My draconic sun on his south node.

I wonder if node-to-draconic synastry is binding?

I have a Scorpio NN.
My husband's draconic ASC is almost exactly conjunct my NN.
His draconic Pluto is conjunct my sun.
His draconic moon squares my nodes almost exactly, and is tightly conjunct my draconic Pluto.

Good luck!

Just trying to lay out my experiences and see if there was that node-draconic connection.

In my experience it can take a while to get draconic going...like the draconic doesn't automatically spark with the tropical the way two tropical charts will connect and generate an obvious energy.

Draconic is a destiny-related chart, and it either hovers over the tropical getting you a strange sense that something is there that you can't pinpoint, so you part ways with the person...or it fuses itself to the tropical over time...and you find it very very hard to part ways.

Anyway...

To answer your question...

My draconic "school" is just playing with charts.

You've probably seen this article already, it's the best one I know of:

I have to do a shout out to the Vertex axis in synastry terms of making people unforgettable... If somebody conjuncts your Vertex or Antivertex they tend to leave a lasting impression on you. It has a haunting quality. Something about their image/vibe (probably related to the conjuncting planet) is very memorable. Conjunctions to the Vertex and Antivertex rulers may create the same effect.

Actually, I've noticed that any aspect in synastry where the other person aspects your Vertex axis tends to make them stand out. Squares, trines, sextiles, and even semi-squares. Conjunctions just happen to be the most obvious aspects. Also, whether the person stand out to you for a good reason, or a bad reason, depends on the rest of the synastry. Activity with the Vertex Axis in synastry shows that there will be a big impact for the Vertex Axis person (connection has fated 'electric' feel). The rest of the story (happy or sad) has more to do with what else is in the individual synastry.

Yes! And combine this with the Nodes. Nodal contacts are ties that bind and so mostly are not forgettable.

I have awesome synastry with one person who's Vertex is conjunct my Sun and my Vertex is conjunct is North Node. The ruler of my Vertex is conjunct his Moon. HAUNTING is the right word in my experience as well!! In a good way if you want to really see the possibilities.

I feel ya,

Vertex/Node for instance is quite compelling. The nodes of the Moon seem to tug at something deep inside us. The South Node seems to dredge up spooky familiar vibes, and with the North Node it's like we recognize something about the other person that we must assimilate.

This is my take on the Nodes (especially synastry wise)...

In the western the tradition the North Node is supposed to by like Jupiter because it shows where we need to learn and grow. In the Vedic tradition the North Node is like Saturn because sometimes learning those lessons takes hard work, and is a challenge.

In the western traditon it's the South Node that's supposed to by like Saturn, because the South Node is associated with the past and dwelling on that too much holds us back (restriction). In Vedic traditon the South Node is supposed to by like Mars because it shows the lessons we've already learned, and what we naturally are good at (so much so that we can take this for granted)... We are like an accomplished warrior at the South Node, and a kid still in training at the North Node.

A person with a planet at our South Node can often recognize the natural talents and abilities we have which we take for granted, they fit in with our natural flow and habit patterns. They remind us to appreciate what we can already do. A person with a planet on the North Node reminds us, conversely, how very much we still have to learn... And deep down we know that's the direction we need to go in order to develop more fully as a person .

I also remember reading that in Vedic astrology the South Node is more metaphysical and reclusive (kind of like the 12th house), while the North Node is about getting out there in the world in accomplishing things (kind of like the 10th/11th houses).

I second this.
In all significant connections I've had that have left me changed for good (3 in total, including my current boyfriend), the Draco charts were strongly activated on both sides.

The impact is deep and soul-penetrating and you are never the same again. There's a very destined, obsessive feel to the north node also, like there's no getting away from it and it pulls you back in each time you try and let go.

In Vedic astrology, the North Node is known as a snakes head without the body. It consumes and consumes but is never satisfied, because that is the soul's lesson. It's what's new to you and what you're here to be obsessive about in order for your soul to grow.
So it would make sense that conjunctions and squares in the Draconic synastry would leave such an impact on people.

I'm loving this whole conversation, about the nodes.

In my case, the south node feels warm and pleasantly grounded, and the north node feels on-edge and scary, but more vibrantly alive. SN Taurus, NN Scorpio.

Planets conjunct my SN make me want to hug them or just luxuriate there.

Planets conjunct my NN may feel like a battery pack plugged into my psychic apparatus. Not only are we talking about spiritual topics, but the rapport is intuitive both ways, and in a few cases, engaging with them brought on paranormal experiences. (My NN is conjunct Kaali, so that could be a factor.) It always ends up leaving me on edge somehow...wanting to go deeper and deeper into mysteries. There is no resolution...it IS insatiable, yes.

Maybe because I am trying to find the south node again through the north node...the dragon eating its tail.

I want to get to a point where I am comfortable in the spiritual dimension. I read a lot of books about Near Death Experiences because they show what I'm looking for: the cycle of living a relatively comfortable life (Taurus), then death (Scorpio), then some kind of heaven (Taurus again.)

My husband's Vertex is conjunct my NN.
