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: A Weak Woman

Dear Eugenia

This is my third attempt to connect with you. I think this is a wonderful feature that you offer, and your generosity is so very much appreciated!! I have been having some intense problems with my lover of almost 2 years. We are both passionate people, and fell in love with each other over night. We've been together ever since we met (Sept. 9th, 1999). Neither of us has ever experienced love like this before. BUT, I have never experienced such emotionally "brutal" fights in my life. This man that I love can also be cruel, merciless, and manipulative. I need to know what his chart says about this streak in him (I know it has to do with Scorpio) because I am now trying to be very realistic about what I am getting myself into over long term. You have said before that Scorpio men hate any sign of weakness....well, that is a tall order, seeing that every woman or man has their weaknesses. Piscean's tend to show their weaknesses even more so...or at least they appear weak to many people.

I am one of these Piscean's. I have had a very hard life, and in my 27 years have come a very long way from how I was raised. People often see me as angelic, youthful, darling, blessed, and sheltered. It is so ironic, because my background was one of deep sadness, nightmares, and abuse!! Many things happened, but one that I can say just a few words about and gain some understanding is that my mother went into a mental institution when I was six, came out shortly after, and raised me, herself an unmedicated paranoid schizophrenic until I was 11. I lived in a very different world until other adults got involved and took me out of that situation. Obviously this has a tremendous affect on my ability to relate to my peers. My father begrudgingly took me in to live with he and his new wife. They threw me into school (I had not been to elementary school in two years) and punished me for not doing well. My Dad and stepmother treated me like a leper (my stepmother was a very jealous young woman) for years. They made a great income, but did not buy me clothes unless they were from the goodwill or Salvation Army. I always felt like I should ask them to forgive me for imposing on their life. Truly.

Well, I never got past the ninth grade. I worked, starting at 14, in restaurants. I had great dreams of traveling the world, escaping my sadness, becoming something extraordinary. The idealistic dreams of youth always seem to elude us all. I just kept struggling, trying to go back to school and dropping out. It was awful, and by this time, my beloved mother was a homeless woman. Anyway (I am writing much more than I intended) I am now working in a high tech job. My personality is what got me in the door, plus some white lies on my resume. Looking at my current life, my job included, no one who would meet me now would ever even imagine where I came from. I think this is pretty good. I am sad that I have not gone to see the world yet. I would like to write books. I love to write, but self-discipline is very hard for me.

Ok, so my current love belittles me and says that I am weak (I do cry a lot) and that he does not want a weak woman. Other times he tells me I am the best thing that has ever happened to him. He is going to Europe (leaving tomorrow) for 3 months without me. I am incredibly hurt by this. Please tell me what our charts say about our ability to work through things. He is: December 22, 1967, 4:56 AM. I am: March 5th, 1974, 7:16 AM.

Dear Pisces

You are actually only a Pisces by Sun sign having your natal Mercury, Venus and Jupiter in Aquarius, your natal Mars and Saturn in Gemini and your natal Uranus and Pluto in Libra. This gives you a strong air influence in your chart. To top it off the other remaining influences are definitely fire with your natal Moon in Leo and your natal Neptune in Sagittarius with Aries r

Article: Big Secret

Dear Eugenia

This is the fourth time I send an email to you. I am very confused now. I am chasing a girl and her birthday is 31 Oct 1973. My birthday is 18 Jan 1975 8:26pm. She told me that she had a female partner before but I don't know about their relationship now. Anyway, our relationship is very strange. Sometimes is good and sometimes is bad. She seems to have a big secret and makes me very tired. I don't know what to do now.

Dear Trapped

The comparison was just okay. I don't believe that there is enough of a connection mentally or physically. I feel that you would probably make better friends than lovers. If she is tiring you out just trying to get closer to her you can bet that the relationship would be a difficult one to endure long term. You are probably best to move on. Your chart indicates that you match up well to those born under the sign Aries, Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Pisces.

Article: Unlucky in Love

Dear Eugenia

I have not had a close male friend since I broke up with my ex-fianc?. (his date of birth is 31st of January, 1972 and his birthplace is Tokyo) He suddenly told me that he had another woman and cancelled our plans to get married. I wanted to forget about him, so I signed up to take a medical course in night school in order to become a pharmacist.

I am studying really hard and planning to do some volunteer work with my new skills in the future. I enjoy both working and studying, but I am unlucky in love. I have never had a serious relationship with a man. Although some guys have asked me out, I didn't like them (three of those guys were over seventy!). Also a man I met through the Internet is annoying me. He calls me asking for a date even though I have already told him that I don't want to get into a relationship with him.

Can you tell me when will I become lucky again with my love life please? Or should I just continue to work hard and not think about it? Also, recently, I felt that I want to move away from here. Is it better to move to a big city in Japan or to move abroad? Can you give me some advice please?

Dear Up in the Air

Your chart will remain in a high cycle regarding both educational pursuits as well as traveling abroad. You would be wise to feel out the situation in other parts of the world where your career is concerned. If you can find a position that is suitable, by all means make the move to that local. I would however not rule out the possibility of finding a job in a neighboring city and moving to that location if the opportunity is better. Where love and romance is concerned you will be in a much higher cycle this time next year. You match up well to those born under the signs Taurus, Cancer, Virgo and Pisces. Regarding your ex, he fell in an area of your chart that leads to dead end projects so let go and move on.
