These names of course belong to the dogs in the neighborhood. Although we talk to the owners we are so busy discussing our dogs and their personalities, attributes, trials and tribulations that we never really introduce ourselves by name.

It’s been a pleasure to meet such loyal and dedicated animal lovers. No matter what the weather rain, shine, snow or ice the daily dog walks have become our favorite time of the day. Have I mentioned in the past that we have five dogs? A Gemini, Cancer, Libra, Scorpio and a rescue I swear must be a Taurus due to her stubborn personality.

DEAR EUGENIA: I have no problems — great, yes? I read your column every day, and I was wondering what determines whether I get one or five stars? I would say 99 percent of the time nothing you write about Aquarius fits me, but I like reading what you say. I was born Feb. 13, 1940, at 10:07 a.m. –

DOUBTING AQUARIUS

DEAR DOUBTING AQUARIUS:

The stars are based on the position of the Moon with reference to each Sun sign. The Moon represents your emotions; therefore, if you are well aspected to your Sun sign, you get a five-star day, etc.

One of the reasons nothing is ever applicable to your Sun sign is that your natal chart indicates you have only the Sun in Aquarius. You have your Moon, Venus Mars, Jupiter and Saturn in the sign Aries; your Mercury is in Pisces; and your rising sign is in Taurus, with the planet Uranus falling in that constellation as well.

Basically, you should be reading the horoscopes for Pisces, Aries and Taurus along with your Sun sign. Astrology is a mathematical science and an interpretive art. It is the angle between the planets and where they fall in the heavens that form your road map. It is not predictive, but should be used as a timing tool or guideline, nothing more.

DEAR EUGENIA: I have been with my boyfriend for a little over 10 years now. Recently our relationship has taken a turn for the worse. I am so full of anxiety and nervousness that I am having difficulties eating and sleeping. His birthday is Sept. 21, 1967, and mine is Jan. 19, 1968, at 9:50 a.m.

I think he is going through some sort of depression since I feel like he is mistreating me lately. I thought he was the love of my life, and I feel tortured emotionally.

My question is, should I stay or should I go? We have been separated only a short while, and I can’t stand the pain. –

CAPRICORN

DEAR CAPRICORN:

The comparison you have with your Virgo partner is good, but it does show sorrow when it comes to marriage contracts, money and legal and health issues.

You are absolutely right — he is going through a period of depression, and I feel this is creating problems in his personal life such as uncertainty about the way he feels regarding his future plans. This may be due to someone he might have known or been involved with before he met you a decade ago.

It is apparent this depression will last until early October. Communication is the only answer. If you feel you need a mediator, solicit a counselor you both agree upon, and give this relationship a second chance.

DEAR EUGENIA:

I just broke up with my common-law partner. I have known him for the past 19 years and just found out he has been cheating on me all along. I left him.

I now have someone new in my life (born May 26, 1967). I want to know if this person is my life partner, and will we do well in a home renovation business together?

Also, a mortgage broker robbed me in the past, and I want to know if I will win that case. It’s been five years. I was born April 9, 1961, at 10:10 p.m. –

ARIES

DEAR ARIES:

You don’t pick partners or negotiate deals very well; therefore, it’s important to have an astrological comparison cast before you sign any binding documents with anyone.

You didn’t mention your ex-partner’s date of birth, so I cannot make a comment about that. Your current partner does not match up well with you emotionally, and that means trouble if you are planning to go into business as well as share intimacies with each other.

Your new man’s chart indicates that he is or can be a player, and that his charm and ability to say the right thing at the right time can make it difficult to know how much of what he says is true.

It’s obvious he believes what he says in the heat of the moment, but he also changes his mind quickly. In other words, your boyfriend is quite superficial and knows what’s required of him to get what he wants. This can leave you in a quandary, especially if you are personally and professionally connected at the hip.

I believe you can do much better. Spend more time on your own before you dive into another long-term relationship.

Without your broker’s birth data, I cannot really give you specifics about that question. Your chart indicates that you will be better positioned to win this case between April and September.

Astrologically speaking it is not uncommon to see the highest sign of sorrow and addictive qualities with the highest form of creativity and personal gifted talent. Whitney had both and as in so many other bright stars throughout history what made her so great was also her demise.

Thank you Whitney for your contribution to the arts and to your fans. You will be missed but your music will stay alive forever. Only wish you could have foregone the torment you suffered during your life journey and yet so grateful for your contribution. You will never be forgotten.

Dear Eugenia
This past year has been terrific for me; I got a job in a private school and was offered a side position looking after the international students in residence.  I am working with wonderful teachers and kids.

However, I am concerned that I am sitting on my laurels and I should be concentrating on arming myself with more qualifications to keep myself employable. I would also like to find a mate to settle down with. Any suggestions. My birthday is 18th November 1961 at 12:30 PM.
Scorpio

Dear Scorpio
You are in the perfect position and although adding to your qualifications is always a good idea you haven’t missed the mark. Your chart indicates that May June and July will be excellent months to learn new skills or to sign up for courses.

Regarding love your chart is in a high cycle now until the summer months making it vital that you find ways to meet new people through networking groups or upper scale dating services. You may also want to start a hobby that will bring you in contact with someone who shares your interests. You match up well to the signs Aries, Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Capricorn and Pisces.

Dear Eugenia
I was friendly with a man for a couple of years before we began dating October 2010. His birth date is Feb. 24, 1951. It has been the most emotionally and physically satisfying relationship I’ve ever been in, based on friendship first.

He has family issues and last fall he has decided to seek therapy. His therapist recommended he focus on resolving those issues before continuing any serious relationship, which resulted in a break for us.

I am having anxiety over what will happen or how long this will take. I’ve been giving him his space hoping it will enable him to move forward faster.
Do you have any insight on how to handle this separation or its outcome? I was born February 14, 1973 at 11AM.
Aquarius

Dear Aquarius
Having your Pisces birth time would help given the nature of your question. What I can tell you is that you do have a decent comparison and although there is some emotional deception apparent in your communication I feel that your relationship has an excellent chance of moving forward when he is ready.

My concern is that he is getting the proper treatment. His natal chart indicates that he started going through his second Saturn return the fall of 2009 making him reevaluate his life his emotional relationships and missed opportunities up to that point. This continued to move in and out of his chart until the early fall of 2010 when he began therapy.

The spring of 2010 he began to go through a transformation that should end this spring. I believe he will be ready to move forward as long as his therapist allows him to do so. Beginning this summer for approximately one year he will have very mixed emotions and tend to overreact, over analyze and possibly overindulge. Your patience will be required. This reaction can be due to too much therapy or ending his sessions too soon. As mentioned without his time of birth I cannot be specific.

Your chart indicates that you will be in a positive love cycle by mid summer whether it’s with him or someone else.

Dear Eugenia
I have been with the same man for 10 years.  He was born on September 21, 1967. I love him very much but recently our relationship has changed and we separated.  I am not sure if I should give him another chance. I feel like he does not respect me anymore.  I am so hurt and confused. I was born January 19, 1968 at 9:45 AM. What should I do?
Capricorn

Dear Capricorn
Both you and your Virgo man recently experienced your half-life Saturn. In your case it went through an area of your chart that deals with relationships and you suddenly woke up and realized you weren’t being treated the way you should be by the man you love. Without his time of birth I cannot comment on what his half-life Saturn applied to but obviously the outcome was separation.

You do have a decent comparison mentally however sorrow is evident in an area of your chart that deals with your status (marriage) and home life.

Should you decide to take him back I do not believe much will change. You have allowed him the luxury of treating you the way he has and that is a difficult one to reverse. His Sun sign does fall in an area of your chart that deals with relationships so you do have a natural pull to this man and that’s why it’s so difficult to let go.

Right now you should be searching for ways to improve your life and your ability to earn more money. Being self-sufficient will be key to changing the dynamics of your relationship with him or with anyone else you decide to get involved with in the future. Don’t sell yourself short. You can do better.

Virgo, Gemini, Sagittarius and Pisces are the signs most negatively affected by this particular transit causing everything from accidents to mishaps to infectious diseases and inflammations not to mention arguments and even violence if you aren’t careful. The best way to handle this long Mars transit is to think before you act and to use your energy wisely by getting into constructive physical activity and well planned schedules that leave you little time to sulk or let your anger turn into rage. For the rest of the sign please give the mutable signs a little breathing space.

Fortunately Aries, Leo, Libra and Aquarius are getting to sit this one out to some degree although none of us are totally void of this transit. After all, we are all influenced by each of the twelve signs one way or another.

The remaining signs Taurus, Cancer, Scorpio and Capricorn mustn’t sit this one out. Those born with any of these signs predominant in their natal chart will be able to use the additional energy and drive to score big.

Dear Eugenia:
I have been divorced for 15 years. My ex and I lived next door to each other prior to our marriage, so our families were close. Both our sister’s moved out West and are still living there.  I do not feel my sister has the right to encourage my ex to attend my family’s weddings etc.   When I hear my ex is attending, I declined to go.

In my opinion, from past experience, my ex (DOB: 12/27/37) is a parasite. Now my adult children have also become estranged because I am not willing to be manipulated.
How I can get my life back on track. I was born February 1, 1941.
FedUp

Dear FedUp
You cannot pick and choose your children’s relatives or anyone else’s friends. What happened between you and your ex is over and done with. Don’t jeopardize your relationship with your kids and siblings by letting this parasite chase you away from attending family events. The only one who loses is you.

Fight back smartly and effectively. Make a point of attending every function and approach each event with a good attitude and displaying your joy in seeing everyone. If you are fun to be with everyone will want to be with you. Right now you are coming across as the bad guy who is uncompromising.

You may not like your ex, but he did make an impact on your family that you cannot deny so yes indeed bite the bullet if that’s what it takes but don’t let him win by not attending.

His chart indicates sorrow when it comes to love and relationships so stop being the one who is sorrowful. Your chart indicates that you can be stubborn and create problems in your relationships with friends, relatives and neighbors. Lighten up and enjoy the family events even if he is present. They are your family so go win them back.

Dear Eugenia,
I was born August 15, 1955 at 3:51 PM. I was recently laid off. I am looking for another job, but at my age the statistics aren’t in my favor.  I want to start my own business but I am concerned about finances. Which option is best for me?
Worried Leo

Dear Worried Leo
The timing isn’t quite right to launch your business but it is a good time to do your research. If you wait until mid August you will stand a much better chance getting your business off the ground. The research you do should help you cut corners regarding cost as well as open your eyes as to the best way to approach your goals.

Between now and August you should take courses to better prepare you to run your own business as well as to bring you additional skills that you can offer employers should you decide to continue to send out your resume.

You should be applying for part time positions that will allow you the comfort of having money coming in and give you the time you require to run your own business.

Dear Eugenia
I am interested in 2 men. Both live at a distance. The first gentleman is a Gemini born on June 1, 1980 and we have a great intellectual connection but he is a workaholic. The other is a Libra born on September 28, 1984. We have a great physical attraction and he seems to really like me. Or should I play the field and continue looking for someone else? I was born January 31, 1977 at 3:31 AM.
Aquarius

Dear Aquarius
You do match up a little better to your Gemini partner however both astrological comparisons show signs of sorrow and emotional deception. This could be more on your part due to the fact that you are seeing both of them however it doesn’t bode well for a long-term union. It is apparent you will probably second guess your decision even after you make it.

Your Gemini thinks and loves like a Cancer and is dedicated and loyal like a Virgo. He does well with older women now but as he ages he will want the company of someone youthful.

Your Libra thinks like a Virgo and loves like a Scorpio and can turn out to be quite possessive emotionally as well as devoted and intense in his relationships.
You think like a Capricorn and love like a Pisces but your emotions are like a Gemini’s flirty, flippant and changeable. Although you can make it work with either one of these men I don’t believe you are done looking for “The One”.

Dear Eugenia

I have been married three times and always have the same problem. My third husband lives in Cuba but will be coming to America soon. I don’t feel I can trust him. We have been married for one year but have spent little time together. He was born September 22, 1975 and I was born November 11, 1959 at 7 AM.

I also have a problem with my job. My boss continuously wants to fire me and I don’t know what to do. I work in a nursing home.

My third problem is with my son’s they fight nonstop. I’m a single mom and can’t take it anymore. My boys were born December 3, 1997 and November 28, 1995.

Perplexed Scorpio

Dear Perplexed Scorpio

Your comparison with your young Virgo husband lacks when it comes to longevity. Yes there is some chemistry but there is also deception and good reason why you don’t trust this man. He attracts women and has a difficult time saying no. I believe this relationship can only go so far before it backfires on you leading to marriage number four.

Problems with authority figures, (like your boss) is something that shows up in your natal chart. You are best to do your work and not complain or try working independently. Offering your services through an agency that sends you to seniors residence for home care would probably help to alleviate the problem you are experiencing. If you are going to make a job change do it now.

Your boy’s comparison indicates they don’t get along and probably never will. They are very different from one another as well as competitive. They both have an aggressive personality the older of the two a little bit more so, however both have a quick temper. You may want to consider sending them to family counseling or get them involved in an after school youth club.

Dear Eugenia,

In 2005, I left New York with my daughter to escape her abusive father.  I have been residing in an area I loath for 7yrs. I went back to school for a second degree in Speech Pathologist. I will be applying to the grad school next. My first undergrad degree is in Fashion Merchandising. I’m having second thoughts about following through with this new program. I have always been a creative person. When I lived in New York I worked behind the scenes in TV & Film and in corporate entertainment and in the garment district. I would love to move back to NY but I have to consider my daughter.  Is this new career path is the right one for me. Should I give stick to the arts? I was born May 2, 1968 at 8:54 PM.

Taurus

Dear Taurus

You should be working not going back to school, at least not until the beginning of the second half of 2013 and at that point I would even question whether it is a good choice.

My suggestion is to get back into what you love to do whether it’s fashion, film or any other art related job. Don’t narrow your chances by limiting your destination to New York. Start applying for creative positions across the country and see where it leads you.

Where work and money are concerned your chart is in a high cycle until late summer and you should be taking advantage of this by sending out your resume.

You can make a successful move between now and July if you get a job offer that interests you.

Dear Eugenia

I am faced with a dilemma or 2 in my life. I have possibilities to have a long-term relationship with 2 ladies one born 23/10/1970 in Zimbabwe the other born 01/11/1974 in Botswana. Which is best suited or could it be neither?

Finally I may have the chance to return to Africa in the near future is this going to happen? I was born August 5, 1940 at 11:15 AM.

Leo

Dear Leo

Your Zimbabwe woman appears to have a better mental and physical connection to you but the relationship lacks emotionally and your Botswana woman appears to get a long with you better emotionally but not so good mentally and physically. Both comparisons are okay but either way I believe eventually a lack of commonality will come between you.

Your chart indicates that a contract is likely to come through between now and July that will take you overseas however I do not see this as being the best option for you and in time it will prove to be a situation that is unpredictable and dangerous.

West: Jan. 1, 2012 — Dec. 31, 2012

East: Jan. 23, 2012 — Feb. 9, 2013

I am the eye of the storm

The source of all beginnings

The unpredictable wizard

In charge of chaos and stability

I carry the torch

I move the immovable

I balance the scales of justice

And control the outcome

My courage

Makes me the key holder

I AM THE DRAGON

The Year of the Dragon is one of hope for those optimistic and eager to make the most out of the worst. A progressive, fast-paced and exciting year awaits anyone able to stir up momentum and keep it going.

The Dragon will not back down or be satisfied with anything less than first place. Innocent and somewhat naive, the Dragon will bolt headfirst into any potential opportunity that appears. There is no such thing as failure in the Dragon’s world, only a “try, try and try again” mentality that eventually finds victory.

The United States will continue to struggle until the fall of 2012, when the momentum that has been building in the political arena comes to a head and a creative vision of what’s to come begins to unfold for this great nation. After experiencing its Saturn return, the re-evaluating will be complete and the alterations required to emerge a stronger nation will begin to take place. A tough year lies ahead, but with a little luck, justice and fair play will result in ample rewards.

The face of the United Kingdom will change during the Year of the Dragon. The tone was set during the last two months of the Rabbit and will culminate in the birth of a new era that will be revealed in the first half of 2012. After that, a change of power can be expected as the relationship between monarchy and government continues to evolve.

Canada will face unexpected changes that are directly linked to its allies and partner south of the border. A strong collaboration between the two nations will be necessary to make the free world a stronger and better place to live.

Discontent with the imbalance in the distribution of wealth will come to a peak. Without reform, unrest will fester and dissatisfaction will increase for the next couple of years as the standard of living is forced to even out to prevent worldwide revolution.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Prepare to make interesting and life-altering changes. The limitations of the past are lifting, and it’s vital that you position yourself strategically to take advantage of opportunities that arise.

Dear Eugenia

I have had a hard time committing to any one job except day-to-day labor. I also do not know if I can trust my wife, dob 2-11-84, she says she wants an open marriage. We have one child dob 7-31-03 12:30 am and she wants to home school him but I think a regular school would be better. Should I stay to protect my child?    I was born June 4, 1983 at 8L30 PM.

Gemini

Dear Gemini

The comparison with your wife is adequate and it indicates that she can be trusted. The only deception between the two of you is emotional and that’s because you are not communicating about the way you feel about one another.

Your son’s chart compares well to both you and your wife however it is apparent that she is the one who is likely to make him accountable for anything he does wrong. He will suffer if you day school him between the fall of 2012 and the fall of 2014.

He is a lucky boy to match up so well to both parents and it would be such a shame if the two of you cannot come to terms with your relationship. I believe you owe it to one another as well as to you son to seek marriage counseling.

Regarding your work habits. Your chart indicates a lazy irresponsible attitude, which is why you prefer day-to-day jobs. I doubt very much that this will change throughout your life.

Dear Eugenia

For the past year or so, your Capricorn horoscopes have said that this is my time of harvest, will this finally come to fruition.  I have no idea what that might be but am hoping that my time of harvest involves money; getting not losing.  What exactly does my financial future look like and when might I expect it? I was born January 13, 1947 at 2:25 PM.

Capricorn

Dear Capricorn

The harvest for Capricorns began last June and will remain there until mid June. This means the Goat has been experiencing a favorable Jupiter transit (Jupiter represent abundance). Unfortunately there has been a negative Saturn transit that has counteracted the Jupiter transit (Saturn represents discipline limitation frustration). The two together bring about uncertainty.

Astrology is like your personal roadmap. It is not used to predict as much as it is used as a timing tool. It gives you the highs and lows you are going through so that you can manipulate your way through life. Just because you have a good or a bad transit doesn’t mean you will automatically do well or do poorly. When the timing is right for you it’s important that you take the initiative to make things happen – if you do not make the effort the moment will pass you by.

In your case you were born with the Sun Mercury and Mars in the constellation of Capricorn in an area of your chart that can be quite fruitful or just the opposite. You were also born with your natal Moon and Neptune adversely angled to your planets in Capricorn, which doesn’t help your situation.

In other words what comes in goes out. I must admit however that the setup in your chart is one I sometimes see in those of people who come into money through inheritance, winnings or a settlement of some sort. Your lucky numbers are 8,13,17,26,35,44 for mega, power and lotto, Pick four 2,4,8,3, and Pick 3 4,5,8.

Dear Eugenia

I am divorced from a Taurus; we were married for 2 years. I was married to a wonderful man for 16 years, I’m sure the second marriage was due to missing my husband, he passed in a car accident in 2007. Since my divorce I’ve been on two online dates, and they never called me back. Is there something else I should be doing? I was born August 22, 1967 at 10:15 AM.

Lonely Leo

Dear Lonely Leo

Your chart indicates that you will do better looking for love elsewhere. The most prominent being while volunteering for a cause you believe in, joining an organization that interests you, offering your help to a political campaign or networking with people in your professional field; not through online dating services. Your chart is in a high cycle regarding love and romance until the early summer. You match up well to the signs Aries, Leo, Libra, Aquarius and Pisces. The sign Taurus falls in an area of your chart that deals with dead ends.

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.

Libra in Limbo

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.

By keeping things simple you have a chance to make a difference as well as to be successful.

My suggestion for 2012 is to strive to live in the moment, to drop past regrets that hold you back and to be mindful of those around you. I have always found that if you are fun and positive to be with that everyone wants to be with you.

The influence you have or the impact you make on others using positive suggestions and affirmation usually brings good results. Being positive is a way of life. So is complaining about everything. Think about it – it’s much more difficult to live in a world that you find fault in then it is to live in a world where you focus on encouragement.

The mind is influential and using thought power to create a better world should be everyone’s resolution. Collectively we can alter the overall flow of what’s to come but first we must all get on the same wavelength. Remember Thoughts are followed by actions. Let’s make our thoughts count by sending positive peaceful vibes into the universe.

Dear Eugenia,

I was born on March 13th 1986 at 5:54 in the morning. A few years ago my sister visited an astrologer and she told her that I am not likely to find my true love until later in life. I am wondering if you think this is true. I always choose the wrong guy and I’m worried that I’ll end up marrying the wrong one too. Do you have any advice? I am interested in a man born on November 12th, 1980. Is he good for me?

Pisces

Dear Pisces

You were born with an aspect in your chart that does create sorrowful relationships but it is mostly due to your inability to make a commit for fear you should make a mistake. You attract bad boys because you crave the excitement and adventure they offer. You have a bachelor’s mentality when it comes to relationships however that doesn’t mean you cannot find and have a fulfilling love life.

Your current partner isn’t a bad match physically so he does fall into the category of partners you should enjoy during your youthful years. The average person begins to mature during their first Saturn return (age 29) however some with the type of set up that you have in your chart do best settling down once they hit their second half-life Saturn (age 42).

For now you are best to enjoy life and focus on your career and getting the most out of whatever relationships you encounter. When you are ready the signs most suited to you are Aries, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius and Aquarius.

Remember to have an astrological comparison cast when you are ready to settle down. It will put your mind at ease as to whether or not you have chosen Mr. Right.

Dear Eugenia

I’ve been with my husband for 20 year, two of those years we’ve been separated. He left the family with a lot of angry issues and now he wants a divorce.  I have done all I can do concerning this marriage and I feel that divorce is the only option.  My date of birth is 12/17/1967 at 5:01 AM and my husband’s is 09/07/1960. My question is will I find that special someone that’s ready to settle down forever?

Very Hopeful

Dear Very Hopeful

You are right to let go. The comparison with your ex does indicate sorrow and plenty of secrets. As for you there will be no trouble meeting someone new once you get back into the singles scene. You have a well-rounded chart and can get along with most signs. Your chart indicates more than one marriage and plenty of opportunity.

Although these opportunities exist even now you should probably take time to have some fun, take care of your own needs and to enjoy the company of different partners until you get a sense of what you really want. By mid 2013 you will be in a much better headspace to make a judgment call regarding a long-term partnership.

Dear Eugenia

Over the last two years I have had a lot of turmoil in my life from loosing my job to loosing my home to loosing my father. I was wondering if things are going to get better for me financially and emotionally. I am finding life very frustrating right now. I was born May 14, 1965 at 12:13 AM.

Down and Out Taurus

Dear Down and Out Taurus

You have a good chart that has gone through difficult transits and although it may seem impossible to move forward you will once you grasp what needs to be done.

Your chart indicates that you have a propensity to indulge in impulse purchases and this always kills whatever budget you set. You also tend to invest poorly and lend to people who don’t pay you back. So first and foremost you need a good financial advisor once you get back into the work force.

Secondly you should be looking into work at home options or starting your own small business along with signing up for a business course or picking up skills that will make you more employable.

Your chart indicates that this little setback was meant to be a learning experience that will help you set your sights on a much wiser course that results in greater stability.

What you do now with regard to studying, research, moving to an area with greater job opportunities or doing everything in your power to market your skills or a service that you want to offer the greater your advancement will be when the area of your chart that deals with work, money and how you earn your living comes into a high cycle in 2013.

Not so easy to do? It’s a choice you make. You can either let the past hold you back, stopping you from enjoying life, or you can dump the baggage you are carrying forward and refuse to let anyone or anything rain on your parade.

A laugh, a smile, a kind gesture, a positive act sends an encouraging signal. Become the positive affirmation in the lives of those around you and you will excel.

Dear Eugenia

I received an online astrological reading and it included a Sun square Uranus transit (evidently these can cause accidents), please clarify for me how pertinent this is.  Also, my husband had a similar transit; his birth date is Sept. 7, 1960, around noon. My date of birth is July 28, 1965 at 3:15 PM. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Concerned Leo

Dear Concerned Leo

Let me make it clear neither you nor your husband have a Sun Uranus square in your natal charts. As a matter of fact you are experiencing a trine to your natal Sun from transiting Uranus that is exceptionally favorable so certainly not likely to cause an accident.

Your husband does have his natal Uranus in an area of his chart that deals with transportation however it is well aspected to his natal Mars and Jupiter so it’s highly unlikely that he will suffer a major accident.

You have to be careful whom you get your information from. As in all fields some practitioners are better than others.

Dear Eugenia

My husband of 26 years has recently left me for a woman 20 years younger. His birthday is October 30, 1962.  When he left he told me that he also had an affair when our daughter (Jan. 15, 2000 5:16 am) was very young.  This lasted 6 years. Why did he pick me then and not now?  Will I be able to find love again? Will I be able to find someone who will value me the way I know I really deserve? How will this affect my daughter who loves him very much?  Will he be there for us as he says?  I was born January 14, 1962 at 1:12 PM.

Hurt Capricorn

Dear Hurt Capricorn

You need to move on. Your comparison with your ex isn’t good and it’s obvious that this relationship will bring you ongoing sadness if you try to piece it back together.

As for your daughter, she does match up nicely to her father and should be allowed to develop a relationship that encourages him to take care of her needs. Her chart indicates that your break up will affect her ability to trust people emotionally if your ex doesn’t do his best to honor his commitment to her and if you don’t get past the hurt so that you can fall in love with someone who treats you and your young Capricorn with the respect and love you both deserve.

You will be in a high romantic cycle April, May and June of this year, making it important for you to do your best to meet someone who can offer you a loving and faithful relationship. You should always have an astrological comparison cast between any potential partner with both you and your daughter as you have a tendency to attract cheaters.

As for your ex it is apparent that something that stems from his childhood (first half-life Saturn) has resulted in his lack of fidelity. This being the case, he isn’t likely to remain true to any partner he hooks up with young or old.

Be happy that you are free to move on. You match up best to the signs Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Capricorn and Pisces.

Dear Eugenia

I have been unhappily married to my husband of 15 hrs (born January 30th, 1966), having an affair with a Taurus (born May 7th, 1947) for the last 18 months but he is 20 yrs my senior and I can’t see us long-term! Recently met a possible Scorpio that really takes my breath away! I’m too afraid to divorce and unsure what direction to take in this department.  I was born June 26, 1966 at 7:41 AM. Any suggestions?

Cancer

Dear Cancer

My first suggestion is to set your husband free. Living a lie isn’t honorable or healthy. Your comparison with him reeks of deception. Nothing good can come of this relationship leading me to believe you are wasting both your time and his by lacking the courage to walk away.

Your comparison with your Taurus is equally as bad. I believe you have only been seeing your Bull to fulfill a need missing in your marriage.

Without your Scorpios birth data I cannot assess whether or not he is “the one” however the sign Scorpio falls in an area of your chart that deals with socializing, children and creation so the potential is present.

Given your propensity to cheat I suggest you have a comparison cast before you mess with such an intense and possessive sign.

Yes it’s true she is a bit of a diva but it seems to go along with the territory of being a rock god or goddess. Her Moon in Taurus in an area of her chart that deals with how she earns her living indicates that she has been gifted with a powerful voice that deserves to be honored and admired. There is another side to Christina, a soulful, sensitive little girl who can be easily taken advantage of by unscrupulous people. Because this amazing Sagittarius was also born with her natal Neptune conjunct her natal Sun and Mercury in the limelight area of her chart she will be praised for what she does as well as ridiculed for her shortcomings. This is a highly creative configuration to have in a natal chart but it is also conducive to sorrow, hangers-on and self-deception when it comes to the people she surrounds herself with.

Christina has a need to be loved and therefore jumps from one lover to the next.  My wish for this talented Diva is that she has an astrological comparison cast first so she doesn’t make the same mistake over and over again when it comes to love.

Dear Eugenia

I have a daughter born on 5-21-74 (1:19 AM) and a son born 7-13-75 (6:30 AM). My daughter has not spoken to me in over 10 years and my son has a history of drug/alcohol abuse.  I was a single mom and am sure I made mistakes but love them with all my heart. My question is will my daughter contact with me, and will my son stay sober and find stability. I was born 10-20-45 (7:27 AM).

Single Mom

Dear Single Mom

Your son’s chart indicates sorrow relating back to his childhood and with relation to his lack of a father figure. Overindulgence and addiction is prevalent in his chart. You cannot “fix” him. Unless he is willing to get help he will continue down this path. He is currently experiencing severe limitations due to his choices and addictions that will continue until October 2012. Problems with authority figures, being institutionalized for illness or wrongdoings is likely during this period.

Your daughter’s chart indicates that she is stubborn and unforgiving. She is angry and feels there was abuse growing up that she didn’t deserve. Whether it was the way her brother treated her, lack of your attention because her brother took up so much of your time or not having a proper male figure doesn’t matter. She blames you for all things that have gone wrong in her life. If you want to try to mend the past I suggest you start the process between late April and the end of June when she will be a little less judgmental.

Dear Eugenia

What’s the deal with my love life? I can’t find a girl. When I do get into a relationship the euphoria lasts about as long as an orgasm. After a while I start to realize that we just don’t fit, and that I haven’t been keeping up on my growth.

I often get pegged as being homosexual. I am a musician, and fairly liberal. Sometimes I think I should just give up and become celibate. What do the stars have to say? I was born March 20, 1986 at 6:33 PM.

Aries

Dear Aries

You do have a creative and feminine side to you but you aren’t gay. You love women you are quite sexually experimental, which may give the wrong impression to some girls that you’ve been with.

You aren’t slow when it comes to sex and you also have a playboy quality that doesn’t make you marriage material and quite frankly that’s a quality most women look for.

The problem here isn’t that you cannot attract women; it’s your timing. You will do better during the second half of life when it comes to settling down. For you to make a commitment now would be futile and probably end in a devastating breakup.

You should be focusing on your career and when it comes to personal relationships friends with benefits is the way to go for now. The reason you’ve been feeling the need to settle down is due to a transit moving through your chart. Thankfully this transiting planet is moving on and will help to eliminate this need you’ve been feeling.

Your playmate signs are Aries, Gemini, Leo, Sagittarius and Aquarius. Enjoy your youth, you have plenty of time to find true love and settle down.

Dear Eugenia

I am looking for a permanent job. I am a teacher working part time. I can go for weeks without getting one day of supply teaching. I’ve come close to getting a permanent job but lose out to someone else. I was born August 25, 1971 at 12:03 AM. My husband misunderstands me. Will this situation improve?

Virgo

Dear Virgo

You are looking at your cup as half empty instead of half full. You are in the right profession and are a wonderful teacher but you carry a negative attitude and this is what holds you back both in your personal and professional life.

Greater opportunities are present in the spring and early summer with regard to landing a full time position but you have to go into your interviews with a positive attitude and lots of ideas and a plan to contribute to the curriculum, the school and the children you will be teaching.

Regarding your husband you didn’t submit his birth data but I think the heavy attitude you carry could very well be the problem. You need to lighten up.

Oddly enough the comparison between the Lion and the Scorpion is quite decent even though it is often said that when this combination commit to one another crimes of passion are likely to occur. Take for example the relationship between Scorpio born Hillary Clinton and Leo born Bill, another love hate relationship that weathered the storm due to ambition.

In the case of Maria and Arnold he may have regrets and try to backtrack for ruthless reasons as well but in Maria’s case I believe she will not look back or entertain the thought of reuniting with Mr. Macho Man. Although their astrological comparison does show emotional mental and physical compatibility it also shows sorrow when it comes to career and relationships.

As for Maria she is strong powerful and attracts the crème de la crème of “it” people on the planet who will love and support her every move. She can and will write her own ticket and with regard to publishing media and carrying on where she left off when she met Arnold that is a given.

Dear Eugenia,

I have been out of the dating game for 3 years.  I haven’t had much success; I choose men who lie, cheat, etc.   There is a man I’ve known for years more as an acquaintance but in the last few months we have hung out together as friends and have gotten to know each other better. We’ve always had an attraction and flirtatious when see each other over the years, but nothing ever happens.  I think he is hesitant because he wants to have children and I have been unsure on the subject. Is this someone I should try to pursue or are we just not compatible?  I’m born 3/25/73 at 3:51 PM and he was born 3/4/68.

Aries

Dear Aries

Yes indeed, you are compatible with your Pisces man. The only negative I can see in your comparison is that one or both of you is not being upfront or honest regarding your feelings. My guess is that it is you not elaborating on your domestic and family goals or choices.

Discuss what’s holding you back and fess up sharing your true feelings about having a family and see what happens. I believe you just need to get past that hurdle and your relationship will flourish.

Dear Eugenia,

It seems like the better a person I try to become the worse things get in my life. I’m a single mother of two. I help everybody any way I can. I moved into a new apartment and I’m not sure I’m going to be able to maintain the rent with my new work hours. What I want to know is if you can guide me in the right direction. I was born August 24, 1988 at 1:17 AM.  I know I may be asking for too much but what am I suppose to do????

Virgo

Dear Virgo

You certainly aren’t asking for too much. You’ve had your share of troubled times but that doesn’t mean you cannot turn things around.

You were born with a set up in your chart that does make you prone to choosing the wrong partners however, you are in a high cycle regarding relationships and should be considering getting back into the dating scene between now and late spring of next year. You match up well to the signs Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio and Capricorn.

Greater opportunities regarding work will blossom beginning next summer when you are either offered more hours or you find a second job or a better paying position. These opportunities will remain with you until the late spring of 2013.

Should you decide to take on an apprenticeship next summer you will reap the rewards monetarily in 2013.

You have good intentions and are very caring, which makes you an ideal candidate for love marriage and happiness. Stop selling yourself short and stop helping undeserving people.

Dear Eugenia

I was born February 1, 1973 at 5:13 AM and my girlfriend was born August 15, 1968 at 9:36 AM. Can you please tell me as soon as possible if we are compatible? Can Aquarius and Leo co-exist?

Aquarius

Dear Aquarius

I understand why you are asking about your compatibility with your Leo girlfriend. There is as much in your comparison that is unfavorable as favorable. This makes it very difficult to decide whether you can make a go of it or not.

Polar opposites (Leo/Aquarius) often work well with one another especially if they meet, fall in love and commit to one another when they have matured a bit.

The problem I see is a lack of honesty mentally with regard to what you both want out of this relationship when it comes to life goals, so you must clear that matter up first.

Physically there appears to be some sorrow involved as well. This can be due to health or libido issues or a difference of opinion about having children. These problems plus a lack of opportunity and burdens or responsibilities that a commitment entails round out the negatives.

On the positive side you click emotionally, creatively and appear to offer inspiration and motivation along with sharing unique interests.

So what does all this mean? You must communicate honestly about what you want and how you see your future as a couple unfolding. You both must be willing to compromise in order to make sure the other person is satisfied with the arrangement you come to. Once you are both willing and ready to meet the others needs you will be able to make a long-term commitment to one another.
