My understandings: applying means that the aspect grows stronger with time, or will at least remain prominent throughout the native's life. As best as I can understand, it is because applying aspects are nearing exactness in progression.
Separating aspects are the opposite - their influence lessens with age as the planets grow further apart.
What I don't get it is this: as far as applying aspects, once the planets have become exact, wouldn't their influence also begin to decrease as they move away from each other?
