Parallel Activations Study

The Parallel Activations Study generates an event whenever two transiting bodies are parallel or contraparallel while at least one of them is parallel (within orb) to a natal body. The parallel to the natal body activates that natal body.

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

Events Captured

A Parallel Activations event occurs when two transiting bodies form an exact parallel or contraparallel while at least one of the transiting bodies is parallel (within the transit orb) to a natal body. The natal body is reported alongside the transiting pair as the body the parallel activates. Both parallel subtypes are reported in a single events table, distinguished by the Event Type column.

Events Table Columns

The events table for a Parallel Activations Study contains the following columns:

Column	Description
Date Time	Date and time of the event.
Event Type	Subtype of the parallel event (Parallel or Contraparallel).
Inner Body	Name of the inner (faster) transiting body in the parallel that activates the natal body.
Inner Body Longitude	Ecliptic longitude (or right ascension) of the inner body.
Inner Body Sign	Zodiac sign of the inner body.
Inner Body Latitude	Ecliptic latitude (or declination) of the inner body.
Inner Body Distance	Distance of the inner body from the coordinate origin.
Inner Body Speed	Apparent angular speed of the inner body.
Outer Body	Name of the outer (slower) transiting body in the parallel.
Outer Body Longitude	Ecliptic longitude (or right ascension) of the outer body.
Outer Body Sign	Zodiac sign of the outer body.
Outer Body Latitude	Ecliptic latitude (or declination) of the outer body.
Outer Body Distance	Distance of the outer body from the coordinate origin.
Outer Body Speed	Apparent angular speed of the outer body.
Natal Body	Name of the natal body activated by the parallel.
Natal Body Longitude	Ecliptic longitude (or right ascension) of the natal body.
Natal Body Sign	Zodiac sign of the natal body.
Natal Body Latitude	Ecliptic latitude (or declination) of the natal body.
Natal Body Distance	Distance of the natal body from the coordinate origin.
Natal Body Speed	Apparent angular speed of the natal body.
Event Interval	Time interval between this event and the previous event.
