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: From Audrey

Dear Eugenia,

I have been reading your advice for many years now and I need your help. I have been working at a job in relatively the same field now for over 20 yrs. I have many fears about leaving and going back to school to study because I don't feel it's the right thing. I keep thinking that I should be my own boss and start a sewing/designing company. I was born June 2,1963 @5:35am. My spouse was born Aug.8, 1962 @7:36pm. I feel he is there to support me most of the time but feel he's secretly jealous of anything I may accomplish beyond what I have so far. I really need to get some clear advise, I know if I have your astrological blessing in whatever I choose, I will succeed beyond my dreams. I was raised in a very strict household where boys were treated with more importance and the girls were expected to learn how to be good, quiet housewives, marry someone that would take care of them. I am not that person, but am still held back by my upbringing. I have so many self-doubts, and feel that I am too old or can't learn. I also don't have the finances to just leave my job and go to school. I just need some guidance. Please help me.

Dear Audrey

Your chart indicates that you should have signed up for higher education already. Favorable transits will be with you until next summer so if you need to pick up skills in order to pursue your dream get busy. See if you can get the courses you need at night school or through correspondence. That way you can keep your job and you won't feel the financial crunch. Starting your own business is not a bad idea during the last quarter of next year however keep in mind that it is important to support your addiction to whatever your art or dream might be so prepare to work double duty by continuing to hold down your day job while you build your own business on the side. I know this may appear to be overwhelming but that is how most successful people get ahead - by working overtime for a few years. In that way it will be less of a risk. The comparison with your husband is okay and certainly workable. I do not feel so much that he is jealous of your accomplishments but really feeling vulnerable that you may outgrow him if you keep moving up in the world. You must make sure that on top of the heavy workload that you are about to take on that you do not neglect him and that you make him feel as if he is a part of it. My suggestions may sound like a tall order but believe me they can be accomplished. I know first hand because I worked in an unrelated field for seven years as I built up my business. So please don't be daunted by my suggestions - instead embrace them.

Your chart does show some problems with health so don't let yourself get rundown just because you are stretched to the limit you still have to eat, sleep and exercise in order to stay strong enough to follow and complete your goals.

Article: A Major Problem

Dear Eugenia,

You must be busy replying to so many letters to those people who need your help.

My life condition at the moment is really hectic. I'm a 25 year old male born May 25, 1976, at 11:40 PM, who just broke up with his girlfriend, and very sad about it. Meanwhile, I am also confused about my future. I've been thinking I have been lucky throughout my life. However, as I get older, so many bad things continuously happen. For example, condition at home is not stable. I'd like to continue my studying but I don't put enough into it. I'd like to transfer to a better university. Then I will try my best. I don't know what kind of job will suit me nor do I know what I want to major in. These days, I don't feel like living. I'd like to make a success so that I can help my parents'...will I get accepted?? What kind of major should I take? I'd like to hear your advice Eugenia ...any suggestion will do.

Dear Lost

I understand your quandary however your chart indicates that you will continue to be confused regarding your educational pursuits. You have had transiting Neptune adversely aspected to your natal Moon, Mars, Saturn and Uranus in an area that deals with education for some time now and unfortunately it will remain there until the end of 2001. This can also be what has caused your lack of trying to do well scholastically. Now this doesn?t mean that you should forget about trying or that you should quit school. What it does mean is that you may change your mind several times throughout this period regarding your future direction. My suggestion is that you do one of two things. Continue to study general courses that will leave you as much maneuverability as possible so that when you do decide what you want to major in you will not have to back track. Or, you may want to take some time out and get a job. That way you can help your parents financially and get a better idea regarding what direction in life you would eventually like to pursue. According to your chart you show abilities where communications, teaching, horticulture, sales and the travel industry are concerned. Regarding love you are in a high cycle the rest of this year and into next so don?t despair. You will be back in love before you know it. You match up well to those born under the signs Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn and Pisces.

Article: Loving Yourself

Dear Eugenia

I have been a member of astroadvice for a while. I do not check my horoscope that often because I like using Tarot Cards more. But since I am amazed about your work. I have to ask you a very personal question: I am, unfortunately, a homosexual. I do have a crush on someone. He is a homo-phobic person.I did use the romance compatibility on him and. It is sort of accurate. His birth date is 10/29/83, mine is 11/18/83, at 10:46 AM. I have never sunk so low in my life. I never loved anyone this much. It's killing me writing this letter because this is not a cool look. But this is how much I like him and I do want to know what is going on? Even if he doesn't want me, I just don't want to just get on with my life and forget that he ever existed. We like the same type of things, he likes to draw, we both like video games, we both like same type of movies. And we both (if survived) will obviously walk along the same path after High School. I think I'm going to stop. I was just telling you myproblem, I didn't really know what to ask. But after telling you my situation may be you can clarify something for me. It would be a biggest favor for me if you reply to this letter. If you want to post the answer on the website please do not give out my name. And if it is not ok, or disturb you in anyway about me being homosexual or that I should change myself (which I can't), Please tell me.

In Love

Dear In Love

You do have a great deal in common with your Scorpio friend however I feel that the best thing that you can do is to form a long and lasting friendship with him. Keep in mind that lovers come and go and friends are there forever. You are still very young and although you want more I?m afraid that it will ruin the current relationship that you have right now. You will be coming into a high cycle regarding between August and the end of the year. During this time you would have a better chance of taking your friendship to the next level if that is possible. If it isn?t, I suggest that you are open and receptive to more likely partners. You match up well to those born under the signs Aries, Gemini, Leo and Aquarius. By the way some of my best clients and dearest friends are gay. You started out your letter stating that it was unfortunate that you were homosexual. You need to love yourself and who and what you are before you can expect anyone to love you as much in return. You have an interesting chart and you certainly have a lot to offer anyone you get into a relationship with. So don?t sell yourself short. Believe in yourself, be fun to be with and you will find what you are looking for.
