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: 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: Emotional Deception

Dear Eugenia,

Thank you for taking time to read my letter, despite your busy schedule. I really think it is wonderful that you are taking time out to help other people.

The reason I am writing this letter, is due to the fact that I am extremely frustrated with my love life (among other things), because I have not had any "real" relationships in my life, and I am on the verge of giving up hope. I did meet one man (born January 8, 1980- (don't know his birth time) who is friendly and kind. He is a really nice person, yet I can't tell if he is just being nice, or if he will return my affections if I tell him that I am interested in him. I used the Romance Compatibility feature and it says that we have a good comparison, yet nothing has happened for the past 6 months. Will he ever feel the same as me? Or should I move on? I did write to you once before, and unfortunately I didn't receive a response- hopefully this time you will be able to respond. I was born March 24, 1980 at 6:36pm.

Dear Unlucky in Love

The comparison was okay however there was an element of emotional deception that could cause problems for you regarding family, friends and communicating with one another. This doesn't have to be a problem but if either one of you refrains from talking about the way you feel it isn't likely that the relationship will get off the ground. You are being too hard on yourself. You are young and have your whole life ahead of you to find love and settle down. As for now you should be focusing on education, career and following your dreams. I believe that at this stage of your life your Capricorn friend falls in an area that is conducive to being friends, socializing with one another and basically building a solid base for what could eventually turn into a long-term relationship. As for now, be open and honest but don't move too fast or you may just frighten the young man off.

Article: In Need of Direction

Dear Eugenia,

Sometimes I feel confused, I want to be an actress and I want to complete my college education but the question is where? In San Diego or Los Angeles. I feel whatever school I get accepted to I'm going for it no matter where I am. I feel that I can do it. I feel like I'm going in the right direction but my question to you is am I going in the right direction, is the path that I am taking positive. I was born May 22, 1974, at 8:09 PM.

Dear Direction

Your chart does show talent in an area that deals with radio, film and television, especially over the next few years. This is not the time to be sitting idle but instead a period that you must be willing to focus on your goals and prepare to do whatever is necessary in order to get ahead. You must not sit and think about it. Get yourself moving. You will do well in your educational pursuits as long as you focus on your goals. I also feel strongly that you should be signing up with an agent who can start you moving in the direction that you want to go. Hands on experience will turn out to be some of your best training. You are certainly suited to act, however you have other talents to discover and consider. Writing is also a strong possibility. Your communication skills look quite promising as well as prosperous. Your biggest draw back will be your inability to recognize what your greatest talents are. You will have to be far more critical when it comes to your talent if you ever expect to become an expert in the field of entertainment. Don't tell everyone how good you are. Be critical of yourself but be sure to keep your confidence level up. If you believe in yourself, I believe you can make it.
