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.

The following are our 'Dear Eugenia' letters archive:

Article: Thinking your future

Hi Eugenia,

I'm a 21-year old gay male living in New Mexico. I have been addicted to substances (alcohol, etc.) since I was a teenager. I can't shake them and can't seem to imagine a life without them. They are getting in the way of possible love interests because if I had a partner, they would need to be patient with the substances. As it is, I cling to phone sex and pornography to continue the escapism. I'm not complaining about my life. I've learned to live with it. But is there something in my chart that would explain my problem? That's all I need to know right now. If you could be so kind as to maybe help me explore this, I would be eternally grateful. I was born July 14, 1980, at 4 AM.

Dear Addictive

You were born with your natal Neptune opposite your natal Venus across your sixth and twelfth. This is considered to be sorrowful, addictive, escapist and so forth. I believe that you are coming to a turning point in your life over the course of the next couple of years while transiting Saturn moves through the sign Gemini. This will cause some depression, some physical limitations and could even lead you to a rehab center or institutional type environment. I believe that you can turn things around if you want but I fear that you will have to hit rock bottom before that happens. Your chart indicates that you must be careful not to get involved with someone who is equally as addictive or someone who is already involved with another. What you should be focusing on the rest of this year and the first half of next is what you want to do with the rest of your life regarding your career. Your home and personal life appears to be going through a difficult period as well. It's time to start thinking about your future and getting the help you require.

Article: The Moon's Effect

Dear Eugenia,

I am a classical Capricorn born on 17/01/76, 11:15 AM. I read that the Moon can have real bad influences on the sign Capricorn. I am wondering if Moon has had bad influences on me especially in my romantic life. Although I had several boy friends (all were Leo's), I was never totally attracted to anyone. I am always in complete control. Is it because of the Saturn- moon angle in my birth chart? Will I continue like this?

I know it sounds awkward but is it a problem that most Capricorn's have?

Dear p?nar

The Moon in your chart falls in the sign Leo and that is one of the reasons that you attract that sign however they are not always the best for you. You have the sign Scorpio in an area that deals with relationships and therefore will eventually clash with most Leo's that you date. You have been experiencing a Neptune transit that is influencing your emotional life causing self-deception, disillusionment and confusion. This transit is moving off your chart however between now and August of next year you will experience another transit that will play havoc with your love life. You should experience plenty of opportunities for love and romance however you will have difficulty choosing the right partner. I suggest that you use our compatibility feature in order to spare yourself ending up with someone who may not be good for you. The problem that you face is that your natal Venus is conjunct your natal Neptune and this can create sorrow and disappointments in love. You have a tendency to jump in too fast with your natal Mars opposite this conjunction and before you know it the relationship ends. This doesn't mean that you can't have a good relationship however it does mean that you must slow down and take your time picking your partners. You are in a high cycle regarding love for the better part of the next year and a half. Use this time wisely and check out all potential mates astrologically for best results.

Article: From Little Lost Libra

Hi Eugenia

I am in my early forties, 2 children, married for 19years. For some reason I am in a very reflective state. I reflect on my past and become very depressed, I never had any career success, although I worked very hard, never made much money, however I continued my education, but I never got a "break" I was always past over, finally in my early thirties I became ill with MS and had to go on long term disability. So that was the final blow. I have come to terms with my situation and have gotten involved with the local MS Society as a Board member. I still yearn for some little professional success. Why can't I let go of the past and just relax and enjoy my children, and happy marriage? Will these feelings lift? I was born October 12, 1959, at 10:42 am.

Hi Little lost Libra

What you are doing right now with the MS Society is important and I feel certain that someone you recently met through this organization will help you find your way where your profession is concerned. It is never too late and you are never incapable of achieving as long as you have the desire. You have just experienced your second half-life Saturn and this is why you have been so reflective. It is a period in your life that makes you reevaluate what you've done up to this point in your life and in turn it should help you realize whatever changes are necessary in order to make your life better. Your chart indicates that you have the spunk and desire to achieve and I believe that there is something very significant that you need to do. It will be something that will make a difference to other people. It can have to do with communications, creativity or your desire to help those who are experiencing similar disabilities. It's your spark, enthusiasm and need to achieve that will inspire others. Perhaps writing a book about your inner thoughts dealing with MS. I believe that if you work really hard towards a personal goal that you set for yourself that you will receive the recognition you are searching for beginning late next year and throughout 2005. You have what it takes to move mountains my dear and I do not believe that you have or ever will let your disability stop you from trying to move forward. This is about you right now - it's your turn to put yourself first, choose what it is that will bring you the satisfaction you are looking for and make it so.
