When the likely astrological links between two people are not found in the natal, progressed or directed charts, we look further afield. The Draconic chart provides pivotal information regarding the soul's purpose. The Draconic chart in relation to parent and child and between siblings,

>>>當我們從本命盤,推進盤或是推運盤中無法找出能解釋兩人關係的占星線索時,就需要從另一個領域來尋找.龍首圖正是提供了一個與靈魂相關的信息.它涉及與父母,後代以及兄弟姐妹之間的關係.

We have concluded that the Draconic chart can be categorised as karmic, spiritual and unconscious, with possible connections to reincarnation. .... It speaks less of free will than the basic natal chart.

>>>我們將龍首圖歸類為輪迴的,精神的以及下意識的,與來生有著許許聯繫.......相比本命盤,龍首圖中人類的自由意識顯然要少很多......


Pamela uses the True Moon Nodes in preference to the Mean Moon Nodes in her calculations. The difference in the resultant Draconic charts is small, but enough for me to continue to research both. In some cases the Draconic Mean Moon Node chart produces tighter, more relevant aspects.

>>> 帕梅拉在她的研究中更多的使用真實的月交點而不是名義上的.它們兩者的差別很小,但也值得我同時研究這兩種龍首圖.在某些案例中,名義上的月交點能產生更緊密和直接相關的相位....

Links will be found by comparing Natal and Draconic charts, plus Draconic and Draconic. Draconic charts are also quite sensitve to transits, so compare the Draconic chart with transits of important events.

>>>我們能夠鏈接本命盤與龍首圖,龍首圖與龍首圖.龍首圖同樣對過運十分敏感,因此在一些重大事件上,我們可以將龍首圖進行過運...

The Draconic chart may have been overlooked because natal house placements and planetary aspects remain unaltered -- however, the zodiacal degrees can be strikingly different.

>>>龍首圖改變的只是星座,而宮位以及相位並沒有改變.


Solar Fire and Winstar Plus software provide ready calculation of the Draconic chart. For those without this facility, the simplest and most accurate method is to convert all natal cusps and planets into their absolute zodiac positions (0-Aries=0°, 0 Taurus=30°, etc) and add the increment (distance between the natal true moon nodes and 0-degrees Aries) to each position. If answer over 360°, deduct 360°.

EXAMPLE DRACONIC CALCULATIONS
for a natal chart with a Northern Moon Node of 19°38' Scorpio

1. Distance between 19°38' Scorpio (229°38')
and 0° Aries (which is also 360°)

360° 00'
Less 229° 38'
= 130°22' (Increment)

2. Natal Ascendant = 14°14' Pisces = 344°14'
Plus Increment 130°22'
474°36'
Less 360° 360°00'
= DRACONIC ASCENDANT 114°36' (24°36' CANCER)

3. Natal Jupiter = 15°07' Aries = 15°07'
Plus Increment 130°22'
= DRACONIC JUPITER 145°29 (25°29' LEO) etc.

>>>SF和WS都可以畫龍首圖,在沒有軟件的時候,我們也可以進行簡單的計算...
先把本命盤的各個宮頭和星體位置換算為絕對黃道位置,(比如白羊座為0度,金牛座為30度..etc..)然後再加上增值(本命盤的月北交點與白羊座0度的差值),如果數值超過360度就減去360.

例子:本命盤北交點天蠍座19°38'
1.增值 天蠍座19°38'(229°38')與白羊座0° (360°)
360° 00'
-229° 38'
= 130°22'

2. 本命盤上升點= 雙魚座14°14' = 344°14'
+增值 130°22'
474°36'
-360°
= 龍首圖上升點114°36' (巨蟹座24°36' )


3. 本命盤木星 = 白羊座15°07'
+增值130°22'
= 龍首圖木星145°29 (獅子座25°29' ) etc.


There are many more draconic links in this family tree. These few mainly involve the personal points of Natal and Draconic Ascendant, Midheaven, Sun and Moon.

>>>家族關係可以從本命盤和龍首圖的上升,中天,太陽以及月亮表現出來....


THE DRACONIC ASCENDANT
The natal Ascendant describes how others perceive us in a physical sense, the silent message we project through our physical image. THE DRACONIC ASCENDANT is our intuitive identity, certain hereditary factors and the unique qualities we pass on through reproduction and spiritual teaching. For further information consider the decanate of the Draconic Ascendant (eg 28°26' Libra on the Draconic Ascendant is in its 3rd decan, incorporating a Gemini/Mercury influence to the Libran energies).

>>>本命盤的上升點表現的是人的外在感覺,而龍首圖的上升點是我們的直覺上的個性,特定的遺傳基因,以及經過自我探索後形成的獨一無二的性格.....我們可以通過星座區間來獲得更近一步的信息.比如天平座28°26' 在第三區間,它融合了雙子座/水星的力量在其中....

THE DRACONIC MIDHEAVEN
The natal Midheaven depicts our ego expression, career, worldy status, parent figures and mentors. The Draconic Midheaven speaks more of super-consciousness, the soul's divine quest, vocation as distinct from occupation.

>>>本命盤的中天描述了我們的自我表達方式,事業,地位,父母和指導者.龍首圖的中天則表達出了我們的超意識,靈魂的渴求,與職業截然不同的天職.....


Factors such as fixed stars, critical degrees and eclipse degrees can also be applied to draconic charts.

>>>恆星,關鍵度數和蝕度也能應用在龍首圖中....

For Cosmobiologists the planetary structure patterns and midpoint trees of the draconic chart remain the same (with the exception of Moon Nodes involvement). However the patterns of the Draconic chart fall in different sections of the 90-degree dial, providing additional sensitive time frames, especially when compared to the directions, progressions and transits. The individual comparison between natal and draconic structure patterns also interesting.

>>>星體格局圖和中點樹狀圖保持不變(除了跟月交點有關的).然而在90度刻度盤中龍首圖有不同的表現,它提供了額外的一些敏感的期間....尤其是當與推運,推進和過運比較時....
對比本命盤與龍首圖之間的格局很有意思....
