The usual orb for declinations is 1 degree, so your Venus and Mars are a bit too far apart to be parallel imo.

trying to further understand parallels and this seems like a good thread. still not sure how to differentiate them from conjunctions in a tangible sense. marinating on dons2angelss interpretation of internal vs. external..

i have
mars 23°41'N parallel jupiter 23°24'N
chiron 12°5'N parallel mercury 12°45'N

Mars 22N42 parallel Mercury 22N45
Venus 12N49 parallel Pluto 12N15 contraparallel Uranus 12S34
Saturn 21N04 contraparallel Neptune 20S50

There are other connections as well. My Mars 25Can40 is also antiscia my Mercury 3Gem43.
My Venus is in H8, my chart ruler and H8 ruler, Pluto is conjunct my ASC and they make an inconjunct aspect in my natal. These two are definitely connected but in a weird way. I don’t trust them together at all.
My Venus 7Tau15 is opposite Uranus 4Sco33 in my natal. And in draco I have an Aquarius ASC.
My Saturn 27Can34 is sesquisquare Neptune 13Sag16 and part of an triangular aspect pattern. My draco Saturn 15Sag03 is (wide) conjunct my natal Neptune. My draco Mars 13Sag09 is however closer.

Patterns everywhere, but what does it mean…

with my mars parallel jupiter, i do feel like it is a huge part of my personality - i liken it more to my manic states but is kinda always sitting there internally. aries and sag are prominent in my chart and jupiter is my chart ruler. is antiscia calculated by degree or sign? my mars is 26°14' cancer and jupiter is 28°17' gemini. my mars is also out of bounds.

i feel my vibe can be intense depending on my mood (8th house ruler moon in 1st, cancer mars in 8th). if i speak, i can come across too intense for some people despite the contrary from a subjective point of view. when i stay quiet, people perceive something completely different.

i do feel like venus parallel pluto has played a huge part in my life, mainly in close friendships/relationships. binds and bonds with people give me pain and pleasure simultaneously. trying to achieve balance and be more casual about interests has been a life challenge and i tend to feel freer when i have nobody in my life (pluto in 11th).

I try to be diplomatic and charming most of the time. I strongly believe in the benefits of cooperation. It might not be the fastest way to get somewhere but the outcome usually is the most robust one. But I can flip a switch. I can be very intimidating once I’m done with someone’s sh*t. If we’re not getting anywhere close to a solution then I will force one if necessary. I can be a bit of a bulldozer when I reach that point. All that Taurus/Pluto in combination with the Mars/Saturn in H10 can make me very headstrong.

With what you wrote, it makes sense that your Pluto is in H11. Where H5 is the house where you give love/admiration. H11 is the house where you receive love/admiration.

It entirely depends on how tight the parallel aspect is (and what planets are involved). A tight parallel aspect, say within 0°05' or so, between say Mars & Uranus, shows energies that can dominate a person's life through the compulsion to rebel or act spontaneously without proper consideration of consequences. Freedom is the de facto cause until the person learns consistent moderation in contemplating the potential effects of their actions on those around them (not just on the target of their response). That Mars-Uranus fusion interpretation holds most true for males.

Thank you for your explanation Kannon!

Hmmm, my Mars parallel Mercury is very tight, maybe the conjunction of Mars to Saturn also influences the way this parallel manifests? It really takes a lot before I express my anger. And even then I’m usually still very much in control. I will get very dominant and raise my voice but my mind won’t shut down. I will remain fairly rational. My Cancer Mars is ruled by my Virgo Moon making Gemini Mercury it’s final dispositor. Maybe that helps too, because it makes my Mercury stronger than my Mars.

Definitely. While Mars urges the mind's activity (Mercury), Saturn keeps it more contained and constructively focused (rather than impulsive).

That is pretty similar to how I've come to look at it.

And a combo of having Jupiter retrograding back into the 1st and closest planet to the Asc, the chart ruler the Sun parallel Neptune, Neptune in 5th trine Asc, Neptune almost exactly sextile Venus the ruler of the Moon and MC, faster moving ruler of the IC and 9th conjunct Jupiter, and angular Pisces SN, is what explains to me when growing up and first learning about astrology in many ways I identified more with Pisces than with Capricorn. (But, over the years, I've become more Capricornian).

With Placidus Houses, my Gemini Mercury is also in H8 (and trine my Libra ASC/Pluto) but on the cusp of H9. My Cancer Mars/Saturn conjunction is in H10. With my Libra ASC and Taurus Venus I have a very Venusian chart (I also have my Virgo Moon trine my Taurus Venus/Jupiter). So I guess that my vibe is generally more Venusian than Plutonian. For me it does seem to fit my personality. I love decorating my home, I have English roses in my garden and I enjoy cooking nice homemade meals. When it comes to style, I’m feminine but not girly (all pastel, frilly and cute).

I think Moon in H1 can be a very intense placement especially if it rules H8 and your Mars. Do you have any other planets in H1? I absolutely think your Mars square Mercury causes you to be perceived as more aggressive and emotional than your intentions. A square creates a lot of energy and this will be felt by others because your Moon, also the ruler of your Mars, is in H1.

thanks for sharing. that is interesting how those supposedly intense parallels play into your chart in a more flowing and directed manner. all the planets working together in harmony. very venusian in that manner also.

i have neptune wide conjunct the moon in 1st/parallel asc, which is ruler of my 4th. when i raise my voice, i stay pretty rational too (mercury trine saturn).. but youre right. i probably exert some kind of aggressive emotional energy from my voice. perhaps the intensity can be cloaked with the strong neptune when i dont speak. ..and if activated, mercury parallel chiron wounds add way too much sauce to the mix.
