What is a Draconic Astrology Chart, How do you Read it, and What Does it Have to do with Reincarnation?
EXPLANATION
So, you’ve gotten past basic astrology and are starting to fall down the rabbit hole of draconic charts. But, what exactly is a Draconic astrology chart? Well, a Draconic astrology chart takes your chart and adjusts it until your North Node is at 0 degrees Aries. The North Node at 0 degrees Aries directly translates, in astrology, to “your life purpose is to figure out who you are in comparison by who you’ve been told to be”.
Why does setting the North Node to 0 degrees Aries reveal your true path, you might ask? Well, it all has to do with the symbology of the Moon. When we arrive in this world, there are two components that affect us: our nature and our nurture. The Moon points to how we experience our entry to this world (mother) and the north node of that moon (the path she sets us on) determines how the rest of our chart manifests. So, if we mathematically set our life path to be a mission to figure out who we are, the resulting ratio of planets changes to what we would be without our mother’s influence.
Now, of course, it should be noted that since we do in fact have a mother that brings us into this world, so our draconic chart may seem irrelevant, but it can give us insight as to what we would do “naturally” without the moons influence. Getting an understanding of who we are at our core, before we even incarnate, can also help give insight as to why we’ve changed to accomplish this new component of growth in our current lifetime.
Now that we have a base understanding of what a Draconic astrology chart is, we can move on to how you read one. In short, it is as follows:
INTERPRETATIONS
*Note: if your North Node falls under another category, treat it as non-aspecting, or that you are in an in between step in lifetimes. There is still info to be gained from your Draconic chart, but there isn’t a general way to relate it to your natal one that I’m aware of. These themes are EXTREMELY general and are meant to help you relate your Draconic planets to their counterpart (Draconic Sun to natal Sun, Draconic Mercury to Draconic Mercury, ect.) natal planets.
If your original North Node is in 25 degrees Pisces -5 degrees Aries…
Your Draconic chart hasn’t really changed, meaning you’re already on the path of discovering who you are. All of your Draconic placements should be more or less conjunction your counterpart natal ones.
If your original North Node is in 25 degrees Aries - 5 degrees Taurus…
Your Draconic chart is looking to take the first step to evolving into something new. All of your draconic planets will form semi-sextiles to your counterpart natal ones and a major lesson will be learning limitations that having a physical body has on what you would otherwise be. As a result, you’ll likely feel like you’re constantly trying to figure out what the next step is to get what you want or how to think ahead and plan for what you want to do. This aspect makes you feel as if you are constantly trying to catch up to a seemingly infinite number of steps, which is enough to make many people with this placement question their sanity. It also, however, provides nearly limitless experiences and a constant motion to your life.
If your original North Node is in 12-18 degrees Taurus…
Your Draconic chart is likely finding a hard time balancing what it wants to be with what it needs to be to survive life on Earth. All of your Draconic planets will form semi-squares to your counterpart natal ones and a major lesson will be learning how physical limitations and needing to wait can all stifle the desire to live at all but how those limitations also force that natural expression to find ways to express itself that it never thought were possible. This is an aspect that forces you to learn the value of life and you’ll tend to experience both the good and the bad deep forms. This placement shows a lifetime where the raw endurance needed to survive on Earth can be developed for future lives.
If your original North Node is in 25 degrees Taurus - 5 degrees Gemini…
Your Draconic chart is learning how to take a pretty natural but alternate form and will have to put in a bit of effort to get themselves working properly. All of your Draconic planets will sextile your counterpart natal planets and a major life lesson will be learning how you can shape yourself to fit a new environment if you care enough to do so. This is an aspect that allows the you to learn how to adjust to earth-life in a way that provides you the satisfaction of overcoming an obstacle without making the transition traumatic. This placement shows a lifetime where it takes constant vigilance to maintain your new earthbound identity, but your ability to succeed in doing so makes the effort worth it.
If your original North Node is in 10 - 14 degrees Gemini…
Your Draconic chart will likely feel quite at home in your natal chart, although it might not feel like a typical fit. All of your Draconic planets will quintile your counterpart natal planets and a major life lesson will be finding creative ways to make your true self shine through this strange natal costume you’re wearing. You may even find qualities not typical of your Natal chart popping in from time to time from your Draconic since it’s almost impossible for those energies to keep from making themselves known.
If your original North Node is in 25 degrees Gemini - 5 degrees Cancer…
Your Draconic chart is going to have a bit of a bone to pick with the new natal chart it’s being forced into. All of your Draconic planets will square your counterpart natal planets, and a major life lesson will be learning that what makes you you is not entirely decided by you when it comes to life on Earth. You may feel a constant pressure to become what you’re born as rather than what you feel you are, which can hurt your self-esteem. However, it enables you to claim more than one type of identity, resulting in a remarkably strong sense of self after the initial shock.
If your original North Node is in 25 degrees Cancer - 5 degrees Leo…
You might not even notice the change your Draconic chart presents because it flows more or less smoothly. All your Draconic planets will form a trine to your counterpart natal ones, so getting the two to go together isn’t difficult. It can, however, sometimes make you not realize how much you could use that energy to move forward since there really isn’t an impetus to do so.
If your original North Node is in 12 degrees Leo - 17 degrees Leo…
You may be having a bit too much ease in using your draconic planets, almost to the point where they can seem to dominate your natal ones. All your Draconic planets will form a sesquare to your counterpart natal ones, so it may feel like you’ve already learned some of your current lessons but are going through them anyways, albeit with a somewhat agitated attitude. While it may be tempting to not repeat learning them, this placement provides you the opportunity to strengthen your current abilities beyond what comes easily by adding a component that is difficult. You may constantly feel like no matter what you do it’s never enough, but going the extra mile will pay off in the end.
If your original North Node is in 22 degrees Leo - 26 degrees Leo…
You may feel like you’re suppose to be going somewhere in your life and have a very strong need to make this lifetime count for something. All your Draconic planets will form a bi-quintile to your counterpart natal ones, so it may feel like now is the time to go hard at moving forward in your life, all but shedding your previous self to prove that you can become something new and entirely self-made.
If your original North Node Is in 28 degrees Leo - 2 degrees Virgo…
You may be at a point in your life where what you need to be to survive on earth has absolutely nothing to do with who you are, and you are learning that you are an infinite being capable of many expressions. All your Draconic planets will form an inconjunct (or quincunx) to your counterpart natal planets and a major life lesson will be learning that sometimes what you need to be is not always what you want to be, but that there is satisfaction in serving your purpose even if it isn’t natural.
If your original North Node is in 25 degrees Virgo - 5 degrees Libra…
You are finalizing your identity. All your Draconic planets will form an opposition to your counterpart natal planets and a major life lesson will be learning what it means to live as a reflection of your true, higher-self in a solid, physical world. With this opposition in place, your higher-self learns what it means to exist outside of earth because of your existence on earth and both sides can gain a new appreciation for what the other does, even though it may be hard to keep the two in balance.
If your original North Node is in 28 degrees Libra - 2 degrees Scorpio…
You may be at a point in your life where what you need to be to survive on earth has absolutely nothing to do with who you are, and you are learning that you are an infinite being capable of many expressions. All your Draconic planets will form an inconjunct (or quincunx) to your counterpart natal planets and a major life lesson will be learning that sometimes what you need to be is not always what you want to be, but that there is satisfaction in being something other than what you are for a while. For the time being, keeping those Draconic planets out of sight while learning may be the safest option.
If your original North Node is in 4 degrees Scorpio - 8 degrees Scorpio…
You may feel like you’re suppose to be going somewhere in your life and have a very strong need to make this lifetime count for something. All your Draconic planets will form a bi-quintile to your counterpart natal ones, so it may feel like now is the time to go hard at moving forward in your life, all but shedding your previous self to prove that you can transform into something new and entirely reconstructed
If your original North Node is in 13 - 17 degrees Scorpio…
You may be having a bit too much ease in using your draconic planets, almost to the point where they can seem to dominate your natal ones. All your Draconic planets will form a sesquare to your counterpart natal ones, so it may feel like you’ve already learned some of your current lessons but are going through them anyways, albeit with a somewhat agitated attitude. While it may be tempting to not repeat learning them, this placement provides you the opportunity to strengthen your current abilities beyond what comes easily by adding a component that is difficult. You may constantly feel like no matter what you do it’s never enough, but going the extra mile, even if you can’t see why, will pay off in the end.
If your original North Node is in 25 degrees Scorpio- 5 degrees Sagittarius…
You might not even notice the change your Draconic chart presents because it flows more or less smoothly. All your Draconic planets will form a trine to your counterpart natal ones, so getting the two to go together isn’t difficult. It can, however, sometimes make you not realize how much you could use that energy to move forward since there really isn’t an impetus to do so.
If your original North Node is in 25 degrees Sagittarius - 5 degrees Capricorn…
Your Draconic chart is going to have a bit of a bone to pick with the new natal chart it’s being forced into. All of your Draconic planets will square your counterpart natal planets, and a major life lesson will be learning that what makes you you is not entirely decided by you when it comes to life on Earth. You may feel a constant pressure to become what you’re expected to be rather than what you feel you are, which can hurt your self-esteem. However, it enables you to claim more than one type of identity, resulting in a remarkably strong sense of self after the initial shock.
If your original North Node is in 10-14 degrees Capricorn…
Your Draconic chart will likely feel quite at home in your natal chart, although it might not feel like a typical fit. All of your Draconic planets will quintile your counterpart natal planets and a major life lesson will be finding creative ways to make your true self shine through this strange natal costume you’re wearing. You may even find qualities not typical of your Natal chart popping in from time to time from your Draconic since it’s almost impossible for those energies to keep from making themselves known.
If your original North Node is in 25 degrees Capricorn-5 Degrees Aquarius…
Your Draconic chart is learning how to take a pretty natural but alternate form and will have to put in a bit of effort to get themselves working properly. All of your Draconic planets will sextile your counterpart natal planets and a major life lesson will be learning how you can shape yourself to fit a new brain (a human brain, rather than an angelic brain) if you care enough to do so. This is an aspect that allows the you to learn how to adjust to earth-life in a way that provides you the satisfaction of overcoming an obstacle without making the transition traumatic. This placement shows a lifetime where it takes constant vigilance to maintain your new earthbound identity, but your ability to succeed in doing so makes the effort worth it.
If your original North Node is in 13-17 degrees Aquarius…
Your Draconic chart is likely finding a hard time balancing what it wants to be with what it needs to be to survive life on Earth which can result in life seeming pointless. All of your Draconic planets will form semi-squares to your counterpart natal ones and a major lesson will be learning how mental limitations and needing to experience thoughts slowly rather than at supernatural speeds can all stifle the desire to live at all but how those limitations also force that natural expression to find ways to express itself that it never thought were possible. This is an aspect that forces you to learn the value of life and you’ll tend to experience both the good and the bad deep forms. This placement shows a lifetime where the raw willpower needed to survive on Earth can be developed for future lives.
If your original North Node is in 25 degrees Aquarius - 5 degrees Pisces…
Your Draconic chart is looking to take the first step to evolving into something new. All of your draconic planets will form semi-sextiles to your counterpart natal ones and a major lesson will be learning limitations that having a moment-by-moment emotions rather than infinite emotions like your higher self does has on what you would otherwise be. As a result, you’ll likely feel like you’re constantly trying to figure out what the previous step is to get what you want or how to think back and remember for what you want to do. This aspect makes you feel as if you are constantly trying to recall up to a seemingly infinite number of steps, which is enough to make many people with this placement question their sanity. It also, however, provides nearly limitless experiences and a constant motion to your life.
