We've all experienced times of conflict and personal struggle.  Times when the assistance and advice of a friend always seemed to lend comfort and ease the burden. Have you ever wondered what it would be like if that friend was one of the world's most revered astrologers, with over 25 years of experience?

This service is no longer available.

I have decided to put more time and energy into my research. It’s been a pleasure to answer your emails and to help you through some of life’s tough journeys. Everyone who has participated in my Dear Eugenia column has enriched my life and I hope I have improved yours as well.

For those of you who wish to contribute birth data to my research, please enter your information to my medical astrology research listed on my home page. This research is explicitly dealing with cancer and mental health – addiction illness. The focus is on early diagnosis and preventative medicine.

I want to stress how important it is to submit complete and accurate birth data – the time and place of birth.

Article: Too Much Too Young

Dear Eugenia,

I have a problem. I am sixteen years old, and I feel like I am forty. My mother is very sick, and I must take care of her, as well as attend school and achieve honor role. I work part time, but the income just isn't always enough to make ends meet. Lately my marks at school have been slipping... the stress is really getting to me, but I need good marks in order to get a scholarship, so I can get a decent education.

My problem is that my mother is mentally ill. She has the mental capacity of a three year old. I do have older brothers and sisters, but the responsibility of taking care of my mum has been put on my shoulders.

I really need some advice on my situation. A reply would be much appreciated. I was born August 18, 1982 at 7:27 PM.

Thank you,
Moly

Hi Moly

Your situation is not great and you have all the right in the world to feel sorry for yourself. You must put added pressure on your siblings in order to make them help out. It is their duty to do so. I suggest that you do consider talking to your mother's doctor regarding your options of a nursing home. I fear that if you don't get some support from family members that you may find yourself working full time and putting your education on hold and that would be a shame. Please write back and tell me more about your situation. Where is your father and do any of your siblings still live at home. What are their situations regarding age, marriage, position to help.

Dear Eugenia,

Thank you for answering my letter. You asked for more information about my family: my father passed away, when I was a little girl... too little to remember him, and after him, my mother never married again. I have eight older brothers and sisters, and though none of them live at home, they all live in the same city. They have their own problems - I am not blaming them for not helping me out... I just wish that they were a little more compassionate about my situation.

As for school, I haven't told any of my teachers about my present situation... although I am thinking that it might help quite a bit. Maybe there are some programs or something outside of school, so I can get a full time job, to support my family.

Well, I really don't know what to say... I am really starting to feel the stress, and none of my brothers or sisters are willing to help me out. I have tried to reason with them... but they have their own lives, and their own problems. I think part of it has to do with the fact, that none of them get along with my mother, they just don't have the patience. Only two of my siblings are married, the rest are either full time workers, or full time students.

Regarding the nursing home issue, I just don't feel right about it, no matter which way I look at it. I love my mum way too much to let anything happen to her. I suppose it would probably be better in the long run, but I am really hesitant about that. I am making it sound as though I have no support. In truth, a very special friend at school has been helping me out. We are in a Social Justice group together (that's how we met), and he's the only other person that knows about my situation. He sometimes comes over to take care of my mum when I am working, and he always has a shoulder to cry on. I just feel kind of bad, because he is such a good friend to me, and I have nothing to offer him except problems.

Thank you once again,
Moly

Hi Moly

You are offering your friend lots just by being a friend. You should talk to your teachers they may be able to help you out or at least have suggestions as to how you can continue to study and deal with your home situation. You can't give up your education to take care of your mom. She wouldn't want you to. There would still be the issue of how you would take c

Article: From Lonely

Dear Eugenia,

I have 2 queries to ask you. Recently I have had a large amount of expense financially due to assisting my family through some difficult times, and now I find that my own finances have dropped, so I would really like to have some luck financially to enable me to at least replace some of this money. Also I have had some bad luck emotionally, as I have had to put down my little dog I have had for nine years and who has been by my side through some of my darkest hours these last few years, so would really like to have another dog, but also to find someone to share my life with. So my question to you is do you see in the foreseeable future that I may possibly find that special man in my life to love and also an increase in my finances for now and the future.?I was born September 24, 1955, at 2 am.

Dear Lonely

You certainly have had a difficult time. Although it isn?t over and you will probably still be burdened by family, friends and just about anyone else who can get you to help out I do feel that you will have better luck with love beginning in October of this year. You match up well to those born under the signs Aries, Gemini, Leo Libra, Sagittarius and early Aquarius. You should be able to make more money through hard work as well as investments, winnings, rebates, being paid back money that?s owed to you, surrenders etc between now and the end of September. Losing a dog is like losing a best friend and my heart goes out to you. I am a huge animal lover and when I lost one of my favorite little friends back in 2000 I was heartbroken. Today I have seven tiny t-cup puppies. Of course you should get yourself another little dog. Picking one up around the 26, 27 or 28 of this month would be a perfect time to do so.

Article: Where to Go

Hi Eugenia

I'm 19 a year-old boy. I'm walking on a different route compared to normal students. I can't finish the education that an ordinary student should do. I have been hanging around without going to school. And I am now tired of everything. I have enrolled in high school three times and the results are getting worse. Even though I am willing to continue my studies, I am afraid that I am too old. My future seems to be very gloomy. I don't know what should I do. I don't have any ideas... What are your thoughts? I was born February 12, 1983, at 12:00 PM.

Dear Wandering

The area of your chart that deals with education has been going through a very confusing and difficult period. Emotional troubles regarding learning have limited your ability to sit still and take in information. You are the type of individual who needs to follow a unique path in life. You will do well once you realize your true calling. I believe that your talents are in areas that deal with creativity, helping others and investigation. You are coming into a period that can be depressing but it should help you settle down where your studies are concerned. Don't be so hard on yourself. If you enroll in high school now you will have more discipline and therefore you should do fine. You do need a goal that will keep you on the right track. Once you know what you want to do for a living you will discover that you will do very well regarding higher education, apprenticeships or whatever path you take. You are bright, sensitive and certainly have a chart that shows promise as you move into your adult and working years. Don't give up, instead set your mind on your end goal and push for success.
