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: The Cycle of Fertility

Dear Eugenia,

Greetings and Blessings, My name is Jennifer and I'm new to Astro Advice. While surfing around on the wonderful web site I came across the "Dear Eugenia" link. I was curious as to what wonders it might hold and so, here I am. The reason for me writing to you is because of a very depressing and unfruitful matter in my life right now. You see, my other half and I have been trying to conceive for almost two years now and to our amazement no results have prevailed. This is often a very saddening experience month after month and we are at the point now where we just feel we should give up. We have tried every option under the sun that has been recommended to us such as; me lying in bed for up to 30 minutes after sex, taking baby asprin to thin out my blood and promote better circulation, taking 2 tbsp. of Robitussin Cough Syrup to thin out cervical mucus, drinking red-raspberry tea and various others. Everything has left us down right exhausted. I'm beginning to lose all hope in this matter and I feel as though I'm not meant to have children. It appears as though God doesn't want me to give the gift of life and bring a child into this world. At several times I thought I was pregnant but, a false- positive pregnancy test proved wrong. To be truthful... this issue is starting to take it's toll on the relationship the more and more the months go by. It appears that these troubles are causing me to push away from my other half and he in turn is beginning to get more and more frustrated and depressed as well. My birth date is December 11, 1978---- 9:00 AM and my other half's is March 17,1980---- unfortunately I am unsure of his time of birth. Please... anything you can tell me would be greatly appreciated and respected. I thank you for your time.

Dear Babyless

Both you and your partner are born under mutable signs (Sagittarius and Pisces) These signs often go through difficulties with getting pregnant, having children, dealing with children and so on but that doesn't mean that it won't happen. In your particular case opportunities for prenancy will be in affect for the next couple of years. You are still young and you shouldn't be putting so much pressure on yourself. I have worked out your fertility cycles for the next twelve months so that you can try to optimize the most auspicious times to conceive. July 9 at 5 PM until July 13 at 5 PM, Aug. 8 at 11 AM until Aug. 12 at 11 AM, Sept. 7 at 3 AM until Sept. 11 at 3 AM, Oct. 6 at 9 PM until Oct. 10 at 9 PM, Nov. 5 at 1 PM until Nov. 9 at 1 PM, Dec. 5 at 1 AM until Dec. 9 at 1 AM, Jan. 3 at 5 PM until Jan. 7 at 5 PM, Feb. 2 at 1 AM until Feb. 6 at 1 AM, Mar. 3 at 11 AM until Mar. 7 at 11 AM, Apr. 2 at 7 PM until Apr. 5 at 7 PM, May 1 at 3 AM until May 5 at 3 AM, May 31 at 11 AM until June 2 at 11 AM, June 28 at 12 AM until July 2 at 12 AM.

Article: From Carina

Hi Eugenia!

Your site is great - so interesting. I thought the celebrity scopes were so insightful! I am asking mainly about creativity, career and money. I am pretty good at both creative writing and photography, but have never had the focus or confidence to follow through with either as a career - my parents and brother are all scientific based and I can still hear them say to just keep creativity as a hobby and get a real job. I have a degree, but having started work in the dead end world of retail, whilst trying to write a novel, this is now the only real experience I have. As a result I have no confidence in looking at a job that requires my qualifications as I imagine that the employer would wonder why I haven't been in this type of work for the ten years since I graduated! I am also concerned that even in the retail sector, where I do have the experience and thus the confidence, I shy away from applying for leader roles, or more interesting roles with higher wages!!!

I have been working on a book off and on for the last eight years, and although I have produced a considerable amount of quality work, it has turned into a nightmare project. It never seems to be good enough! Although a lot of friends have loved the writing and have urged me to finish it I have got to the point where I don't even know what it is about anymore. I have never sent anything off to a publisher. My creative writing teacher told me last year that my writing was breath-taking...still nothing. At the back of my mind I almost feel that the book has to contain the meaning of life or else it won't be worthwhile! aaaah!

Recently I put this project to one side and started thinking along totally different lines. I started plotting out a very lighthearted book and everything came together very well in the plan, but I found the actual writing hard to start. Am I on the right track with this? Does my chart indicate that I will never succeed!!!? Am I doomed to retail etc forever?

One last thing. My luck seems strongest with houses: I always find fantastic places to live in a very short time. I also move a lot. I was wondering if the creative stuff really is a non-starter, should I re-train in real estate? I was born December 7, 1970 at 9:30 PM.

Thank you so much for your time!
Kind regards
Carina

Hi Carina

Surprise surprise - I do not see you in retail that is for sure and don't know how you have survived in this position for so many years. I do however see you in several different areas, real estate being one, interior decorating another along with working for yourself out of your home in the creative field as well as teaching in order to help subsidize your bankbook while you get things off the ground.

It is unfortunate that both school counselors and parents stifle creative children to such a degree that they lack the confidence required to follow a dream. Fear of failure is embedded into children's brains at such a young age that it is a wonder we have any successful creative people on the planet at all.

If you don't follow your dream you will never find happiness. After all happiness is the prerequisite of doing what's right for you not to fulfill your parent's dreams. Do you have talent and the ability to be published - yes you do but not without the usual sacrifices and hard work required to pull it off. You should be sending your work out immediately as the area of your chart that deals with publishing is in a high cycle for the next couple of months. Yes the area of your chart that deals with publishing will periodically move through a high cycle throughout your life but as for the one you are currently experiencing it began at the end of last year and as you can see you only have a little time left to utilize it. You should have already sent work out. Stop procrastinating and at least send a synopsis of all the

Article: Back to the Ex

Dear Ms Last,

I read your letters every week and am always impressed by them. I have written to you twice but received no response. I am hoping desperately that this time will be different. I am a Capricorn, born 1/12/51 at 5:35 p.m. I have been married twice and am in the process of my second divorce. Recently my first ex has come back into my life. He was born 11/13/49, I don't know what time and neither does he as he was born at home. The first time I saw him again it was like a slap in the face and it made me wonder why we ever divorced. Things are very good between us right now. My question is can this work? I am very confused about all this. The first time around we were both kids and I feel now that we are mature adults things might work. Can you help me with this? Can this relationship go anywhere or should I let it go? There's a lot of history between us not all good but I know that I can get past all that. Please answer soon. I need help with this.

One confused Capricorn.

Dear One confused Capricorn.

The comparison with your ex is okay but I have to question the fact that he is a Scorpio and they don't usually forget the reason why they have a falling out with someone. In other words are you sure that old wounds won't come back to haunt you. You have been going through a period that can bring people from your past back into your life as well as potential new partners. You also have transiting Neptune passing through your 7th house conjuncting your natal Venus and that is usually deception, disillusionment and sorrow regarding relationships. I believe that you have to proceed with caution. Open and honest communication will be necessary. Take it slow and try to be honest with yourself about why this relationship really didn't work the first time around.
