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.

I want to stress how important it is to submit complete and accurate birth data – the time and place of birth.

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.

I'm a singer ..and I had my chart done by an astrologer.. I have read that singer's are strong only in Taurus ..Its kind of weird to me because I'm not a Taurus but my sun in Virgo falls in the seventh house which is a Venus house, I do know that Taurus is on the cusp of my 3rd house and I've also read that my planet mercury also has something to do with the vocal cords as well, I don't know which to draw from.. Can you put it all into perspective for me .. I was born September 2, 1972, at 6:18 PM.

Dear Songbird

The sign Taurus ruling the voice is a Sun Sign accusation. Astrology is far more complex than that. There are many factors that contribute to a person's chart that can help determine where their talents lie. In your case with the sign Taurus ruling your third house of communications and the Planet Venus the ruler of the sign Taurus being in your sixth house in Cancer well aspected to your natal Neptune the planet of creativity in an area of your chart that is an extension of your third it all makes perfect sense that you might like to do something creative and use your vocal cords in order to get your message out. Hopefully you aren't just singing but writing and composing as well. If you aren't you should be. Having your natal Moon in your fifth house of entertainment and creativity well aspected to your natal Sun and Mars should also give you the dynamics you need to excel however you should also consider a partnership with other musicians, songwriters etc as this may help you reach your set goals. Hope this helps you a little. Just keep in mind that your chart is as unique to you as your fingerprint.

Article: From Irene

Hi Eugenia,

I really like your web site it's very entertaining. I'm wondering if you would please answer this question for me: Am I a Scorpio or Scorpio/Sagittarius My birth date is November 22, 1967 and approximate birth time 2:00 a.m. in Toulouse, France.

I've always associated myself with being a Scorpio more than a Sagittarius, but wonder because I'm right on the cusp, am I correct in my thinking. Most of the Astrological books show Scorpio from October 24 to November 21, though I have run into some that have the dates October 24 to November 22, which dates are correct.

Would you please clear this up for me ------- am I more Scorpio than Sagittarius or do I have a little of both?

My boyfriend is a Pisces - birth date March 13, 1971, what is our compatibility like?

Thank you so much
Much appreciated
Irene

Hi Irene

The dates that they set in most newspapers are for the benefit of the readers who know little about the subject and refuse to note that it can change a couple of days from year to year. When I first took over Jeane Dixon's column I tried to incorporate the exact date that the Sun moved from one constellation to another however too many readers were upset so I had to go back to using the Sun Sign set dates. In your case you are a Scorpio with your natal Sun, Mercury and Neptune in that sign. You don't have any planets whatsoever in the sign Sagittarius therefore you are correct that they influence is minimal. You do however have a strong Virgo influence with your natal Jupiter, Uranus and Pluto in that sign as well as your ascendant. Regarding your compatibility with your boyfriend I felt that it was quite superb. Although no relationship is perfect there really weren't any red flags to speak of. I would be considering marriage over the course of the next two years and possibly of starting a family.
