Separating Aspects: The Astrology of Breakups, Divorce, and Other Partings
Although the end of a romantic relationship, a friendship, or a business partnership can be painful, it isn’t always traumatic and usually holds potential for growth. You’ll learn about a variety of relationship patterns, how to spot the four major astrological signatures of breakups, and what promises they each hold for the future. We’ll emphasize client choice, and the skills needed to talk to people at these vulnerable points in the relationships.

Quincunx – The Underdog of Aspects
They’re not squares, they’re not oppositions, and they’re definitely not subtle. Quincunxes are the itch you can’t scratch – persistent, puzzling, and profoundly revealing.
In this lecture, we’ll explore the potent energy of quincunxes (a.k.a. inconjuncts) – aspects often misunderstood, overlooked, or underestimated. We’ll discuss their role in natal charts, the tension they create, and the peculiar way they demand constant adjustment.
What you’ll get:
A fresh perspective on the 150 degree aspect and its psychological,
energetic, and practical implications
Tools for interpreting quincunxes in natal charts and transits
Case studies that reveal how these aspects show up in real life
A framework for working with this tension in client sessions
Quincunxes reflect the inconsistencies we live with every day – between body and mind, duty and desire, confidence and doubt. Understanding them gives us better language for those hard-to-define inner conflicts.
Join us as we discuss one of astrology’s most persistent puzzles – bring your charts, your curiosity, and your willingness to explore the most awkward of the astrological aspects.
