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: Dealing with Depression

Dear Eugenia

I appear to be having the lowest period of my lifetime. I'm very afraid, and have even considered suicide. I know many things happening in my life right now are due to planet positions, etc. But I also realize I cannot continue as I'm. My birthday is Feb 5, 1954 @ 12:16am. These are the issues I'm facing. I'm losing my home after a two-year separation from my husband. His BD is 8-23-58. My home is being foreclosed on Jul 2 and sold at public auction, I'm disabled and live on a very small monthly amount. I don't even have an idea how I will find a place to stay. My youngest sister, whom I'm closer than close to, was diagnosed with cancer in January. Her birth date 7-10-61. They tell me she has very little time, maybe only months, she is the mother of three small children, whom I will end up responsible for if she dies, I'm broken hearted over losing my home, my cherished sister with the possibility of no way to care for her children. Is there any chance of funds coming to me in the future, or a possible way of keeping my home or finding another? My sister has no life insurance, and considering the way my future appears at the moment, killing myself seems the only solution. I'm now a burden in life, and I see no way out, please understand this is not a joke, its all real, and I'm beyond desperate.

Dear Desperate

It's always darkest before the dawn. You have three beautiful children who need you desperately. These children will bring you joy, love and certainly a reason to continue on. I have always been a big believer in nature's way. For as bad as it gets it will get equally as good. You will receive help. It will be through money that you don't work for. A hidden asset or funds that come in to you because of the situation you face. Perhaps one of our readers will donate to your cause. Moving out of your house may be the best thing that happens to you. I suggest that you start by moving in with your sister who could certainly use your support right now as well as your love. You will find that your financial solutions will clear up considerably over the next two years. Your life will stabilize and through loss will come gain. You must have faith and believe in the fact that others will come to your rescue. You have had some pretty difficult planetary transits moving through your chart indeed but you will overcome and move on as there are just as many that are favorable.

Article: Cusp Love

Dear Eugenia,

First, congratulations on an outstanding web cite. Reading your cite for years, I love that you provide your readers with helpful information for their future. You also continuously broaden our education on astrology by offering new techniques or forms of astrology. Your cite is very accurate and precise, even for people born on the cusps. Thank you, because keeping a cite of this quality has to take time and effort on your part.

You probably would have not heard from me, except, that I enjoy your cite so much that I had to write. I recently switched email addresses and switched it in the member information section of your cite; however, I haven't been able to receive my daily horoscope and my monthly newsletter. They have both become addictive. Being this the case I had to write to you. I don't know if I am supposed to subscribe myself to a separate email list. Please inform me.

Since, I finally got the courage to email you, I was wondering if you can clue me in on any astrological signs that might be compatible with me. I have read your cite, the reason I ask this question is because since, I am on the cusp I was wondering if their would be a difference. I did go to a local astrologist recently and he told me to be careful for the first months of the year. Do you see anything weird in my astrological chart for the beginning of this year? My date of birth is October 23, 1973, 1:20pm. I know that you receive tons of letters a day. Please, if because of time you cannot answer my questions, I understand. Please, however, add me to the email list so that I can continue to receive your emails.

Thank You,
M

Dear M

I have forwarded your email problem to my Webmaster and it will be taken care of. Regarding your compatibility the signs best suited to you are Aries, Leo and Aquarius. You are a Scorpio but you have Leo in an area of your chart that deals with relationships and your natal Venus in Sagittarius. This makes you a candidate for the signs mentioned. However, keep in mind that you should always do a complete comparison in order to make sure that you match up well to whomever you get involved with. You are coming into a high cycle regarding love in April, May and June of this year so get out and do things you enjoy. The more you mingle the greater your chance will be of meeting someone special.

Article: Natal Charts

Hi Eugenia

I was hoping you could answer two questions regarding my natal chart.

First question:
I was born on the 26th of October, so I am told that means I was born on the cusp of Libra and Scorpio. Does that mean that I have qualities of both equally, or do I possess both Libra and Scorpio qualities, but since my birth date actually falls into Scorpio, am I Scorpio with Libra tendencies.

Second question:
My sun sign falls into the 12th house, but only 2 degrees from my first house. Should I read sun/12th house exclusively, combinations of sun/12/1 or since it is less than 10 degrees away, consider my sun/1st house exclusively.

Thanks for taking the time
Adam

Hi Adam

Your birth time should include DST. If you haven't taken the hour off you should, making your time 6:20 AM. With that in mind you actually have Scorpio rising with your Sun, Mercury and Neptune in Scorpio in your 1st house and Libra in your 12th well hidden. However if you had taken the hour off, allowing for DST (therefore you were actually born at 8:20 AM) your Sun would be in your 12th house with Scorpio rising and both Mercury and Neptune in Scorpio still making the Scorpio influence the strongest. You would however read your Sun as being in the 12th and your rising sign Scorpio with your Mercury in the first in Scorpio and your Neptune in the first in Scorpio. No matter how you slice it your chart does not indicate much of a Libra influence however the sign Virgo is with your natal Venus, Jupiter, Uranus and Pluto situated in that sign.
