Can somebody explain in simplistic terms what the parallel and contraparallel are?

I've read that they're much like a conjunction and opposition.
How do we calculate them in a natal and synastry chart?

A parallel exists when two planets are in the same declination either north or south of the equator within a 1degree orb. A contra-parallel works somewhat like an opposition. A contra-parallel exists when one planet is north by declination

EXAMPLE
I have Sun Parallel Moon
Sun 16 Leo and Moon is 15 Leo
Moon 15 Leo and Mars is 14 Leo
