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?

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.

Article: For The Children

Hi Eugenia

AAAARRGG! Not another relationship question?!

I've written a few times without receiving a reply but persist out of dire need. I'm at my wit's end about what to do.I am in the 20th year of marriage to a man I wonder if I ever truly loved. We have three children. Over the past 5 or 6 years, I feel I have changed a great deal. I no longer want the same things, nor am I happy to settle for a mediocre relationship "for the sake of the children". I know I should listen to my heart and question my mind but I feel like I've turned it over and over until I can't seem to decide. Am I destined to go through life biding my time or am I waiting for the time to be right? I sometimes feel like I don't know anything anymore and am just letting life drag me along. What do the stars say? My birthday is March 28, 1961. My husband's is October 17, 1945.

Signed,

Need to Know,

I understand your dilemma, however there are a lot of variables involved in your case. You didn't mention how old your children are, therefore it is hard to know what your responsibilities at this time are. Your comparison with your Libra husband is mediocre. I do believe that at one time you did have a passionate connection but that was long ago. I feel that you have both been very limiting for one another and that maybe the best thing to do is to discuss your options. Your husband does have his natal Sun squaring his natal Mars and this can cause him to have a temper if it falls in a certain area of his chart however without his time of birth I can't tell how this aspect will manifest itself. If he hasn't shown this trait I believe that you should be able to make some decisions as a couple that will allow you both greater freedom to come and go as you please or to actually get on with your lives. The children however should be your first concern, so whatever is best for them at this time is the bottom line.

Article: Always Greener

Dear Eugenia

My parents divorced before I went to primary school and then I lived with my father. Since I was small, I was bullied. My mother worked in another city and did not care about me. My father treated me this way because he was remarried and had other children. My mother told me that my grandmother did not treat her well when she was small. This was why she did not know how to show her love to me. I was brought up under this environment and became very lonely. I was afraid to have contact with people. I had a few boyfriends and none of them worked out. I wanted so much my own family but every time I got hurt. With no parents to love, other people looked down on me. When I was at work, it did not turn out okay and I was always faced with many problems. I did not know how to deal with people and felt lost. After so many failures, I've lost my confidence totally. Now I have this boyfriend for over a year. He is a good person but he has a very stubborn character and that I can hardly accept. He always says something to hurt me. He needs someone to take care of him while I also long for someone who can look after me. I doubt if we can be a happy couple but I trust his integrity and like his family who treat me well. Now I just lost my job and had a fight with him.

My mother came back to Shanghai and bought an apartment. Now I am living with her but my mother does not care what I am doing. If you didn't know, you would think I am so lucky with a good apartment and a nice looking face. But in fact I have nothing, no family and no career. My life doesn't have any meaning. Is my life supposed to be this way? Did I do something wrong in my last life?

I was born on October 21, 1972 at around 3:30 am. My boyfriend was born on July 8, 1973 at 5 o'clock (I am not sure how accurate this is).

Hope you can give me some guidance. Thank you.

Dear LOST

Don't be so hard on yourself and your family. Your chart does show some problems with family however you must realize that the grass always appears to be greener on the other side of the fence. In other words this is an obstacle that you can and will overcome. You can learn from the experience you have had. Although you aren't positive what it would be like to have a loving family it isn't hard to know what you consider a loving family to be. Your boyfriend does match up quite nicely to your chart however there is potential for arguing. I do believe that when you love someone and you truly care about him that you will inevitably have disagreements. There is no apparent deception in your comparison only the fact that you will both overreact at times and this has probably resulted in your breakup. Please call him and try to work out your differences. You said that his family is kind and good to you, therefore you have a base to learn from. If you follow what has worked for them it will work for you as well.

Article: Falling In and Out of Love

Dear Eugenia,

How are you? I visit your site every day. I know you are very busy and dare not to write to you. But now I really have a big problem.

I was born on February 25, 1973 at 00:15am, a Pisces. It seems that I have all the characteristics of this sign, especially the fact that I cannot settle down with one man and I can be totally indecisive. Since the age of 13, I have had 15 lovers. The longest one lasted for 10 years and the shortest one was a 1-night stand. I fall in love suddenly, but after several months, I will get bored and start to love someone else. At present, I have 4 lovers: 2 Taurus, 1 Leo and a Scorpio. I also like other men too but they are not my lovers. I am feeling a lot of pain because of this. Many men like me because I am quite good looking. I do not want to play around but I cannot control myself. Is this because I am a Pisces?

Dear Swimming both ways

Part of your problem stems from natal Moon and Neptune in your chart being conjunct and adversely aspecting your natal Sun and Saturn. This can definitely lead to affairs of the heart. That coupled with the fact that you have your natal Uranus well aspected to your natal Venus in the air signs Libra and Aquarius means that you will attract plenty of lovers and that you are likely to fall in and out of love suddenly. There is nothing wrong with falling in and out of love while you are young and trying to figure out what you truly want in a partner however there will come a time when you should know and want to settle down. In your case you are going to be experiencing your Saturn return in August, September, October of next year and April and May of 2002. When this happens you will start to mature, especially with regard to love. This should lead you into a committed relationship. You match up best to those born under the signs Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius and Jupiter. The signs Taurus, Leo and Scorpio are fixed signs and they usually hold a grudge so tread carefully dating all these men at the same time. You may have taken on more than you can handle.
