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?

Article: Family Matter

Dear Eugenia,

Many years ago I consulted an astrologer about my chances of marrying happily, and he replied, "Do you really want to know?" He seemed so evasive and reluctant that I didn't push it. A year or two later I met my husband (9/17/53) and we have been together for nearly fifteen years. I have since learned a little about astrology and decided that the reason the astrologer was so reticent is that I have Neptune in Scorpio in the seventh house. I think this has manifested mostly in my husband's struggles with alcohol; about three years ago he finally made a major effort and got his drinking under control. Unfortunately at the same time-- I wonder if it was the catalyst-- I reconnected with an old friend (11/11/61) who is in the same line of creative work I am. Although this relationship upset my husband I did not give it up. I realize that this person is a friend and not a suitable candidate for husband/father (we have three children) but I cannot convince my husband that is the case, even though I have been faithful to him and the other relationship is somewhat tenuous. Is it that my husband is being super controlling or am I not being honest? If I give up my friend will my husband go back to drinking? The astrology books are not very reassuring on the Neptune in the seventh house thing, so I wonder if I am stuck with relationship weirdness no matter what, or if I would just be better off being a nun. My birthday is 4/4/65, at 6 AM.

Thank you--

Dear "Doomed by Neptune"

First of all your Neptune may be in your seventh house but it is well aspected to your natal Saturn and Pluto and yes it does oppose your Moon and Jupiter as well but don't lose sight of the fact that the Moon is well aspsected to both Saturn and Pluto as well. This should give you an overall positive skew on your relationship capability. Now you are right regarding partners being of an escapist nature but that doesn't mean that you can't have a successful relationship and that your current partner can't pull his act together. This set up can be highly creative sexually if that's where the energy is put and obviously you and your husband did just that, the result being your three children. With your Neptune Jupiter opposition and of course Jupiter being in your first house you can tend to overreact a bit and may not be totally honest with yourself or your partner at an emotional level. I feel that your past acquaintance is really not the issue as you do not match up to him well. As a matter of fact it is more like a sister brother connection and a strained one at that. Your Scorpio friend falls in an area of your chart that deals with dead end projects. As for your husband your comparison was okay but sorrow does prevail especially with regard to his drinking problem. With his natal Neptune in an adverse position to his natal Uranus I believe that he could fall off the wagon from time to time. However, it probably won't be the result of your friendship with your Scorpio friend. Your Scorpio however should only be someone that you deal with as a direct result of work and nothing more. If you want your marriage to work you and your husband will have to work together in order to keep his problem under control. If he can't handle it and continually gets inebriated you will have to make a decision based on what's best for you and your children. Your husband falls in an area of your chart that deals with children and partying and that is probably how things started out some 15 years ago however times have changed and he's going to have to pull up his socks or expect to lose his family.

Article: From Gemini

Hi Eugenia

I am in my early thirties and single June 13, 1973 at 4:15 PM. I am ready to get married and have kids but I can't find anyone that I am mentally, physically, and spiritually attracted to. It seems like all the good men are already married and I feel like I'll be alone for a long, long time. I know I am a bit picky but that is because I have been through so much drama in previous relationships that I know the signs beforehand and therefore I just won't deal with it now. What's my prognosis look like?

Hi Gemini

You are coming into a high cycle beginning at the end of this year where love and romance are concerned. There is nothing wrong with being picky but you must also be aware that no relationship is perfect and that they all take work. You match up well to those born under the signs Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio and Capricorn. Being a Gemini it is difficult to decide on one partner when you are young. You are finally coming into a period that will be far more conducive to settling down. Your focus next year should be on learning, traveling, finding out more about different cultures and putting your best effort into your profession. Advancement and recognition is headed your way next year and you want to be ready to take full advantage of this. Don't be so hard on yourself regarding love - anyone you met over the past five years was probably not a suitable candidate. Next year will be a whole new ball game.

Article: From Gemini

Dear Eugenia,

I lost someone very dear to me. It's been difficult. I want a permanent change and I made up my mind to move to Las Vegas because of opportunity. Is this a good area of the country for me to reside in? I know that astrology can tell someone if relocation to a specific area can be good or bad because of the planetary influences there. But is it possible for you to see whether or not this area will bring me business opportunities job etc. I presently reside in the northeast. This information would lessen the fear of change I'm facing now. I was born May 24, 1947, at 12:35 PM.

Thank you
Gemini

Hi Gemini

I believe that if you are going to make a long distance move you must do so between now and late summer. Job opportunities are apparent in the fall no matter where you are living. My only concern with your move is that you have been thinking about it too long instead of making the arrangements and following through. If this is really what you want to do start the process. You have a good chart regarding work and making money so I really am not concerned about that. I believe that if you make a move you may make another one late 2005 or in 2006 however this time it will have something to do with a new partner in your life. Life is not over for you and although you lost someone very dear to you that doesn?t mean that you should be alone. You match up to those born under the signs Gemini, Libra and Sagittarius.
