How do I interpret antiscias/contra-antiscias in my natal chart?

My Sun antiscia my Asc.
My Moon antiscia my Venus.
My Lilith (asteroid) antiscia my Sun.
My BML antiscia my Mars.

Actually some of those might be contra-antiscia, I'm not sure which column indicates what in the astrodienst chart tables.

I've come across more info on antiscias in synastry but not so much for natal...do they even have an effect in natal?

It is a term that confuses what is happening in declination with zodiacal points. It skews declination phenomenon it as if all planets move exactly along the ecliptic, yet they don't. http://www.astro.com/astrowiki/en/Antiscion

If you want to understand what is actually going on, look at the actual declination position of planet and whether they are in parallel aspect. Sun at 25° Gemini = 23N20 declination, just like Sun at 5° Cancer = 23N20 declination, but planets, and especially the Moon, do not follow the Sun's path exactly. So it is not important to know points of scion or anti-scion, but the actual declination of each planet.

This inadequate descriptor 'antiscia' transfers that back to zodiacal (longitude) terms when what we're talking about is not a longitude (east-west) relationship, but a north-south one (declination). Therefore it is only reliable for determining if Sun is in same declination as another point reliably following the Sun's path (like Asc or MC).

Scion = misrepresentation of parallel (same declination).
Contra- or anti-scion = misrepresentation of contra-parallel (opposite declination).

This sign-based misrepresentation of the sky's north-south dimension has been going on a long, long time.
