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: The Inevitable Nature of Student Loans

Dear Ms. Last,

I will make my request brief since you have been bombarded with much e-mail. I am a young woman approaching thirty and I require some advice as to which road to take concerning my future. As of September 2000, I will be completing my last year in an MA of Fine Arts. My focus is archaeology. I love the academic field, but I have acquired a student debt that I fear will be a continued burden if I pursue my PHD. I have been working part time and sometimes full time, for a retail store for the past five years. I know that I have an opportunity to be a manager when the position opens. This position will provide me with the financial resources to pay off my debts and acquire some financial security. I thought that if I chose this path, I could do my PHD later and be more confident and less worried and stressed. However, I have found that people usually lose touch with their academic endeavors once they leave school. I do not want this to happen. I would like to teach archaeology at the university level and have my own excavation, but I feel that I must secure my life before I pursue my dream. What is your advice?

I was born August 13,1970, 2:20 PM.

Dear Time to Decide

I'm a big believer in following your dreams. It takes hard work and dedication but it is obvious that you have that ability. You should not stop working however I believe that you should continue your studies as well. If you have to take a year off I suggest that you do it over the course of the last quarter of this year and the first three of next. After that I feel that it will be important to continue your studies. You may be able to work out some arrangement with your place of work or if you look to the university for possible work it may put you in an ideal situation. You should also consider the possibility of doing your PHD through correspondence or night classes that will allow you to work as well. Nothing worthwhile comes easy. I remember working full time/studying/building my practice all at the same time and although it wasn't easy it was a memorable time for me. The sense of accomplishment that you will feel will make it well worth your while. Your chart indicates that you are a hard working, detailed individual who does belong in the school system. Teaching/studying and traveling are the three main features in your chart that stand out as being you're driving force. Your work and money areas are in a high cycle for the next few years as are your educational areas therefore I suggest that you tighten your belt and prepare to study/work and pay back your debt.

Article: A Family Matter

Dear Eugenia,

Hi, I was born in December 29, 1982 at 2:46am. He was born in October 29, 1978. I don't know his birth time. We both are well educated and know that we shouldn't be together. I know, from both an intellectual and ethnical point of view, we are not permitted to be together because we are cousins (his father is a brother of my father).

He also feels painful. Our romance started two years ago. I don't know what we should do now. I like astrology and read many books on this topic. I really want to know why I love him from an astrological perspective. Why he also has the same feelings like mine? I lived with his family at his home when I was a small girl, so we can get along very well. His family seems to have known something. I know I shouldn't, but.... Maybe you can give me some ideas.

Dear Hopeless

Astrologically speaking the comparison is really more like that of a sister brother relationship and although I can see that you do get along well you both need to get on with your lives. In many ways you should be happy to have such a terrific friend. Keep in mind that lovers come and go but friends are there forever. You should build on your friendship because that in itself is a life long commitment. However, intimacy or getting together as boyfriend and girlfriend or man and wife should not even be considered. You will both be in a high cycle regarding love and romance later this year and for the first eight months of next year. You should both focus on other partners at that time. You match up well to those born under the sign Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn and Pisces.

Article: Not Destined To Repeat

Hi Eugenia,

I was born at 12h35am on July 18th 1964. I have lost 3 boyfriends/spouses to death in the past 7 years. The first one named Mike, I can't remember his birthday, died on June 10th 1993, Marc, born April 14th 1966, died on October 10th 1997 and the latest, Mike, born August 20th 1969, died on October 20th 2000. All three deaths were different: car accident, fatal illness and a murder. All three times I thought I had found my soul mate; someone with whom I would grow old... My question is this: Will I ever fall in love again and has this cycle ended or am I doomed to bury someone else I fall in love with?

Dear Widowed

You are very young to have experienced such sorrow. Although there are never any sure things in life I can tell you that your chart does not show total disaster where marriage is concerned. In many ways you should be happy to have experienced such love three times over when some people never experience it once. You will always attract men to your side and you will always enjoy the love they have to offer. Count your blessings that you have been granted the good fortune to have loved many times over, as it is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.
