I just started getting into draconic charts and I was wondering if reading two draconics together via synastry or doing a composite of the two draconics would be more accurate than using the natals? Or can you use one person's natal and one person's draconic?

I would use the one that seems to resonate the most.

I for instance,would use the draconic. As I have found it so painfully accurate in its depth analysis of character.

But to start off, a Gemini is a Gemini with its talkative ways So look at the natal but use the draconic to "add" on to the natal.

All charts should be used to supplement each other and not be "competing" because they often tell the story from a different angle.

There are usually conjunctions between married couples or planets in same signs.

My mother has draconic Sun and Mercury in Gemini. She married my Dad who has draconic Moon in Gemini(conjunct her dr Sun) and Sun in Capricorn(sextile her dr Moon close to exact).

My Dad's dr Uranus is opposite my Mom's dr Venus and conjunct her dr Mars.

I find the draconic cross-aspects so telling really.Especially when they feature on the dr angles.

they are both accurate, however they have a different meaning.

It`s not like you can use Draco as a substitute for tropical, if you donīt like the tropical.

Tropical chart is the Here and now, what happens in this dimension, now (though progressions have something to say about that too), what manifests in real life terms.


Draco is a nodal chart, hence highlighting in which direction you move, what you grow into and what you grow from.

But I agree that Dracos are very illuminating and sometimes intensely resonating, especially on a deeper level where you feel the meaning and purpose of things.

Sometimes I think the draconic is even MORE an expression of what manifests in real life, than the tropical. Or I guess we could say, it manifests eventually...is destined for manifestation, rather than immediate? Which is why we see it so much in families?

For instance, my mother and her father: their suns don't aspect each other. But both have their draconic suns at 22 Capricorn. She was not part of his reality at first, when he was born....but she was a part of his destiny.

My mother's draconic Cap sun exactly quincunx her draconic Gemini Mars, and she was probably a draconic Pisces moon.

All my placements: Cap sun exactly quincunx Gem Mars; Pisces moon.

I'm the sixth child and her last, there were question marks about whether or not she could conceive me, and if I would survive my traumatic birth, but apparently...I was part of her destiny, and became real.

Actually I think Draconic is WHAT manifests THROUGH the tropical.

It`s like you see the tropical manifestation with the Draconic shining through.

For example my emotions as the Draconic Moon manifest through encounters and relationships in the tropical DESC.

Whatever steps through my DESC-gate, sort of touches my deeper feelings as well; since my tropical DESC And Draco Moon are just about 5 minutes apart, I can`t get one without the other.


But yes I can also see your reasoning, makes sense.

So if it eventually manifests, does my Vertex on his Pluto mean he's destined to come back into my life to transform it? I've also read Pluto conjunct Vertex in Draco synastry is powerful sexual connection... or someone killing you

Yes this one.

We can't compare two draconic charts unless they have the same natal North Node.

if a person's planet hits a draconic degree for us, we will feel a deep connection to them. If nothing in our natal triggers their draconic, they feel no connection.

WE surely can compare two draconic charts with each other; why would we not? Because they don`t have the same starting point - some would argue.
But I disagree with this thinking. It`s partly the beauty of that overlay or interconnection, the fusion of different lifepaths, and yet they do have a meeting point.

It actually reflects human life, we rarely have the same starting point or exact same path either, yet we often meet and add to each other`s path.
Of course that is philosophical thinking, I am aware of it.

Still, Draco-Draco is perfectly valid.

It does seem to be. And I like when you get philosophical very helpful!

I know of at least one pro astrologer who will say it isn't valid, draco-draco, that it isn't grounded enough and barely worth considering-- as though that's an absolute fact, and then it gets repeated... In some cases it's good astrological practise to take information passed on from other experienced practitioners at face value, but because draconic research is still fairly early in it's development, and there is not a super long lineage tradition type thing, there is more of a risk in taking draconic related dictums as gospel without checking for yourself.

Then again, it's all so subjective! Still, the research I've seen regarding the frequency and reliability with which draconic angles are activated by draconic planets in the synastry of life partners has been pretty convincing, for one thing. And my personal experience corroborates it's importance.

But every draconic nn is at 0 degrees Aries aka "the Aries Point" regardless of what their natal chart nn is.

What do you think about comparing someone's draconic to their partner's natal and vis versa? Do you think that's valid or ONLY draco to draco and natal to natal in synastry?

Who knows? But from the way you speak of him, whoever he is, it sounds like he's already transformed it.

You're right. I was thinking maybe his Pluto on my Vertex in our dracos has manifested by the way I've been obsessing over him for six months >.<

Oh natal to draco is also valid, absolutely. There are many threads where this has been discussed in depth... if I find a moment I'll link you to them, but some are quite recent..

I didn't look closely enough before but now I am finding a lot of cool things going on Draco to Draco for us.

Does anyone know what my Draco IC conjunct soulmate's Draco sun/Venus/ceres means??

My draco IC is conjunct my s.o.'s draco Venus-Chiron-POF.

I can tell you that loving him feels very deeply right for me, especially given the resonance of my natal north node being in my 4th house.

It definitely seems to smack of "soul family" vibes... that we really have a sense of belonging on that deep level.

And for you I imagine with the Sun also there he really lights up your inner life, your deeply felt sense of who you really are, how you are when nobody else is looking... you feel comfortable with him.after hours, when all pretenses are dropped and you can really be yourself...

P.S. EmGem... incidentally... i had a really long astrological dream a few nights ago and you were highlighted as being an important key to understanding for me... specifically White Moon Selena/Selene (h56 on astro.com,). I've been researching her, and asteroids Selene and Endymion... fitting that this should have come in a dream... heh... but I wonder if you would do me the kind favour of looking up your synastry/composite, progressed composite and natal even, whatever you feel inspired to do, and draconics, and note aspects to the white moon especially... I've been meaning to make a thread but haven't yet...

opposite my eros/sun/mercury within 2d
conjunct my neptune 3d

SYNASTRY
My selene contraparallel his moon,
opposite his venus/mercury 4d. It's on the mp.
sextile his uranus 1d
trine his NN 0d
trine his chiron 1d
opposite his ceres 0d
square his psyche 4d
inconjunct his AC 0d
sextile his MC 0d

His Selene
semisextile my sun
squares my saturn 4d
trines my ceres 0d
sextiles my valentine 2d

COMPOSITE
sextile venus 0d
trine uranus 3d
inconjunct ceres 0d
squares juno 4d

PROGRESSED COMPOSITE
contraparallel moon
parallel mars
contraparallel juno
square moon 2d app
conjinct mars 2d app
semisquare jupiter 1d app
trine NN 2d sep
square juno 1d sep

Hope this helps!

Let me know if you'd like me to post charts

Yun,

I may even come agree a little with DAwn saying that on its own Draco-Draco may not be grounded enough (I am not certain about that yet), but that`s something different than saying we are not allowed to compare those.
Personally I find Draco-Draco very very strong, but in each instance I can think of there was an outlet through the tropical, too (including exact squares).

BTW I am thinking more and more we should keep at least an eye on those close orbed squares. After all Draco is a nodal chart, and we do actually not really deal with a single position but with an axis, and the squares are right at the fusion point of the SOUTH and NORTH nodal link.

Yeah, the tropical outlet is important.

Are you saying that squares to points in the tropical chart from the draconic are important because of the resonance with a nodal square, or that squares between all four types of charts could be important?

I hypothize, squares between all types of charts could be important. Maybe mostly from Draco to tropical.


Also I was wondering about something in P`s and my Draco synastry, as we have that HUGE Draco-Draco-interconnection, but it is really tied to only his tropical planets, namely his tropical Venus-Juno-opposition, while I don`t have tropical planets nearby.

Just musing about what that means for the experience of this for each of us...

I am guessing it probably ties into your tropical midpoints in significant ways though, which you would feel..?

Yes, his Venus is conjunct a few midpoints in my chart (see I don`t even mention the square ). It`s just very obviously aiming at some midpoints.

Jupiter/Neptune 0°21
Jupiter/node 0°14
Uranus/Chiron 0°14
Mars/Juno 0°09
Moon/Venus 0°40


I wonder would we feel that strongly? If a Draco planet was actvating tropical midpoints?

BTW interestingly my tropical Chiron falls right onto my Draco Sun/Venus-mp

I think it might very well be felt, yes, both ways... draco midpoints to tropical, and tropical midpoints to draco.

Chiron =Sun/Venus seems to make some sense, after all? That intense emotional wisdom and rawness when scrutinizing or experiencing indulgent love...?

Bumping an old thread to add my grain of salt.

The synastries I made using Draco-Draco charts resonate A LOT.

More than usual synastry-overlay method, SO MUCH MORE than composites using midpoints, a HELL OF A LOT more than Davison's.

Maybe because it shows soul to soul interactions, without the superfluity of mundane?
