A very loose association, and in some circumstances (or for some people) the parallel/contra-parallel aspects do not happen all. That is because the Moon's declination cycle does not maintain the same extreme ends. It always passes 0° declination of course, but its extremes at north/south range from 18° during the more compact end of the cycle to 28°+ at the widest end of the cycle. This is called the Soli-Lunar cycle.

So if your natal Saturn is at 23° north, the Moon will come up about 4° short of both parallel and contra-parallel aspect to it in the compact cycle, but will make those aspects to it in the middle and longer ranges of its declination cycle.

In progressions, it depends on where Moon was in its cycle when you were born.
