What is a parallel?
Planets with the same or near-same declination are parallel to each other. Astrologers usually apply an orb or allowance of 1 degree for the parallel and contra-parallel. While a conjunction is an alignment in zodiacal longitude, the parallel is an alignment in the positions North or South of the celestial equator.
An example declination value is 8 N 23, or 4 S 54. A declination of zero degrees means the body is on the celestial equator.
For instance, if the Sun is at 19 S 30 and Jupiter is at 20 S 18, they are said to be parallel, as they are within a 1-degree orb of alignment. Parallels occur between planets and points that are both North or both South. If, in this example, Jupiter were at 20 N 18, the Sun and Jupiter would be considered contra-parallel.
Note that the parallel often accompanies the conjunction, strengthening the combination greatly. However, it also occurs in the absence of the conjunction and can be thus a somewhat hidden influence when assessing a chart, but once discovered, its influence is usually undeniable.
Alternate interpretation:
Over-expanse gets you into trouble but your positive expectations help you gain many rewards in life. Your cheerful optimistic spirit assists you in bringing any project to a good conclusion. The ability to create more of whatever you have becomes problematic whenever you have difficulties or troubles as they can also multiply. Your mental attitude holds the key to your actions, just as your values hold the key to the way your mental life unfolds.
