Ceridwen,Some points for consideration: - It is impossible for the Moon in Aquarius (middle south declination) to be in parallel with anything at 0 degrees. The Moon reaches 0 declination when it is at the end of zodiacal Pisces/beginning of Aries, or at the end of Virgo/beginning of Libra. - Maybe you've confused latitude for declination, since Uranus and Pluto have not been parallel at 0* north or south declination in the past century. The latitude and declination columns are side-by-side in astro.com's pdf data sheets. In astro.com's pdf data sheets the 'latitude' column comes before the 'declination' column, reading left to right. The 'latitude' column is topped by the Sun generally at some variation of 0* followed by a much narrower range of variation by the other planets. The 'declination' column is listed to the right of that, before the calculated positions to the far right. ------------------

I know of some good astrologers on other forums who do use the parallel of latitude in addition to the parallel of declination. Those ones seem to have the same opinion as you about the importance of declinations and from what I understand, they use the parallel of latitude if there are no declinations or regular aspects to explain something. I believe they have 'rules' for using the Parallel of latitude, like very close orbs, and maybe if a planet is angular or strong in a way, then a parallel of latitude would be felt. Would you consider using that ever? (Forgive me if I am assuming that you don't use the parallel of latitude, it just seemed like you only use the parallel in declination). I remember reading about an example of I believe, Mercury that was not majorly aspected or had any conjunctions or parallels in declination but yet the person's mind was lightning quick (I forget the sign but it was not one known for quick thinking) and it turned out to have a parallel of latitude with Uranus, under 30 minutes. It might be something to consider? IP: Logged |

ha! This is exactly what I was going to ask too Cherri  I'd love to know about latitudes. I think i read somewhere that they need to be exact.
e.g. my sun is 0.0.0S and my NN is 0.0.0N so they would be contra parallel i'm assuming?
and i guess it would work in synastry too? IP: Logged |

I'm not Kannon, but I think I can help. You can definitely use latitudes (same parallels and contra-parallels as declinations), but it's best to keep the orbs under 0°20.  IP: Logged |

Cherri,No, I don't use latitudes for aspects. And I doubt that it is the genuine explanation for the person's lightning quick mind in the example you gave. There are numerous sites online that express a misunderstanding of latitude and falsely equate it with declination. A quick survey of any data sheet listing of both should dispel that notion. This is partly a problem of the inclusion of some technical data by programs like astro.com that is not really usable by laypersons, only programmers or those working with algorithms or other technical data related to planetary motion.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Declination#Relation_to_latitude Celestial latitude is not declination.
