The Woman He'll Take As A Mistress, Based On His Zodiac Sign

It feels terrible to be cheated on, but learning that your husband/spouse has been having an ongoing affair is even worse.

When a man has a mistress, it's more than an indiscretion — it's a continued relationship and the man has to make choices. Whether they're financial or emotional, somebody is going to get hurt.

Most women don't set out to become mistresses, they just find themselves in that position one day.

You have to decide if your relationship can be repaired or if the affair destroyed it forever.

Many men with mistresses do everything in their power to keep their affair and mistress a secret, and it can be hard to discover the truth.

You might wonder if there's a certain type of woman your husband might be tempted by, and that's where astrology can help.

The stars know what kind of woman your man is looking for as a mistress and can help you answer: is my married man in love with another woman?

This is the type he'd be likely to have an ongoing affair with, according to his zodiac sign.

1. Aries (March 21 - April 19)

The kind of woman an Aries would take as a mistress is someone who is successful in her own right.

She doesn't need anyone and is very independent. She's very sexually adventurous and the Aries man will feel that she keeps him on his toes.

2. Taurus (April 20 - May 20)

A Taurus man would never cheat unless he had completely fallen in love. If he takes a mistress, he's probably planning on marrying her at some point.

The type of mistress for a Taurus is someone who loves luxury and is very sensual. She's one of those women who enter a room just oozing of sensuality and sexuality.

She doesn't have a lot of female friends and will be very devoted and a bit subservient to her man.

3. Gemini (May 21 - June 20)

Unfortunately, Geminis don't have a good reputation when it comes to cheating — they're good at it. They like having a lot of different partners and mental stimulation.

The kind of woman a Gemini will take for a mistress is very smart, brilliant even.

She's an amazing public speaker and possibly a doctor or college professor. He likes being with her because not only can she keep up with him, but she surpasses him in intelligence.

4. Cancer (June 21 - July 22)

The Cancer's mistress is also his therapist, mommy, and caregiver.

When they're together he spends half the time complaining, whining and being an emotional wreck. The Cancer man treats his mistress like he treats his wife and, in a way, that's the greatest betrayal of all.

5. Leo (July 23 - August 22)

The type of woman that a Leo would take as a mistress is a woman in power who can help his career.

He feels like she really gets him as she is constantly complimenting him. His mistress is very good at sex and always surprises him in bed, and then says how amazing he was by putting the focus back on him.

6. Virgo (August 23 - September 22

This may be a positive or a negative depending on how you look at it, but if your Virgo man is having an affair, you probably won't know it — but they're that mysterious and discreet.

The type of woman a Virgo will take as a mistress will appear to be perfect, as Virgos tend to be perfectionists. She'll look great, be smart, and will make the Virgo man feel wanted and admired.

7. Libra (September 23 - October 22)

Libras are great at keeping things compartmentalized so that both women in his life feel loved and nobody gets hurt.

The type of woman a Libra takes as a mistress will be polyamorous and very charming.

She's into spirituality and new age kind of stuff. The Libra man may lie to his mistress to make her believe that he has an open marriage.

8. Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)

Scorpios aren't big cheaters and they don't like to lie, so if they have a mistress it's because of some compelling reason, such as a wild sexual kink.

The Scorpio mistress may be a dominatrix or some other kind of sex worker. She's not afraid of his sexual appetites and she doesn't hesitate to try and satisfy him.

9. Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)

It's not easy to get a Sagittarius to commit, but when they do they're usually faithful. However, if they're feeling like their relationship is getting stale, they may feel justified to have an affair.

It wouldn't be out of the ordinary for a Sagittarius to have a number of women in different cities all around the globe, especially if his job requires travel.

10. Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)

Capricorns are honorable so they'd sooner leave a relationship than cheat. However, if they were to take a mistress, she'd be completely the opposite of his wife.

When Capricorns stray, they pick highly inappropriate women. She'd be irresponsible, flashy, promiscuous — someone that, in Capricorn's mind, needed saving.

11. Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)

Aquarius is only going to cheat if they think their partner is cheating on them. The type of woman they'd take as a mistress would be very smart, unusual, and creative. This woman will keep the Aquarius man guessing about almost everything, especially about her feelings. She'll be very unemotional and calm.

12. Pisces (February 19 - March 20)

Pisces men love to have secret love affairs, so it's not unlikely that they'd have a mistress.

The kind of woman that Pisces would take as a mistress would be very confident and self-centered, so the Pisces man could devote much of his time to pleasing her.
