Hello River! I went through similar situation, only husband did not drink but had a bit on the side and my father also died about 5 month after I found all this out.I lost 12 Kilo's in 3 month, could not eat either. In my case I had Pluto conjunct my Ascendant opposing the 7th house cusp and of course other transits adding to this breakup. I left him.
From looking at your comparison chart, it is inevitable that you would get problems in your marriage sooner or later. Most difficult aspects, your Venus squaring his (showing a totally different way of giving and receiving love) and the incompatible Moons. Yours is in your 6th, very strong in own sign. You need to work or give service of some kind in order to feel good. It is an important factor in how happy and "at home" you feel.
His Moon is in Gemini, not really at home in this sign (water planet in Air sign) so he could have trouble expressing his emotions, also seen by his Saturn in his 5th conjunct the Midpoint of your Jupiter and Mars and his NorthNode also there and conjunct your Saturn.
Then communication problems can be expected with his Mercury in Sagittarius and yours in Capricorn (Fire and Earth).
He could be a workoholic and with his Neptune conjunct the ruler of his Ascendant I am not surprised that he can get confused as well as trying to escape his problems by drinking.
He has all his planets except his Moon below the horizon, showing a strong need for privacy and you have all your planets above the horizon except your Moon, showing a greater participation in the outside world. However, you also need your privacy with Sun in 12 and Moon in Cancer. Here we find a balance. Also the Suns and Ascendants are compatible and the ruler of your Ascendant conjuncts his Sun and the ruler of his Ascendant conjuncts your Ascendant Co-ruler Neptune, which is a strong connection.
So, we find plusses and minusses, but what worries me most is his Saturn falling in your 7th and conjuncting the intercepted Mars/Jupiter conjunction.
Intercepted signs can show great frustration in the house where they are found. Saturn is also intercepted. It is hard enough to express these qualities in your marriage WITHÒUT his Saturn trying to limit your initiatives.
All in all, problems could therefore be present in this marriage and have to be worked out when they do.
In 2005 you have a Solar Return with Aries on the Ascendant. The Progressed chart coincidentally also has Aries on the Ascendant. Aries shows a lot of activity for that year. The progressed chart shows a lot of planets in the 6th house of health, one of them Mars in Virgo, ruler of the progressed Ascendant in opposition to Venus in the 12th, ruler of the 7th. This to my mind shows the problems with your husband and how it affected your digestive system (Virgo). Your Moon formed a Grand-square with Mars,Venus and Neptune, co-ruler of your intercepted 12th house sign Pisces.
Mars was at his exact natal place (14°) and opposed Venus (also 14°!) who was now transiting Pisces. Venus forms an inconjunct in your natal chart with both the Moon and Mars, so this connection was now "revived" through that opposition to Mars and the square to the Moon for this year. The dormant aspect (inconjunct) was activated through this T-square and the opposition from Moon to Neptune showed how your feelings were totally fogged up during this time. You could not think anymore (Moon in 3rd house!!).
Chiron in the first house and in the sign of Venus could also be a sign of pain in the love department, but this is an additional thing I never go too deep into.
In the Solar Return chart the North Node (to do with relationships) was squaring Chiron and Saturn, forming a T-square .Pluto in the 7th of the Progressed chart and in the partnership sign Libra as well, shows the total re-novation of your marriage if you like and upset you had to go through.

You must ALWAYS look at existing aspects in the natal,and see if the same planets form an aspect in the Progressed chart (or vice versa), and also with Solar Return planets,otherwise aspects formed are not noticed at all.
So this was a big indication of trouble. Moon and Mars in the natal chart, form a sextile, so the square in the Progressed would be less extreme in it's expression.
So I suppose you did work out your differences and because you were not focussed on getting pregnant anymore (were you?) you became then pregnant ?
Moon, ruler of your 5th in the Progressed chart trined Pluto, ruler of the 8th about that time, 4 month later. But in the Solar Return chart Saturn is found in your 5th house and with only difficult aspects, so I still dont quite understand what you meant with:
I then became pregnant after 4 years of trying and nothing[/QUOTE
What does the "nothing" mean. Did things go wrong? This is not very clear.
Progressed Moon was in your 4th house of family when it formed the T-square above mentioned and would have conjuncted your 5th house of children about 10 month after your birthday, inconjuncting Uranus, ruler of your Ascendant.
Must go now. Hope you could follow it all! and maybe foresee future upsets (hope not!) Starlink
