Aries (March 21 – April 19) You can’t wait for playtime. An energetic Aries, you are childlike yourself, and this helps you relate to your little ones on many different levels. You are first of all a mommy, but also a friend, nurturer and mentor. You will help your little ones become as independent as you are. You expect your children to learn to pull their own weight, and you raise them to think and act independently. You tend to gravitate toward youthful, like-minded people and, because of this, you develop a great connection with your children as they grow into adults. Your participation in all that your little ones do will help you build close bonds for life.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20) You always loved to play house as a child, and now you get to play for real. As a mommy you are gentle, practical and loving. To you, family loyalty is more important than anything else. You tend to be a little possessive when it comes to your children and to your home. You will do everything in your power to provide a secure and stable environment, so that your children will be well adjusted and confident in all they do. You provide the best quality items and, because of this, you demand that your children learn to take good care of their belongings. You are strict but always compassionate to your little ones’ needs.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20) As a mommy, you are, above all else, a source of unlimited information. You will supply your children with the intellectual necessities, such as a well-rounded library, as well as ongoing communication throughout their lives. You will never become tired of the questions that your little ones ask, and you will take advantage of any chance you get to participate in their activities. Your versatility makes being a mommy easy for you. Your wide variety of interests will allow you continue to do things with your children, no matter what age they are.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22) You are the ultimate mother: warm, loving, compassionate and sensitive. You thrive on home, family and, most of all, on being a mommy. There is nowhere you would rather be than at home with your children. You will always think of them first, and you will do your utmost to satisfy their needs. You are happiest when involved in activities with your children. Your incredible memory will allow you to help your youngsters with their educational pursuits. You are knowledgeable, proud, and totally devoted to your offspring. You will protect and provide for your children as long as they need your care.

Leo (July 23 – August 22) As a mommy, you are generous almost to a fault. You want your children to have the best of everything. You are proud of their accomplishments, but sometimes expect a little too much from them. You are a fun-loving mommy because you’ll never shy away from taking part in childish games, especially if you can show off a bit. You want your little ones to be as proud of you as you are of them, and you will bend over backward to do whatever is necessary to capture their hearts and their attention.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22) As a mommy, you are extremely practical and efficient. You are very attentive and take care of all your children’s needs; however, at the same time you try hard to teach your youngsters to think for themselves. You are a protective mommy who will worry and fret if your little one shows any signs of stress. At the same time, you can be very critical when trying to help your children be the best that they can be. You will go to great lengths to do everything by the book.

Libra (September 23 – October 22) As a mommy, you are cultured, refined and sophisticated. You want your children to be equally cultured, refined and sophisticated, and so you will spend hours reading to them, or taking them to one class or another. You want them to be well rounded and worldly, because this will help them get ahead. You love your children deeply, but you will never give up your own life or your interests for them. Instead, you will teach them well, and make them proud of you and of your accomplishments. As they grow older, you’ll come to have mutual respect and a warm, permanent connection.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21) As a mommy, you are stern but always fair. You love your children but you expect a lot from them. You will stand up for your little ones, help them accomplish their goals, and supply each of them with whatever they need. You set high standards, and will lose respect for them if your youngsters don’t play by your rules. As hard as you can be on your children, you balance this with a great deal of love, support and encouragement. Your children will always know exactly where they stand with you. Your goal is to make sure they know right from wrong.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21) As a mommy, you are fun loving, active and always on the go. You are playful, and will participate in whatever your children do. You have an amazing rapport with your offspring because you are entertaining and always willing to provide excitement and adventure for them. You are just as much a friend as an authority figure. You are a hands-on mother, totally involved in what your children are doing, and always prepared to let them learn from their mistakes.

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19) As a mommy, you are reserved, hard working and very strict. You will never give your children something if they don’t deserve it. They must earn your respect and anything you give them. You set rules that must be adhered to, and you will praise them whenever they strive to reach a goal. You run a tight ship and won’t back down when it comes to discipline. Because of this, you raise outstanding children who will make you very proud to be their mother. You are an excellent provider who will never neglect your responsibilities, and you will teach your youngsters to be just as reliable as you are.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 18) As a mommy you’re fun, exciting, and always eager to try new things with your children. Experimentation is a way of life for you and, because of this, your children will inherit a strong desire to be innovative and inventive in all they do. You aren’t one to raise your little ones by the book, but prefer your own unique style of mothering. You encourage your children to be self-expressive, and will always listen to what they have to say. You love them dearly and show great interest in their achievements. You believe in giving your children space, but you will always be there if they need you.

Pisces (February 19 – March 20) As a mommy, you are warm, affectionate, sensitive and giving. You are often taken advantage of by you’re children because you are just too darn nice. You will teach your children about unique people, places and things that they would probably never learn of at school. You will give them as much as you’re able, and when you have to say, “No,” it will hurt you more than it will your offspring. You will care deeply for each and every one of your children, and will always do whatever you can to make them feel loved and special.

DEAR EUGENIA: I am looking for love, but I fear getting hurt. I am a Cancer, born June 25, 1968, at 12:34 a.m. I divorced after 15 years of marriage. My husband was a Virgo, born Sept. 8, 1966. He was cold and lacked intimacy. I thought we matched up well, but he betrayed me.

I have been sleeping with a Capricorn, born Jan. 15, 1966, and I feel overwhelmed. I don’t think he is good for me. We have not been on a date — it’s all just sex. I have met guys, but they don’t do it for me — I’m too hung up on my Capricorn. Is he right for me? Can I find love? When? What is wrong with me? — Cancer

DEAR CANCER: You don’t have trouble attracting men, but you sure don’t know how to pick them. The astrological comparison with your ex leads me to believe you both had to be in a very low period to have even considered getting together. There were no redeeming factors in this connection. How you lasted 15 years is beyond comprehension.

The comparison with your Capricorn man isn’t much better, and it’s certainly not healthy for your self-esteem or confidence. Please get a grip, and get off this merry-go-round you continue to ride.

Yes, you can find love, but only if you give a nice guy a chance. Look for someone who shares your interests. Have an astrological comparison cast before you become intimate.

I suggest you take the better part of the year to discover who you are and what you want out of life. I believe that up until this point, you have always become someone’s minion. A good relationship requires equality, honesty and loyalty.

** ** **

DEAR EUGENIA: What is my rising sign? I was told that I was a Pisces with Capricorn ascendant, but it didn’t fit. I think I’m a Pisces with Pisces ascendant. I have always felt and acted like a double dose of Pisces. I was born March 14, 1977, at 5:31 a.m.

How is transiting Neptune going to affect me? When will I have a love life? I had a big heartbreak with my children’s father, so I have avoided love. I am ready to find a partner now. — Pisces

DEAR PISCES: Using the stats you gave me, you have nine degrees of Aquarius rising. The reason you feel like a double dose of Pisces is because you have your natal Sun and Mercury in Pisces, so your character and the way you think and respond to others is very Fishlike.

Neptune deals with creativity, deception, disillusionment, intuition and dreams, and it can be good or bad depending on how it aspects your chart. In your case, it has already made its most significant contribution, beginning around the middle of this decade while it set off areas of your chart that dealt with your personal life, how you viewed your relationships with others and how they viewed you in return. It’s not surprising that your marriage didn’t survive.

Regarding love, you are coming into a much higher cycle during the second half of this year and the first half of next. You should not deny yourself intimacy with someone because you are afraid, but you should have an astrological comparison cast to make sure you choose wisely as the Neptune transit can still cause you to pick poorly.

** ** **

DEAR EUGENIA: I was born May 24, 1961, at 4:59 a.m. I’m at a crossroads. I have been in the same relationship with a man, born June 16, 1942, at 5:00 a.m., for 15 years and in the same job for the same amount of time. I am not sure about either right now. — Totally Bored

DEAR TOTALLY BORED: Your relationship with your Twin is doable, although you aren’t always honest with one another about the way you feel. Communication can make or break this union so if you want to spice things up, start talking.

If you want to change your professional position, you should have done so or at least started the ball rolling about 18 months ago. In other words, pick up additional skills or whatever you required to work in a more exciting field. You still have a little time left before you begin a cycle that favors job changes later this year and throughout the first half of next year. Don’t make a move unless you have something in writing, and you are 100 percent sure you want to take on the challenge that comes with starting something new. The grass isn’t always greener…

Dear Eugenia

2 months ago my girl friend left me without giving me a reason, last month she told me to leave her alone and forget her. I stopped contact now for the last 3 weeks, and she didn’t even try to contact me. I got an astrology reading from Internet that told me not to contact her.

I don’t know should I believe that reading or not because there are many bad complaints about the astrologer that gave the reading.

I’d like to know what to do? And whether my ex is the one? Do we have a future together or not? Her DOB Oct 7th 1987 @ 11 pm, my DOB Sept 3rd 1971 @ 4:15 pm.

Please tell me what should I do?

Virgo

Dear Virgo

The problem isn’t with you or the comparison you have with your Libra girlfriend. She just isn’t ready to settle with you and probably never will be. You fall in an area of her chart that has to do with learning and communication therefore you have been more of a mentor/teacher than a lover. Unfortunately she is reevaluating her love life emotionally physically and considering what she really wants and apparently it isn’t you. You fall in an area of her chart that deals with dead ends.

You are in a high cycle regarding love right now and should consider getting back into the dating scene. Consider an Aries, Gemini, Leo, an older Libra, Capricorn or Aquarius.

Dear Eugenia,

How does one know if they are going through a Saturn return? I was born May 14, 1959 8:55am.  I am wondering if that is what I am going through now. I have been in a cycle of bad romances and disappointing friendships.  Feeling pretty low and beat up from the whole thing.  Can you offer some insight?

Tired Taurus

Dear Tired Taurus

To make it a little easier for you to figure out if you are going through a Saturn return or when you will be, the first one happens around the tender age of 28/29 I refer to this one as your first wake up call. It’s the time to grow up and begin to mature into the stellar person you want to become.

The second Saturn return happens around the age of 58, I refer to this one as a second chance to find your purpose and follow what’s in your heart. It’s your second wake up call.

The final Saturn return usually happens around the age of 88, I refer to this one, if you are fortunate enough to live that long, as finding peace. It’s your third and final wake up call and usually one that makes you strive to chug along and enjoy the gift of life as long as possible or to say enough is enough, that’s all folks.

The age that your Saturn return hits can vary a little, it’s based on when Saturn has transited through all the constellations and returned to the place it was when you were born. It often takes a couple of years for it to sink in and for you to react. Therefore most of you will probably remember making changes after the fact not necessarily when your Saturn return takes place. However if you are aware that your Saturn return is heading your way you can prepare to face it head on and deal with whatever transpires much faster.

As for you personally Saturn is not the culprit. Transiting Mars has stationed in the constellation of Virgo last November and will not be moving on until July this has fallen in an area of your chart that deals with communication, friends, relatives etc. and how you get along with others. Unfortunately it is adversely positioned to your natal Mars and that means plenty of disagreements. Hang in there it’s almost over.

Dear Eugenia

I was diagnosed July 2008 with Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis. Which turned my world up-side down, had to relearn how to do every day tasks. Do you see anything pertaining to this in my chart? My DOB 7/2/1960 at 7:18pm, any insight would be helpful.

Cancer

Dear Cancer

You were diagnosed when your natal chart was undergoing very poor and limiting transits in an area that deals with chronic health. The possibility of poor diagnosis was present however I feel that it had more to do with not offering you as many choices as you actually have.

With a similar transit moving through this area of your chart I believe its time to readdress your options between now and July. An obscure form of treatment will lead to the best results.

Dear Eugenia

Dear Eugenia

Feeling unfulfilled in my love life, been married for 15 years to a wonderful spouse (Jan. 30,1966) and parent to our 3 children but is not my soul mate. I am sure of this and have been for a long time. Cannot leave as we have a very sick child and it takes us both to give proper care. In the last 6 weeks, I let go of someone very dear to me (May 7,1947) who I thought was my soul mate and it’s been incredibly tough, almost impossible at times, trying to get over it.  Will I find love like this again? I was born June 26, 1966 at 7:41 AM.

Cancer

Dear Cancer

Your Taurus friend doesn’t match up to you all that well astrologically. In fact it was only meant to be a secret affair nothing more. As for your Capricorn husband the comparison is better and although it indicates emotional deception and sorrow surrounding children it has the potential to go the distance. In fact emotionally, mentally and physically it’s pretty good.

What has happened is both of you have poured so much into your family/children’s needs that you have let the love dwindle down to nothing but a friendship.

Yes you both could probably find someone you match up to better but this is what you have and unless you move forward openly and honestly you aren’t likely to achieve the happiness you both deserve.

Start an open dialogue and I believe together you will come up with a good way to move forward where you both have freedom as well as do what’s right for your children. Don’t be surprised if your husband feels as unfulfilled as you do.

Dear Eugenia

In late 2010 I finalized my divorce and am living in the house that was refinanced to pay off my ex (2/7/57). I would like to sell and move closer to work, but do need to make some improvements in order to actually come out ahead.  When would go be a good time to sell?

Also, I am seeing a guy (5/12/1952), but still think about another (7/3/1968), any insight into these two men?

Just Wondering

Dear Just Wondering

You should have already made the improvements to your house and put it on the market at least a year ago. Your next windows of opportunity are mid July until late August, mid November until mid April 2013 however the last long transit will also be burdened with transiting Saturn meaning you aren’t likely to get your asking price or your money out in full. If you sell sooner rather than later you may make some money but if that’s the case your ex may approach you for compensation.

You match up better to your Taurus friend but sorrow is present with regard to personal contracts, money, and chronic health issues. The comparison with your Cancer friend isn’t bad either however sorrow prevails when it comes to opportunity and financial investment as well as with emotional issues pertaining to marriage and legal matters.

Your chart indicates that love is in a high cycle in August, September of this year and April, May of next. You can use these times to either meet someone new or to reconnect with your Cancer man or take your relationship with your Taurus to the next level.

Dear Eugenia

Having relationship issues with my boyfriend of 8 years. His birthday is January 16th, 1984 and he was born at 5:45am, and I was born April 21, 1986 at 5:45 pm. I don’t feel like I can trust him anymore after finding text messages on his phone between him and another women. He claims nothing happened but his explanations for who these people are, is very weak and always the same. We do not live together for financial reasons so I don’t know what he does when we are apart at night. I truly feel he is my soul mate and we are meant to be together but I just don’t know if I should trust him anymore. What do you think?

Unsure

Dear Unsure

You should be unsure. Firstly astrologically speaking you definitely are not soul mates. The comparison lacks mentally, physically and emotionally. Deception and disillusionment are apparent.

Pregnancy does stand out over the upcoming year if you don’t take proper precautions. This sort of dilemma will not make your relationship better. Your Capricorn man is not ready to settle down now or in the near future and if he does it is likely he will end up divorced. He needs more time to play the game of love and with you or without I believe he will do just that.

One of the most important factors to his future success has to deal with letting go of any regrets or ill feelings he may be harboring. With a chart like his it isn’t easy to forgive and forget although he does hide it well. How well however will be imperative if he wants to regain his status quo.

Legal matters can go either way for Conan between now and the new fall season. His negotiations must be timed impeccably in order to get the most mileage out of the favorable transits he has heading his way between now and then.

Wasting time going after the wrong business enterprise will lead to poor relationships with partners and associates making it vital that he gets good advice before making a decision. Conan has a well-rounded chart but in times of difficult transits even the best of charts can bring sour results. He should concentrate on self-improvement first, positive marketing strategy second and most important using his energy to develop creative material not regrets, poor decisions or ill thought out management.

Dear Eugenia

I am an Aquarius female and I am in a relationship with a Gemini male. We have a very hot and cold relationship. The main issue is that he is much younger than me. Our age difference doesn’t bother him and he says he is ready for a commitment. The problem is he has bipolar and I am always the victim of his mood swings. He has damaged my home in his bits of rage and has also broken my heart twice by cheating with younger women. He has abandonment issues because he was taken from his mother as a child.

I want to know if this relationship can work. His birthday is June 17, 1993 and mine is January 24, 1979 at 7:31 PM.

Uncertain

Dear Uncertain,

You should be uncertain. The comparison is workable but only because you are a glutton for punishment. With your natal Moon Venus Neptune conjunction adversely positioned to your natal Saturn you definitely can use astrological help when it comes to making life choices regarding love and your home and domestic life. Your chart indicates that you are likely to end up pregnant and feeling stuck if you don’t move on now.

Your Gemini friend will do just fine once he latches on to someone else who is willing to put up with his deceit, his mood swings and his manipulation. His chart indicates that he was born with abusive anger management issues that are not likely to change even if he concurs to sign up for psychotherapy.

Please do not entertain the thought of having children with this partner. If you cannot bring yourself to leave this abusive situation that’s your prerogative but don’t inflict it on the innocent.

Dear Eugenia,

I met a nice guy. I’m 39 and he’s (soon to be 41). I’ve expressed my desire for marriage and kids and he expressed the same thing. But I’ve been unlucky in past relationships and am curious to see if this one has some real staying power. He was born March 4, 1971 @11:05 am and I was born September 18, 1972 @ 3 pm. I’m worried about his Gemini Ascendant as I know they tend to be wanderers. Could this finally be the man I will have children with?

Virgo

Dear Virgo

I’m actually more concerned with the three planets your Pisces man has in Sagittarius than the late Gemini ascendant. With his natal Jupiter conjunct his natal Neptune adversely positioned to his natal Mercury conjunct his natal Sun he may have a propensity to say what he thinks you want to hear. However, I must say there is something about the comparison that does pull you together and the fact that you have met when you are both more mature does give this relationship greater potential to go the distance.

The physical connection is splendid and although it does lack a bit mentally I believe you have a karmic connection to one another that must be played out to the end. The karma may very well be having a child together.

Dear Eugenia,

I’m hoping you can give me some insight on my recent love troubles. I was in a 4 and a half-year relationship with a man that I had my heart & future set on and the relationship ended a week before this past Christmas. I’m extremely heartbroken over it and I guess I just want to know if it was for the best and if I’m ever going to find a man that is going to want to make me happy & love me the way I need to be loved.

I’m still hoping my ex will make a real effort to get me back and make the changes that would make me happy but I don’t know if he ever will. His birthday is March 20, 1975 and mine is May 9, 1979 at 3:38 PM. I just want to know if I should make my heart move on or if I should hold out for another chance with him.

Taurus

Dear Taurus

Your comparison with your Pisces man denotes emotional deception. I don’t believe you are on the same page with regard to what you want a relationship to be. I’m actually surprised that you stayed together for over four years.

Greater opportunities are heading your way with regard to love and marriage so don’t give up hope. You match up well to the signs Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius and Aquarius, take note Pisces is not included in the mix.

Dear Eugenia,

I’m very disappointed that I have no fire in me- no excitement, no passion. I’ve always felt like I’ve been such a boring character. I have so many thoughts and ideas flowing through my mind, but I can’t project them to the world. I’m nervous lack confidence and feel I’m so one-sided that I don’t relate well to others.

I find myself to be a very interesting person on the inside: I have been blessed with many artistic talents, superior intelligence (according to my psychologist), and strong willpower. That’s all wonderful, but unfortunately I miss out on opportunities because of my lack of joie de vivre. Could this be because of the absence of fire in my chart? I was born February 7, 1994 at 6:04 AM.

Dissatisfied Aquarius

Dear Dissatisfied Aquarius

You are still very young and have lots of life experience to go through before you will feel confident and secure enough to share your thoughts but don’t interpret that as being boring. Good grief you are an Aquarius – what could be more exciting. Thank goodness you have planets in Scorpio and Capricorn to keep you level headed and Venus and Saturn in Pisces helping you see the world through passionate eyes.

With your natal Mercury in Pisces well aspected to your natal Moon and Jupiter you will find it much easier to deliver your thoughts as you mature. Right now you are still second-guessing your every move and thinking that everyone out there knows more than you do.

The most important thing you can do right now is to get the educational background to pursue your dreams. Once you feel comfortable with the knowledge you have you will no doubt be a forerunner in whatever field you choose as well as in your personal life.

Dear Eugenia,

I’m in love with someone who I have had an on and off again relationship with for a year and a half.  We have been through a lot and a few days ago he told me that our relationship was all about sex for him. I find this hard to believe. Every time we begin to get close he shuts down and pushes me away. I just want to know if I should move on from this relationship or if I should fight for him.

His birthday is Feb 10, 1977 and I was born April 13, 1984 at 1 PM.

Aries

Dear Aries

Not the best comparison. Sorrow is prominent along with his inability to make a commitment. He has an overrated opinion of himself and appears to be a bit of a ladies man. As for you, I feel you can do much better if you move on. You will be coming into a much higher cycle regarding love during the second half of the year and the first half of 2013.

Your chart indicates that you should be more concerned with your career and doing everything in your power to become as self-sufficient as possible. The more you have to offer the higher caliber partner you will attract.

Dear Eugenia

I have recently lost my job. I am surprised because in my profession they usually do not fire people, as there is a shortage of such specialized workers. And I am even more surprised that I am not getting any response from the companies where I have applied, though people are being hired every day. I want to know if there is some curse on me or is something going on in my horoscope that causing this to occur? I was born May 31, 1956 at 10 AM.

Gemini

Dear Gemini

You have been undergoing a transit that has stifled your professional options and caused uncertainty where work is concerned. This has been in place since the end of last year and unfortunately continues until the fall. Although you may begin to have more luck beginning in July it isn’t likely you will feel secure professionally before the end of the year.

With transiting Mars moving through an area of your chart that deals with how you earn your living until mid summer you should be considering how to use your time to diversify your talents and open windows of opportunity in other fields.

Traveling, picking up more skills or volunteering in your community will all help you get through your dry spell as well as prepare you for better opportunities during the second half of the year.

So when will Mars turn retrograde again and in what sign? December 2013 Mars will move into Libra and instead of leaving that constellation it will turn retrograde March 2, 2014 and remain in Libra until July 27^th. It will be the cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn) turn to play with the mighty red planet.

Keep in mind that Mars transiting through the sign Virgo has been a period that favors being introspective and working diligently perfecting and getting things ready for what’s to come. Preparation is what’s important during this type of long transit.

However, when Mars transits through Libra for an extended period of time it is not one in the same. This will be a time to socialize and to try new activities, a time for entertainment and putting your most pleasing personality forward for all to see.

Diplomacy will be your best approach to whatever or whoever you come up against.

So although Mars is a fast paced aggressive and determined planet to deal with it remains dependent on the constellation it is passing through with regard to what you should expect and how you should handle this small but mighty force.

Dear Eugenia

I’m with a married man…I know don’t cringe  - we have been quite serious in our relationship-we were friends first, and gradually we began to have strong emotions for each other -we are very close almost like best friends and best lovers all the time-just natural. He’s a Scorpio (25/10/56)… married to a Capricorn (11/01/1960)-she’s the complete opposite of both of us; he married her because she got pregnant over 20yrs ago. I’m not the other woman, I am the woman, or am I?  That is the question- is he true or is he playing me? I was born March 19, 1970 at 6 PM.

Pisces

Dear Pisces

Okay – here is the astrological lowdown. Your Scorpio has his natal Mercury in Libra therefore he thinks like a Libra and that means he procrastinates. Therefore he has trouble making up his mind. He is experiencing a Saturn transit that will continue to hit his chart until the fall so my advice to you if you really want to push this man to leave his wife and family is to give him an ultimatum now and wait it out until the fall.

He does match up better astrologically to his wife, but not well enough to warrant staying in the relationship he is in. Your connection to him appears to be one of a karmic nature so I understand why you are there but am encouraging you to test the waters by dating other people.

You will have some good love transits beginning in June and ending spring of next year. Although the sign Scorpio can be good for you, your current Scorpio isn’t and his chart denotes that he lacks strength courage or honesty. I’m sure you will not see it this way but as we all know love is blind.

Dear Eugenia,

The guy I have been dating for two months was born April 30 1979 at10:00pm, I was born September 10, 1983 at 4:40 PM. We get along very well.  We have not been sexual yet, although the chemistry is mutually strong.

I am beginning to like this man a lot but my relationship compass has never been good… I tend to find the best in everybody.

Could you do a comparison for me?  Feel free to be blunt.

Virgo

Dear Virgo

In case you haven’t noticed I’m not one to sugarcoat. I happen to like the comparison a lot and feel it’s certainly worth pursuing. All relationships take work and it is obvious in your comparison with your Taurus man that communication can make or break this union. Mentally, emotionally and physically you match up beautifully making this relationship one you should nurture.

Dear Eugenia

I am an Aquarius (02/09/1986 at 8:53 PM) and I have been in a rough relationship with a Taurus man (04/21/1988).  I admit as an Aquarius I can be detached and don’t’ always give him the affection he wants. I know I have said some hurtful things to him as well. During the relationship I found out he carried on 2 different relationships. Recently he went out of town and now he’s telling me wants space.

This past week however I found out I was pregnant and he’s very upset and wants me to terminate the pregnancy because he’s not ready. He’s also telling me that I did this on purpose and that I’m just trying to trap him, but that’s not true. I’m considering keeping the baby and when I told him this he said he was done for good. I just want him to have a relationship with this child. My question at this point is will he come around, I know can’t force too, but I’m just so lost right now.

Aquarius

Dear Aquarius

Putting pressure on a Bull is futile; however I must admit rarely do I see an astrological comparison of this magnitude. The unfortunate thing is when a comparison is this good it is also taken for granted instead of protected and cherished, as all good relationships need to be right from the beginning.

I understand your need to have the baby and think you should proceed however you mustn’t put pressure on your Taurus or he will back away. Have the baby because you want to and because you are willing to move forward with or without Your Bull. Hopefully your Taurus will come to his senses and realize how much he loves you and the child you made together.

Okay – call me an old teenybopper if you want but Pisces born Justin Bieber is just so unbelievably talented that I admit I’m totally taken with his nice guy charismatic can do everything persona. He has a stellar chart that only poses two adverse aspects to worry about. He’s innovative quick to catch on and yet sensitive compassionate and pretty good looking if I do say so myself.

Dealing with the negative his natal Moon is poorly aspected to his natal Uranus and Neptune. This can cause problems with people from his past who come out of the woodwork looking for a handout or those giving him a sob story playing on his kindness and generosity. The other is his natal Pluto is adversely aspected to his natal Mercury and Mars in an area of his chart that deals with authority transportation and communication. This can result in being misinterpreted, being roughly treated in foreign countries or taken advantage of by his financial/legal advisors.

The good thing is that this young man is smarter than your average guy and inquisitive enough to stay on top of his business, plus both difficult aspects are protected by his genuine Good Samaritan attitude and a mother who isn’t likely to let anyone mess with her little man.

On the positive side he’s smart, he’s driven and he’s fair. He thinks like an trendsetting Aquarius, loves like a sensitive Pisces, weighs the pros and cons of any emotional issue he faces like a Libra and is practical hardworking and born with the good fortune of a Capricorn. Yeserrie the Bieber’s chart is a recipe for continued success.

Dear Eugenia

Can you tell me why things are so crazy between with my spouse right now?  He claims I never want to do anything with him, that I am not a “partner” to him.

He is a Virgo, born September 20, 1958.  Do we stand a chance?  Last year we did some marriage counseling. I have been with this man since I was 21 years old. Are we not meant to be together? I have just switched gears & started a full-time job with lots of opportunity. I was born June 16, 1964 at 10 AM.

Confused Gemini

Dear Confused Gemini

Unfortunately things are about to get rougher if you don’t both take an honest look at your relationship. Relationships take work and often when I see a comparison that is packed full of amazing planetary connections I also find that neither party puts effort into maintaining what they have.

Your husband is a critical person – a complainer – there is no doubt about that but you can tend to be a homebody and don’t always want to share his interests.

Going back to work full-time is probably the best thing you can do for you as well as for your marriage. Hopefully not too much negativity has ruined a perfectly workable relationship.

It is likely your husband has been comparing you and your relationship to others and this is where his dissatisfaction has come into play. I suggest you get back to marriage counseling and start talking honestly about what your expectations as a couple are.

The upcoming year you will both be overreacting and this can easily push you further apart if you don’t do something now.

Dear Eugenia

I am distressed about what looks like a falling out with my daughter (2/3/85, 10:50 am). I became upset about something and when I said I didn’t want to talk about it she took it personally and she became very cool to me. I did apologize. Now she won’t take my calls. She is leaving the country soon for work and will be gone a year or more and I want to see her.  This is not the first time, she thinks she is right and won’t compromise. She chooses to shut down instead. She is very dear to me.   Can this rift be repaired?  Thank you. I was born November 5, 1954 at 8:22 PM.

Scorpio

Dear Scorpio

Despite the fact you are both fixed signs you do have a remarkable comparison. What you have to understand about your daughter is that she tends to detach herself when the going gets rough. However, on the other hand you tend to be relentless when you have your mind set on something.

Unfortunately this past year both of you have been undergoing a transit that has caused stubbornness and overreacting. This situation will begin to improve this summer. Should your daughter leaves without saying goodbye you should make an effort to visit her when she will be less shut down and more receptive to making up late June early July or January February 2013.

Dear Eugenia

I, born 8/7/62 at 5:02 PM have been married for 27 years and this past Christmas I left. I’ve been unhappy with myself the past few years and also met another man 2/5/61.  He was my first love and we reunited on Oct 2010.

We were together on and off for a year when he decided to go back to his old girlfriend 4/5/49 in November. I was devastated because I thought by me leaving my husband; we would be together.

He still calls and texts every once and a while, but I want him back.  I’m so lost. If I stayed in my marriage husband 5/12/61 I would be unhappy, I have lost everything. Any Advice

Lonely Leo

Dear Lonely Leo

You are overly emotional and have been since last summer. This has caused your situation to escalate to where it’s at now. Although your relationship with your husband wasn’t perfect and did show emotional deception and uncertainty it is more engaging than the comparison you have with your first love.

If it’s any consolation your old flame doesn’t match up any better to his girlfriend however she appears to be better suited to him physically. I’m sure they argue and makeup often.

Your chart indicates there will be more opportunity to be with someone in April May and June. The transit you will be experiencing can also bring people from your past back into your life (your ex husband or first love) however you are best to opt for someone new.

Dear Eugenia
I was born 4/14/58 at 10:10 AM. I have been in a challenging marriage for a long time with a Gemini born 6/2/56. I have stayed in the marriage to keep my family together.
Over the past year, I met a gentleman born 7/13/55 who has mutual feeling for me. He has been divorced for 4 years after a 30-year marriage. He is dating someone on & off but he says he is not committed to that relationship.

I am considering ending my marriage, in order to explore this relationship. My question for you is which partner do you see as being better suited for me.
Aries

Dear Aries
You actually match up well to both your husband and your Cancer friend however the comparison with your spouse has a slight edge. Unfortunately both comparisons show signs of deception but I believe it is more to do with you regarding your husband and certainly can go both ways with your friend.

It’s evident that you feel your friend can offer a more exciting and adventuresome relationship but with the adventure comes heartache as well.

The area of your chart that deals with marriage has been and still is going through a make it or break it period until the fall of this year. Come October you will be in a better position to size up your situation and decide whether to rekindle your relationship with your spouse or to continue your relationship with your friend.

Between now and the fall consider a trial separation. Your chart has shown emotional confusion regarding love and your relationships since April 2009 and although this is coming to an end later this year it may be too little too late for your marriage.

Dear Eugenia
I’ve been separated for two years and am working towards finalizing my divorce. My ex is not taking responsibility for our children’s needs financially or emotionally. I am self-represented he is not. My children and I cannot afford to live in the matrimonial home on just my income. I’ve been debating renting or rent-to-own. It would mean financial stress.
I’ve also been thinking of someone in my past that I still have feelings for (his birthday October 31, 1969). I feel as if our journey isn’t over as a couple. I was born September 4, 1970 at 5:30 AM.

So my questions are, will the legal battles end soon? Should I err on the side of caution and just rent for the moment and are my instincts right regarding this man from my past?
Virgo

Dear Virgo
Without your ex-husbands birth data I cannot tell which one of you is sitting in a better position but what I can tell you is that you should get legal aid in order to get what you and your children deserve. Ask your lawyer to include the legal costs in the settlement. Find a lawyer immediately and try to end your battle as quickly as possible.

Rent until the spring of 2014 when you should be able to purchase if you are wise with your money and your investments.

The comparison with your old flame is okay and probably good for you to pursue if only to gain closure. Your love life will pick up considerably beginning in the spring of next year so you have time to reconnect with your Scorpio allowing you the time you need to discover what you really want and need when it comes to love and companionship. Consider your Scorpio to be a stepping-stone.

Dear Eugenia
I don’t believe in astrology, at least until I read your column in our daily newspaper. Your column has me baffled.  I have three daughters and theirs and my own astrology is right on market.  Somehow I don’t get it:  the various dates would match to millions and millions of folks.  How could that be? I was born July 10, 1931 I don’t have, nor can I retrieve my time of birth.
Cancer

Dear Cancer
For someone like yourself who was born with your natal Sun, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter and Pluto in the same sign along with the Moon, Mars, Saturn and Neptune in harmony to your Sun sign the caption you read should be spot on. Chances are good that your daughters also have a similar set up in their natal charts as well.

For those individuals who have a splash chart (planets scattered throughout several signs) it is important to read all twelve captions to get a bird’s eye view of what’s to come from a daily horoscope. To find out which sign to apply to the different areas of your life (love, money, health, travel, investment, status, home, family, children etc.) I offer a service called Personalize your Daily Scope at www.eugenialast.com

To make it a little easier for you to figure out if you are going through a Saturn return or when you will be, the first one happens around the tender age of 28/29 I refer to this one as your first wake up call. It’s the time to grow up and begin to mature into the stellar person you want to become.

The second Saturn return happens around the age of 58, I refer to this one as a second chance to find your purpose and follow what’s in your heart. It’s your second wake up call.

The final Saturn return usually happens around the age of 88, I refer to this one, if you are fortunate enough to live that long, as finding peace. It’s your third and final wake up call and usually one that makes you strive to chug along and enjoy the gift of life as long as possible or to say enough is enough, that’s all folks.

The age that your Saturn return hits can vary a little, it’s based on when Saturn has transited through all the constellations and returned to the place it was when you were born. It often takes a couple of years for it to sink in and for you to react. Therefore most of you will probably remember making changes after the fact not necessarily when your Saturn return takes place. However if you are aware that your Saturn return is heading your way you can prepare to face it head on and deal with whatever transpires much faster.

It never surprises me that the Dear Eugenia emails I receive are from people who are heading in to, in the middle of, or moving out of a Saturn return. These are very notable periods in our life and must be savored, nurtured and treated with great respect. They are our milestones, our pivotal points that must not be ignored.

Dear Eugenia,

I have had many troubled relationships, and I am considering marrying my current boyfriend. I am terrified of commitment because of the mistakes I have made. I have been beaten, raped, drugged, degraded etc. I have endured so much pain in my life. I have attempted suicide multiple times. My current boyfriend has not hit or raped me; he has a good heart. He is a lovely Libra/Scorpio born Oct. 20th 1985 at 9pm.

My problem is that my heart continues to long for an Aquarius born Feb. 1st. 1982 5pm. I fell so deeply in love with him but all he wanted was sex. I am willing to wait forever for him. Please tell me what the stars say. I do not want to hurt my Libra. I am so young, confused, desperate and alone. I was born March 24, 1990 at 4:20 PM.

Naive Aries Woman

Dear Naïve Aries Woman

You are very young and should be working on you as a person instead of thinking about getting married. You do match up better to your Libra but not well enough to venture down the aisle. It is obvious that you are confused and impulsive especially when it comes to love sex and relationships.

What you should be doing right now is studying or taking an apprenticeship or working, anything that will give you greater personal stability, confidence and lead to a better future.

As for your Aquarius man don’t waste your time. This was a one-sided relationship in which you were being used and abused. Let it go.

Dear Eugenia

I have applied for a new job.  All indications are favorable – my current manager and the hiring manager have me training in the position already.  But my chart says that my circumstances turn unfavorable in the last half of my life and I am 43 …

My current position is 12-hour shift work, and I have done this for 20 years.  I cannot keep up the pace.  Plus, I am currently paired with a co-worker who does not do his share of the work.   Enduring more months of working with him … I cannot.

Since 2009, the Christmas season has been stressful.  Father attempted to kill my mother in November of 2009 and committed suicide in January of 2010.  My mother found out she had cancer in November of 2010, and the tumor was removed in January of 2011.

Please tell me if work and future Christmas’s will be better. I was born February 6, 1968 at 4:04 PM.

Aquarius

Dear Aquarius

Regarding work you are up for a raise, promotion or better position. Without your co-workers birth date I cannot tell you much about him however you should find it a little easier at work as the year progresses. I believe your recent half-life Saturn is why you think your life will be difficult during the second half however this transit has passed and you should find that your personal and your professional life will begin to stabilize between now and your Saturn return which will hit during your late fifties.

Christmas is stressful for many people however due to transiting Saturn moving through an area of your chart the past few years that dealt with friends, relatives, home and family it’s not surprising that you have experienced ups and down especially during family holidays.

It’s time to look forward, not back. A positive attitude will bring good results.

Dear Eugenia

I feel as if I am living a fairy tale!! I dated a man (Oct. 31 1959) from 1992 till 1997, things did not work well and we went our own ways. Fast-forward to 2011, we found each other again. We both have changed and really like one another now. I truly feel I have found my soul mate and all that has been missing in my life. Am I dreaming? I was born December 11, 1967 at 1:53 AM.

Sagittarius

Dear Sagittarius

Let’s just say you don’t have the best astrological comparison with your Scorpio man. Sorrow is present and eventually the problems you experienced in the past are likely to come back to life.

Yes you have both matured but emotionally and mentally you still don’t jive that well together and physically your life experience has probably made your encounter passionate and somewhat exciting but when the novelty is over it may be difficult to hold this one together. Please don’t move too quickly and do not combine your assets in any way before giving this union enough time to weather any upcoming turbulence.

I wanted to launch it before Mercury turns retrograde on Monday March 12^th. Always best to start something new when Mercury is direct, however you can make adjustments and often see the inner workings of what you are doing through different eyes once the retrograde begins.

So expect a little tweaking to take place between March 12^th and April 4^th when the planet that governs our thought process turns direct.

With transiting Uranus in early Aries along side transiting Mercury moving retrograde we will surely witness plenty of uncertainty as well as people changing their minds for no apparent reason. Expect the Cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn) to be difficult to pin down.

DEAR EUGENIA: I am a Cancer born on July 15, 1980, around 12:35 p.m. I recently ended my 7-year relationship with a Libra, born Oct. 6, 1978. We have a son together but our personalities clash. In 2009, I met a Scorpio, born Nov. 9, 1980, around 10:30 p.m. We connected instantly and have developed an amazing friendship with benefits. He was engaged and got married May 29, 2010, and recently had a baby. Will we end up together?

I feel my lover is my soul mate. My ex and I just sold our house, and I’m looking for a place of my own. Do you see any positive changes for me? – CANCER

DEAR CANCER: What is it you don’t understand about not available? You don’t match up as well astrologically to the man you are helping cheat on his wife and baby as you do to the father of your child. Now that’s not to say the comparison with your ex is doable but please don’t continue down a path that leads to sorrow.

You will be in a high cycle regarding love this fall, until that time focus on your residential move, spending time with your son and thinking about getting ahead professionally and financially.

You match up to the signs Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn and Pisces. Unfortunately the father of your child has too much Libra and Sagittarius in his chart to match up well to you.

DEAR EUGENIA: I am with someone who doesn’t pay his half of the bills. His birth date is Nov. 29, 1961. We are more like brother and sister than girlfriend boyfriend. We have a condo together and we fight all the time, I want out. He only pays when I am screaming at him. I feel he is using me. I am in debt — car, visa and now condo. I need to move on so I can regain control of my finances, tell me what I can do? – LEO

DEAR LEO: Looking at your comparison I’m trying to figure out how the two of you got together in the first place. In order to rectify this unfortunate situation you must move forward quickly as your window of opportunity is between now and the end of the summer.

First you must figure out how much he has contributed so you have a dollar figure in mind. Second seek legal aid to help you follow the proper procedure so he has no recourse once you have divided and separated your assets. I cannot stress enough that timing is very crucial so please do not waste time.

By the fall of this year if you act fast you should be free and clear of this mess you are in and hopefully you will have learnt a very valuable lesson that will keep you from making the same mistake in the future.

** ** **

DEAR EUGENIA: For the past few years I have been feeling like a fish out of water. I don’t know which direction to go. I feel caged at my work and have been looking for other opportunities, but nothing has appeared! I don’t feel I am growing mentally. My relationship with my husband born Oct. 22, 1950, is also strained, but we have invested 34 years and it is hard to pack up and go! I am drained emotionally, mentally and physically. I am trying to stay positive and to believe that there is more to life. Are the doors going to open, or am I to stagnate forever? I was born March 5, 1953, at 5 a.m. — PISCES

DEAR PISCES: The problem is simple you are going through your second Saturn return. The first one happened when you were around 29. This transit makes you face and reevaluate your life and question your choices as well as what direction you are going to take in the future. This process takes approximately two years and when over you either rebuild what you have, move on or settle.

Looking at your astrological comparison with your husband your emotional connection is pretty decent but somewhere along the way you both veered out in your own direction losing sight of one another, which in part has lead to the dilemma you face.

Your husband experienced his second Saturn return a few years back however without his birth time I cannot be sure how it influenced him. He is now facing depression and uncertainty because he either settled or he is aware of what you are currently experiencing. Your Saturn return will continue until the fall and the outcome will have an impact on your husband by the end of the year.

My suggestion is that you do not make a move or change anything before next year. You need to digest all the feelings you are having and wager the pros and cons before you move forward. I hope that your marriage hasn’t reached a point of no return as your relationship with your husband is worth rekindling.

Professional opportunities will come your way beginning this summer however I wouldn’t rule out starting a small home based business while maintaining your current position until you decide to retire from your current job.
