The first password Harry ever learns for the Gryfindor tower Caput
Draconis. Caput in Latin means a few things. A) head B)man,
person, induvidual, animal B) top, summit, end, orgin, source C) life
Draconis to me seems like an obvious reference to Draco Malfoy. I
did a search for Caupt Draconis, and found an interesting French page
with this as part of the translation:
Caput Draconis, the head of the Dragon, formed east of the succession
2-1-1-1. To the opposed disastrous Cauda Draconis, this is as if all
the energy descended sky to nourish the pitchfork of the top of the
face. Bathed celestial light, a lot of wisdom and of cheerfulness,
Caput Draconis is an excellent presage, a face to the highly positive
meaning. She brings with her the easy and happy realization of the
projects undertake, the generous inspiration and made lose interest
in, a bath light moral. Caput Draconis translates also a natural and
ordered progression, sublimating always towards serenity and the love
of energies calm and of peaces, his presence indicates also as you
will know always to do the good choice.
It has something to do with astrology, and means the Dragon Head. I
found this as well:
· The sun, the moon, and all the planets (seem to) move around the
earth in a belt that is at most 18 degrees wide. This belt is known
as the zodiac (see in Group 35). The middle of the belt is known as
the ecliptic, or the "way of the sun." The movement of the moon
around the earth follows an orbit that is slightly slanting in
relation to the ecliptic. On each of its revolutions around the earth
the moon cuts the ecliptic at two places. The point where the moon
cuts the ecliptic from south to north is known as the moon's north
node or caput draconis, the dragon's head. These signs for the north
node have different forms but are, nevertheless, similar to one
another. These nodes take 1819 years to move one full revolution
through the zodiac. The 18-year cycles are important both in
astronomy, as they make eclipses possible to predict, and in human
life, as they correspond to the age when individuals are allowed to
marry, manage their own bank accounts, drive cars, etc.
The sign in the middle of those shown here is the graph for the
north node as it was drawn in a Greek natal chart more than 2,000
years ago.
According to astrology in a natal chart is a symbol for gifts
and resources made available to the individual without them having
been consciously sought. It is also associated with blood relations
and sexual contacts that lead to childbirth.
The North Node (also known as Rahu or Caput Draconis)
The north node points to a new path of personal individuation and
development that challenges and fulfills us. It involves learning new
ways to function in the world that are integrated with our current
life's purpose. The conflict we feel within, concerning our release
of obsolete behavior patterns and our opening to fresh possibilities,
is highlighted by our lunar node positions.
Does any of this make sense or am I just rambling with odd theories
now lol.
