Draconic Charts and Planetary Zodiacs

Draconic charts are calculated based on the assumption that Zodiac starts from the position of the North Lunar Node (Caput Draconis) instead of 0 Aries.

Draconic and Planetary Zodiac Charts

In addition to Rahu (Lunar North Node) AstroApp also gives you ability to use any planet as a starting point of reference.


Draconic Chart is a derived chart, so in order to calculate it you will need to cast the base chart first.
