Meghan and Harry have mutual Sun-Moon parallels. This is an aspect that is every bit as indicative of basic bonding and unity as those planets in (longitude/zodiac) conjunction.

I have not personally validated these Ascendant figures by testing, but the internal indicators are that they are at least generally accurate enough to rely on for the planet-to-planet comparisons.

Harry's Moon is the stem planet of focus in a Yod with Meghan's Neptune and Pluto. Her creativity and trans-personal values will influence and reshape his habits and help grow his sensitivities. With his Moon in steady Taurus, I expect he has been quite willing.

Some nice aspects are:
- His Sun sextile her Uranus
- His Venus sextile her Pluto
- His Mars trine her Sun
- His Jupiter square her Moon: yes, this is a positive aspect in synastry and generally, including in transits as even Robert Hand notes in his book [i]Planets in Transit[/b]. It shows he tends to be indulgent of her and feels extra giving to her.
- His Saturn is sextile her Venus
- His Saturn is trine her Mars
- His Uranus is trine her Sun and Mercury
- His Uranus is sextile her Jupiter and Saturn
- His North Node parallel her Mercury, which helps with their communication as they move forward.

More challenging aspects are:
- His Sun square her Neptune
- His Venus contra-parallel her Pluto
- His Mars square her Venus, although many people like this type of aspect and it certainly does not ruin any synastry
- His Jupiter contra-parallel her Mars
- His Jupiter square her Saturn, so they have different notions of extravagance and its limits and/or ethical limits
- His Uranus square her Venus
- His Pluto square her North Node, and he has certainly transformed her life direction even so far, but it will be stressful for her to maintain her own direction and clear purpose.
- His South Node conjunct her Uranus shows me a past life connection that was abruptly disrupted or broken and can make for some uneasiness moving forward.

The most interesting aspect is:
- His Uranus parallel her Neptune within 0°02' arc. This suggests they will be a highly unusual couple in some respects, and certainly already are against the backdrop of royal British tradition. After all, she is American and of mixed heritage. So this aspect implies some brilliance, some uniqueness, some creative approaches to their life together that could not only break conventions, but even induce the support of others in doing so.

In the end, there is no better set of aspects than the mutual Sun-Moon parallels. This is why declinations are so important.

I am not going to predict the fate of their marriage based on this (or even on a composite chart). I wish them a happy and long life together, just as I want for Heather and I.

Yes. The Magi Society's 2.5° for all planets and aspects in declination is too wide. The McEvers-March textbook orb of 1° is too narrow, at least for some planets. Those are for one's own birth chart aspects.

We tighten things up for synastry. So about 1.5° between Sun and Moon, but more around 1° or less for most of the rest. A bit more for Moon and Jupiter, but only 0°50' or so for Pluto.

I only have moon 2 24’46 N and mars at 0 49’22 N
Does this count? Lol it’s within 2 degrees...
and does this act like a moon-mars conjunction?

---

That may be a bit too wide for natal Moon aspects. But it is close. I know that I've got verification for 1.5° between Moon and Asc, but Mars is further out. 1.6° like you've got there may be out of reach. Do you feel your emotions are a bit quick, run 'hot' and too reactive? Read a lot of descriptions of Moon conjunct Mars and see if you feel it fits.

Kate and Will also have the same thing and some more.... Kate and Will have both Suns and both Moons at 22' and 23' in declinations. So they have a quadralupe conjunction of Suns and Moons all together. It's because Will has a New Moon in his chart and Kate has a Full Moon in her chart. Their natal lunations are conjunct in the declinations.

Not quite. William's Sun is at 23N26 and Kate's 21N48, so within 1.6° is a wide parallel. But with William's Moon (Cancer) 22N34 and Kate's Sun (Capricorn) 22S04, that makes a contra-parallel aspect.

Brat Pitt and Angelina have the same thing, but this is off my memory

No, Brad's Moon in Capricorn at 22 south is contra-parallel Angelina's Sun in Gemini at 22 north. Only his Uranus makes a declination aspect to her Moon at 8 North, but pretty tight.

Kannon, isn't contra parallel just as powerful as the parallel? I thought it was

Would Sun/Moon contra-parallel be interpretated the same as what you described above for parallel?

posted May 24, 2018 09:25 PM            

The contra parallel is interpreted like the opposition.

It can be, but has the dynamic of an opposition, which shows those energies are looking for integration and balance. With the parallel, the two energies are 'on the same wavelength.'

No. The contra-parallel is an opposition of declination. Therefore it has the same dynamic needing integration and balance.

Also, what do you make of Vertex parallel Vertex?

I make nothing of it since I do not note or use Vertex in my work.

It would depend on natal placements and Kate has moon opposite sun in her natal. So the contraparralel might bring a stronger affinity in this relationship. Idk kannon what do you think?

The conjunction and parallel of Sun and Moon in synastry show more natural bonding or unity. Any Sun-Moon aspect is good, but with the contra-parallel or opposition more effort is needed to find harmony.

Harry and Megan met during a prog composite NEW MOON (result of both prog lunar phases dancing around the square)

Another luminary miracle to not forget during their first date in july '16;

His progressed Moon: 18'36 Cancer
Her natal Asc: 24'17 Cancer

Her progressed Moon: 5'55 Cap
His natal Asc: 11'21 Cap

^ + 6 months and we have a DW pMoon-nASC conjunction.

^ Might it be that they're first pictured together in public at that time - december '16? (she also has an **exact** prog lunar phase square then)
