Cauda Draconis
Cauda Draconis (Tail of the Dragon) — Fire, Air, and Water are active. It stands for an end, an exit, and completion.
Structure of the figure
Latin name: Cauda Draconis. Traditional ruler: the South Node.
| Line | Points | Element of the line |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | one | Fire |
| 2 | one | Air |
| 3 | one | Water |
| 4 | two | Earth |
Active (single-point) lines: 3 of 4. The more there are, the more mobile the figure: a single point means an active element, a double point a resting one.
Meaning
An unfavorable figure in questions about continuing: it means the matter is coming to an end. Tradition links it to the Moon's South Node and counts it, along with Rubeus, among the most destructive figures.
The positive reading applies where an ending is needed: finishing a difficult matter, getting out of a situation, release. To the question “should I start,” the answer is no.
In questions about love and money
In love — a breakup, an ending, someone leaving. In money — closing a business, a loss, a final expense. Timing — the end comes soon.
