Sky and Telescope tells us that the FM of November 27, 2023 that...

"Moonrise tonight is special. That's because the Moon is just about as far north on the celestial sphere as you can ever possibly see it.

Why is this? First, the Moon is at the northernmost part of the ecliptic (which is at the Gemini-Taurus border); the ecliptic is inclined 23.4° with respect to the celestial equator.

Second, this evening the Moon stands 4.3° north of the ecliptic itself. That's less than 1° from the Moon's greatest possible ecliptic divergence; its orbit is inclined to the ecliptic by 5.14°.

That farthest-north side of the Moon's orbit precesses westward around the entire ecliptic with a period of 18.6 years (the "precession of the lunar nodes"). Tonight everything lines up; this year the north edges of both tilts nearly coincide, and tonight that is where the bright almost-full Moon stands.

So as twilight fades, note carefully where the Moon comes up over your horizon. You've probably never seen it rise that far north over your landscape and you might never again, at least when it's this close to full."

I have drawn a Draconic Chart where the North Node is at the Aries Point
Maria Blaquier explains here the Draconic Chart
https://www.astro.com/astrology/aa_article210601_e.htm

She says that 'the draconic zodiac responds to lunar symbolism and therefore expresses unconscious motivations that affect our daily life¹. Instead of representing psychological traits, it displays those recurrent emotional responses and inner impulses that we feel are beyond our control, which have to do with hereditary issues or early childhood experiences.'
'Special attention should be payed to conjunctions and oppositions between tropical and draconic planets (using an orb of 5°). These links make available more subliminal aspects of our personality which come up by means of the conscious traits represented by the tropical planets and angles. To help make a clear distinction between the functioning of both charts, Argentinian astrologer Néstor Echarte recommends interpreting the draconic houses and planets as if they were conjunct the Moon.'

hi ouranos

looks like you are using the sidereal zodiac, which you don't ordinarily do! also - true nodes, but i don't have the true nodes at exact 0 aries just yet..

James,
I used Mean Node not labeled on the chart.
In a draconic chart, you move the NN to the Aries Point and all the planets with the same distance.
It looks like a sidereal chart but the measurement is taken from tropical.

Cheers!

thanks ouranos

why it is interesting here, is in fact the nodal axis is presently close to 0 aries in sidereal... maybe you are talking about this because you have just tripped onto the concept of the draconic chart, but regardless - what do you get from it?? yes - the nodal axis is directly connected to the moon, so the idea that it would connect to lunar symbolism is indeed a no brainer, lol.. but what do you get from it here? that is what i am now curious about.. thanks..

I will refer you to what Maria Blaquier says in the article link

'She says that 'the draconic zodiac responds to lunar symbolism and therefore expresses unconscious motivations that affect our daily life¹.

I can't talk of my own experience here because this chart does not connect to my natal chart by conjunction or opposition. But maybe others can.
