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: The Right Place at the Right Time

Dear Eugenia,

I received an email from an astrologer regarding my soul mate. She said that in the next 56 days I need to be in the right place and time in order to meet this person, but the detailed information came with a price tag of ($60). Can you give me a little more insight on where and what I need to look for so I don't to miss my opportunity? I was born Apr.25, 1973 at 2:51pm.

Dear wondering

You currently have Neptune at an adverse aspect to your natal Venus. This can result in attracting someone who is not necessarily good for you. It can be someone who is dishonest, escapist or overindulgent so I don't know where this person is getting her information. I can tell you however that it does not mean that you can't meet someone who is good for you as well if you are careful. Although your chart indicates that June 27 and July 1 are opportune days for love and romance Mercury is in retrograde until July 16 and this usually means that you are best not to start something new. Your chart also indicates that you can find love around the end of September beginning of October and although you will continue to have the poor Neptune transit the Mercury retrograde will not be present. You match up well to those born under the signs Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn and Pisces. You need to get involved in organizations that you believe in and you will have a better chance of meeting someone with similar interests and beliefs. Where your chart really shines over the course of the next few years is pertaining to your work and money. You should be focusing on climbing the career ladder for now and the rest will fall into place.

I don't blame you for wondering about the email your received. A colleague who works for my syndicate brought this method of selling astrological or psychic goods to my attention earlier this year. She had been sent an email out of the blue and found it alarming because it made her feel compelled to pay money for information she didn't ask for. She contacted me immediately and the following article was written to try to help people like yourself avoid this kind of scam.

Fortune-Telling Scam Hits Web U.S. FEATURE (Evergreen)-- The oldest psychic-astrology scam in the world has hit the Internet. E-mail arrives in your mailbox from someone who claims he has stumbled across your name or e-mail address while looking for a friend. The sender happens to be a "psychic-astrologer" and feels a connection to your name. The so-called psychic knows something big will happen in your future and, for a small fee, he will consult the stars and do a reading. That's what happened to Darla Walker, an employee for a Kansas City-based Internet company. "This stranger approached me by e-mail to say that, when she stumbled on my name in a directory, she got very strong vibrations about something big that was about to happen in my life. She encouraged me to get a full astrological reading immediately and suggested a visit to her Web site where readings are advertised for $60. "The e-mails didn't stop with the first one. She built a sense of impending crisis, telling me I would miss the opportunity of a lifetime if I didn't get a reading immediately. I'm not normally superstitious, but it was effective. I was both curious and concerned, but not desperate enough to risk the money or my credit card information to a complete stranger on the Web." It's hard to remain objective when someone appeals to your sense of curiosity, says Eugenia Last, a professional astrologer with over 25 years of experience. Last studied at The Institute of Astrological Studies and others. Her column, "The Last Word in Astrology," is syndicated all over the world through Universal Press. She has written five books, has her own Web sites and makes frequent media appearances.

Article: From Scorpio

Hi Eugenia

I am engaged to the love of my life. He knows something about Astrology and told me my Ascendant is conjunct his sun. He is older than me, but we had an instant connection two years ago. Will ours be a happy union? It is such a big step. I was born November 15, 1982 at 3:05 pm and he was born April 13, 1955 at 10:03 pm.

Hi Scorpio

I like the Aries Scorpio connection because both signs are ruled by the planet Mars. They tend to really compliment one another in most cases and unlike most signs Scorpio can usually keep up to the fast paced Aries. In your case however your partner is not that strong an Aries and although he thinks like one that's about as far as it goes. This relationship appears to be of a karmic nature and although I'm not quite sure what you have to resolve I do believe that it has something to do with money, health and one of you having to take care of the other. With his natal Venus squaring your natal Neptune in your ninth and his third house I believe there will be some sorrow that will develop that probably has to do with friends and relatives and communication. It will be important if you want this relationship to run smoothly and go the distance that you act as one. In other words there can be no other person who takes precedence over the two of you. You must totally stick up for one another regardless and treat the rest of the people in your lives as outsiders. If you can do that I believe that it can work at least for a relatively long period of time. His rising sign falls in your eighth house and yours in his fifth. This could create a problem where children/pregnancy is concerned. Make sure that you both have the same idea of where you see yourself in ten or twenty years before you decide to take the big matrimonial step into the future.

Article: The Next Step in Life

Dear Eugenia,

I was born in 31 Oct. 1974 at 8:20pm. Most of my friends think that I am a strange person, sometimes cool but sometimes full of enthusiasm. They also think that I am mysterious and difficult to understand. When in reality, I am very simple. Almost all of the friends my age have married and started a new phrase in life. But I am still alone. Why can't I attract someone of the opposite sex? Is it difficult for me to find someone?

I read my astrology chart and found that most of the planets fall into the 5th house. Should I just treat love and life as a game? When it comes to love, I believe that I need to take some time to understand a person. I cannot love at first sight. But love always comes and goes at a fast pace. The guys I have been with will chase someone else once they find that their target is not right. My love affairs were always short-lived. Eugenia, I really don't want to spend another lonely Valentines Day, Christmas, birthday or other important day alone any more. I wish you would give me some suggestions and thank you for reading my letter.

Looking for Love

Dear Looking for Love

You have an interesting chart that indicates that you probably have lots of opportunities to meet potential partners however, you are also not likely to fall for just anyone. You will be very particular when it comes to love. Whoever you fall in love with will have to give you the freedom you need in order to exist happily within that relationship. You may appear to be uninterested in some of the partners you have had in the past and so they moved on quickly. You are coming into a high cycle next year regarding love and romance and you should be prepared to get out and meet people from May of next year on. Just because you have a lot of planets in the 5th house doesn't mean that you shouldn't take love seriously, it just means that you will socialize, have more to do with children, you will be creative or you may enjoy gambling. This makes you more youthful and fun-loving then most people and there is nothing wrong with that. Your chart also indicates that you are not as likely to marry just anyone at a young age. You will want to get to know your partner well before you will settle down. You match up well to those born under the signs Aries, Taurus, Virgo and Pisces. Stop being so hard on yourself. You'll be married for a long long time so don't rush into it. Take your time and consider the best possible places and ways for you to meet Mr. Right. Your chart indicates that you could meet someone special through travel, educational pursuits or getting involved in an organization that shares your philosophy.
