, caring for the children to the best of her ability, and pouring as much hope and love into Emirhan as possible. He seemed, for all intents and purposes, a happy baby. She had tried to have him made aware of his grandparents by wrapping him in their clothes and telling him stories, but once he could crawl he seemed to roam around too much for such things. Fadime packed up the rooms and left little of their memories out, which seemed to help Ayşe and Yasin. Then, Emirhan began to talk and the family was given a great shock.

Despite Ayşe and Yasin speaking solely English, Emirhan’s first words were in Turkish. He would walk to the shelf and touch the pictures and say “Merhaba dede!” or “Seni özledik”. While some parents may have found that sweet, the Halils were staunch Turkish Muslims that believed in Jinn and the Evil Eye. They feared for their son and put talismans in his room and Qu’ran verses in the common areas of the home. As he grew up and became more curious, Emirhan stumbled across the boxes of his grandparents belongings and found himself fascinated by them. He snuck item after item back to his room. Where he found stories and communication in the objects, relaying that to his family had concerning responses. For example, he brought up Dede’s watch and the inscription on the back, a verse about love and how it had been recited at Fadime and Abdullah’s wedding. They were surprised to hear it, but then more concerned when Emirhan looked to his siblings and said Dede wanted Ayşe and Yasin to carry love and happiness in their lives too. Was it wisdom or a curse?

They hoped their son was observant and intuitive, but they scolded him when these things happened in public to strangers. Emirhan learned slowly to keep his psychometry to himself, his own parents refusing to believe it, despite the evidence. The Halil children went through school and were considered to be odd. This led to different lifestyle choices and interests for each of the children, but also increased the bond between them, despite their age differences. However, Emirhan remained the sort of odd child out. Regardless of people believing in Heaven or Hell, ghosts and demons, a spirit world or intuition, Emirhan believed in what he saw or heard and always trusted his gut. In the end, that decision, despite his decision to not discuss his belief in psychometry (once he could put a word to the skill) would save lives and put others at peace.

With no fear of death and little interest in spending an excessive amount of money or time in school, Emirhan chose to be a mortician. However, to prevent being a burden on his father, who was already paying for the tuition of his older siblings, he chose to do so in the military. The idea alone terrified Abdullah and Fadime, but they let him go because they knew he was too strong willed to be told no. With their consent, he enlisted in the United States Navy, completing his training at Fort Lee, Virginia in 2011 before finding out he would immediately be sent to Afghanistan. Emirhan was fluent in Turkish and English, understood Arabic and could read it, and he was competent in Spanish, which he had taken in high school. Knowing he would be going to the Middle East encouraged him to learn Pashto and Dari, two similar languages, and to perfect his Arabic.

On paper, the job description was this: In a small unit of two or three Hospital Corpsmen and with volunteer security or local support, Emirhan would search areas for hasty or unmarked graves, unburied dead, personal effects, and identification media. They would also prepare, preserve, and ship the remains. This meant that he would frequently be in danger and then travel out of Afghanistan to Germany, Korea, or Puerto Rico, depending on the circumstances of his findings. In most cases, his trips were back to Germany and the remains made the next trip without him. As a result, Emirhan decided, after a couple of years of living on the Ramstein Air Base when he wasn’t in Afghanistan, he decided to rent a flat in Frankfurt.

Given the significantly higher rates of PTSD in his field, the military morticians were given longer and more regular periods of leave. Emirhan regularly uses these breaks to attend funerals in the states, leaving letters on the graves of those that have passed, to be found by the families. Passing on what he is given has largely been his way of coping with the terror of the world he lives in, but he does still have moments of overwhelming empathy that have impacted his personal life. From shaking a blind date’s hand and brushing against a bracelet that belonged to her mother, Emir could find himself catching flashes of a person’s personal life or the sorrow of a grandmother long gone. Other times he could be carefully moving through an antique store where his date had insisted they visit so he could get a second chair or more lamps, his fingers could brush the keys of a piano and he could be overwhelmingly compelled to sit and play. Then, despite never having training, if he indulged the urge the tune would come out. His partners had always, eventually, come to the conclusion that he was emotionally unstable or weird.

Despite the difficulties of his job, his interests, and the conflicts with his faith, Emirhan explored the world with hope and optimism. From learning Spanish guitar in Catalonia to praying in the Hagia Sophia before exploring the streets his parents grew up on in Turkey, traveling on the Lattice opened his eyes. Emirhan believes there is a delicate balance of cruelty and love in the world and that through travel, the balance can be tipped for good. While you may see him pausing awkwardly while exploring a museum, crying when he picks up items that spilled out of a stranger’s purse, or rubbing his temple as he tries to recall something he’d just said in a language he doesn’t actually know, Emirhan prides himself in his life having purpose.

Emirhan 😊

Emirhan’s core identity is all about balance, fairness, and beauty. He’s likely someone who thrives on harmony in relationships and situations, both on and off the field. Being a Libra, he’s got that charm and natural grace, often acting as a peacemaker. He might be the type to keep things chill but still hold a strong sense of justice; perfect for a team player.

His emotional world is sensitive and dreamy. The Pisces Moon makes him intuitive, empathetic, and deeply in tune with his feelings. On the pitch, he might have that "magical" quality of sensing the game’s rhythm and anticipating moves. He’s got a creative streak, and his emotional depth could drive his passion for the sport. At times, though, he might need to retreat and recharge, given how much he feels.

Emirhan’s mind is sharp and deeply probing. He’s got an investigative way of thinking, always searching for hidden truths. Scorpio’s influence on Mercury gives him a strong focus, and his communication could be intense or even a bit secretive. When analysing the game or speaking to the media, he might keep his cards close to his chest, revealing just what he wants to.

When it comes to relationships (both personal and professional), Emirhan is all-in. Venus in Scorpio means he loves deeply and is incredibly loyal; but also intense and passionate. His relationships with teammates could have that emotional depth where he bonds intensely with those he trusts. His style on the pitch? Fierce, with a magnetic presence that can’t be ignored.

Mars in Virgo gives Emirhan a methodical and precise approach to his actions. His work ethic on and off the pitch is likely meticulous, always aiming to improve and refine his skills. He probably has a very analytical side and likes to perfect his technique. This placement shows that he’s driven, but might also be a little critical of himself at times when things aren’t going just right.

With Jupiter in Gemini, Emirhan’s growth comes through communication, adaptability, and learning. His mind is quick, and he’s likely good at juggling multiple ideas at once. He probably thrives in environments where he can learn new things quickly and stay on his toes. Being retrograde, this might sometimes mean he needs to work on finding his own voice and confidence in expressing those ideas.

Saturn in Gemini shows that there could be some challenges around communication or learning. He might face restrictions or delays when it comes to expressing himself, but once he overcomes these hurdles, he’ll be a master communicator. With it being retrograde, he may find it more difficult at times to relate to others or to get his message across as easily as he'd like.

Uranus in Aquarius is a placement that suggests a love for innovation, independence, and thinking outside the box. Emirhan probably has an unconventional approach to life and might bring a unique style to the way he plays. Retrograde Uranus could make him a bit more introspective or rebellious in how he applies new ideas.

Neptune in Aquarius gives Emirhan a dreamer’s vision for the future. He likely has an idealistic view of the world, perhaps desiring to make a difference in a team or community. He could have an artistic side that finds expression in the fluid, creative parts of the game. Retrograde Neptune may also make him question or re-evaluate his dreams and ideals over time.

Pluto in Sagittarius means Emirhan's transformation comes through exploration, adventure, and pushing boundaries. This placement gives him the desire for freedom, expansion, and higher knowledge. He might experience intense personal growth throughout his career, constantly searching for new horizons, both mentally and physically.

North Node in Cancer means Emirhan’s life purpose points him toward emotional connection, family, and nurturing. He’s here to embrace vulnerability and care deeply for those around him. His soul growth is tied to cultivating emotional intelligence and creating a sense of home and belonging, possibly leading him to be a leader or emotional anchor within his team. With it being retrograde, he may feel a little conflicted at times about this nurturing role.

Lilith in Capricorn shows a strong, independent, and determined side to Emirhan. He’s got an ambitious streak, and his shadow side might emerge when he feels that authority or structure is limiting his freedom. This placement could make him challenge traditional norms and push for greater achievements in ways that reflect his personal sense of power.

Chiron in Sagittarius suggests that Emirhan’s wounds may be tied to freedom, beliefs, and his search for meaning. He could experience some pain or insecurity around his ability to expand or express himself fully. However, through these challenges, he’s likely to find healing by embracing his quest for truth and sharing his experiences with others.

Emirhan has a dynamic blend of confidence, independence, and creativity in his chart. He’s driven by a love for adventure and new experiences, which fuels his optimistic and idealistic approach to life. He values freedom and individuality, and often stands out for his originality and progressive thinking. While emotionally sensitive, he can experience internal tension, especially in personal conflicts or when faced with indecisiveness. His sharp mind allows him to think quickly and act decisively, though sometimes he can become overly stubborn or confrontational in his views. Relationships can be challenging due to his need for personal space and his fluctuating emotions, but he thrives in creative and unconventional environments. His quest for self-awareness and growth is marked by a desire to push boundaries, whether through personal development or involvement in bigger societal movements. He's a mix of idealism and practicality, using his dreams as motivation to make tangible progress in his life.

His chart shows a person who is adaptable and emotionally in tune with those around him, though he may struggle with some instability and being easily influenced at times. He’s naturally intuitive, understanding, and honest, and these qualities help him in both personal and professional matters. While he may face conflicts between his ambitions and life’s direction, his emotional balance often guides him toward the right path. He has a strong ability to critically analyse his own motives and is open to feedback, handling challenges with a mix of intelligence and creativity. His natural charm, grace, and appreciation for beauty add to his personal magnetism, making him likable and capable of drawing others to him.

His chart reflects a deep sense of individualism, with his emotions closely tied to his identity, allowing him to express himself easily but sometimes making him self-centred and resistant to change unless it benefits him. He has strong physical drive and a tendency to take risks impulsively, often leading an adventurous life filled with emotional tension and conflict. His mind is sharp, balanced, and rational, though sometimes he may struggle to express his deeper feelings openly. He’s highly intuitive and creative, with an idealistic worldview, but can occasionally escape into fantasy when faced with practical challenges. He has a deep fear of loss and a reserved, cautious approach to love and relationships, which may stem from past experiences or fears of insecurity. Despite this, he is deeply sensitive and romantic when he’s in a committed relationship. His life journey is shaped by confidence and a desire for profound experiences, though at times he might feel a disconnect between his high expectations and reality, which can lead to internal dissatisfaction.
