Transiting Midpoint Parallels Study

The Transiting Midpoint Parallels Study generates an event whenever two transiting bodies are precisely parallel or contraparallel and the near midpoint of their longitudes is conjunct (within orb) a natal body.

Events Captured

A Transiting Midpoint Parallels event occurs when two transiting bodies form an exact parallel or contraparallel and the near midpoint of their longitudes is within orb of a natal body. The activated natal body is reported alongside the transiting pair and the midpoint.
