INTERCEPTED SIGNS - Seventh House thru Twelfth House
By Dr. Douglas M. Baker
Intercepted Signs are not a rarity in esoteric astrology. Probably a quarter of the world’s population is involved. It is a rarity to find them adequately dealt with in a horoscope. Volume 9 and 10 help to remedy this situation.
An intercepted Sign indicates the element of being “boxed in”, if only in the sense of peoples ice-bound during winter in the far northern hemisphere and in the sea-locked fiords. But, out of even these extremes may emerge the superlative (First House) of some quality which carries in it genius and existentialism reminiscent of the fiery Norsemen themselves, with their red, flaming hair, First Ray physical bodies and propensity (bent — Twelfth House) for navigation, exploration and colonization, thereby expressing and spreading the initial and rare qualities of the emerging Anglo-Saxon sub-race.
“Intercepted” in astrology means a Sign which lies between two houses without occupying the cusp of either. Intercepted charts usually emerge where the native is born in extreme latitudes, north or south, and may even produce four intercepted Signs.
Whilst esoteric astrology is primarily concerned with the hegemony of the soul as it progressively asserts itself in the life of the individual, it is also capable of providing the personality with direction and useful advice. When we are dealing with Man on the Path, a far, far more accurate an interpretation of his situation, its potentials and limitations for expression is given here by using the esoteric rulers of the Signs of the Zodiac as demonstrated in esoteric astrology.
The development of the computer has made the horoscope available to the millions, and it is but a matter of time before the same computers begin to sieve out the “real from the unreal.” In the end, however, the real is only discovered within, and the fullest exposition of esoteric astrology gives the keys to such discoveries within and their correlation to wide and more universal principles. To ignore the individual horoscope is to leave astrology, esoteric or exoteric, with feet of clay. What this writing represents is a wiser and more psychosynthetic interpretation of the horoscope.
Thus, providing the interpreter views the horoscope from a point of higher synthesis, the most accurate interpretation of a personality matter may be gauged from particular astrological aspects. Bailey herself, or the Tibetan Master through her, gave the key to the psychosynthetic approach by allocating esoteric rulerships to the Signs for Man on the Path and a further set of rulers, called “hierarchical”, which apply to those disciples who are initiate and engaged in the work of the Hierarchy of this planet, as It implements the Divine Plan for the Earth.
