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?

On the off chance that you'll respond I'm asking for advice. I was born 8/23/68 at 10:42 AM - how does being on the Leo/Virgo cusp affect my love life? I was married for 8 years to a Leo (8/18/63) and it ended recently by him being unfaithful. I am currently dating another Leo (7/28/71) with whom I get along great - except he is unable to make the sort of commitment I want and need. What draws me to these Leo men? I have dated other men who were Sagittarius and Libra and those didn't work out, either. My one true love was a Taurus (5/3/68) and I was the one who ended things with him, which, of course, I now regret (but that was years ago). Any advice you can offer would be appreciated.
Leo/Virgo
Dear Leo/Virgo
You may be born on the cusp but Virgo is by far the more influential sign in your chart. You are attracted to Leo's, Saggi's and Libra's because of where these signs are positioned in your chart. Unfortunately these placements contradict everything else pertaining to love and your sign Virgo. The Taurus did match up the best, no doubt about it. However he also had planets in an area of your chart that deals with dead issues, therefore it wasn't likely to be lasting. I suggest that you let go of the past and start anew. Consider dating men born under the signs Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn and Pisces. You will be in a much better position to meet someone worthwhile next year however that doesn't mean that you shouldn't get out and mingle before that time. You will have the best luck if you take interest courses, travel, join groups you believe in or those having the same philosophical approach to life as you do. Don't give up Virgo's often marry later in life and when they do it is because they waited for the right partner.

Hello Eugenia,
This my second time attempting to write to you and to hopefully get some kind of feedback. I am a 21-year old female born 4-21-80 at 2:26 am, anyways, my question is relating to my status in the department in love; I have dated a lot of duds that never seem to live up to my expectations in love. I always settle for second best, I always stay with them when I know they are not being true to me, I always do all the phone calls to them and the "I love you's", and always in the end I get burned. I know it sounds like I'm complaining BIG time butI'm tired of falling in love with the wrong men. I get so jealous when I see happy couples around my age in love that I get bitter, depressed and angry.
But oddly, I'm in a relationship right now, a long distance one at that, but I'm not happy, but I'm holding on to it because I need to fill that empty space in my heart. So I guess what I'm asking is what path to take with this problem I have in love.
Confused (and Bitter) in Love
Dear Confused (and Bitter) in Love
You aren't alone. Many people pick the wrong person, stay in a relationship that isn't working for too long and so on. It usually has to do with a lack of confidence, self-esteem, fear of being alone etc. I must reiterate however that if you are involved with someone who isn't good for you it is hard to meet someone who could be. Your chart indicates that you are in a high cycle regarding love and will continue to be for the better part of the next year. You do need to get out and socialize and I suggest that when you do meet someone you have an astrological comparison done just to know what the pro's and cons of the relationship will be and how well you match up. You do well with those born under the signs Aries, Gemini, Leo, Sagittarius and Aquarius. Part of the problem that you have regarding picking the right partner is due to your natal Venus being opposite your natal Neptune. This can cause sorrow, deception and disillusionment if you aren't careful. Please consult my compatibility feature at www.astroadvice.com before you give your heart to another loser.
Dear Ms. Last,
I read the letters and the answers and am always very impressed by you. I was born on 1/12/51 at 5:35 p.m. Here is my dilemma. Things are not going well at work right now and I have a feeling that my supervisor is trying to force me to quit. I have had a couple of job offers, one involving a move. At my age changing jobs and moving is very scary. I am so depressed right now and do not know what to do. Can you help me decide if changing jobs or moving would be a good thing or should I hang in at work and hope things will get better. I don't want to make the wrong decision. Thank you so much for your time.
In a quandary
Dear In a Quandary
I can understand your reluctance to move especially if you have friends and family around you but if you are basically alone I feel that it may be to your benefit. You didn?t mention how distant a move it might be and that would make a difference, if it is a move made from one state to another or further the change could actually be quite good for you. Making a move from one company to another or one part of town to another will not be as favorable. Regarding your job prospects it is apparent that whatever you decide to do things will be a little unnerving. I feel that opportunities are present and that whether you stay or go improvements are likely to unfold in the short term. Your depression stems from transiting Saturn moving toward your ascendant and opposite your natal Mercury and squaring your natal Saturn and Neptune. This has caused confusion as well as uncertainties about your future. Having the sign Cancer rising it is difficult for you to pick up and move or to even accept change but sometimes that?s exactly what?s required in order to move into the next phase of your life. It?s never all good ? life doesn?t work that way but it should be interesting to say the least so consider your options and research the possibility of making a move.
