Does maybe anyone know a good (online) tool to calculate parallels and contraparallels in synastry charts???So far I've always done this manually, but when you look at more than just one chart this method gets tiring very soon. Yeah, I know, typical Sagittarius of me not to have the patience to look at the charts carefully without the help of the computer ...  IP: Logged |

You can calculate them on Astro. Just do a chart, then choose the "View the Additional Tables" link. It lists all of the aspects by longitude and by declination. 8th IP: Logged |

Just realized that maybe you mean that lists the parallels and Contras between the 2 charts? I don't know of a free one. 8th IP: Logged |

Yeah, that's what I meant. So far I've always done it with the tables from Astro.com and compared the declinations of each planet with the declinations of the planets of the other person. But it's very time-consuming... I remember that I once had a free Astro-software which also calculated the parallels and contraparallels. Unfortunately, I deleted the program from my computer (stupid me) and now I don't remember which one it was. IP: Logged |

At the risk of sounding like an ignoramus, can someone explain what paralleland contraparallel means? I see these terms alot, and I've looked it up, but I still don't understand...declinations and latitudes... If possible, can you give an exapmle too?ciao IP: Logged |

Hey Ciao! I listed this quote in a different thread about synastry, but it's the same thing when you look at a natal chart, too. This is a pretty good explanation for what parallel and contraparallel are. quote: I'm also going to introduce you to another natal chart that most astrologists don't use (except the Magi Society) and that is the declinational chart. There's an explanation as to what a declination is, but just trust me, it's another measurement of a planet's position. There is just as much validity to this charts' information as a longitudinal one. It is however, measured differently. It's measurement looks like this - Venus - 24N31, or Mars - 10S15 , and the N and S indicate whether it was/is south or north of the equator. It also doesn't matter if the planet's position is N or S, just the orb of degrees is important. The orb of aspect is strongest within a 1.2 degrees. So for an example here, take our Venus at 24N31, a Mars that is somewhere between 23N/S11 and 25N/S51 would be strongest in orb. Also, there are no harmonious or challenging aspects, just connections.
If the planets are both north or both south, they are parallel. If one is north and the other south, they are contraparallel.  IP: Logged |

I know for a fact, the Magi software will do it in geocentric, AND heliocentric charts.U just gotta have the money to pay for it  IP: Logged |
