Mundane Parallels Study

The Mundane Parallels Study generates an event whenever a pair of transiting bodies form a parallel or contraparallel aspect. A parallel occurs when two bodies share the same declination on the same side of the celestial equator; a contraparallel occurs when they share the same declination magnitude on opposite sides.

Events Captured

A Mundane Parallels event occurs when a pair of transiting bodies form an exact parallel or contraparallel. Both subtypes are reported in a single events table, distinguished by the Event Type column.

Events Table Columns

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

Column	Description
Date Time	Date and time of the parallel/contraparallel event.
Event Type	Subtype of the event (Parallel or Contraparallel).
Inner Body	Name of the faster-moving body in the parallel.
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.
Outer Body	Name of the slower-moving body in the parallel.
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 parallel event.
