My folks divorced when I was 7, and throughout the time they were dating and throughout their marriage my dad was a serial cheater who had seemingly endless affairs with other women. What's very interesting about this is because when I look at his chart (time of birth unknown, birthday is May 2nd, 1965, birthplace is Chongqing, China), he has the vast majority of his planets in reliable earth signs such as Taurus and Virgo. Earth is often described as the most stable element.
My dad had a very late start with relationships, he had his first real girlfriend when he was 24 ( at least that's what he told me). However, he's always had this voracious appetite for women and regularly slept around both before and after marrying.
Some other things I've noticed about his chart are that he has both Mercury and Jupiter without any aspects to other planets. From what I understand, unaspected planets can either take on their purest and most positive qualities, or the opposite.
His unaspected Mercury gave him seemingly unmatched intellect. He grew up in semi-poverty but went to university at the surprisingly young age of 15, graduating as a Chemistry major. He later went abroad in the late 1980s (in those days it was highly unusual for Chinese students to study abroad) where he got an MBA, and later a Doctorate and then a PhD. Some of his papers were so well-written that they became "models" for other students. However, it's also clear that his Mercurial energy made him quite high-strung at times. His mind was often restless and boastful of his intelligence.
His unaspected Jupiter has most certainly been used in negative ways. When he was younger he really wanted to do business. He made lots of investments without any thought into them, and he was overly generous towards friends who only wanted to take advantage of him. He was quite an indulgent man (I guess Jupiter also played a role in his behavior), and he really liked to boast about himself and what he was going to do. He was really concerned with making himself look good in front of others, but in a very boastful way rather than actually doing something to help / serve.
I see that he has Sun Opposition Neptune, and from what my mom told me he really had some serious delusions about his self-worth. He aspired to things he was simply incapable of achieving, but he loved to dream and talk about his dreams. He was never the kind of man who had his feet on the ground and satisfied with a simple life, though he keeps convincing himself he is a down-to-earth (funny how I'm using this expression because his chart is earth dominant) guy.
I do admit he was a hard worker, even a try-hard (Sun-Saturn), but at the same time he had serious personality flaws that eventually led to divorce and my strained (now non-existent) relationship with him. He married when he was 31 (too late of an age for me). My mom comes from a slightly wealthier, urban background while my dad comes from a rural background, and my dad did marry with the intention of my mom helping him out with money so he could start a business. My mom eventually gave in, but he got repeatedly scammed by his so-called friends and achieved nothing in the end, while still wishing he could become someone he was not.
I realize I've gotten off-topic a bit, so now I'll post his chart and would you guys please give me insights into why an earth-dominant chart is associated with serial cheating.
