I have stumbled, no across Dracul`s chart, but about the chart of the first public reading of Bram Stoker`s "Dracula".
In my opinion with Stoker the myth of vampires took a totally different direction, and subsequently it became part of our pop-culture and even a "magnet" for some girls and women, apparently being a good screen to project unspoken desires and erotic fantasies on. It started that way in the victorian age and it still is in effect.
So here is the chart. Anyone want to try interprete it in terms of the "appeal" this theme has for many people (otherwise the films and books wouldn´t sell as superbly as they do)?
 
asteroids I couldn`t include anymore:
PARVATI: 16°49 Taurus
BML: 17°33 Taurus r HEKATE: 10°05 Gemini
ANUBIS: 15°23 Gemini HORUS: 09°51 Cancer
ANGEL: 14°30 Cancer
LUCIFER:22°33 Cancer
ISHTAR: 23°31 Cancer
OSIRIS: 26°04 Cancer ISIS: 23°37 Leo RUDRA: 02°48 Virgo
AURA: 07°41 Virgo
LILITH: 19°52 Virgo KAMA: 20°18 Libra r
DNA: 21°26 Libra r INANNA: 17°07 Scorpio r
SIVA: 26°50 Scorpio r SPHINX: 12°11 Sagittarius r
ATLANTIS: 20°30 Sagittarius r LUST: 18°13 Capricorn r
SIRENE: 26°22 Capricorn NESSUS: 09°17 Pisces IP: Logged |

Great post, DD.  First thing that I noticed is that the 3rd house ruler is Venus...conjunct the MC and trining the Moon, Psyche, Karma, and Jupiter! Wow...it really does seem to reflect how it would be perceived romantically. The sun in Taurus, ruler Venus conjunct Merc and Eros to boot! 8th IP: Logged |

ok, i'll reply just for fun  for the topic itself:
leo asc - easily noticed
moon h5 - emotions strongly affected by romance/creativity (like moon in leo) in a grand trine with..
venus mc - pretty obvious in taurus so it's dignified, another affiliation with the arts.
and also.. jupiter h1. tends to bring luck.
tight square, less than 1 deg venus and mars-
mars h12 - obviously fantasies and also problems with asserting masculine drive, very interwoven with poetics etc. dracula is not superman, he's hidden and operates behind the scenes whisking away in the night. tight trine to saturn so there are boundaries that he has to work within, the night, limits to his powers, the daylight, special sleeping conditions etc. saturn is opposed sun and merc, and there always seems to be restrictions in his speech, always is very careful in choosing his words. the writings and their continuous re-interpretations/re-tellings:
-elevated pluto conj neptune in gemini opposed moon in sagittarius, h5, pluto conj neptune is strong in tapping into the subconscious, the collective unconscious actually in gemini it's able to craft very skillfully the written word and pluto in h10 has a lot of power.
-mercury in gemini, conj sun (also chart ruler), h10, opposed uranus adds eccentricity, the retellings can never really get too far out, in a sense they have no limits.
-mc and venus located h9, taurus mc so mc ruler is conj mc.
-jupiter h1
actually a lot of mercury/jupiter connections in the chart related to career and to love.
-the jupiter square to mercury goes over the top and adds to the larger than life myth, the exaggeration

Thank you for the interpretations, they make much sense.I noticed something, too. This chart seems a perfect reflection of Freudian Symbolism. The conflict between EROS: life / sex (Sun conjunct Eros in Taurus) and THANATOS: Death (Saturn, Uranus AND Siva in Scorpio exactly opposing this). I also wasn`t surprised to find an aspect between Pluto and Proserpina, as the vampire myth is similiar to the myth, too: after all it is about an abduction into the underworld, too, with a total transformation.
I was surprise, though, to find, it was a harmonious, even though absolute precise trine.
Another configuratiuon that seems to make a lot of sense is:
1) Pluto / HEkate opposing Aphrodite / Sphinx: the dark magical and mysterious attraction
2) A T-square bewteen Venus, Mars and Valentine.
Valentine seems weakened here, so true love is challenged by a too strong (maybe even destructive) passion?
