In draconic astrology, the chart is recalculated so that the north node becomes 0° Aries. This means the entire zodiac shifts, and the chart reflects a deeper soul layer rather than the everyday personality shown in your natal chart.
Many astrologers interpret the draconic chart as showing: the soul’s intention or memory, deeper karmic patterns, or the spiritual essence behind the natal personality.
The planets still represent the same archetypes, but their meaning is interpreted at a soul / karmic / spiritual level.
Below is how the planets are usually understood in draconic astrology.
