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?

Dear Eugenia
I quit my job last November to start a new business. But I have had such difficult times since last that time. Because the business I planned has almost failed and now I don't earn any money.
So I consider finding a new job due to shortage of cash. But I really don't want to get a job. I want to operate my business.
I really want to know which one is the best for me between getting a job and giving more time to my own business. I was born December 23, 1969, at 8:00 AM.

Dear Entrepreneur
You should have included the date that you registered or incorporated your business. Often the company chart can tell me how well it will do. In your case however being the only owner I can base some information on your chart alone. It is apparent to me that your earning potential will start to gain ground by the end of the summer however that doesn't necessarily mean that it will be due to your own business picking up. Most of the time when you begin a new venture as you have it is necessary to work a regular job simultaneously in order to make ends meet. When I first started my own business I worked during the day for seven years with a company that had absolutely nothing to do with the business that I am in now. It gave me the opportunity to pay my bills and build my business on solid ground. In your case you may find that your business will pick up during the second half of this year and throughout next year however, I believe that you will have to do one of two things. Take on a partner who will put money into your business or get a second job that will help pay the bills while you build your business. Should you consider a partner, look for someone who was born under the sign Taurus, Cancer, Scorpio, Capricorn or Pisces.

Dear Eugenia,
I am at a very strange point in my life, which feels very chaotic--sometimes as though it is moving in a positive direction, and sometimes as though it is very stagnant.
I am entering my third year of university, studying art, art history, and German. I'm at a point at which I really need to figure out what it is I want to do long-term. I feel pressure from my family to make this decision (mainly on my mother's side, though my mother and I are almost entirely out-of-touch, as she is with her sister and parents). I also feel internal pressure, as though I may feel more confident and clear-headed if I can make a commitment and develop some sort of plan to pursue my education and career beyond this point. Basically, I am feeling directionless, confused, and as though I have no solid ground to fall back on. I worry a lot about my mother, but cannot stay in contact with her, as she is experiencing a time of sever financial difficulties and, as a result, has no phone line, disallowing contact by phone or email. (She was born August 11, 1950.) All I can say about my desires for the future is that I want to be involved in art --the only thing that is truly fulfilling for me. I would love to be a professional artist, but that is risky and I do not want to put myself into a situation of financial despair. I have seen both of my parents struggle throughout my entire life thus far.
In addition to these feelings, I am having a difficult time romantically. I have been seeing a man (born February 6th, 1977) for about 6 months. Though we connect very well intellectually, we are both very busy. I have a hectic work, school and homework schedule, while he is very social and constantly has plans to go out with friends, which he views as obligations. He therefore has little time to spend with me during the time I actually have free and is frustrated that I never want to go out and party with him and his friends. I think that, due to our different lifestyles, we may not be able to reconcile this, though I care for him very much and when we are together, he seems to feel the same way. My luck with men isn't too good and upon our initially getting together, I was excited to finally meet someone I could connect with, who was intelligent, observant, and who seemed to share so many interests.
Do you see any end to the constant stress, chaos and frustration resulting from my present life and relationships, as well as my attempting to sort out my future endeavors?
Please help! I am so confused and freaked-out by every aspect of my life right now!! I was born Oct. 22, 1981 at 1:45 PM.
Thank you so much,
M 
Dear M
You are a strong Libra. All your natal planets in that sign are in an area of your chart that deals with higher education, travel, philosophy, immigration and different cultures. That being said it isn't surprising that you are waffling about your future and your educational pursuits. I believe however that you must get on with it and finish whatever you have already begun. Your chart indicates that you should be in school or at least in a learning environment for the next two years although I do believe that you will be able to pick up work in the field of your choice beginning next year. This could lead to an apprenticeship, learning on the job or working and continuing your education. I believe that it is important to follow your dream however it is also necessary to support your addiction to your art/dream/etc. You are still young and have time. Your chart indicates that if you finish school this next year that the following year will still be a learning experience for you - possibly a chance to move to Germany where you can put your second language to use while you pursue a position in at a gallery or in some other area that relates to the arts. Teaching is also something that shows prominently in your char
Dear Eugenia
I am currently living with a man whose birth date is November 1, 1976. Lately I find myself thinking of an old boyfriend, whose birth date is August 26,1972. I've heard from friends that my old boyfriend is involved with someone else. Should I give up on the thought of my old boyfriend and I? My birth date is January 7,1972 (7:07pm).

Dear Confused
I understand why you are so confused. The comparison with your old boyfriend had substance but it wasn't the most favorable. However the comparison with your current boyfriend lacked substance but was better in terms of getting along. Unfortunately you are unsatisfied with your current relationship because it isn't fulfilling and that is okay. It is quite normal to revert back to memories about past relationships but that does not mean that you should take a backward step. What you really need to do is face the music and move on. Your chart indicates that you should be out socializing and meeting new people. Right now you can't really meet anyone because your current boyfriend is blocking that. Stop and think about your future and get on with your life. You match up well to those born under the signs Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius and Aquarius. Your ex partner falls in an area of your chart that deals with dead end projects so don't bother going there and your current falls in an area that deals with your home environment however he poorly aspects the area of your chart that deals with marriage and partnerships.
