INTERCEPTED SIGNS ~ Continued
Marianne E. Payton

POLARITIES OF RULING PLANETS

1. Opposite signs are considered partners, as are the planets which rule them. They represent a natural complimentary pair.

2. The interpretation of these planetary pairs can be used to interpret both the rules of the DUPLICATED SIGNS, as well as the INTERCEPTED SIGNS.

3. Use them also in interpreting the standard parts of any chart such as House Cusps, transits or Solar Returns, etc.

1. This is the Aries~Libra sign polarity. Mars rules Aries and Venus rules Libra. It is naturally associated with first and seventh house matters, i.e. one's ego and identity, along with the ability to harmonize with others.

2. This polarity deals with the partnership of give and take. MARS represents action based on personal desire ~ moving out and getting what you want from life. VENUS deals with your ability to be receptive to other people and influences outside of your control.

3. This pair is associated with sexuality, and, rules the PROCESS of reproduction that results from sexual union, or the reproduction of things through artistic creativity in the broader sense.

4. If ruling duplicated signs, you must consciously and constructively produce and reproduce, or artistically create and work with the people in these two houses and in the houses and in the houses MARS and VENUS are placed. It is vital to know your creative potential in these matters and to use that form of creativity to reproduce or create things these houses symbolize. Once you do, you will find greater opportunty to use the potentials of your interceptions.

5. If ruling intercepted signs, you will find that it is difficult to be creative through self-expression, in sex, or in art forms. Once you develop the traits of the rulers of the duplicated signs you will find it easier to do.

1. This is the Taurus ~ Scorpio sign polarity. VENUS rules Taurus and PLUTO rules Scorpio. It is naturally associated with the second and eighth houses ~ one's possessions and personal feelings, along with the sharing of possessions and transformation.

2. This polarity deals with Love for the self and all that is pleasing to the self and personal survival, or the gaining of possessions. Scorpio deals with the value of shared experiences and where you can unite with others in order to accomplish a goal having greater than personal value. In the house of Scorpio and Pluto, you are challenged to join forces with another in an attempt to produce more than what you alone could produce ~ especially of social benefit.

3. If ruling DUPLICATED signs, you must consciously and constructively use your assets, creativity, and beliefs with others to bring about the transformation needed in the houses that are duplicated and in the houses where PLUTO and VENUS are found. It is vital that you be willing to give up some of your possessions. When you do you will experience your transformation in these house matters. You will be better able to use the potentials shown by the signs and houses intercepted.

4. If ruling INTERCEPTED signs, you will find it is difficult to find the material security and survive on a level that personally pleases your senses. Others will not wish to join you in matters which might prove beneficial to both parties. Once you solve the duplicated signs, more opportunities will arise which permit doing so.

1. This is the Gemini~Sagittarius sign polarity. Mercury rules Gemini and Jupiter rules Sagittarius. It is naturally associated with the 3rd and 9th houses...everyday thinking and collecting facts and universal thinking, theory, and abstract thinking.

2. It describes your potential to expand (Jupiter) your level of everyday understanding (Mercury.) It represents your ability to use your mind to expand your social influence. Mercury rules your capacity for understanding facts while Jupiter rules your ability to turn facts into theories.

3. If ruling DUPLICATED signs, you need to expand your mind through far-reaching experiences. Until you broaden your vision and learn from larger experience, you can't express your intercepted signs or planets.

4. If ruling INTERCEPTED signs, you can't tell the difference between fact and theory or communicate the principles you live by in the matters of the houses with the intercepted signs. Once you have developed the traits of the duplicated signs you will be more able to do so.

1. This is the Cancer~Capricorn sign polarity. The Moon rules Cancer and Saturn rules Capricorn. It is naturally associated with the 4th and 10th houses. These houses represent parents, your background and early conditioning, as well as your public image and profession.

2. It deals with how you relate to authority and your family. It shows the psychological patterns your parents implanted in you. These patterns show how you wish to establish your emotional and social territory.

3. If ruling DUPLICATED signs you must come to terms with your family's influence on your life. You must consider the conflicts regarding your personal security and social success. You must understand your relationship with authority before the environment will give you opportunities for succeeding in the houses with the duplicated signs and in the houses where Saturn and the Moon reside.

4. If ruling INTERCEPTED signs it is difficult for you to consciously understand the impact society, parents and authority figures have on your psyche. Before finding an opportunity to build foundations at a personal or social level. To know where you fit into the world around you, you have to develop the traits of the duplicated signs.

1. This is the Leo~Aquarius sign polarity. The Sun rules Leo and Uranus rules Aquarius. It is naturally associated with the 5th and 11th houses. These houses represent creativity, children, your heart's desire and fulfilling your hopes, wishes and friends.

2. It deals with the need to feel purposeful in a greater than personal way and in a larger than personal world. It shows the relationship between your urge for personal development and growth (where you have Leo as your stamp) ~ plus the urge to find a oneness with the larger world (where you want to be recognized.)

3. If ruling DUPLICATED signs, you must come to terms with the power of your ego and its effect on group, or social needs, and goals. It is important for you to experience involvement in humanitarian service before the environment will facilitate your needs concerning the fulfillment of your intercepted planets and signs.

4. If ruling INTERCEPTED signs, you are unable to define your personal purpose, to feel that you have anything of value to contribute to grup goals until you develop the qualities of the duplicated signs.

1. This is the Virgo~Pisces sign polarity. Mercury naturally rules Virgo and Neptune rules Pisces. It is naturally associated with the 6th and 12th houses. It serves on a personal basis in a practical and realistic way and serves in a universal way for humanity.

2. It deals with the need to find a dream (Pisces) and to make it a reality (Virgo.) It deals with the living in the clouds while keeping your feet firmly planted on the ground in reality.

3. If ruling DUPLICATED signs, there is a need in the affairs of the houses that are duplicated to keep fact from fiction, plus keeping your mind in the realm of reality. There is also a need for taking a personal dream and positively making it a reality for the benefit of others and for the greater universe.

4. If ruling INTERCEPTED signs, you may not at first be able to see clearly the matters of the houses involved or to understand the people in these houses. They may deliberately delude or deceive you until you develop the traits of the duplicated signs. Then you will be able to see the real from the unreal, and to create a dream which you can turn into a reality for the benefit of all. Then you will be able to serve those who truly deserve it without being the local doormat for any opportunist who comes along.

Did you ever wonder why we are born and then we later die? I would imagine we human beings do not think about the purpose of life and then death, not even giving it a first thought as well as a second thought. We go along without thinking about the real purpose of it all.

The cruelty towards each other in this world is so enormous we haven't learned what we are here for. To put it simply, think of us here on earth as being in school. First, however, remember our Supreme Being which some of us call God, Gave us a freewill. Other cultures have other names for our Supreme Being and I would suppose it really doesn't matter what you call our maker, it just matters to know that our maker exists. I said this out loud when I had a colonosopy without any medication to put me to sleep for I was nosey enough to want to know what I looked like inside. I was so astonished at how well we are formed internally. I was so intrically made with my intestines and colon so well formed it glistened in the monitor. I let out a yell ... ... "There must be a God". There must be a Supreme Being or Spirit that made all of us the same inside; whether or not we look different on the outside. When I yelled this, I do believe I shocked the doctor and nurses standing by for they looked at each other in disbelief. I had a spiritual experience at a crucial time in my life, for I was told I could possibly have cancer. I never thought about it before but we are all made the same on the inside so that our body can function for us, yet we can look different on the outside. I wondered if our Supreme Being purposely made us different on the outside to see if we would get along ... different races and nationalities? I next took the next step in my thinking and I thought if you take a picture of the inside of a dark skinned person, a white skinned person and different nationalities, you could not tell from the pictures any difference among us, yet we show hatred towards each other.

It now seems so simple, yet we human beings just put all our energies into having more things, the best car, the biggest house, and often the most money we can make that would be well beyond what we actually need. If we are fortunate enough to get the very best and more than we need we don't usually share with the less unfortunate who struggles but doesn't succeed. Someone once said something to me I will never forget ... "You have never seen a hearse pull a u-haul". We need the basics to exist and not make things and money our God.

Our freewill can get us in trouble too. for whether or not you believe in Jesus, he did say two things to his disciples before his crucifixion which makes total sense and sounds so simple, yet we human beings just don't do it or even think about it. He said "Love Ye One Another" and "Keep Thy Commandments". We can't do either one and we don't even try so how do you think we are going to fair out when it comes to report card time? Our Supreme Being, which most of us call "God", made the universe and gave us only ten laws of his household so to speak. Most of us can't recite what the ten laws are, yet alone live by them. Therefore, is the test!!! We are in school and we are tested to show kindness which is a form of love and we are tested to keep the Supreme Being's ten laws and while we are in the physical body we fail on some of these test or all of these tests.

While going through more tests to see if I had cancer I had to drink this terrible stuff and sit in a dressing room that was so small my knees almost hit the door in front of me. I tried to relax myself and put my head back on the wall when I heard a voice at my left ear. The voice said "Go teach". I remember thinking "teach what?". The voice then said "Teach that we should not "demean" or "make misery for another one of God's souls. This will cover all of God's ten laws. So much killing, so much hatred, God is not angry, God is sad".

I told my friend who was waiting for me to take me home what the voice said to me. She said when I get home I will look up the ten commandments and see if the word "Demean" and the saying "Not to make misery for another one of God's souls" would apply to all ten commandments even though the voice said "laws" to me ... we figured they were one and the same. She later called me on the phone and said "Florence, the two things do apply to all ten". I got the feeling that the voice was saying to me "If you can't remember the ten (which most of us cannot), at least you can remember these two and it would make it easier for us to live by, therefore helping us to live and treat each other the way our Supreme Being wants us to. By not "Demeaning" or "Making Misery For" is being kind to another human being; whether or not they are kind to us. If someone "demeans" you do not demean them back for if you do they suckered you into being like them ...... walk away!!! It is harder to walk away than to do in like kind. You could say to them "You do not have the right to talk to me that way" ... and they don't!!!!

I had a new client come to me and as soon as she sat down she said "you believe in reincarnation don't you?" I said "yes". She said "I don't know if I believe in it or not". I asked her if she had two children and she replied "yes". I then said to her "Do you tell your children they have to get it right the first time for if they don't there is no other chance or do you forgive and forgive and forgive and they keep saying to you "Mommy I'm sorry, I won't do it again; only to do it all over again, and you may punish them, but you wind up forgiving again"? Of course, her answer was "certainly!!!" I said "Then so does our Father who made us, but we can't get it right in one lifetime alone, so he forgives by giving us another chance of being in the human body and doing it all over again and experiencing things all over again to see if we handle things maybe different than we did before".

This world of human beings are not passing in school! We need to take another look at our behavior all over this world. How can we call it a holy war when we kill each other, whether it be in this country or other countries. We need not to "Demean" or "Make Misery For" each and every human being in order to pass the test we are here for.
