Esoteric Astrology - Vol. 10: Esoteric Astrology, #10

By Douglas M. Baker

ESOTERIC ASTROLOGY – VOL. 10
INTERCEPTED SIGNS - Seventh House thru Twelfth House

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 people's 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.

INTRODUCTION

The circumflex* is a mark (â) used to indicate an accent. It may indicate quality of contraction. It gives a specificity to the letter over which it is placed, suggesting how the letter is pronounced. Anatomically it suggests, for instance, an artery turning round some anatomical part, like the blood vessel that arches over the cleft between the thumb and forefinger. In proof-reading it means an omission.

* Latin circumflex - circum + flexus, past participle of flectere, to bend.

Intercepted in astrology means a Sign which lies between two houses without occupying the cusp of either. Thus, in the example below, Taurus is intercepted in the Twelfth House and Scorpio is therefore intercepted in the Sixth House. Intercepted charts usually emerge where the native is born in extreme latitudes, north or south, and may even produce four intercepted Signs:

Going even further north (to the Eskimos) poses the interesting situation whereby there is no Sign on the Ascendant at all in lands where the sun never sets or, indeed, in winter, never rises!

The aetiology of the word suggests its astrological classification. Things that are bent indicate the Twelfth House. Those that are suggestive of a mark (e.g., The man made his mark on the document.) are under the First House. The First and Twelfth Houses combined always suggest accentuation of spiritual qualities, and the ruler of the Ascendant is, of course, always the lord of the First and Twelfth Houses and attempts to express spiritual qualities. It is as if the sacred word of the individual is sounded with its particular (existential) circumflex accent, through the esoteric ruler of the Ascendant and the lord of the First and Twelfth Houses.

Thus, in the esoteric sense, the interception may mean any or all of the following:

A heightening of the spiritual emphasis.

A narrowing down of expression to the purely spiritual.

Rare spiritual gifts.

Spiritual isolation in certain specific matters.

Alienation.

The glyph (Z) is not just suggestive of confinement, constriction and contraction, but of higher connections (spiritual) symbolised especially in Egyptian and other dancers who place the palms of their hands together above their heads (7 1st House).

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 (â). 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.

* Existentialism — the affirmation of human dignity.

Intercepted Signs are not a rarity. Probably a quarter of the world’s population is involved. It is a rarity to find them adequately dealt with in a horoscope. This book helps to remedy this situation.
