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.

The following are our 'Dear Eugenia' letters archive:

Article: From Tired

Dear Eugenia,

I was born on October 17th 1946 at 6:20 PM in Toronto. The last few years have been difficult but I've tried to remain hopeful that things will work out. But lately I've read some astrology sites that state this is one of the best times my sign will have for the next 12 years. Since I have no job and little money, few friends, no social life and I'm married to a man I have to take care of because his fondness for alcohol has left him with brain damage, I find it hard to believe these are good times. If it doesn't get any better than this I don't know how I'll cope. Are these supposed to be good times for me?

Tired.

Dear Tired.

None of us consist of just our Sun Sign and this is where astrology can be misinterpreted. You have actually had several years of tough times and although things are starting to improve you still have some problems to deal with. The first thing you have to do is to take the initiative to make the necessary changes in order to improve your life. Even if you feel that you don't want to get into the work force at this time the possibility to do so is present over this next year however you have to do the legwork. If you really don't want to work you should at least volunteer or join an organization you believe in so that you can get out and have some sort of social life and support system happening. Jupiter has just moved into an area of your chart that usually indicates a move or favorable change in your home. You are also in a high cycle where relationships are concerned and if you are sick and tired of taking care of your ailing husband it may be time to institutionalize him. He made the choice to drink himself into oblivion and it's time you stopped being the martyr. You still have a lot of living to do and as long as you sit in the situation that you are in nothing will change. Astrologically speaking I can tell you what you should be doing and when the time is right but you have to take the initiative and make it happen. Get moving girl; you've paid your dues.

Article: False Hope

Dear Eugenia,

Today my doctor notified me that my Pap smear showed abnormal cells & she wants me to see a Gynecologist. In 1964 I had a Hysterectomy because I had cervical cancer. They left one ovary. I am 70 years old, live by myself, and I?m scared stiff. What is my outlook, please tell me. I believe it is better to know what is coming at you, then to have false hope.

Dear EP

Your chart indicates the possibility of poor diagnosis therefore whatever the prognosis I would suggest that you get a second opinion. You appear to have some difficult transits moving through you?re the health areas of your chart but it is apparent that you can avoid serious problems if you are quick to discover and take care of any illness you suffer from. I do not feel that you are moving into a life threatening period however there are indications you may have problems with your heart or lungs over the course of the next couple of years. Therefore, it is important that you stay on top of your health in order to remain well.

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.
