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?

Hi Eugenia!
I often visit your site and get advice...However, I have one question, hoping that you would help me to clarify. It's about my sign. I was born on Nov 22, 1982, at 10:11 pm. However, I'm not sure my horoscope sign is Scorpio or Sagittarius. In different magazines, some classify as Scorpio, some as Sagittarius. Thus, I'm checking both of them. Of course, in AstroEast, it comes out as Sagittarius. Can you tell me which one and why? Then, I can tell people when they ask me what my sign is. I wish to hear from you soon and I will continue to visit your site often like before.
What's My Sign
Dear What's My Sign
Your sign is most definitely Sagittarius. Not only do you have your natal Sun placed in that sign you also have your natal Mercury, Venus, Uranus and Neptune in Sagittarius. Regarding your Scorpio influence you only have your natal Jupiter in that sign therefore you can safely say that you are a full fledge Sagittarius when someone asks. In order to figure out what sign a person is there birth time must be accurate. When born around the time that the Sun moves from one constellation to another only the time of day can determine whether that person will be born under one sign or the other, in your case there is no contest, it is definitely Sagittarius. The reason that it can be very confusing is that from year to year the Sun may move into the next constellation a day ahead or a day behind the set dates that are used in the daily horoscopes. When I started writing daily columns I would use the actual date in the paper that the Sun changed signs but many readers complained because as far as they were concerned the set dates were the only ones to consider. Unfortunately most people born on the cusp will never know for sure unless like yourself you have your chart calculated out to the exact time. This is easy to do by using my www.astroadvice.com or www.AstroEast.com web site. By the way you came very close to having a Stellium in your chart, (A grouping of planets in one area of the zodiac. Multiple conjunctions. A collection of five planets or more in a close proximity to one another.) you have four planets conjunct in Sagittarius, the fifth is not.

Dear Ms. Last,
This is not the first time I have written you, but I do understand that you have received an incredible amount of mail. I would like some astrological advice on your part. First, I was born March 21, 1972 at 12.50 am. In 1997, I decided to return to college and do my Masters Degree. I am currently writing the thesis and it feels never ending. I suffered from a depression last year with suicidal tendencies, although I did not go through with my actions. I have gotten help, but I've the feeling the cycle is not over. Recently, my car was crashed into and declared a total loss by the insurance company. I cannot afford a new one, as my debt is already quite large. I lost my reading glasses yesterday and don't know how I will afford a new pair. I do work, however the stress of my job has compounded as I have become my boss's "go to" person, even though I am only a part time office clerk and he has at least 5 full time girls on staff. I have started crying a lot again, and tend to be depressed and oh so overwhelmed. I feel I will never finish my thesis that is due in the fall, after 2 extensions. I try to remember the reasons I decided to return to school, but at present, I do not see the positive aspect.
In addition (like it had to get worse) I have been single a long time, and I am falling in love with my boss. We don't mention it, but we spend a lot of time together, and he's married. I know he is confused in his marriage. He was born December 8, 1959. Hence, my question is, will things get easier for me? I read my astrology regularly on your site, but I still feel I need to know that I have made the right decision, because at present, nothing seems right.
Thank you for your time and congratulations on a wonderful site. The regular additions are always fun.
What to Do
Dear What to Do
You have just been hit by your Saturn return. This is not only depressing but it makes you reevaluate everything that you have done up until this point of your life. Don't worry; some people have it sit with them for a long period of time. In your case it will only be there for another couple of weeks. Now that doesn't mean that it will be smooth sailing for you. Life doesn't work that way, but you should be able to start focusing on the more positive aspects of your life. The work and money area of your chart is in a high cycle and that means that you could probably find a new job that would be less stressful. You may have a thing for your boss but it probably isn't healthy for you to have to put up with him using you as his "go to" person and whatever else you allow him to use you for. You should be experiencing opportunities to meet someone new, preferably someone who isn't already attached. Regarding your thesis I suggest that you get working on it and get it out of the way once and for all. By the middle of the summer you are not going to want to do it. Later this year and well into next year you will be in a high cycle regarding romance again so you won't want to be sitting at home working trying to get your thesis out of the way. It's time to take control and set your game plan. Look for a new job, get the thesis out of the way and keep yourself available for potential relationships. You match up well with those born under the signs Aries, Gemini, Libra and Aquarius. The problem with your Sagittarius is that he falls in an area of your chart that deals with secret affairs.

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.
