I personally first consider declination aspects, then follow those up with the major latitudinal aspects the conjunction,square and opposition.

In my chart Sun-Jupiter are parallel by a tight orb of less than 1.

Sun-Jupiter are also conjunct by a 5 degree orb.

So this suggests that Sun-Jupiter is a very prominent aspect in my chart as there is both a declination aspect and conjunction.

There is no "winner" in the strict sense of the word. They work in union.

Even in two differing charts, the natives concerned will express the energy of the combo. Whether you find the parallel aspect in one or the conjunction in the other.

What does count here is the orb tightness. In the latter case, the one with the wider orb of either will have another aspect(with a tighter orb) automatically dominate.

So if there is a wider orb of the conjunction, the aspect may not be as strong as the one with an orb under obe degree orb in parallel declination.

which one of these two people embodies Mars/Pluto the most?

Both do. The aspect presence suggest they will embody its nature.The house position however will be more telling as to "where" the expression will peak.

Parallel and Contraparallel aspects ARE aspects.They are REAL aspects.Atleast that is my experience as the transits involving declinations nullified the doubt I had.

All other things being equal, probably the person with the conjunction. But it could also depend on whether one of these has a natal aspect culminating by progression. If one does, that one may be the one that most embodies it.

There was nothing "pretentious" about Trans Ura parallel Asc.That was a definitive radical change in identity.

I have Mercury parallel Jupiter(no aspect between Jupiter and Mercury).Have you seen how long and dare I say "preachy" my posts can get on here when I am passionate about a subject? Its hard for me to be "brief" on many of my responses.

My ex has Venus contra parallel Mars. He is dating a volatile balling fist responsive individual who gets very physical with him. This supports his Uranus/Mars contraparallel.

I don't consider them "weak" at all.However I do have trouble discerning the effects of the "minor" aspects sesquiquadrate, semi-square,semi-sextile etc. I really can't explain those successfully.

It works fundamentally by what the planets are. So push aside signs at first. What is the Moon? In synastry Moon parallel Moon shows resonance and sympathy in spite of the different signs involved. Two modes of expression don't have to change for there to be an emotional center between the two people.

My Moon in Cancer forms a tight parallel with a friend of mine who has his Moon in Leo. I would not say we are very close.There could be other factors at play though.

Another has Sun in Gemini tightly parrallel my Moon in Cancer.We grate on each other's nerves.He irritates me.

I was suprised to find a Moon in Aqua I really liked.Their Moon tightly parallel my Sun.We got on very well.

No, but it very often involves planets that are in neighboring signs. It is a feature of declination, planets' movements north and south of the celestial equator. You can read all about it on my declinations page:

Thank you Kannon! I have moon square mars in my natal chart in Leo and Taurus, this would be parallel?

No, to check parallels (on astro.com) pull a chart, click on 'PDF > Additional tables'.

Over there, you'll be able to see the declination for each planet and whether it's North or South.
