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 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:
Dear Eugenia
What does being on the cusp mean? Sometimes I'm shown as a Gemini, sometimes Cancer. Although I think I lean more towards Gemini. I was born June 21, 1961 at 1 AM.
Thanks
Gemini/Cancer
Dear Gemini/Cancer
According to your chart you are born under the sign Gemini if the time of birth is accurate set at 1 AM, however, if you were born at 10:31 AM or after on the 21st you are a Cancer by Sun Sign. Don't put too much onus on being one sign or the other. It is the entire package that makes you who you are and helps determine your direction. The time of birth is however very important as a chart changes every four minutes and for someone like me to be accurate I need specific data.
Your natal Mercury (the planet that deals with the way you think and communicate) is in the sign Cancer so that is why you are leaning toward that sign. Your chart also indicates that you have a very strong Leo and Virgo influence with a little Scorpio, Capricorn, Aquarius and Taurus thrown into the mix to make you the person you are.
For the record - if born before 10:31 AM you can call yourself a Gemini if after a Cancer.

Dear Eugenia,
I really need your help. I just celebrated my birthday and I could ask for little more than a response to brighten my day. I was recently proposed to by a wonderful man whom I used to date in high school. (November 4th, 2000)We have very much kept in touch. He told me not too long ago that he has been in love with me for a year. He was born on February 3rd, 1981 at 4:39am. He currently resides in Turkey, where he is stationed until next month. Then he will be back home in New Mexico on his base. I was born at 7:04am on November 15th, 1981. I am 97% sure that I will say yes, but I suppose that other 3% is waiting on a sign. I can think of no better sign than a response from you. I have heard speeches from every possible angle about how I should enjoy being young and that I shouldn't get serious. The thing is, I enjoy being serious. Its one of my goals in life to marry a loving husband, and he is in front of my eyes. I would greatly appreciate a response from you that would help me in either direction. I would love to see what the stars have lined up for us. I will be anxiously awaiting your response.
Thank you. Sincerely,
"Waiting for a sign"
Dear "Waiting for a sign"
You are a serious person and I can see by your chart that you want to be in love, get married, have a family and live happily ever after. I do believe however that although the comparison is good that uncertainties are also present and the fact that you are looking for a sign to tell you to go for it means that as sure as you think you are you do have some reservations. I believe that you will accept his proposal and that you will marry your Aquarius partner but I also believe that for as much as you have in common there will be some obstacles along the way. Those could perhaps be his constant traveling about or being stationed somewhere that is potentially dangerous. Your comparison does indicate that mentally, physically and emotionally you do match quite nicely and that you are going through a period that is favorable for settling down and making a commitment. Please keep in mind that marriage vows are sacred and that forever is a long long time. I wish you all the best and a happy future.

Hi! Eugenia
I've been divorced for 2 years now. I've had two failed relationships since. Both were Scorpios. I'm a Sagittarius female born December 17, 1970, at 8:30 PM.. My ex is a Libra. I believe my best match to be with either Leo (my moon sign and the sign in my 7th house). or Aquarius (my rising sign). However, I never seem to be able to attract Leos or Aquarians. I seem to get a lot of Libras, Scorpios, and Capricorns. What's up with that? I really would like to find my soul mate which I believe is either a Leo or Aquarius. I am hoping that I am not meant to be alone the rest of mylife. I'm only 31 with 2 children. I guess what I really want to know is if there is a true lasting love in my future? Will I ever marry again?
Thanks for your help. :)
In Peace,
Soulstar
Dear Soulstar
It's not that simple. Yes you do have your Moon in Leo and that sign on your seventh house cusp and Aquarius rising which in most cases would mean that these signs are good for you and will be attracted to you especially being born under the sign Sagittarius however in your case you have Your Venus, Mars and Jupiter in the sign Scorpio at an adverse angle to your Leo and Moon and your rising sign. This is the reason you can't attract either sign and if you did it probably wouldn't work. Libra doesn't work because that is the sign that falls in your eighth house of dead end projects. All that said you do match up well to those born under the signs Aries, Taurus, Cancer and Capricorn. The possibility that love will open up for you is in the picture now however if you don't get out you may miss a great opportunity. Consider joining a reputable dating service or join groups that interest you for best results. If you sit at home it won't happen.
