Astrology: Dragons throughout the ages - Dragons importance in Astrology.

Sir Isaac Newton wrote "for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction". We are what we think, having become what we thought. This statement emphasizes that for every thought or action, there will be an effect. This is what I call the "Universal Law", the cause and effect of the yin and yang recognized and accepted as the LAW OF KARMA. Modern Astrology classifies the Dragon's Head and Tail as the South and North Nodes of the Moon. To my knowledge, the Moon is, just by herself, quite responsible for the daily fate of the world and directly affects the weather and nature's forces at work.

Obviously, the waxing and waning periods of our closest satellite will produce the daily process of the tides. The lunar cycle is 28 and half days, which is the same as a woman's cycle. Thus, women will have a physical and spiritual response as we all will be responding subconsciously to the word, "LUNATIC". The scientific community is only aware of tremendous activity in the time of a Full Moon, but they still have no clue as to the tremendous information behind it.

The police force and the hospital emergency rooms are also unusually busy at these times. The Moon's subtle power is not yet understood by the scientific community but is wisely used by the aware farmer. However, many years of tedious observation have shown me that she is undeniably affecting the human psyche and our response to life. Without opposing forces at work (positive/negative), there would be no reaction, thus, no life possible on both the spiritual and physical planes. Our so-called "dead" satellite is very much alive, and vigilantly observing her whereabouts will make man grow steadfastly into a genius in predictive astrology.

The Dragon's Head

The North Node of the Moon is a positive energy, a form of "wheel of fortune", pushing the soul toward a new self-realization and sure happiness. Chinese astrologers refer to the Moon's Nodes as the Dragon's Head and Tail and give it tremendous attention as to the placement in the natal chart. Sadly, practical modern astrologers tend to ignore its very existence and in the process, lose a wealth of valuable information. To my knowledge, the Dragon, in itself, holds as much, if not more, facts and power than the entire complexity of a whole astrological chart!

I found the essence of the Dragon's secrets to be a major contribution for success or failure in one's life. Many famous people and the ones that have made history, for good or for worse, have an obvious relationship with it.

The Dragon's Tail

The South Node of the Moon is a negative energy that is a form of "karmic residue", dragging the soul toward his past accomplishments, inner fears, and weaknesses. This build-up of previous incarnations must be eliminated, and a chance is given to you by the "Great Designer" to experience something other than fear and dogmatic views. As a rule, we are all naturally attracted by the Dragon's Tail. This is similar to a child wanting to stay home instead of going to his new school, facing the cold weather, others and refusing to progress with the rest of his class. There, at home, (Tail), the soul feels secure and confident with what he knows best. In my research, I have noticed that following the Dragon's Tail's commands can only lead its owner toward failure, pain, drama, and indeed, may lead to death. In some extreme cases, the Dragon's Tail causes the soul to lead other people into its own dark past life residue, (David Koresh), thereby hurting the innocent, trusting souls who follow them. Sometimes, for specific karmic reasons, the Dragon's Tail can be used positively, thus having produced gifted musicians such as Bach and Schubert, born with the Dragon's Tail in Libra.

Here, the soul's past life musical work comes to fruition for others to enjoy or learn from. God has allowed these "geniuses" to use their previous life's work for the benefit of mankind, and they were able to accomplish wonders at an early age. The location of the Dragon's Tail is where all of your weaknesses will be coming from. You have been there. You have done that. You have learned those lessons. God will not help you there and if not aware of the Dragon's Head which is promising opportunities, you will end up striving either for financial or emotional security.

Sometimes, unexpected experiences such as an accident or the use of chemicals (drugs/alcohol/medication) will cause the soul to be drawn back into his past life residue. The occurrence is somehow shocking, vivid and very believable. Thus, the soul mistakenly "receives messages from a higher level" based on his past life residues and firmly believes it. The purification and progress of the soul can only be found on the "next" experiences promised by the location of his Dragon's Head by house and sign of the zodiac. Armed with such a powerful knowledge, one is able to detect fiction from reality and make a difference between divine information and pure imagination.

The awareness of someone's Dragon's Head and Tail is a real contribution to detect the plain truth about the dynamics involving the working of the psyche. This work was not done to diminish anyone's integrity but to clarify their astral relationship with God and the Universe. We all are children of this magnificent galaxy, and there is a reason for every one of us to be.

Dragons Through the Ages

There have been many depictions of dragons in all kinds of folklore, mythology, and fiction. They have been depicted with wings or without, with scales or leathery skin, with legs and without. Sometimes they seem to be a horrible evil that must be wiped from the face of the earth, at other times they are mankind’s protector and savior and, even more bizarre, they have been portrayed as whimsical, bumbling cartoon characters. But no matter what the situation is with dragons, they are suffused with power. This may be why we are alternately drawn to and repelled by them. Man is well known for trying to destroy all that he fears and does not understand; dragons certainly fall squarely into this category. That may be why the famed label “Here Be Dragons” was marked in the territories not yet explored on old maps. But on the other hand, we don’t want anybody to go anywhere we haven’t yet had the courage to go lest they may claim for their own a land better than ours.

As I suffused myself with the study of The Dragon, I began to understand this mythical creature’s lure and charm as well as the untold power that he holds over our lives.

Wherever your particular Dragon appears is a complication or puzzle that you must solve in order to learn your life’s lesson and achieve true happiness, that elusive little thing hidden deep inside containing all of life’s mysteries. Throughout the coming chapter I will endeavor to teach you what Dragon protects you and how you can harness his or her energy to lift you to the pinnacle of success no matter what path you have chosen to walk!!

The two different categories of Dragon are winged and wingless or male and female. The wingless Dragon is yang dragon with Martian energy or more male energy. These Dragons will give you great courage and will protect you mightily from all dangerous activity. They are the true pioneers of spirit, unafraid of anything physical, gifted with tremendous energy. However, there is always a down side to the up and we must look at both. These Dragons tend to be the “Fire-Breathing” type, full of aggression and impatience. Ready to charge into battle without all the facts leaving scars on their victims as they bluster by with barely an apology. Since such a leadership quality exists, so does a “me-first” attitude. Sharing and compromise must be learned. A leavening needs to take place in these lives so that they may reach their higher purpose.

Don’t dream, if you were gifted with all this extra power that you don’t have a big work to do while you enjoy the fruits of the earth! When you train your Dragon, the understanding and rewards of Love will be yours.

The winged Dragon is a yin dragon with Venusian energy or more female energy. These Dragons will give you great ability at diplomatic relations as well as with the arts themselves and protect you fiercely from spiritual pain. Business acumen and intuition belong to you. Style, design, luxury and comfort are ingrained in your DNA. Your physical energy may not be great, but your endurance is. Serenity is your hallmark. Once again, there is a dark side to every bright, so let’s take a look. These Dragons tend to be lax and lazy in their approach to life; they are quite talented, but do not appreciate their gifts. There are always power and control problems with these dragons who may train a beautiful eye upon you; their ability to wheedle is extreme, so that many times they get others to do their work for them, using beauty or sex as a trade-off. There is too much leavening here and that needs to be brought back down to earth. No daydreaming, just hard work and facing reality if you really want to reap the rewards. If you want the dragon of depression off your back, you had better get up off the couch and start using the talent that you were given, or that load that you carry will just keep getting heavier. I know that it seems as if you have the harder lessons, but you also have the greater rewards!! When you train your Dragon, the understanding and attainment of security will be yours.

For this next part you must refer to the charts of the Dragon using your birth date to find out which particular Dragon’s power you can harness as well as their metals and colors.
