A parallel aspect is formed when 2 planets are in the same degree of declination – north or south of the celestial equator. Both planets can be south or north of the equator, or one can be south and the other north. Whatever the case the aspect is called a parallel aspect.
You’re likely to have a parallel aspect in your birth chart and due to the slow rates of motion of the major planets their progressed parallel aspects can have an influence over many years and even your entire life.
So you need to have a clear understanding of the aspect’s influence which is similar to a conjunction but more persistent and less precise in action.
A parallel aspect is neutral in its feeling quality. It has no harmony or discord except when Venus or Jupiter (the harmonious planets) or Mars or Saturn (the discordant planets) are involved.
A parallel aspect involving Venus or Jupiter has a harmony score and a parallel aspect involving Mars or Saturn has a discord score. A Venus-Saturn parallel has a discord score and a Mars-Jupiter parallel has a harmony score. A Venus-Mars parallel and a Jupiter-Saturn parallel has no harmony or discord.
A parallel aspect with no harmony or discord puts the focus on your own character and actions rather than fortunate or unfortunate environmental forces beyond your personal control.
A parallel aspect in your birth chart maps a loosely formed and changeable thought-compound in your soul-consciousness thats formation experience was associated with a life-matter, activity or social relationship ruled by the house or houses occupied by the planets in parallel.
Its thought-cell activity is persistent, prolonged and intense. And a temporary intensity thought-compound mapped by a progressed parallel aspect is working to attract an important event that is likely to occur when the aspect is close to perfect and at peak power.
You should not neglect a high-powered progressed parallel aspect that has long time-frame. While it’s within its effective one degree orb the thought-cells are under stimulation and even though their mode of expression is imprecise and changeable they’re working from the precursor realm of unconscious thought to influence your conscious thinking and behavior and attract events that reflect their intent and how they feel.
Your life unfolds as thought-compounds mapped by birth chart aspects are stimulated into activity by progressed aspects.
The most important events are mapped by aspects with the highest astrodyne power scores and they can be parallel aspects.
Take home message: A parallel aspect in your birth chart maps a loosely formed and imprecise thought-compound that’s predisposed to gradually intensify over a long period of time eventually resulting in an event involving a life-matter, activity or social relationship ruled by the house or houses occupied by the planets in parallel.
