I was out with friends last night and although we had many topics of conversation one that struck a chord with me was if people are born with a negative attitude or if it is manufactured through upbringing, surroundings etc.

As I listened to what was being said I had no doubt that it can be both however regardless of which comes first the horse or the cart it definitely has to do with the planet Saturn. A person born with a well aspected Saturn will have a much better chance when it comes to positive attitude however during tough times (poor Saturn transits) you can see even the most positive person lose a bit of hope.

Saturn reacts differently depending on what sign it is in and although the aspects and transits to the placement of Saturn can make a huge difference the basic placement will give you a better understanding of the influence that Saturn has on you. (for those of you not knowing what sign your natal Saturn is placed go to www.astroadvice.com and you can have your chart cast for free giving you the placement of the planets at the exact time you were born).

Dear Eugenia,

I need your help desperately! I don’t know if my marriage is going to last. I married my husband (born Sept.21st, 1972 at 9:05AM) on June 8th 2008 and we had known each other for a while before we married so we have history together. He’s been deceitful & cheated in the past, but we got passed it. It’s like we have separate lives but I’ve gotten used to it.

He has a small jet ski business and he’s always jet skiing while trying to build up his business. Even though he goes on road trips with friends we do go away on vacations together. We’re not as intimate as we should be. Did we both settle? I don’t know if we have a future together. Are we wasting each other’s time? Was he even marriage material? I would deeply appreciate your help. I was born Oct. 14th 1973.

Dear Libra in Limbo

Your comparison is a classic example of a love gone wrong. Relationships take effort they don’t just stay all warm and fuzzy without work. You match up to your husband mentally but emotionally and physically you are in trouble. Your husband is a fun-loving guy who can be deceitful emotionally if it will keep him out of trouble. There is no reason why this marriage can’t work if you participate in things together and you get the physical love back into the relationship. Living as friends without benefits doesn’t bode well for longevity. Spice things up or set him free.

Dear Eugenia

My company just lay off 40 people and I do not want to be next, I was born June 26 /1958 @8.05 am. I’m 53 and not many companies hire people over 50. Plus I want to go back to night school, but money is tight right now and I’m single waiting to meet someone to share stuff with. Please help I trust you.

Cancer Lady

Dear Cancer Lady

Your job or other job prospects appear to be safe until the early summer so your choice is to look for a stable position or to make sure you are a valuable employee where you are currently working.

Night school is still a good option but should probably be put on hold until the second half of the year and completed by the middle of 2013. It is apparent that an apprenticeship or picking up a skill that is in demand is truly your best choice.

When it comes to love, greater opportunity will be yours in May and June and will develop if you get involved in a networking group or through an upper scale dating service for mature singles.

Dear Eugenia

I am currently five months unemployed and am concerned that it may be some time before I find new employment.   The work environment for the last two years in my previous position was extremely negative and stressful. I’m hoping that my new job will be something that I will enjoy and feel productive in doing, all in a positive work environment.

Do you have any suggestions for what type of work I should be focusing on or if I will find a job soon? I am a Cancer born July 16, 1957 at 2:42 A.M.  Thank you.  I very much enjoy your newspaper column.

Unsettled Cancer

Dear Unsettled Cancer

Your natal chart indicates that you do have difficulties regarding getting along with colleagues and employers and this is something that will show up time and time again when working for someone. Any job that gives you greater freedom to work on your own is more suitable. In other words sales positions that get you out of the office or positions that allow you to work from home or creating your own small business where you get to call the shots.

You may be a Cancer by Sun sign but you are strongly influenced by the sign Leo and that means you should be in charge not taking orders. The problems you are facing regarding your lack of job opportunities has to do with the type of jobs you are applying for. Start to think outside the box and you will discover that you have been going about finding work the wrong way.

Picking up skills or investing in you or something you can offer should be your goal. I believe if you take this route it will pay off beginning in 2013.
