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?

I want to stress how important it is to submit complete and accurate birth data – the time and place of birth.

Dear Eugenia
I'm 33 years old. I'm a professional actress born March 18, 1969, at 1:15 PM. I migrate between New York and Los Angeles with the work. I graduated from drama school in New York when I was 24 and at that time my career developed somewhat too rapidly -in the sense that I was really not personally equipped to deal with the really exceptional professional opportunities that came my way so quickly. I had a lot of emotional, and I would say spiritual, issues that needed dealing with. I had quite a difficult time of it until around '98/'99 when I began to reform my life by slowing down professionally somewhat, and focusing seriously on healing. I also had some health issues come up around that time which sort of reinforced this move. And it has been very important and very positive for me. But given that I was working and campaigning for acting parts a great deal less (in an intensely competitive field), my career has suffered. I've been trying to decide about where to pick up the pieces. I still! Love acting and I've invested a lot of myself in it, but considering my age -I don't want to waste energy if it's not going anyplace. I'm also thinking about branching off into writing -playwriting. What do you think is the best move I can make for my career and my future? Thank you.

Dear Pisces
Your chart indicates that you have just moved into another high cycle regarding work and that it will be with you until the end of next year. I feel strongly that you should be pursuing what you love and giving it you're all but I also do believe that you have an ability where writing is concerned so I wouldn't like to see you miss out in that area either. I think that the year ahead will be a very busy one for you but certainly satisfying and worthwhile if you spread yourself a little thin and try to do it all. The area of your chart that deals with publishing and creativity is looking good as well so it is important that you do follow through in that area as well. It is always difficult when you are in a creative field because it is hard to make a living however I don't feel in your case that you are wasting your time. The only problem or trouble you will experience is if you don't give it your all and you become lazy along the way. Buckle down and prepare to utilize the next eighteen months to develop and expand your horizons in both the field of acting as well as playwriting. You may be able to incorporate the two (example - My Big Fat Greek Wedding). The best investment you can make in your life is to invest in yourself so get moving.

Hi Eugenia...
I don't know whether you accept this kind of matter as well but it is quite important for me. These days I'm having weird dreams. Well, I should say scary dreams. I feel like I'm being cursed. I live in an apartment. In my dream, I was sitting in the living room. Suddenly, I looked at my terrace and I found out a cat was looking at me with a nasty face. As I was looking at the cat, she came over and bit my hand. I tried to scream but I couldn't make any sound. There were people in the living room but no one helped me. Another dream is... a cat was chasing me. I was riding a bike with my friend and she was following me. I was riding to where I used to live in my childhood. I ran and ran; after all I was the first one to win in the race. Yesterday, I had a dream about my teeth got stuck in the ice stone.Since I'm getting an interview in May, I care about these dreams because dreaming about teeth and cats are not good. Besides, cats are considered bad. Do you think these dreams are implying something? Can you tell by looking at my chart if there is a reason for me having these nightmares? I was born February 7, 1977, at 5:00 PM.

Dear Upset
Bad dreams are usually the result of going through stressful times. In your case your imagination is exaggerated. This can result in the nightmares that you are experiencing. You have a good chart and there is no reason why you should be worried or alarmed. Try to relax a little. You will do just fine as long as you focus on your goals and give yourself a chance to excel. Where your career is concerned things look pretty good. Educational pursuits you also show promise. Partnerships and relationships are in a high cycle as well. I think that you are being hard on yourself and that one of the things you should be doing is putting your creative imagination to work for you in a positive manner. Try writing lyrics, poetry or books and see if you can put your talents to work for you. Dreaming about cats and teeth can be forewarning you that obstacles will stand in your way. Prepare yourself well for your interview and you should not have to worry about its outcome. I believe that the stress that you are experiencing is due to uncertainty in your life. Once you have a better idea of your future direction you will probably not have the dreams any more. Just remember, preparation, good organization and planning your future will help you take advantage of all the favorable transits that you will be going through this year. Positive thoughts will lead to positive actions.

Hi Eugenia,
I have been a creative person all my life and have a career as a Graphic Artist, but over the past few years my mind began to flow over with ideas for film and television projects. I acted in a friend's short film and have been teaching myself the craft of writing stories for a few years now. I am torn because my identity has always been as a Graphic Artist, but I see myself as a writer. Do you see anything in my chart that would support my making a career change in the near future?
Gemini
Hi Gemini
Yes I do see career change. It has actually been in your chart since the spring of 2003 and isn't about to move off until the end of this decade so get used to it. Your chart does indicate that you are highly creative and should work in a field that allows you to explore many different creative venues. In this day and age people change career direction more often and so you shouldn't be so worried about it. You can always fall back on graphic design or even keep working in that field while you delve into the performing arts and writing. My concern with writing is that although you do have your natal Mercury well aspected to your natal Pluto it does fall in an area of your chart that can sometimes make it difficult for you to get your work (writing) into the mainstream where it can be profitable for you. On the other hand you also have quite a build up of planets in an area of your chart that deals with communication and publishing so I believe that with a little extra effort and good timing you may be able to push your work into the hands of someone who can help you get ahead. You have been going through a transit that can help you with this the past couple of years and you did manage to work in the film and television industry during that time however that transit has moved on for now. Another transit similar will activate again in about four years but that doesn't mean you shouldn't start working in that direction now. After all the more prep work or writing you aspire to between now and that time the more polished your work will be as well as the more sellable when that transit moves into your chart. My suggestion to you is to continue your current work and do your writing on the side with your goal being to start trying to sell it in 2008/2009.
