There can be Contraparallels of Latitude (when two planets have equal but opposite latitudes measured north and south of the Ecliptic) and Contraparallels of Declination (when two planets have equal but opposite declinations measured north and south of the Celestial Equator).

An aspect formed when two planets are in opposite declination, that is, when they are the same distance from the celestial equator, one north of it and one south. Generally considered to operate like an opposition.

An aspect in declination when two planets have (within a 1° orb) the same degree of declination, but one is North and the other is South. Read by most astrologers as similar to an opposition.

The angular relationship between two planets that occupy the same degree (within 1° orb) and opposite direction of declination, one north of the celestial equator and the other south. Interpretational focus is similar to that of an opposition but less forceful. See also declination.

In astrology, a contraparallel occurs when two planets or celestial bodies occupy the same degree, within 1 degree of orb, but the opposite declination. One planet will occupy a position north of the celestial equator and the other will occupy the same degree south of the celestial equator. Whenever two planets or points are contraparallel to each other, they can be interpreted as opposing one another.
