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 Aquarius

Hello Eugenia!

I'm a female Aquarian with a Sagittarius moon and Pisces ascendant. I'm wondering what to do with my life. I quit work last December because, while I was good at what I was doing, I wasn't happy. I'm wondering if I should push myself in a more creative direction, but money is tight. I'm actually terrified of what I think I want - my family and friends would not like it, also, I've grown accustomed to using hope as an excuse to look forward to the future: Maybe one day I'll be doing something I like and getting rewarded for it.

I think life would be much easier if we were born with little instruction books which told us our life expectancy, where to find our partners, how many children we might have - if any, what job we were designed for and a step-by-step breakdown of our destiny; maybe wanting instructions is laziness, but I'm exhausted from living. I probably think too much. I went for a reading recently and I was told that I need to take a break... but I am taking a break and it's not helping me figure anything out.

Any clues to what's eating me or where I should go, what I should do?

Hello Aquarius

You aren't the only Aquarius who is confused right now but nothing so serious that a little creativity and following your dreams can't fix. We were all born with what I like to call a road map of our lives. That is what an astrological chart is. You my friend were born with a splash chart and that makes you quite capable of doing many different things. You are coming into lots of changes over the next few years especially where vocation, studying and traveling to distant lands are concerned. Your chart indicates many creative interests in which entertaining is one of them. You are the one who holds yourself back - no one else. You must be true to yourself and pursue the type of career that will make you happy. If you read my work on a regular basis you have probably heard me say many times that the prerequisite to happiness is doing the right thing at the right time for you.

You are coming into your first Saturn return next year and this is what I refer to as the maturing time in a person's life. It is very common for you to be reevaluating your life and your future direction. This is a pivotal period, a time to size up what you have done with your life up until this point and what the possibilities are for the future. This is your decision - no one else's and you have to make the alterations that will please you the most. If you want to pursue something creative the next couple of years is the time to do so. Don't look back too long or you will waste the opportunity to follow your heart. Take the plunge and give yourself a chance to find your niche. The worst case scenario is not trying to achieve your dreams and looking back in fifteen years when you go through your second half-life Saturn and you say to yourself could of, should of would of. Don't fall victim to having regrets because you didn't take the initiative - just do it - the time is right.

Article: From Rose

Dear Eugenia?

First I would like to tell you how much I enjoy the daily horoscopes. I go to your website every day to read them. I also enjoy the other sites that you have.

I have several concerns. One is I quit my job the day before Valentine's Day. I just had enough of my boss; nothing I did for her was ever good enough. I was wondering if I will be getting another job soon in the profession that I love or will I be opening up my own business with a friend of mine??

Two I'm worried about my marriage (12/07/67). My husband left me three years ago because of the problems we were having. It seems like history is repeating itself except for my husband leaving. I'm just waiting for him to pick up and leave again. Will he?? Three, my son (15/06/87). What is up with that child of mine? Why is he being so stubborn? Will he be coming back home again? Will he go back to school and get the education he so desperately needs? Will he be going back to jail? Thank you so much for taking the time to read my letter. God Bless you and I hope to hear from you soon.

Sincerely,
Rose

Dear Rose

The area of your chart that deals with work and money will be better towards the last quarter of this year however the reason it takes from now until that time could be due to the fact that you do open your own business. You may want to take whatever job comes along to subsidize you while you are trying to get your own business off the ground. Your chart indicates that you should be working for yourself or if you are working for a company you should be in a position that gives you the freedom to do your job the way you see fit, not under someone else?s regime. If you are to start your own business in conjunction with a friend you are probably best to have an astrological comparison done between you and that person before you move forward.

You match up well to your husband in many ways but there are problems as well. You are still going through a period that can cause uncertainty in your marriage and that will continue to move through your chart until the middle of next year. Between now and that time you may have to walk on eggshells. Without your husbands time of birth I can?t be sure what he will do but he is overreacting, going through depression and feeling an awful lot of anxiety.

You didn?t mention your son?s time of birth either and that limits what I can tell you about him as well. With regard to ending up back in detention - the possibilities are certainly evident. Your son is frustrated and angry and this will probably lead to him getting into trouble, facing danger or even problems with medications, drugs or other stimulants. Counseling may help.

Article: From Leo

Dear Eugenia,

This is a little dramatic (I'm a LEO born August 8, 1980 at 2:07 pm!) but I feel as though I am having a bit of quarter life crisis. I have only been doing the 9 to 5 thing a couple of years and already I just don't see myself being able to do it another 30+ more. I have thought of pursuing more creative endeavors such as writing or even astrology, but then there is also the matter of having to make a living. So my question is about my career path: Is this just a temporary rut and more a matter of finding the right 9 to 5 or should I be going a different route altogether?

Thanks!
Leo

Dear Leo

Some people just don't do well with major routine. I believe that you can fit into a schedule if you like what you are doing however currently you are going through restlessness in an area of your chart that deals with how you earn your living. I feel that you may make a mistake if you are impulsive due to the type of transits that you are experiencing. My suggestion is to try something creative on the side but don't give up your day job. I worked in a routine job for the first seven years while I built up my astrological business. That is quite often what it takes - you have to support your addiction to your art. I do believe that you have creative talent and that you can obtain recognition for whatever you decide to pursue but not without hard work, dedication and paying the bills so that you don't have to worry about the roof over your head. You do show some talent where writing is concerned. If you really hate your 9 to 5 job consider another position that allows you to travel about more like a sales position or something that isn't quite as confining while you work on your own goals. I believe that if you work hard you may begin to see some recognition in about 4 years.
