Road to the Soul explores the distant past, the Southern Continent of Gaela before is sank beneath the sea. This was the land that spawned the Draconians of which Quillian, the time-slipping Were-fey, is a distant relation. The story has a rich and complex history that began with a grain of truth: the elements of time folding and destiny are mythologies of the Dragon’s Head and Dragon’s Tail, otherwise known as the Lunar Nodes.
From the North Node is plotted what we call in astrology the Draconic Zodiac, a window into the heart. Not may astrologers use the ‘Draco’ chart but I find it fascinating, and revealing. For example, Today’s Daily reads:
Sun conjuncts Draconic Mars at 5 Capricorn bringing a sense of power and accomplishment to your actions. This is going to instill all kinds of confidence in the eyes of others. The desire to create (artistic or procreative) is tempered with an earthy, practical vibe. Patience, serenity AND brilliance! Have a great day 
Road to the Soul
Like the North Node, the Draconic chart says something about where we are headed, if we chose to reach out, and also like the South Node, it says something about where we have been, what’s comforting, familiar and secure. Some think of the Draco chart as as the “purpose” behind the soul’s intention and link it to a sense of destiny or fate.
I like to think of the Draconic chart as a layer of “soul fabric” that lies underneath the outward personality. You can’t see it unless you look deep. Like the silk lining of a jacket, we never think about it being there and it never fully shows, yet it is a substance that makes the wearing of the coat more comfortable—a better fit—and when the breeze flips up an edge and we get a glimpse of that contrasting color and silky texture, we go “ahhh”.
The Draconic chart is something like that.
For those with planets in early late Sagittarius and early Capricorn, the long stay of Mars through Virgo will be especially interesting as it will be in the Draconic sector of Sag-Cap.
Meanwhile, we are all on the Road to the Soul. Blessing for the journey!
Hi Kim,
I love the way you interweve literary history, mythology and astrology – im really enjoying the blog.
Im new to astro and am learning the ropes. I am trying to work out where Mars is affecting me? I have Mars in natal Gemini in the 2nd house. Or do I look at late sagg early capp where I have Moon and Neptune in the 8th house?
I just did my Draconic Chart and I have a lot of Aqua (also my sth node) and leo (north node)… which is a very interesting inight to me…It feels like my Childhood dreams were very Draconic, however in the last 10 or so years they have played less of a role in my idenetity. Ironically these charcateristics/dreams have been more highlighted/dominant of late…
Thanks for your wisdomxxxx
Hi Gem, glad you are enjoying the blog! Thanks
As for Mars, look first to where you have Virgo in your chart to see what house(s) the lengthy transit is in. (5th?) Sounds like you will have Mars square Mars (prob 3x) between now and July! Then look to where you have late Sagittarius and early Cap (l’ll see if I can post a Draconic ephemeris tonight so we can all track the transit). That will be an added, undercurrent activity in the Cappy area of your chart (with Pluto there, and Sun). I’ll be back with a link/image!
Interesting how you can see childhood themes in the Draco chart. Everyone, I forgot to mention that Astro.com now has an option for the Draconic Chart so you don’t have to work it out by hand
Hi again,
i just saw you did a min-mars consult on this very theme.. Ill send through a request now
xx
Yes, the mini-Mars would answer all this in a jiffy. There’s a wait list right now by I intend to move through it quickly!
Hi Kim,
In my natal I have 5 planet stellium in Libra (sun, pluto, moon,mercury and uranus), in my 11th h except Merc/Ura conj at the beginning of 12th., Scorpio ASC and venus in 1st., and nn is in Cap.
That stellium in Draco chart is in Cap,almost exactly squaring natal stellium (two degrees), and making conjuction (especially Sun/Pluto) to my nn in Cap. Also draco Saturn in Libra conjuncts my natal Sun/Pluto. Also ASC/Venus is now in Aqua.
First time I saw my draco chart I think it was 2009, I remember finding sense in the Cap planets, because I am not a spontaneous person, I feel often blocked, held back.
I actually am not sure if I have a question, but finding draco chart made me undestand why I was most of the time alone, which my tropical never suggest with all those planets in 11th house and in Libra AND their ruler venus in 1st.
I came across Draco chart by chance when in 2009 I met a guy who I was magnetically attracted and in our tropical synastry there were no connections. I felt there must be something, and researched and while googling stumbled on draco chart. When I compared our charts, the attraction was now showing here – he had draco stellium in Libra almost identical to my natal chart.
Since then I always use draco chart when I want to have a deeper insight.
Beautifully put, Ana. It shows us a deeper insight. Your example is perfect.
Thanks for posting.
Even though I still dont make much sense of my draco/natal synastry, except signes they shifted in draco.
Would you know what we should look at doing synastry between draco and natal? Is there most important planet, ruler….
Thanx
Ana, I have a tutorial here –> http://www.falconastrology.com/draconic.html that talks about reading the Draco chart on its own, in synastry with the tropical natal and in synastry with another individual and by transit. Look particularly at the Sun and personal planets and the angles, if the birth time is accurate.
Also both chart rulers can bring new insights. There are examples there!
Does that help?.
Thank you Kim
