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: Need to change

Dear Eugenia,

I need your help! I have tried for a response before, but came up empty. I adore your column and hope you can advise me on my situation. I am a 38-year old mother of two who has been overweight ever since I had my first child. My father's death (which was close in the proximity of having my children) threw it over the edge. I feel that I need to lose weight and become healthier if not for me, for the sake of my children. I want to see them grow up and be successful. I am planning on starting a diet next week and I was curious about the timing. Does my chart indicate a success for me losing the weight? I have tried all the fad diets and pills, and they just don't work. Thank you for your time!

Need to Change

Dear Need to Change

It is never a good time to start a diet when transiting Jupiter is in conjunction with your natal Sun and Mercury and unfortunately that is the case until the end of May of next year. You must however try to at least maintain your weight during this period without getting discouraged. Therefore yes the diet is a must but coupled with exercise and the expectation that you will not put on any more weight. After that period when transiting Saturn starts to approach your natal Venus followed by your natal Mercury and then the Sun you will have a much better chance of losing the excess weight. This is a long process but certainly a worthwhile one and one that you can achieve. You must however be prepared to incorporate exercise, diet, a means to boost your ego and help you to feel good about yourself again. I suggest joining a group that will give you the support you need along with a fitness center for women where you will get the encouragement as well.

Article: Virgo or Cancer?

Dear Eugenia,

I really appreciate the help you provide your fans with. I'm going to try to make my situation seem as uncomplicated, and to the point, as possible. I was born March 17th/ 1985. I'm currently interested in a Cancer born July 15th/ 1984. I've asked you many times on how to get involved w/ him, but you never answered. Anyway, I recently found out that on the other hand, I have a Virgo born September 19th/ 1979 that shows interest in me. I'm absolutely confused on what to do. Whom do you feel would be better fitted for me? Who's the one written in my destiny? Please, I need an answer. I'm sorry if I've been a pain, but I truly take your advice to heart.

Thank You,
Confused Pisces

Dear Confused Pisces

Although I can see the attraction to both your Cancer and Virgo prospects I believe that deception and sorrow will result with the Virgo due to his natal Venus and Mercury being adversely positioned to your natal Neptune. This can mean that you are the deceptive one as well and that you hurt him. Tread carefully, you are young and although you probably just want to dive into a relationship you are best to develop friendships with both of these young men and get to know them better. You may be a Pisces but you have a lot of Aries in your chart. You don't want to settle into something too quickly. You will have many changes of heart during the course of the next year. Your next best year for love and romance will begin late in 2002 and continue throughout 2003. For now you should be going out, having fun and staying free.

Article: From Gemini

Dear Eugenia,

I lost someone very dear to me. It's been difficult. I want a permanent change and I made up my mind to move to Las Vegas because of opportunity. Is this a good area of the country for me to reside in? I know that astrology can tell someone if relocation to a specific area can be good or bad because of the planetary influences there. But is it possible for you to see whether or not this area will bring me business opportunities job etc. I presently reside in the northeast. This information would lessen the fear of change I'm facing now. I was born May 24, 1947, at 12:35 PM.

Thank you
Gemini

Hi Gemini

I believe that if you are going to make a long distance move you must do so between now and late summer. Job opportunities are apparent in the fall no matter where you are living. My only concern with your move is that you have been thinking about it too long instead of making the arrangements and following through. If this is really what you want to do start the process. You have a good chart regarding work and making money so I really am not concerned about that. I believe that if you make a move you may make another one late 2005 or in 2006 however this time it will have something to do with a new partner in your life. Life is not over for you and although you lost someone very dear to you that doesn?t mean that you should be alone. You match up to those born under the signs Gemini, Libra and Sagittarius.
