Separating Aspects: The Astrology of Break-Ups, Divorce, and Other Partings

by Armand M. Diaz

Breaking up is hard to do... But it isn't always traumatic, and very frequently leads to better lives, loves, and relationships. In fact, we can find meaning and deep inspiration for personal growth in this difficult process. In Separating Aspects, Armand Diaz guides us through the astrology of break-ups, divorce, and other partings from an astrological perspective. The key to understanding break-ups is in the styles of change associated with the four outer planets, but this book goes further. Describing astrological signatures for relationship styles and the importance of all of the planets and points in the chart, Separating Aspects makes a great reference for both practicing astrologers and students of astrology who want to go deeper in their understanding of relationship dynamics.

A fascinating read. Diaz gives us an astrological perspective on the triggers behind attraction and separation. The book is a guide to understanding the different influences the planets have on our break-up styles. Extremely helpful in understanding the way we as individuals approach relationships. Written in an informative, yet conversational tone, this is truly an enlightening book!

I'm an astrologer who specializes in love and relationships, particularly karmic partnerships and Divine Counterparts (or you can call them Twin Flames but I don't like that term). I read this book half-way through when it came out in 2014 and then lost it. I found it again recently and it has been on my "To Read" list for several months. It's an easy read, not too complicated, and it's been instrumental in the few readings I have done since the holidays ended.

I bought this book tonight (5/6/14) from Armand Diaz at a lecture he gave on the subject of his book. With his Leo Sun, Cancer Moon and Scorpio Ascending, Armand is a very entertaining speaker. I really enjoyed his lecture and am greatly intrigued by the notion of different planets representing romantic break-ups. He focused on the following planets:

Uranus break-up being “Here and your gone” very quick, has a certain coldness and the lesson being you don’t have to be locked into the same type of relationship next time.

Plutonion break-up being: Struggles, Nasty, lasts awhile. Filled with anger and fear. Lesson is we learn what is really important to us in relationships.

Neptune break-up helps us remove our guiding myth about relationships. Effects can be sorrow and pining for the lost oneness.

Saturn break-up: “It’s over” Does not feel bad, more legal and technical. Lesson is that relationships are not the be all and end all.

Key is to check the break up energy/planet/transit to the composite or natal charts to better understand the break-up energy for each partner.

I am looking forward to reading his book shortly!
