I just got CosmiTec's Love letter, which I found pretty interesting.
Here we go;
KILLER ASPECTS IN SYNASTRY
In his groundbreaking astrological research about separations and divorces, Harald Hoffmann, a retired engineer and astrologer, found some inter-aspects between two people to be the culprit of the separation/divorce.
His statistical research is based on the birth information of 6,143 couples and 53,635 Swiss couples of which 48,262 couples were divorced.
He wrote his own statistical software program because no existing software had the features he wanted.
In his statistical research he uses the Chi-square and Fishertest and made a difference between the gender of the persons involved.
According to his findings, some aspects in synastry (in the chart comparison between two people) were found statistically often between separated/divorced people (in comparison with a control group).
On our web site, we listed the 20 most important inter-aspects which Harald Hoffmann named 'killer aspects.'
His findings confirm what ancient astrologers stated long ago and what we have found also: in astrological research there is a difference to be made between male and female charts!
Because insufficient research is done among gay/lesbian couples, it's unknown how to apply the research results in homosexual relationships.
What's even more, in our opinion we might have to go a step further because ancient astrologers also made a distinction between day and night births.
It's very likely, we will have to make this distinction too (female night births, female day births, male night births and male day births), making astrological research yet more time-consuming (but possibly -- and even likely -- more rewarding!).
Unfortunately, no astrological software program with extensive research capabilities is able to make this distinction so that we should not expect any research results soon making such distinctions...
Anyway, Harald Hoffmann's investigations show some interesting results that he cannot fully explain himself but for which he tried to find an explanation nonetheless.
The Venus-Mars inter-aspects in the chart comparison are said to be very sexual -- which is confirmed over and again.
However, sex is not 'love.'
Likewise, attraction is not 'love.'
Following his findings, the male Venus semi-square the female Mars (orb 2°) is a very significant inter-aspect that may bring divorce/separation.
Beware though: you can't judge the cover of the puzzle by just taking one single piece in isolation so that a couple needs different 'killer aspects' to separate/divorce.
The mentioned exact Venus-Mars aspect is a very sexual one, denoting the couple is blinded by sex.
Differences in behavior, belief system, emotional needs, etc. are thus covered behind the mask of sex.
Ultimately, this cannot last because physical urges are cyclic and cannot be forced.
When the sexual urges diminish, the emotional and other differences come to the foreground, resulting in clashes and separation/divorce.
Another 'killer aspect' is male Mars conjunct female MC (orb 6°).
In this case, the male is too critical, too assertive (aggressive) towards the female projects (and career interests) resulting in disputes and quarrels.
Mars inter-aspects can be forceful, brutal and lacking consideration.
The listed Saturn inter-aspects suggest a heavy atmosphere, no joy, too much obligations and duties, too much responsibilities so that one of the partners feels limited, repressed and cannot unfold.
This may result in the separation.
The male Ascendant conjunct female North Node of the Moon (orb 5°) may denote that there are too much contacts, meetings and encounters outside of the union resulting in jealousy (for example which may trigger a separation).
The Ascendant-North Node inter-aspects often make for a popular and sociable combination, attracting other people into the world of the couple.
However, socializing often results in attractions that trigger jealousy and/or so-called 'inappropriate feelings.'
The listed Pluto inter-aspects almost always are related to unhealthy (and intense) power struggles.
Often, one of the partners will never give in and clings to the own convictions (rather for ill).
All in all, his findings are very interesting indeed but one can wonder if the data set he used is large enough to build a theory on.
Also, in his research results, he has listed some natal aspects in male and female charts that on the one hand enhance long-term unions and on the other side prohibit a lasting union.
Our practice has shown that some natal aspects he lists as 'relationship enhancing' are rather blocking a lasting union.
Perhaps his data set is not large enough or it's a coincidence our findings differ.
Food for thought anyway!
