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--

"Doomed by Neptune"

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: Not healthy relationship

Dear Eugenia,

I will be getting married by the end of August. But somehow I am still in love with another man. He's never been nice to me and has another girlfriend. But he likes to manipulate my mind. He is Swiss-French and 12 years older than me. He told me that he still loves me and no matter what our circumstances are, our strong feeling towards each other will never change. I tried to run away from him to get a moment of peace in my life with my fianc?e. However, every time he e-mails me or contacts me, my heart and mind will not be able to function well. I told him that I loved him too. Then, he pushed me away. It happens many times. It's so unbearable. How should I handle it?

Swiss-French guy: born in 3 August, 1960 at around 6:00am
My fianc?e: born in 30 June, 1973 at around 12:00 noon.
I was born March 7, 1972, at 2:15 AM.
Please give me advice. I am looking forward to it.

Dear Tina

You match up so much better to your fianc?e that I can't imagine that you would want to entertain the thought of spending time with your older gentleman. I believe that you feel the way you do because you want what you don't think you can have. Please do yourself and your fianc?e a favor and move forward with your wedding plans and don't look back. The further away you can get from your Virgo friend the better. I fear with the transits that you are experiencing that you will do something foolish with this man and I can't stress enough that you must not. A lot of his natal planets fall in an area of your chart that deal with either dead end projects or secret affairs. This does not make for a very healthy relationship.

Article: From Confused

Dear Eugenia

I am currently living with a man whose birth date is November 1, 1976. Lately I find myself thinking of an old boyfriend, whose birth date is August 26,1972. I've heard from friends that my old boyfriend is involved with someone else. Should I give up on the thought of my old boyfriend and I? My birth date is January 7,1972 (7:07pm).

Dear Confused

I understand why you are so confused. The comparison with your old boyfriend had substance but it wasn't the most favorable. However the comparison with your current boyfriend lacked substance but was better in terms of getting along. Unfortunately you are unsatisfied with your current relationship because it isn't fulfilling and that is okay. It is quite normal to revert back to memories about past relationships but that does not mean that you should take a backward step. What you really need to do is face the music and move on. Your chart indicates that you should be out socializing and meeting new people. Right now you can't really meet anyone because your current boyfriend is blocking that. Stop and think about your future and get on with your life. You match up well to those born under the signs Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius and Aquarius. Your ex partner falls in an area of your chart that deals with dead end projects so don't bother going there and your current falls in an area that deals with your home environment however he poorly aspects the area of your chart that deals with marriage and partnerships.
