Your charts show that you are both prone to multiple romantic encounters, and may very well be mutually enamored with the idea of having a mysterious, exciting fantasy for its own sake. At this point in your marriages, you may both be vulnerable to these innate tendencies. You have strong ties to each other, and he has some confusion in his home environment that may be driving him to seek a "pure" romance in a relationship, only to aid his shaky identity. Your Mars positions are opposed, which can be very sexy, but which may also be difficult over a long-term relationship. This man has a strong power over you. You are extremely attractive to him, but your importance in his life depends more on timing and other elements than your feelings for him. Be careful; your solid home life means a lot to you, and if you look deep inside yourself, you’ll likely see this affair is not worth it.
