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: Feelings of Guilt

Dear Eugenia,

I (6 July 69, 2.40am) am the last of many siblings to leave home. I was 28 years old and realized I had to create some kind of independent life for myself. Though I love my mother (19 Dec 25) very much, we do not get along well for long periods, I've endured a lot of very hurtful criticism from her, but never retaliating out of respect. I left partly because I just couldn't take it anymore. I feel a lot of guilt and shame in even admitting this because your mother should be on a pedestal. I have a lot of problems trusting because I feel that if the closest person to me can wound me so much, then strangers may be even worse! Though I have stable platonic relationships, my romantic ones have been very sporadic and short lived (9 months is the longest). My past boyfriends either tried to treat me like their mother (23 Oct 66) or like a child (12 Dec 59). I got out cause I felt the walls were closing in and I couldn't be myself. My one true love (6 May 61) is now married to someone else. Is there any luck for me in the next few years and what signs should I look out for?

Dear lover in a rut

It's a good thing that you are finally moving on and out of your parental home. Once you are away from the negativity you will begin to have more confidence in yourself and in others. You were born with Venus opposite Neptune in your natal chart and this can cause some sorrow or difficulties for you where relationships are concerned. You should be checking out the compatibility astrologically between yourself and whomever you fancy before you become too intimate. You match up well to those born under the signs Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio and Pisces. Your chart indicates that you do not have a hard time meeting potential partners but you do make it difficult for the people you meet to get too close to you. Once you learn to open up a little you will find yourself enjoying the company of others. If you don't allow your partner to treat you like a child or a mother it will be hard for him to do so. Be strong, take control and most of all check every potential lover out through my compatibility feature.

Article: In my life

Dear Eugenia,

I really enjoy your column and find your replies eloquent and very interesting. I've written in before, and haven't gotten a response, so I figured I'd try again. I am in a strange situation right now. I've had an eating disorder for the past 3 years of my life, and just recently, got put into the hospital due to complications from the severity of it. I know what I'm doing is wrong, and I'm trying to change, but it seems like every attempt is half-hearted at best. I've read in several different books that individuals born on my DOB (March 9, 1985, @ 1:45AM) show a pattern of substance abuse and health problems. The year just seems to be getting worse and worse and I was wondering what my chart holds for the upcoming school year. I think I put up a front and have a difficult time letting others get close, in fear that I will somehow lose control of everything in my life. Will my life and relationships with others improve at all? Thank you for your time.

Dear Pisces

You aren't a very strong Pisces only having your natal Sun in that sign. Your chart is predominantly Aries with your natal Mercury, Venus and Mars in that sign and Scorpio with your natal Saturn and Pluto in that sign. Your recent jaunt to the hospital does show up and it appears that if you don't use your Scorpio discipline to get back on track that you will end up in hospital again over the course of the next year. I urge you to take your health concerns seriously and stabilize your mental outlook before you start to worry about relationships. You have to learn to love yourself first. Your chart indicates that you have so much to work with but with your natal Neptune adversely aspecting your natal Mercury it is apparent that you are not always honest with yourself and this can lead to problems dealing with denial etc. However with your natal Mercury favorably positioned to your natal Jupiter it should help you to feel better about yourself. Problems with home, family or friends may occur if you don't take better care of yourself. It is obvious that you have people around you who care and who may be getting annoyed with the way you are handling your life. You are bright, creative and could help others with similar problems. You will probably be more attracted to people or partners who are older or younger and possibly at this stage of your life you aren't really meeting a wide enough variety of people. It is important for you to get focused and to keep active as well as to get your eating disorder sorted out once and for all. You are the master of your own destiny and no one else can make the adjustments for you. I believe that you have what it takes to change your life but the most difficult part is taking the first step. If you don't get started your educational pursuits will suffer over the course of the next couple of years, however if you can manage to pull things together you have the potential to do quite well. You should be meeting people over the next year that are good for you as well as those who can help you make the necessary life changes. You match up well to those born under the signs Aries, Gemini, Virgo, Scorpio and Pisces.

Article: From Aries

Dear Eugenia,

First of all id like to say congratulations on your readings. In the past 7 years I've printed out and received countless self-analysis and birth charts. A lot have been good but didn't really fit my way of thinking and seeing astrology, I'm an Aries and so a lot of astrologers or society in general just see us as dynamic fast talkers, sex bombs, baby screaming his lungs out not stopping until he gets fed and there might be some truths to that, but it kind of lacks depth. I find what you've done is mix my ascendant Sagittarius, with my moon Libra both mercury and Venus in Pisces & mars in Aries into a great overall picture, I even think you've added Chinese astrology yr of the sheep into it, it would be great to get some advice on more writings and web pages that have similar thoughts and ways of descriptions, cause as you pointed out in your analysis file of me, one of my biggest traits is the continuing search for knowledge & and id love to get your birth details, to see a profile on you. My details are 11 April 1979, 21:30. thanx and keep up the good work.

Dear Aries

Thanks, I am so glad that you have enjoyed my websites. Many people have asked for my particulars so I might as well list them for you. Asc. 1:45 Capricorn, Sun 5 Aries in the 4th, Moon 28 Aquarius in the 2nd, Mercury 19 Pisces in the 3rd, Venus 28 Pisces in the 3rd, Mars 3 Aries in the 4th, Jupiter 27 Capricorn in the 1st, Saturn 0 Virgo in the 8th, Uranus 26 Gemini in the 6th, Neptune 14 Libra in the 10th, Pluto 14 Leo in the 8th. As you can see there are similarities between your chart and mine. My daughter was born on April 11th and we have grown to become best friends over the years. There is nothing wrong with Aries or any other sign for that matter. Each sign contributes to society and if we were to miss one of them the world would definitely be lacking so for those who say they don't like this sign or that they should learn to appreciate what each sign brings to the table. As a rule we do not get along as well with whatever sign falls on our 8th house because of a lack of interests as well as the fact that these relationships do not usually lead anywhere. I have tried to add as much data from as many astrological backgrounds as possible on my astroadvice.com website and it's nice to have one of my members recognize the effort that has gone into making this site so spectacular. I am very proud of what my partner and I have accomplished. He is the Sagittarius mastermind who pulled together all the technology to support all the little extras that I wanted to give to our members. Once again thank you for your support.
