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?

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.

Dear Eugenia
I have a friend who is dating a girl diagnosed with schizophrenia. She has been on and off medication for several years now and has been hospitalized several times. I have looked at her birth chart and read what your web site says, but I can find nothing, in your site or others to indicate that this would be a problem in her life. Is there something I'm missing? I also am very concerned about my friend. This is his first long term relationship. They have been seeing each other for 14 months now. His relationships before always lasted 2 months at the most, although he was interested in someone for several years (born Sept. 27, 1980 at 12:47 pm in Vermont). He says that he plans to spend his life with this girl and I am concerned he doesn't really understand what that means for him, taking care of her long term medical and emotional needs. Can you tell me what you can about this relationship? He was born on May 17, 1981 between 11:00 am and 1:30 pm and she on June 6, 1978. I don't know her time of birth. Thank you. I love your site and go to it every day for guidance.

Dear Concerned
Without her accurate birth time it isn't likely that an illness such as schizophrenia will show up and even if the actual birth time was available it would probably show up as emotional and mental disorders bordering on delusion. You must give your friend more credit. He is bright, articulate, and quite capable of taking care of himself and her if necessary and obviously he is in love with her. Being schizophrenic doesn't mean that she can't function well in society. It means that she must take medication the same as a diabetic needs insulin or an individual with poor sight needs to wear glasses. Her chart matches up well to his and there really isn't any apparent sorrow in this connection. The biggest problem that your friend appears to have is in the form of relatives and friends meddling in his affairs instead of supporting his decision to love someone that touches him deeply.

Dear Eugenia,
I was born on October 17th 1946 at 6:20 PM in Toronto. The last few years have been difficult but I've tried to remain hopeful that things will work out. But lately I've read some astrology sites that state this is one of the best times my sign will have for the next 12 years. Since I have no job and little money, few friends, no social life and I'm married to a man I have to take care of because his fondness for alcohol has left him with brain damage, I find it hard to believe these are good times. If it doesn't get any better than this I don't know how I'll cope. Are these supposed to be good times for me?
Tired.
Dear Tired.
None of us consist of just our Sun Sign and this is where astrology can be misinterpreted. You have actually had several years of tough times and although things are starting to improve you still have some problems to deal with. The first thing you have to do is to take the initiative to make the necessary changes in order to improve your life. Even if you feel that you don't want to get into the work force at this time the possibility to do so is present over this next year however you have to do the legwork. If you really don't want to work you should at least volunteer or join an organization you believe in so that you can get out and have some sort of social life and support system happening. Jupiter has just moved into an area of your chart that usually indicates a move or favorable change in your home. You are also in a high cycle where relationships are concerned and if you are sick and tired of taking care of your ailing husband it may be time to institutionalize him. He made the choice to drink himself into oblivion and it's time you stopped being the martyr. You still have a lot of living to do and as long as you sit in the situation that you are in nothing will change. Astrologically speaking I can tell you what you should be doing and when the time is right but you have to take the initiative and make it happen. Get moving girl; you've paid your dues.

Dear Eugenia,
I was wondering if you could shed light on a few factors that are taking place in my life right now. One, what effect will Saturn's move into Gemini have on my upcoming future?
Two, I've recently returned to the States where I'm continuing to teach as a language professor, but I'm not so sure this is the place I should put my roots down, can you tell me anything about this?
Three, He's born, 30 November 1956, 7:30 PM, Long Branch, NJ, and technically we just broke up on Sunday. Can this relation have a follow up, if yes should I pursue it or just step back and let things unfold, if no what can I do to prepare for a more fulfilling encounter in the future?
Thank you in advance for your time and help, I know you are very busy, but a simple word from you would really help me to focus....
S.
Dear S.
Saturn will be situated in an area of your chart that will be terrific for socializing and relationships but it will not be so good regarding chronic health and investments. You will have a tendency to over do it in both aspects and therefore you should start to cut back now. With Jupiter also moving through Gemini this will be where the excess begins and once that takes place the limitations that Saturn can bring won't be far behind. If you made your move in May or June of this year, you probably did the right thing however if it was before that time you may make another move between November and February. Your relationship with your Sagittarius does not appear to be all that great for you. I would let it go and move on especially while you have such good transits regarding socializing and meeting potential partners. You match up well to those born under the signs Aries, Libra and Pisces.

Happy Birthday: Stick to what you know and do best this year. Letting the unfamiliar or someone’s enthusiasm command your attention. Listen to your inner voice and common sense, and do what feels right and is meaningful to you. You can dream big if you size down to fit your budget, time, and capability. There is a shift taking place, but it requires marksmanship, detail, and an honest assessment of right from wrong. Your numbers are 5, 16, 21, 24, 30, 37, 49.
