They have the same declination the Sun would have at their degrees, and it matters in my experience. Parallels and contraparallels make already existing aspects more intense and can make the effects of said aspects manifest earlier and last longer. I suspect they have an effect even without longitude aspects happening at the same time, but I can't quite put my finger on the nature of those connections.

This is definitely true, I can only agree. - Thx!

Indeed. But for me the most fascinating thing about declination and parallels and contra-parallels is when you find connections between planets that dont show up as zodiacal.

From the solsticial axis (Cancer/Capricorn), we have the Antiscia, same declination (equal day and night). Same power and these are the signs that 'see each other.' In this relationship, the signs are from opposite Elements (Fire/Earth and Air/Water). They represent the shadow side of something that is being revealed to you. You are respected and considered in the relationship between the 2 planets. Example: Aries/Virgo It is like going to see your doctor. You don't know what he is doing but you value his opinion.
Some planets can go out of orb and appear to have different declinations like Pluto. This phenomenon occurs when a planet has a higher latitude (angle with the Ecliptic) added to the Sun declination (angle with the Equator). This happens in the Gemini/Cancer or Capricorn/Sagittarius axis. In this case look if they qualify by Right Ascension that is in the local sphere. Prince William and Kate are a good example.

Astrid Fallon has an interesting study 'Introduction à l'Astrologie en 3D' on her website
http://www.fallonastro.com/
where she says that planets near the Equator, lower declination are more peaceful while higher declination people are more black and white and more attached to differences.

From the equinoctial axis (Aries/Libra), we have the Contra-Antiscia, same declination but opposite. In this relationship, the signs 'hear each other' indicating a complementarity.
The general rule is that a planet in North declination is commanding, the South declination is obeying.

But isn't there a difference between the antiscia and the declinations?

Antiscia refer to the ecliptic and the position of planets in longitude.

Declinations refer to the equator and the position of planets as to the
equatorial plane, i.e. on it, above or north, or below or south of it, in-
dependently of the position of the planets in their ecliptical longitude.

equatorial plane,
Not so much 'refer to the equator' than 'measured from the equator' and connected to the Ecliptic as Martin says because the Ecliptic is the Sun's path.
And as such, it is connected to the Day/Night and the Seasons. Equal, more or less light.
See Tetrabiblos, Book I, ch. 14,15,16
-----------------
'There is a dramatic mundane symbol of the continuity of seasons and the personal interpretive potential of antiscia in the Arc de Triumph in Paris. Given clear sky conditions, you can see the sun rising through the arch on or around November 6. If you stand facing east, there is... (the Sun)... You can see the identical phenomenon exactly on the other side of the winter solstice on or around February 6 every year. What do these dates have in common? The zodiac positions of the Sun on these days are antiscia degrees, in this case equidistant from the winter solstice point 0 Capricorn... Great and sacred objects throughout the world often have such a celestial orientation."

Martin Gansten wrote:To be a little more explicit, parallels of declination are small circles parallel to the equator. ('Small' because they are not concentric with the equator, ecliptic, and other great circles.) Any such circle up to some 23 degrees north and south of the equator will intersect the ecliptic in two places. Those two places are called antsicia.
All those planets which are not in the intersections of the parallels with the
ecliptic (in the antiscia), but anywhere on the same parallel of declination, are
also of importance: When they are on the same parallel with another planet,
regardless where, or at which point, on this parallel each of them is, then
they are treated as being in a kind of conjunction.

When the other planet(s) is (are) on a parallel with the same distance to the
equator in degrees, but on the other side of it, north or south, then they are
counted to be in opposition.

Both Placidus and Morin thought so, and advocated using declination parallels only with respect to the actual bodies of the planets (antiscia with latitude, if you will). I'm not aware of anyone doing so before the 17th century, though. I've never used either version of the technique myself.
