DEAR EUGENIA by Eugenia Last
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 of our sisters 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 decline the invitation.In my opinion, my ex (born Dec. 27, 1937) is a parasite. My adult children have also become estranged because I am not willing to be manipulated by their father.
How I can get my life back on track? I was born Feb. 1, 1941. -- FED UP
DEAR FED UP: 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, 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 uncompromising bad guy.
You may not like your ex, but he did make an impact on your family that you cannot deny. 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 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? I was born Aug. 15, 1955, at 3:51 p.m. -- 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 of getting your business off the ground. The research you do should help you cut corners regarding cost, as well as open your eyes 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 and bring you additional skills to 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 two men. Both live at a distance. The first gentleman is a Gemini born June 1, 1980, and we have a great intellectual connection, but he is a workaholic. The other is a Libra born Sept. 28, 1984. He and I have a great physical attraction, and he seems to really like me. My other option is to play the field and continue looking for someone else. I was born Jan. 31, 1977, at 3:31 a.m. -- AQUARIUS
DEAR AQUARIUS: You match up a little better with your Gemini partner; however, both astrological comparisons show signs of sorrow and emotional deception. This could be more on your part because you are seeing both of them. Regardless, it doesn't bode well for a long-term union. It is apparent you will second-guess your decision even after you make it.
Your Gemini thinks and loves like a Cancer, and he 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. He can be quite emotionally possessive, devoted and intense in his relationships.
You think like a Capricorn, love like a Pisces and 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."
