The orb on each (the conjunction and the parallel)are under one degree. Any significance? Do parallels even matter in synastry?

I just asked this question recently and was told parallels act like conjunctions so if the aspects are conjunct and parallel, that would give it a turbo boost per se...yes the orbs should be very tight like you indicated.

Yeah they're similar to conjunctions that I know - depending on who you ask they're either weak conjunctions or stronger than an actual conjunction. I was wondering if parallels even matter in synastry though because I never see people mention them anywhere.

The other aspect of this is, the two Vertex are conjunct - the orb is fairly wide on this one though, about three degrees which may not even count.

Well there's some very seasoned astrology people on this forum that I know use parallels, so although I recently learned about them as well, my impression is that they are definitely significant.

IMO I would still consider the 3 degree orb vertex's conjunct, yes a weak conjunction, but because the vertex is such a sensitive point, I believe it should be considered. 3 is the max though ( wouldn't go any wider.)
