Declinations are the latitude coordinates involving the celestial equator.

Parallel is when points are on the same side of the celestial equator and they are in orb.
Parallels are like conjunctions

Contraparallel is when points are on opposite of each other they are in orb
Contraparallals are like oppositions

I always look at declinations. This was before I even knew about Magi Astrology.

the zodiac sign placements are actually the longitude coordinations involving the ecliptic.

I find that parallels and contraparalls are way underrated and overlooked in Astrology.

Declination midpoints are useful too. They have been used in Cosmobiology and Uranian Astrology

There are no cookbook interps on parallels,contraparallels.

All you have to do is check out interps on conjunctions,oppositions

For me they are like hiddn fusion of energies that are not obvious part of persoality but play big part in a person's motivations. (If that makes any sense )

Also you should check the declination longitude equivalent chart to see if they are actually in conjunction and opposition.

I have Mercury,Venus,and Neptune parallel each other and Saturn contraparallels them.

In my declination longitude equivalent chart, I have Mercury,Venus,and Neptune conjunct each other and Saturn opposes them.

I feel that the declinations should be looked at. They sky isn't one dimensional,and so I don't believe the chart should be look at that way either. I feel that you take in consideration the other coordinates and not just the longitude ecliptic coordinates. I guess being Dyslexic,I am multidimensional thinker any way. Therefore,I view the chart as multidimensional.

But can someone explain this to me like i'm a 6 year old?

What exactly is a parallel or a contraparallel? Can someone give me an example?

I have Saturn parallel my ascendant. Supposedly an aspect showing a tiny frame or someone that grows at slower rates than most people do. Or well.. Just Saturn based influences on the body.. I think the influence isn't too hard to understand

Even as a male.. At 5 foot 8, I only weigh around 110-115 lbs.. I've always been extremely light.. Which is odd, because even while I am skinny, I don't look THAT skinny.

Some of my other parallels seem to have quite a significance too..

They seem to be overlooked.. Even I feel like I don't give them as much significance as I should at times.

I was never sure how to look at contra parallels so I never really looked at there influence in my chart..

My parents, I could say, at times, have definitely played some somewhat opposing influences in my life.

Of course, the sun and moon represent more than the Mother and Father..

But, with my parents relationship being the way it is (not the greatest) I was always surprised to find that me and my sister didn't have any sun-moon aspects in our charts..

Well, if I count Contra-Parallel.. Then, that definitely shows up in my chart, a bit.

Just realized.. not sure if declinations are ever used with stars or not.. And well.. This would be something I would be better off putting in to asteroid astrology, but it resonates.. So..

To put it simply, planets must be located like we would locate any other point -- by a two axis set of coordinates. The zodiac position of a planet is only its east-west axis, generally laid out relative to the sun's path (ecliptic). The declinations are the north and south positions of the planets -- north or south of the celestial equator.

Planets/points in the same degree/same distance north would be parallel in north declination. Same if they were both south.

Moon (11˚44’ N) is contra-parallel Venus, Saturn.
Saturn (10˚46' S)
Venus (12˚01' S) - maybe a bit too far for parallel with Saturn <orb 1°15'>.

Mars (14˚05' N)
MC (14˚08' N) if this figure is correct, it is parallel with Mars and yes, this is a legitimate aspect.

ASC (15˚50' N) is parallel S.Node
NN (16˚ 09’ S)

Sun (23˚07’ S) is parallel Mercury <orb=1°06'>, but too wide for Uranus, Neptune.
Mercury (24˚13’ S)
Uranus (21˚43' S)
Neptune (21˚ 06’ S)

And lmao, that's good about Sun/Neptune/Uranus being too wide, I already have moon square neptune and uranus..

ASC parallel SN is like a conjunction then, that makes sense.. my nodes are square the ASC too.
Moon-saturn, well I already have Mars opposite Saturn, they both make sense.. I guess self-mastery is the key
Thanks for clearing those up ^_^

Absolutely. Parallels are conjunctions of declination, contra-parallels oppositions of declination.

I think that's too great of a probability to not be of consequence.
