Draconic Astrology: tearing through the surface, crossing the threshold, and how to read the charts of twins…

Beneath your natal chart lies another sky.

The draconic zodiac begins at the Moon's North Node and reveals the chart beneath the chart: the memories, inheritances, and unconscious motivations that pulse under the surface of the tropical sky. While the tropical chart shows how we express ourselves in the world, the draconic chart, also known as "the chart of the soul," reveals the underground currents of our psyche.

This book grows out of a long personal journey along the paths of draconic astrology, a fascinating and relatively young branch of astrology that opens access to deeper dimensions of our being. The road to its development began in 1956 with Maurice Froger and his Nodal Horoscope, followed by the foundational contributions of Ronald Davison, Dennis Elwell, and Pamela Crane, the pioneers who laid the groundwork for this transformative discipline.

In this first English edition, María Blaquier walks you from the astronomy of the lunar nodes to the practice of reading draconic charts against the natal sky:
- The lunar nodes in traditional and modern astrology, and their role in mundane events
- How to calculate the draconic chart, with software or by hand
- The twelve draconic houses in relation to the tropical chart
- Draconic synastry: the unconscious motivations at play in our closest bonds
- Transits in draconic astrology and the speed of the draconic planets
- Draconic astrology in world events, illustrated with dozens of charts of public figures
- Her boldest contribution: a draconic answer to one of astrology's oldest riddles, how to tell apart the charts of twins born minutes or even seconds apart

The aim is to complement our understanding rather than replace one system with another: just as we exist on multiple levels, different zodiacs let us reach different layers of our being. Through these pages we discover how draconic astrology can be the key to deciphering the mystery of our deepest motivations and the secret pulse that guides our lives.
