Draconic
There is a resurgence of this technique for astrologers who are interested in
soul-centered delineation. Popularized by English astrologer Pamela Crane, the Draconic
zodiac has its beginning at the moon's north node. This node (the ascending node) becomes
the zero point or "draconic equinox." The north node is sometimes called the
dragon's head (derived from the Latin draco, meaning serpent or dragon, hence the term
draconic.) Win*Star allows the draconic chart to be calculated from whichever node the
natal chart has -- either true or mean. Pamela Crane uses the true node.
