if its latt and longitude the planets will be fused exactly or 1°> ) which is why they would be the same declination merely because they are located at the exact same point in the sky.

and sometimes for example if you are conjunct in longitude exact, but have the planet 10 degrees above it in lattitude, then you will find that the higher planets declination will be higher from the equator and thus will have a different declination. so all 3 should be taken into account separately.

also you can have a planet 5 aqua and 5 scorp and they can both be conjunct in lattitude,

all that would mean is they have the same distance away from the eclpitic, like they are both 3 degrees below the eclpitic (really not very interesting imo)

its more interesting for equator cause they vary much more than their distance from the ecliptic.

if the planets could be 90° from the equator, then it would be really rare and even more special when two planets are both the same distance above (if they were often scattered anywhere within 90°)

I'm gonna bump this so I can get other people's POVs on this.

Notice that even though Pluto is less than 5° from the end of Virgo/beginning of Libra where the ecliptic = 0° north/south, it is 16° North in declination.

Declination's mid-line is the celestial equator, which is better for north/south measure from a geocentric point of view, particularly since it helps define planetary cycles as they move through the zodiac. This is not to say the distance or angle between a body and the ecliptic does not have meaning, just that it has little or no significance in the birth charts of most people.
