Are You Feeling Like Cheating? Or Want To Know If Your Partner Is? Here's How To Find Out...

  

So, you’re feeling attracted toward someone else? Maybe it’s that colleague who makes you laugh, or a stranger who caught your eye and sparked something inside you. 

I’m not here to judge – after all, we’re only human. 

But let’s talk about why these temptations come up. Is it just a passing attraction, or is there something deeper at play, as if the stars themselves are pushing you toward an affair? 

Let’s dive into the astrology behind cheating and affairs to see if your planets are in the mood for some mischief...

The Astrology of Cheating Temptations

When we look at a birth chart to understand the tendencies around extramarital affairs, certain planets, houses, and transits become key players. 

1. The 7th House and the 5th House: Marriage vs. Romance

The 7th house rules your marriage, while the 5th house deals with romance, pleasure, and yes – those flirtations that turn into full-blown affairs. 

If you see activity between these two houses, such as a malefic planet (Saturn, Mars or Rahu, Ketu) affecting them, it’s often a sign of temptation creeping in.

2. Venus – The Planet of Love and Lust

Venus is the planet that rules love, relationships, and desire. If Venus is combust, afflicted, or in a tricky position in your chart (especially during transits), you might start feeling the pull to stray. 

Especially when Venus gets too close to Mars (the planet of action and aggression), it can be hard to resist the urge to dive into something risky, spicy and intense.

3. Rahu and Ketu – The Cosmic Tricksters

When Rahu transits these 2 houses or makes significant aspects with Venus or Mars, it can amplify desires, making you crave what’s forbidden. 

Ketu, on the other hand, detaches you from what you already have, making your current relationship feel unsatisfying. Rahu tempts, and Ketu disconnects – a dangerous game you might say.

4. Dasha Periods And Planetary Transits – Timing is Everything

Your current Mahadasha and Antardasha dasha (planetary periods) act as the ultimate triggers. If you’re in a Venus or Rahu dasha, with transits activating the 5th or 7th house, your chances of succumbing to temptation increase dramatically. The right dasha can put you right in the path of someone who makes you rethink your loyalty.

Why You’re Feeling Tempted To Cheat?

Astrologically speaking, temptations arise when there’s a clash between your desires (Venus), your impulses (Mars), and your sense of morality (Jupiter). 

If Jupiter (the planet of wisdom and righteousness) is weak in your chart, you might not have the willpower to resist when things start heating up.

Read the above statement again. It's extremely important.

In simpler terms: the stars could be making it way too easy for you to justify sneaking around.

Now, temptation doesn’t always mean you’re going to act on it, but you sure start fantasizing more, flirting a little extra, or even crossing lines emotionally before it ever gets physical.

What Makes You Cross The Line and Cheat?

That’s usually when Mars gets involved. 

Mars is the planet of action, and when it makes a strong connection with Venus, or sits in your 7th or 5th house, your ability to hold back crumbles. Mars in combination with a Rahu transit can be explosive – it’s that moment where you stop thinking and just do.

You may rationalize it, saying things like, "It’s just one time" or "No one will ever find out." But if Mars is strongly influencing your chart, you’re already in too deep.

What Makes You Get Caught?

Some affairs never stay secret. 

A badly placed Mercury or weak 3rd house in your chart can cause slip-ups, texts left open, emails not deleted – you name it. When Mercury is afflicted during an affair, expect some messy miscommunication or straight-up carelessness that blows your cover.

Jupiter can also play a role here. If Jupiter, the planet of morality, is strong, you may feel guilty enough to confess, or circumstances may arise that reveal the truth, especially during a Jupiter transit or dasha.

What Makes Affairs Last for Years Without Getting Caught?

Cheating Temptations As Per 12 Moon Signs 

When it comes to cheating temptations, each of the 12 moon signs has its own unique tendencies, reactions, and behaviours. 

Let’s explore how each moon sign might navigate (or get caught in) an affair, as well as cues to look for in their behaviour when temptation arises.

1. Aries Moon: The Impulsive Temptation

Aries moon individuals are driven by impulse and passion. If temptation strikes, they might jump headfirst without thinking twice. They thrive on excitement and risk, and this can push them toward hasty decisions, including cheating.

• Cues to Look For: Sudden changes in behaviour or restlessness. They may seem more charged with energy or eager for new thrills.

2. Taurus Moon: The Sensual Slow Burner

Taurus moons crave stability, but they’re also deeply sensual. While they value their commitments, they can be tempted if they feel underappreciated or if the affair offers a luxurious escape. However, they’re less likely to take reckless risks, often waiting until they’re sure.

• Cues to Look For: A sudden preoccupation with their appearance, indulgence in pleasures (like food or luxury items), or unusually distant behaviour at home.

3. Gemini Moon : The Flirtatious Conversationalist

Gemini moons are mentally driven. Their affairs may start with harmless flirting or intellectual connection. They need constant mental stimulation, and boredom in a relationship can easily push them toward seeking excitement elsewhere.

• Cues to Look For: Increased texting, secretive conversations, or a sudden interest in new topics. If they’re constantly on their phone or seem distracted, it could be a sign.

4. Cancer Moon : The Emotional Affair

Cancer moons are deeply emotional and nurturing, and they’re most likely to stray when they feel emotionally neglected. Affairs for them tend to be emotional more than physical. If they find someone who understands and nurtures them, they may fall into an affair for comfort.

• Cues to Look For: Emotional withdrawal from their partner, sudden moodiness, or unexplained attachment to someone they describe as "just a friend."

5. Leo Moon : The Attention-Seeker

Leo moons need admiration and constant affection. If their partner stops making them feel special, they might look elsewhere for validation. When they cheat, it’s often because someone else is making them feel like royalty.

• Cues to Look For: A craving for compliments, extra attention to their appearance, or talking excessively about someone who’s been showering them with praise.

6. Virgo Moon: The Analytical Affair

Virgo moons are practical and logical, but they can also be perfectionists. They won’t dive into an affair without analyzing every detail first. They’re more likely to be tempted if they feel their current relationship isn’t meeting their standards or if they feel unappreciated for their efforts.

• Cues to Look For: Criticism of their partner increases, or they may become more distant as they overanalyse the relationship. If they start working late a lot, it could be a red flag.

7. Libra Moon : The Romantic Temptation

Libra moons are ruled by Venus, making them romantic at heart. They’re always seeking balance and beauty in their relationships, but they can be easily tempted if they feel their partner isn’t treating them with the fairness and harmony they desire. Affairs for Libras often feel "justified" if they believe they’re not being loved properly.

• Cue to Look For: A noticeable need for affection and validation, or if they start talking about "what’s fair" in relationships. They might also begin flirting more openly.

8. Scorpio Moon : The Intense and Secretive Affair

Scorpio moons are known for their depth and intensity. If they stray, it’s usually a deeply emotional and passionate affair, often hidden well due to their secretive nature. They can be possessive, and their desire for control may lead them into forbidden territory.

• Cue to Look For: Extreme secrecy, intense mood swings, or a sudden fascination with someone they keep mentioning in passing but not sharing details about.

9. Sagittarius Moon : The Adventurous Cheater

Sagittarius moons are free-spirited and crave adventure. Commitment can sometimes feel like a cage, and they’re most likely to be tempted if they feel trapped or bored in their relationship. Affairs with a Sag moon are often spontaneous and driven by a desire for fun and freedom.

• Cue to Look For: Sudden solo trips or unexplained absences, talking about new experiences or people they’ve recently met, or acting unusually carefree.

10. Capricorn Moon : The Calculated Affair

Capricorn moons are disciplined and responsible, but that doesn’t mean they’re immune to temptations. If they cheat, it’s often after carefully weighing the pros and cons. They’ll likely have a practical reason behind it, like seeking validation for their hard work or feeling emotionally disconnected from their partner.

• Cue to Look For: Cold, distant behaviour or an increased focus on work. If they start spending more time with a colleague or becoming extra secretive about their career, it could be a sign.

11. Aquarius Moon: The Detached Flirt

Aquarius moons are known for their intellectual, innovative and detached nature. They may be tempted into an affair out of curiosity or a desire to rebel against the norms of their relationship. Their affairs may not be deeply emotional but more experimental or mentally stimulating.

• Cue to Look For: Distant behaviour or a sudden interest in new social groups. If they start pushing boundaries in your relationship or "experimenting with new ideas", they may be seeking something outside.

12. Pisces Moon: The Fantasy Affair

Pisces moons are dreamers and tend to live in their own world. If they cheat, it’s often because they’ve built up a fantasy in their mind about how much better life could be with someone else. Their affairs are emotional, often filled with illusion and escapism.

• Cue to Look For: They may seem increasingly distant or daydreamy, talking about how their life could be different. If they’re listening to more romantic music or watching love stories obsessively, they might be creating a fantasy around someone else.

As you can see, each moon sign has its own distinct way of handling temptations, relationships and affairs. While some signs dive right into an affair, others may hesitate, analyze, or just fantasize about it first.

So keep an eye on the cues – sometimes, it’s the little changes in behaviour that reveal a lot.

Special Note: These cues are for spotting the "temptations for cheating".  NOT to spot the CHEATING.  And these are casual cues are based on common characteristics of each moon signs.
