How to use Paran Synastry

 

 

One may compare charts using paran synastry. Part of a normal Speculum is a Paran Synastry between two charts. These charts can be two natal charts, a natal and a dynamic chart (like transits or progressions) or a static chart like a return. For example, if Jack's Moon culminates while Jill's Sun is rising, those two luminaries’ cross angles together and, by analogy, they act together; they are "on stage" with each other and act out a "scene" in accordance with their individual and combined astrological signatures.

 

The Completed Parans in a paran comparison are useful for how natal charts interact at a specific latitude and when used with dynamic material like transits or progressions add depth and texture that is impossible to see in an orthodox, zodiacally based horoscope. The depth and context that parans afford create a deeper psychological description than the natal zodiacal material alone would show. When we use dynamic material like events or electionals against a natal horoscope, parans shine brightly and reveal unique connections and meaning that are also place sensitive in his world. This is the work of astrology’s ancient past and the key to astrology’s future.

 

The final table of Paran Comparisons shows the Completed Parans that affect two horoscopes. This table illustrates that the individual’s In Mundo connections between 2 charts are unique to the location’s latitude and will change as things move either North of the location or South of the location.
