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: What's My Sign

Hi Eugenia!

I often visit your site and get advice...However, I have one question, hoping that you would help me to clarify. It's about my sign. I was born on Nov 22, 1982, at 10:11 pm. However, I'm not sure my horoscope sign is Scorpio or Sagittarius. In different magazines, some classify as Scorpio, some as Sagittarius. Thus, I'm checking both of them. Of course, in AstroEast, it comes out as Sagittarius. Can you tell me which one and why? Then, I can tell people when they ask me what my sign is. I wish to hear from you soon and I will continue to visit your site often like before.

Dear What's My Sign

Your sign is most definitely Sagittarius. Not only do you have your natal Sun placed in that sign you also have your natal Mercury, Venus, Uranus and Neptune in Sagittarius. Regarding your Scorpio influence you only have your natal Jupiter in that sign therefore you can safely say that you are a full fledge Sagittarius when someone asks. In order to figure out what sign a person is there birth time must be accurate. When born around the time that the Sun moves from one constellation to another only the time of day can determine whether that person will be born under one sign or the other, in your case there is no contest, it is definitely Sagittarius. The reason that it can be very confusing is that from year to year the Sun may move into the next constellation a day ahead or a day behind the set dates that are used in the daily horoscopes. When I started writing daily columns I would use the actual date in the paper that the Sun changed signs but many readers complained because as far as they were concerned the set dates were the only ones to consider. Unfortunately most people born on the cusp will never know for sure unless like yourself you have your chart calculated out to the exact time. This is easy to do by using my www.astroadvice.com or www.AstroEast.com web site. By the way you came very close to having a Stellium in your chart, (A grouping of planets in one area of the zodiac. Multiple conjunctions. A collection of five planets or more in a close proximity to one another.) you have four planets conjunct in Sagittarius, the fifth is not.

Article: The Right Place at the Right Time

Dear Eugenia,

I received an email from an astrologer regarding my soul mate. She said that in the next 56 days I need to be in the right place and time in order to meet this person, but the detailed information came with a price tag of ($60). Can you give me a little more insight on where and what I need to look for so I don't to miss my opportunity? I was born Apr.25, 1973 at 2:51pm.

Dear wondering

You currently have Neptune at an adverse aspect to your natal Venus. This can result in attracting someone who is not necessarily good for you. It can be someone who is dishonest, escapist or overindulgent so I don't know where this person is getting her information. I can tell you however that it does not mean that you can't meet someone who is good for you as well if you are careful. Although your chart indicates that June 27 and July 1 are opportune days for love and romance Mercury is in retrograde until July 16 and this usually means that you are best not to start something new. Your chart also indicates that you can find love around the end of September beginning of October and although you will continue to have the poor Neptune transit the Mercury retrograde will not be present. You match up well to those born under the signs Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn and Pisces. You need to get involved in organizations that you believe in and you will have a better chance of meeting someone with similar interests and beliefs. Where your chart really shines over the course of the next few years is pertaining to your work and money. You should be focusing on climbing the career ladder for now and the rest will fall into place.

I don't blame you for wondering about the email your received. A colleague who works for my syndicate brought this method of selling astrological or psychic goods to my attention earlier this year. She had been sent an email out of the blue and found it alarming because it made her feel compelled to pay money for information she didn't ask for. She contacted me immediately and the following article was written to try to help people like yourself avoid this kind of scam.

Fortune-Telling Scam Hits Web U.S. FEATURE (Evergreen)-- The oldest psychic-astrology scam in the world has hit the Internet. E-mail arrives in your mailbox from someone who claims he has stumbled across your name or e-mail address while looking for a friend. The sender happens to be a "psychic-astrologer" and feels a connection to your name. The so-called psychic knows something big will happen in your future and, for a small fee, he will consult the stars and do a reading. That's what happened to Darla Walker, an employee for a Kansas City-based Internet company. "This stranger approached me by e-mail to say that, when she stumbled on my name in a directory, she got very strong vibrations about something big that was about to happen in my life. She encouraged me to get a full astrological reading immediately and suggested a visit to her Web site where readings are advertised for $60. "The e-mails didn't stop with the first one. She built a sense of impending crisis, telling me I would miss the opportunity of a lifetime if I didn't get a reading immediately. I'm not normally superstitious, but it was effective. I was both curious and concerned, but not desperate enough to risk the money or my credit card information to a complete stranger on the Web." It's hard to remain objective when someone appeals to your sense of curiosity, says Eugenia Last, a professional astrologer with over 25 years of experience. Last studied at The Institute of Astrological Studies and others. Her column, "The Last Word in Astrology," is syndicated all over the world through Universal Press. She has written five books, has her own Web sites and makes frequent media appearances.

Article: From Capricorn

Hi Eugenia,

I am 41 years old and I am dating an older man who is 17 years older than myself, he is an Aquarian and I am a Capricorn. He was born on Feb.7, 1945 and I December 25, 1961 at 6:00 PM. Can you see a future with this man, is he too old for me. I care deeply for him and am getting very attached to him, should I cool off this relationship, he is very good to me and is kind. This is the first time I have dated someone this age difference. Does age matter? Thanks
Capricorn

Dear Capricorn

Your sign always does much better with partners who are a lot older or a lot younger; they just don't do well with people their own age. Being a relatively strong Goat with that sign also in an area of your chart that deals with relationships I feel that this particular Capricorn trait does apply to you. All that said in the case of your Aquarius partner I'm not certain that he is the one. I feel that you may not being totally honest with yourself as to why you are with him. Are you in love or just in need. The sign Aquarius falls in an area of your chart that deals with dead end projects. I believe that you are moving into a high cycle regarding love and that you should leave your doors open to other opportunities. I suggest that you check in the personal ads of your local business and financial newspaper where you are more likely to find established gentlemen that will suit you. You match up well to those born under the signs Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio Capricorn and Pisces.
