If the tropical is where we are headed in this life or supposed to end up. Then should we look to the draconic to show us how to get where we are headed when we compare the two?

Basically the draconic is who we are but the tropical is who we are to become.

this is how knowflake heart--shaped cross explained it to me a few weeks ago. it really helped me a lot - see if it helps you too.

"Once upon a time..... there were three zodiacs: the Sidereal, the Tropical, and the Draconic. The Sidereal zodiac takes into account the precession of the equinoxes and is the zodiac used by astronomers. The Tropical is based on the traditional positions of the demarcations of the zodiac and is primarily used by astrologers. The Draconic Zodiac, used by some astrologers searching for hidden spiritual truths, is a symbolic zodiac rather than real . Rumors abound, however, that the Draconic Zodiac is the oldest of them all.
"It is said that life lessons which surface when comparing the Draconic to the Tropical chart will always manifest in the charts of those with whom we form close relationships. Transits and progressions to the Draconic chart may manifest as major events which alter the course of our lives."

Compare the Tropical chart to the Draconic to examine the theme of the life search for actualization. If the Tropical planetary positions of another persons chart coincides with a Draconic placement in your chart, this person will in some way teach or challenge you to use the abilities of your Draconic planet in a way that sows seeds for future flowering. The same may be said for transits and progressions to those Draconic degrees. Aspects between charts retain their basic interpretations."

I don`t think the Sun for example shows what we are supposed to become. We already are our Sun, Moon, etc.

But there are certain things in our soul or personality that will become the focus in our lives, and maybe the Draconics show exactly that.

For example:
My Draco Moon conjuncts my tropical DSC exactly.

Maybe my Draco Moon is telling me: "Look closely to your DSC, what do you need, really? Find out what it is you are seeking and needing, and I, your inner emotional needs, will be satisfied, too."

Thank you, that helps so much
Remember the post of celeb synastry and how I said I had a deep connection to Johnny Depp well in the draconic for me.
I found that My osiri sits directly on his sun (tropical)conjunct my draco amor, and draco mars and my tropical Aeternitas direct trine my tropical mars and amor.
My lesson was that of unconditional love. That makes sense and there are also other aspects as well but this makes more sense to me.
