ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "My wife has been unfaithful, and I don’t know if I can get over it. I have never been unfaithful to her. It breaks my heart, and I don’t know if I can stay married to her, though we’ve been together for nearly 20 years. She’s a Capricorn, and I’m a Taurus. Why am I feeling this way? What can I do to help our situation?"
You care enough to tackle this difficult time, and your love will be rewarded with rich emotions, though it’s hard to see that now, when you are experiencing so much pain. Your wife’s Capricorn sun is right on your moon, the ruler of emotions. She is very important to you. Your wife’s Aquarian moon indicates that she has felt very keenly the depth of this rift between you. Through the years, she may have felt restricted and controlled by her role in the marriage. Has she had a voice in setting long-term goals and short-term decision-making in the family? Forgiveness will be easy when you better understand that she is truly torn between her own need for independence and her love for you her indiscretion was a cry for help! You have heard the cry, and can take it as an opportunity to enlist the aid of a counselor and work toward healing this wound. Don’t give up! I wish you and your wife luck.
