Say it ain’t so, Joe.
Power couple Sofía Vergara and Joe Manganiello have separated and are divorcing after seven years together.
The offensively beautiful pair wed in a lavish Palm Beach ceremony in November 2015 in front of 400 guests, a riot of white flowers and a surprise performance by Pitbull.
What Mr. Worldwide hath put together let no man put asunder — or so we hoped.
The ever watchful eyebrows of the web were raised earlier this summer when the pair listed their Beverly Hills mansion and all but disappeared from each other’s social media feeds and private celebrations.
The nail within the coffin of their union could have are available in the shape of Manganiello chilly birthday message to Vergara and her cryptic reference to the optimistic practice of lemon squeezing.
Vergara rang in her 51st trip across the sun in Italy, looking hot as hellfire and surrounded by a set of close friends that notably didn’t include her husband.
Just a number of days later, the pair told Page Six in a joint statement: “We have now made the difficult decision to divorce. As two those who love and look after each other very much, we politely ask for respect of our privacy at the moment as we navigate this recent phase of our lives.”
Recent reports suggest that Manganiello’s sobriety journey played a component of their parting. The “True Blood,” stud has been sober for the reason that early aughts while Vergara is thought to let the nice times roll and the liquor flow.
The couple has yet to disclose a cause or lay blame for his or her separation leading us to show to the mirror of astrology to discern what elements drew these two beauties together and what could have turned them towards divergent paths. Read on to learn more.
Opposites attract
When it comes to zodiac compatibility, Vergara and Manganiello are a case of cardinal opposites attracting; getting along and getting it on like a house on fire.
Born December 28, 1976 Joe Manganiello is a cardinal daddy together with his sun in sea goat Capricorn and moon in the hearth forged sign of Aries. Born July 10, 1972, Sofía Vergara is a double Cancer with each her sun and moon falling within the lunar waters of the crab.
Manganiello’ sun in Capricorn sits opposite Vergara’s sun in Cancer on the zodiac wheel, a strong force for instantaneous and intense magnetic attraction. While there may be polarity at play on this pairing, it’s less about being wildly different and more about being wildly complimentary, filling within the spaces of the opposite in case you will.
Cardinal connection
When it comes to archetypes, Cancer is the good cosmic, care as control, moon synced mother and Capricorn is the structured, stoic, take your time and do it right, wear the pants and take out the trash daddy of the zodiac.
When their powers mix you get a real yin/yang, give/take, construct/nourish dynamic. Not for nothing folks, Capricorn rules the bones and Cancer the breasts; together providing form and food, structure and sustenance.
Each of those cardinal signs are concerned with security and investment but their approaches are markedly different. For Capricorn the investment is time and for Cancer it’s emotion but in each cases, trust, foundational strength and a willingness to sacrifice the needs of the self for the good thing about the entire are top priorities.
Apropos of this, the pair got here to terms on a prenup weeks before their wedding, ensuring their divorce might be as respectful and equitable as their union.
As, Manganiello told “People,” magazine in 2020: “I knew pretty quickly that I could trust her, and he or she knew pretty quickly that she could trust me. And we’re each the type of people who find themselves able to putting the opposite person ahead of ourselves.
I used to be able to putting her wishes ahead of mine, whatever they were, and he or she was able to doing the identical. Once you’ve that, you don’t let go of it.”
The mixture of Manganiello’s initiating, up front sun and impatient infernal moon equates to a dude that is obvious about his value and unapologetic about his wants. We see this in our man’s pursuit of Vergara which began mere moments after he learned she had split from her ex-fiancee Nick Loeb.
After getting Vergara’s number from her “Modern Family” co-star Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Manganiello flew to Latest Orleans to take Vergara on their first date, carrying a duplicate of People’s 2014 Hottest Hollywood Bachelor issue (which ordained him primary); inside five months they were cohabitating and inside six they were engaged. Cardinal signs, quick on the draw and able to commit folks.
Lion queen
Vergara has Mercury, planet of communication and Mars, planet of drive and desire within the fixed fires of Leo. Apropos of Vergara’s Leo Mars ‘worship me’ energy, she has taken the breakup in stride and gone full blown goddess mode on her IG, posting topless sunbathing photos from her Italian vacation.
Manganiello Saturn, planet of restriction and scarcity, is in strong conjunction with Vergara’s Mercury, suggesting that while he lends stability his reservations about communication and hesitation to go daring in relation to gestures may hurt the ‘give me passion or give me death’ modality of Vergara. This aspect also explains the aforementioned bloodless birthday greeting.

Facets giveth and taketh away
The sensation of fate driving the crazy train of affection and karma calling forth from the loins is emphasized by the square aspect betwixt Vergara’s moon in Cancer and Manganiello’s Pluto, planet of sex, death and transformation in Libra. Soul baring, secret sharing, edging and healing abound with this sort of chemistry though there may be the sense that disparate lifestyles, backgrounds and pain points may prove too great to face the test of time.
The aim of this attraction is to rework with and thru the opposite but there’s no guarantees the selves that wait on the opposite side of that saga might be meant to last.In the same vein, Vergara’s moon in Cancer forms a powerful trine with Manganiello’s Uranus in Scorpio. The moon is the emotional underbelly and Uranus is the planet of lightning and sudden change.
This aspect is indicative of an otherworldly connection/gravitational sexual attraction; fast, furious and fated my babies. With Uranus in the combo, the unexpected and the upending is par for the course and it’s all but guaranteed that these two were gifted sudden revelation and deep healing by their time together. It could not have been built for without end however it served the upper purpose and future selves of each of them, the best thing we will offer each other in partnership.
It is necessary to notice that divorce is just not failure but acknowledgement of the necessity to grow up and away from a formerly fortifying root system. With this in mind, we wish each Vergara and Manganiello the complete sprawl and fresh air of recent branches.
