On 2 June 2023, Jupiter will perfect a conjunction with Caput Draconis, the North Lunar Node. Generally speaking, this is a very beneficial aspect between the Greater Benefic Jupiter, and the Dragon’s Head. (The North Lunar Node is one of the two points where the Moon’s orbital path crosses the ecliptic).
This conjunction will not re-occur until November 2030. The fact that Jupiter and the North Lunar Node are currently in Taurus, which is ruled by Venus, also known the Lesser Benefic, makes this conjunction particularly beneficial. Generally speaking, we can expect incentives and opportunities for mundane, as well as spiritual growth.
Traditionally, astrologers have long been aware of the positive influence of Caput Draconis and also this conjunction. The 10th Century astrologer al-Qabisi (since medieval times also known by his latinised name of Alchabitius) wrote in his Introduction to Astrology:
“… The Head of the Dragon is male, and it is likewise a fortune and its nature is composed of the nature of Jupiter and Venus. And this signifies a kingdom and fortune and assets. And certain people said that its nature is increased: that if it were with fortunes, it increases their fortune …” (Dykes, Introduction to Traditional Astrology, p267)
This being a very beneficial mundane aspect, we can assume that the quality of the days ahead and after the conjunction will be positive. On a personal level, people with their Ascendant, midheaven, or natal planets tightly aspecting this conjunction can expect significant personal growth, success, or other potential benefits, according to the conjunction’s natal house placement.
Famous people with Jupiter conjunct Caput Draconis are Christopher Lee, Sharon Stone, Kate Bush, and Madonna (pictured below).
