from the book "Declination in astrology" by Paul F. Newman:

"it is a bridging between hemispheres and need not have the negative connotation of opposite energy."

"A contraparallel in declination is most obviously a bridging across two hemispheres. ... the symmetry of a contraparallel unites two planets across the hemisphere in a way that is quite different to a longitude opposition which appears to divide a zodiac chart in half. And this I would sugest is the basic contrast in meaning. ... Finally any contra-poarallel has as its midpoint the celestial equator itself, tying both bodies to this powerful area and affecting them whenever the equator is activated (at the equinnox for instance). Few opposing degrees in longitude have their midpoints at zero Arie/Libra or other cardinal points so they do not have claim to such a uniting energy."
