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?

Article: Getting Through a Transit

Dear Eugenia,

Hello. I was born in September 2, 1984 at 11:00 am. I would like to ask about my transit in academic studies. Will I pass the certificate examination in 2001? Can you tell me something about my characteristics and love affairs? My personal relationship is very bad. I have very few friends. What should I do? I don?t have any male friend, why? Am I too cool and detached for love? It seems that the boys don?t like me. In fact, I feel that both male and female classmates don?t like me and treat me bad. When will I get through this transit? Thank you very much for your help! Bye bye. Please reply. Thanks!!

Dear Little worm

The area of your chart that deals with academics is quite favorable. Not only does it show determination and desire to get ahead but also that you have a good memory. Over the course of the past three years however there has been a transit that may have stood in the way of your capabilities. This transit moved off your chart early this year and that means you should be getting back on track. You will find the next several years much better regarding both lower and higher education. Regarding your friendships, you have had similar limitations because the same area of your chart represents your peers and classmates. Where a more romantic partner is concerned you are just entering a favorable period now and it will be with you until late spring of next year. You match up well to those born under the signs Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Sagittarius and Aquarius. When relating to other people you are not necessarily cool and detached but you sometimes will treat your friends in that manner. It is more to do with your own uncertainty. If you aren?t sure of the response you are going to get from others you tend to hold back. Once you get to know someone you are more outgoing and friendly. The problem is opening up in the initial stages when you first meet people. Keep in mind that you can only be yourself and if the person you are meeting doesn?t like who you truly are, maybe you won?t like him or her either.

Article: In Need of Direction

Dear Eugenia,

Sometimes I feel confused, I want to be an actress and I want to complete my college education but the question is where? In San Diego or Los Angeles. I feel whatever school I get accepted to I'm going for it no matter where I am. I feel that I can do it. I feel like I'm going in the right direction but my question to you is am I going in the right direction, is the path that I am taking positive. I was born May 22, 1974, at 8:09 PM.

Dear Direction

Your chart does show talent in an area that deals with radio, film and television, especially over the next few years. This is not the time to be sitting idle but instead a period that you must be willing to focus on your goals and prepare to do whatever is necessary in order to get ahead. You must not sit and think about it. Get yourself moving. You will do well in your educational pursuits as long as you focus on your goals. I also feel strongly that you should be signing up with an agent who can start you moving in the direction that you want to go. Hands on experience will turn out to be some of your best training. You are certainly suited to act, however you have other talents to discover and consider. Writing is also a strong possibility. Your communication skills look quite promising as well as prosperous. Your biggest draw back will be your inability to recognize what your greatest talents are. You will have to be far more critical when it comes to your talent if you ever expect to become an expert in the field of entertainment. Don't tell everyone how good you are. Be critical of yourself but be sure to keep your confidence level up. If you believe in yourself, I believe you can make it.

Article: Family Matter

Dear Eugenia,

Many years ago I consulted an astrologer about my chances of marrying happily, and he replied, "Do you really want to know?" He seemed so evasive and reluctant that I didn't push it. A year or two later I met my husband (9/17/53) and we have been together for nearly fifteen years. I have since learned a little about astrology and decided that the reason the astrologer was so reticent is that I have Neptune in Scorpio in the seventh house. I think this has manifested mostly in my husband's struggles with alcohol; about three years ago he finally made a major effort and got his drinking under control. Unfortunately at the same time-- I wonder if it was the catalyst-- I reconnected with an old friend (11/11/61) who is in the same line of creative work I am. Although this relationship upset my husband I did not give it up. I realize that this person is a friend and not a suitable candidate for husband/father (we have three children) but I cannot convince my husband that is the case, even though I have been faithful to him and the other relationship is somewhat tenuous. Is it that my husband is being super controlling or am I not being honest? If I give up my friend will my husband go back to drinking? The astrology books are not very reassuring on the Neptune in the seventh house thing, so I wonder if I am stuck with relationship weirdness no matter what, or if I would just be better off being a nun. My birthday is 4/4/65, at 6 AM.

Thank you--

"Doomed by Neptune"

Dear "Doomed by Neptune"

First of all your Neptune may be in your seventh house but it is well aspected to your natal Saturn and Pluto and yes it does oppose your Moon and Jupiter as well but don't lose sight of the fact that the Moon is well aspsected to both Saturn and Pluto as well. This should give you an overall positive skew on your relationship capability. Now you are right regarding partners being of an escapist nature but that doesn't mean that you can't have a successful relationship and that your current partner can't pull his act together. This set up can be highly creative sexually if that's where the energy is put and obviously you and your husband did just that, the result being your three children. With your Neptune Jupiter opposition and of course Jupiter being in your first house you can tend to overreact a bit and may not be totally honest with yourself or your partner at an emotional level. I feel that your past acquaintance is really not the issue as you do not match up to him well. As a matter of fact it is more like a sister brother connection and a strained one at that. Your Scorpio friend falls in an area of your chart that deals with dead end projects. As for your husband your comparison was okay but sorrow does prevail especially with regard to his drinking problem. With his natal Neptune in an adverse position to his natal Uranus I believe that he could fall off the wagon from time to time. However, it probably won't be the result of your friendship with your Scorpio friend. Your Scorpio however should only be someone that you deal with as a direct result of work and nothing more. If you want your marriage to work you and your husband will have to work together in order to keep his problem under control. If he can't handle it and continually gets inebriated you will have to make a decision based on what's best for you and your children. Your husband falls in an area of your chart that deals with children and partying and that is probably how things started out some 15 years ago however times have changed and he's going to have to pull up his socks or expect to lose his family.
