Balanced Parallels Study

The Balanced Parallels Study generates an event whenever two transiting bodies are exactly parallel while being equally distant (within orb) from the 90° axis on the zodiac, on opposite sides of the 90°-270° axis. Use the study to find moments of declinational symmetry around the cardinal axes.

You can also create a Balanced Parallels Study from the toolbar by clicking the Parallel Studies drop-down button and selecting Balanced Parallels.

Events Captured

A Balanced Parallels event occurs when two transiting bodies are exactly parallel while being the same angular distance (within orb) in degrees of longitude (or right ascension) from 90° on the zodiac, with the bodies on opposite sides of the 90°-270° axis.

Events Table Columns

The events table for a Balanced Parallels Study contains the following columns:

Column	Description
Date Time	Date and time of the balanced parallel event.
Event Type	Subtype (Parallel or Contraparallel) of the balanced event.
Inner Body	Name of the faster-moving body.
Inner Body Longitude	Ecliptic longitude of the inner body.
Inner Body Sign	Zodiac sign (with degrees) of the inner body.
Inner Body Latitude	Ecliptic latitude of the inner body.
Inner Body Distance	Distance of the inner body from the coordinate origin.
Inner Body Speed	Daily motion of the inner body.
Separation	Residual latitude difference at the moment of detection (near zero; balanced parallels fire at exact latitude match).
Outer Body	Name of the slower-moving body.
Outer Body Longitude	Ecliptic longitude of the outer body.
Outer Body Sign	Zodiac sign (with degrees) of the outer body.
Outer Body Latitude	Ecliptic latitude of the outer body.
Outer Body Distance	Distance of the outer body from the coordinate origin.
Outer Body Speed	Daily motion of the outer body.
Event Interval	Time interval since the previous balanced parallel event.
