“Intensive p” family in Signs
by Richard Pellard
English translation by Julien Rouger
The intensive power of the R.E.T. in the zodiac

The interpretation examples that we are suggesting are very far from being exhaustive: they only show and outline a general frame describing the issues of the planetary family in a zodiac Sign. They should therefore not be taken literally. Each being brings indeed its own responses, more or less original, to the questions raised by a planetary family in a Sign. There is no magic formula. Through using the R.E.T. and of the Theory of Ages and combining logic, observation and imagination, you will be able to develop a thousand other possible meanings, a thousand other variations on the same theme.

‘p’ family — Moon: homogeneous wholeness — intensive power

Aries “Intensive power” (“Small p”: Moon)

Aries ‘p’ family — Moon: homogeneous wholeness — intensive power Aries

Adjusted formula: “Small p in S+, Q+, SO”

▶ Intensive power (receptive flexibility, ability to let go) in expending excitation Strength, excitation Quickness, sense of Opposites.

Maladjusted formula: “Non-P in w−, sl−, EP”

▶ Deficiency of extensive Power (lack of organizing-conservative authority) in eliminating inhibition weakness, inhibition inertia, egalitarian phase.

▶ Your strengths : you need for your general balance, for your well-being and your plenitude, to evolve in a moving, changing and dynamic atmosphere. You adapt quickly and easily to rapid changes in your living environment. Spontaneous, available for the unexpected, moody but generally pleasant, you never feel so rested, so intimately yourself as when you can extract yourself from daily routines to see the world with fresh eyes. Sensitive and receptive to what allows you or not to flourish at your own pace, you know how to reject with a gentle but effective firmness all that can oppose the dynamic tranquility that you are constantly seeking.

▶ Your weaknesses : Naive, credulous, too permeable and too reactive, you give in too quickly to all the influences from the outside world, to which you are unable to remain indifferent, to the point of becoming excessively impressionable. Your first impressions, good or bad, tend to leave indelible marks on you. In an often whimsical, jagged mood, you sometimes, after periods of rather ineffective agitation, sink into an inert withdrawal into yourself, to preserve your tranquility, before abandoning yourself again passively, with a good-natured but unproductive joy in all that ephemerally stimulates you.

‘p’ family — Moon: homogeneous wholeness — intensive power

Taurus “Intensive power” (“Small p”: Moon)

Taurus ‘p’ family — Moon: homogeneous wholeness — intensive power Taurus

Adjusted formula: “Small p in S−, Q+, SP”

▶ Intensive power (receptive flexibility, ability to let go) in recovering inhibition Strength, negative induction, excitation Quickness, sense of Proportions.

Maladjusted formula: “Non-P in w+, sl−, PP”

▶ Deficiency of extensive Power (lack of organizing-conservative authority) in recreating excitation weakness, inhibition inertia, paradoxical phase.

▶ Your strengths : you deploy all your energy to maintain in you and if possible around you a stable well-being, a serenity and a peace sheltered from the vagaries of chance and the vagaries of the unexpected. You take root in your habits and your routines, you attach quietly but unfailingly to what and those who are part of your intimate and familiar world. Your currency could be “calms you !” You know how to make the necessary concessions so that no one comes to disturb you in your “bubble”, resist effortlessly the excitement of your environment and do not want to let yourself be destabilized by anyone or anything at any price. Convivial and agreeable within the circle of followers you have carefully chosen, you remain indifferent and suspicious of the rest.

▶ Your weaknesses : apathetic, you tend to immerse yourself too much in your routines and acquired security. You find it difficult to agree to leave the purring circle of your familiars, your intimates. Only your selfish, self-satisfied tranquility seems to have any real value to you. So you repeat to yourself, you harp on indolently, unable to reconsider the world and the beings around you with fresh eyes. Prisoner of your reassuring dependencies, of your established achievements, you allow yourself to eke out a living in the protective breast of your comfortable habits, vegetate without asking for more. Tired in advance of the idea of taking an initiative, you are nonetheless worried about losing a crumb of your closed happiness.

‘p’ family — Moon: homogeneous wholeness — intensive power

Gemini “Intensive power” (“Small p”: Moon)

Gemini ‘p’ family — Moon: homogeneous wholeness — intensive power Gemini

Adjusted formula: “Small p in S+, Q+, SS”

▶ Intensive power (receptive flexibility, ability to let go) in expending excitation Strength, excitation Quickness, sense of Syntheses.

Maladjusted formula: “Non-P in w−, sl−, UP”

▶ Deficiency of extensive Power (lack of organizing-conservative authority) in eliminating inhibition weakness, inhibition inertia, ultraparadoxical phase.

▶ Your strengths : you feel good everywhere, you spontaneously acclimatize to all environments, to almost all atmospheres : your dispositions for well-being, pleasant intimacy, “bubble” peaceful are adaptable to the ebb and flow of changing circumstances, without seeming to bother you in the least. Besides, you don’t know the embarrassment : open and friendly, you welcome everything and everyone with a smiling tranquility, a spontaneous confidence and without blinkers. You change habits and routines like a shirt, with a fluidity that makes you extremely pleasant to live with on a daily basis. Friendly, fraternal and welcoming, your intimacy is open to everyone.

▶ Your weaknesses : you get too comfortable, you feel too much at home everywhere, until you become unembarrassed and intrusive. Extremely suggestible and malleable, unable to oppose a firm refusal to the stimulations of the outside world, the nothing impresses you, disturbs your tranquility, calls into question your well-being. You place your trust in anyone too easily, you delude those whom you believe to be your relatives or friends, and you give too liberal, too tolerant and too lax a welcome to ideas, things or people who are not worth it and may even harm you to one degree or another. Your exaggerated receptivity to people and situations disturbs you intimately.

‘p’ family — Moon: homogeneous wholeness — intensive power

Cancer “Intensive power” (“Small p”: Moon)

Cancer ‘p’ family — Moon: homogeneous wholeness — intensive power Cancer

Adjusted formula: “Small p in S−, Sl+, SS”

▶ Intensive power (receptive flexibility, ability to let go) in shielding inhibition Strength, excitation Slowness, sense of Syntheses.

Maladjusted formula: “Non-P in w+, q−, UP”

▶ Deficiency of extensive Power (lack of organizing-conservative authority) in associating excitation weakness, inhibition lability, ultraparadoxical phase.

▶ Your strengths : it is in a closed and protected world that you can fulfill your needs for well-being, peace and quiet. The concepts of “bubble”, family and “cocoon” seem to have been invented expressly for you : outside the circle of close friends and family, there is no salvation ! Within the borders of this reassuring cell to which you feel you totally belong, you show yourself to be friendly, malleable, kind, living in deep communion and fusion with what and those around you and have no equal in defending your small world against the intruders and disruptors of all kinds. Peaceful, coherent, reassuring, you make others benefit from your feeling of intense plenitude.

▶ Your weaknesses : homebody, indolent, nonchalant, you are a little too prisoner of the cozy cocoon of your homebody habits. Outside of your little world where you passively daydream, nothing excites you, nothing interests you. Lacking initiative and autonomy, you tend to let yourself be governed and mothered by wills stronger than your own. Locked in your inner shambles, confusing, rehashing your nostalgic memories, your vague impressions, your confused aspirations, you surrender to laziness and indifferent slackness, hoping that others will ensure your safety in your place and panicking at the idea of being left to your own devices.

‘p’ family — Moon: homogeneous wholeness — intensive power

Leo “Intensive power” (“Small p”: Moon)

Leo ‘p’ family — Moon: homogeneous wholeness — intensive power Leo

Adjusted formula: “Small p in S+, Sl+, SP”

▶ Intensive power (receptive flexibility, ability to let go) in unblocking excitation Strength, positive induction, excitation Slowness, sense of Proportions.

Maladjusted formula: “Non-P in w−, q−, PP”

▶ Deficiency of extensive Power (lack of organizing-conservative authority) in differentiating inhibition weakness, inhibition lability, paradoxical phase.

▶ Your strengths : you benefit from a serene self-confidence that radiates around you. Welcoming, available and liberal, you are constantly expanding the territories where you feel comfortable, relaxed, in intimate harmony. You have open, irresistibly generous and contagious kindness, availability, well-being and friendliness. You draw your good-natured tranquility from a peaceful domination of your daily world, knowing how to make the necessary concessions so that you are never disturbed. Your receptivity, your plasticity and your malleability allow you casually to overcome a number of obstacles that others would consider prohibitive.

▶ Your weaknesses : excessively confident and naive about your ability to calmly convince others, you tend to ignore or minimize the pitfalls that they can pose on your way. Provided that it makes you dream and that it does not disturb your habits in any way, you swallow everything without any discrimination : you are too natural to understand the sophistications, too ingenuous to discern all that your too lax behaviors can produce. You blindly believe that it is enough to weave obvious and demonstrative bonds of friendliness between people for everything to happen as in a dream. In fact, it is enough to amaze you superficially to subjugate you.

‘p’ family — Moon: homogeneous wholeness — intensive power

Virgo “Intensive power” (“Small p”: Moon)

Virgo ‘p’ family — Moon: homogeneous wholeness — intensive power Virgo

Adjusted formula: “Small p in S−, Sl+, SO”

▶ Intensive power (receptive flexibility, ability to let go) in shielding inhibition Strength, excitation Slowness, sense of Opposites.

Maladjusted formula: “Non-P in w+, q−, EP”

▶ Deficiency of extensive Power (lack of organizing-conservative authority) in associating excitation weakness, inhibition lability, egalitarian phase.

▶ Your strengths : for you, living in harmony is above all about feeling safe. Modest, reserved, shy and secretive with those you do not know, you are on the other hand friendly and welcoming with those who are part of the very closed and very tightly circumscribed circle of your intimate friends. Humble, peaceful and routine, you find your balance in a daily life without surprises or turmoil, wisely confining yourself to the bare necessities to be free from any superfluous needs. Temperate and patient, naturally sparing and rather static, you know how to save your strength and organize yourself peacefully but effectively to curb the unexpected and have time to dream in peace.

▶ Your weaknesses : willpower is not your strong point ; it can even too often turn out to be singularly deficient. You surrender too easily to carelessness, to an anarchic passivity that seems devoid of any appetite for life. At times like these, nothing else seems to interest you but your sterile, disjointed daydreams that isolate you from others. You believe too much that it is your loved ones who must adapt to you : hence your difficulties in integrating into any new environment. Fearful and alarmist, allergic to others who are all potential troublemakers for you, you are no less highly dependent on them as you find it difficult to assume your autonomy.

‘p’ family — Moon: homogeneous wholeness — intensive power

Libra “Intensive power” (“Small p”: Moon)

Libra ‘p’ family — Moon: homogeneous wholeness — intensive power Libra

Adjusted formula: “Small p in S+, Q−, SO”

▶ Intensive power (receptive flexibility, ability to let go) in associating excitation Strength, inhibition Quickness, sense of Opposites.

Maladjusted formula: “Non-P in w−, sl+, EP”

▶ Deficiency of extensive Power (lack of organizing-conservative authority) in shielding inhibition weakness, excitation inertia, egalitarian phase.

▶ Your strengths : you are always ready to make as many concessions as possible to preserve in your environment a climate conducive to good understanding, conviviality and daily serenity. Available, open, receptive and easy to live with, you know how to create around you an atmosphere of shared trust based on respect for others considered as equals. Rounding off the angles and finding points of agreement does not cost you, as long as you live in osmosis, in symbiosis with what and those around you. You know how to slip away flexibly to avoid tensions, conflicts, misunderstandings, you show yourself to be conciliatory, welcoming and complacent with everyone, including those you don’t like.

▶ Your weaknesses : to live a relationship that is too osmotic, too symbiotic with your human environment, you often risk having difficulty in differentiating yourself from it, in delimiting what falls within the sphere of an intimacy that should be circumscribed and protected at a minimum. Unstable, careless and unruly, anything is good for you as long as it doesn’t disturb your indolent well-being. Not knowing how to defend or protect yourself, you let others invade you, giving the same complacent attention to your friends as to those who are not, at the risk of not being selective and careful enough in your company. You lack solidity, consistency, prudence and vigilance.

‘p’ family — Moon: homogeneous wholeness — intensive power

Scorpio “Intensive power” (“Small p”: Moon)

Scorpio ‘p’ family — Moon: homogeneous wholeness — intensive power Scorpio

Adjusted formula: “Small p in S−, Q−, SP”

▶ Intensive power (receptive flexibility, ability to let go) in differentiating inhibition Strength, negative induction, inhibition Quickness, sense of Proportions.

Maladjusted formula: “Non-P in w+, sl+, PP”

▶ Deficiency of extensive Power (lack of organizing-conservative authority) in unblocking excitation weakness, excitation inertia, paradoxical phase.

▶ Your strengths : Essential to your general well-being and to your overall balance in life, the ties of belonging, familiarity and intimacy that you develop are particularly selective, narrow and demanding. Your friendliness, your tolerance, your natural benevolence and your kindness are only expressed within the family or friendly clan of which you feel intensely and fully united and of which you know how to make absolutely devoted faithful, a supportive environment for your needs for calm and peaceful harmony ; those who are outside this restricted circle, who disturb the conception that you have of an uneventful daily life, are automatically rejected by you.

▶ Your weaknesses : you do not have the necessary punch to free yourself from the fatalities to which your indolence, your carelessness and your passive refusals seem to condemn you. By abdicating your responsibilities, you find yourself more often than not in dead-end situations. Prisoner of the cramped surroundings of your intimates, your familiars, that is to say those who do not bother you, you find it difficult not to get bogged down in your boggling habits, but also not to allow yourself to be intoxicated by your loved ones who know your malleability. You do as little as possible by encouraging others to act on your behalf to benefit from their efforts.

‘p’ family — Moon: homogeneous wholeness — intensive power

Sagittarius “Intensive power” (“Small p”: Moon)

Sagittarius ‘p’ family — Moon: homogeneous wholeness — intensive power Sagittarius

Adjusted formula: “Small p in S+, Q−, SS”

▶ Intensive power (receptive flexibility, ability to let go) in associating excitation Strength, inhibition Quickness, sense of Syntheses.

Maladjusted formula: “Non-P in w−, sl+, UP”

▶ Deficiency of extensive Power (lack of organizing-conservative authority) in shielding inhibition weakness, excitation inertia, ultraparadoxical phase.

▶ Your strengths : completely and widely open to the world around you, plastic, welcoming and without prejudice, you have the gift of feeling at ease in the most different environments and of adapting to them peacefully without it requiring the slightest effort. Reconciling beyond all limits, your tolerance and your availability towards others are infinite provided that you evolve in a calm and harmonious atmosphere. You feel intimately and deeply that you belong to the vast world around you, with which you experience total communion, a peaceful fusion. Spontaneously humanistic, the state of euphoria and blissful completeness in which you most often bathe is contagious for those around you.

▶ Your weaknesses : you are much too malleable and much too dependent on the environment in which you evolve and from which you have the greatest difficulty in differentiating yourself by dint of being unable to close yourself to it. Your unbridled receptivity pushes you to assimilate, accept, digest everything without discernment : you risk being too suggestive, too easily influenced. You often lack your own identity as you seek with others a perfect agreement excluding any expression of your individual particularities. Naive and impressionable, you abandon yourself with gentle passivity to your dream of a marvelous world in which you could bathe free from all constraints, all disciplines and all limits.

‘p’ family — Moon: homogeneous wholeness — intensive power

Capricorn “Intensive power” (“Small p”: Moon)

Capricorn ‘p’ family — Moon: homogeneous wholeness — intensive power Capricorn

Adjusted formula: “Small p in S−, Sl−, SS”

▶ Intensive power (receptive flexibility, ability to let go) in eliminating inhibition Strength, inhibition Slowness, sense of Syntheses.

Maladjusted formula: “Non-P in w+, q+, UP”

▶ Deficiency of extensive Power (lack of organizing-conservative authority) in expending excitation weakness, excitation lability, ultraparadoxical phase.

▶ Your strengths : there “bubble” in which you feel good is above all an ivory tower that isolates you from the outside world. At ease and good about yourself within the relationships of conviviality, familiarity and intimacy that you willingly develop, you know how to refuse with constancy, phlegm and stubbornness that anyone or anything may come to disturb them. Moreover, any relationship that is not deep and absolute osmosis with others is perfectly indifferent to you. In your secluded and warm little world, you feel as much alone as in company, as long as nothing comes to disturb your peaceful rhythms of life which you hold as the apple of your eye.

▶ Your weaknesses : apart from your ambient, habitual, routine and familiar environment with which you identify too completely, you find it difficult to find your general balance, to adapt spontaneously. And even within this everyday world, you tend to be too apathetic, inactive, withdrawn, as if you were completely self-sufficient in your uninteresting routine. Nothing seems to be able to reach you, nothing intoxicates you, excites you, except your disjointed daydreams which sometimes make you feverish. If you do not feel carried and supported by a reassuring environment, you have too much of a tendency to withdraw into your fleeting anxieties which in no way prevent you from remaining carefree and incapable of reacting.

‘p’ family — Moon: homogeneous wholeness — intensive power

Aquarius “Intensive power” (“Small p”: Moon)

Aquarius ‘p’ family — Moon: homogeneous wholeness — intensive power Aquarius

Adjusted formula: “Small p in S+, Sl−, SP”

▶ Intensive power (receptive flexibility, ability to let go) in recreating excitation Strength, positive induction, inhibition Slowness, sense of Proportions.

Maladjusted formula: “Non-P in w−, q+, PP”

▶ Deficiency of extensive Power (lack of organizing-conservative authority) in recovering inhibition weakness, excitation lability, paradoxical phase.

▶ Your strengths : daily life is for you a perpetual enchantment, an inexhaustible source of wonders that must be kept safe from getting bogged down in heavy routines. Welcoming, receptive and confident, you find your happiness and your balance by systematically seeing the good side of things and by favoring bonds of serene solidarity and always flexibly recreated with others. Conciliatory and generous, open, calm, serene and friendly, nothing seems to be able to resist your contagious and relaxed good humor, your ability to weave intimate complicities without ever locking yourself or others in a possessive, heavy and repetitive.

▶ Your weaknesses : indolent, naive and overconfident, you are a little too inclined to abandon yourself to a quiet passivity and a peaceful recklessness which encourages you to see life in pink as long as you are not forced to take responsibility for yourself in complete independence. Unstable, short-sighted, fluctuating, euphoric and inconsequential dreamer, excessively disinterested, you too often practice the policy of least effort hoping that things will work out for you as if by a miracle, without you having to put your hands in the dough and take your responsibilities. So do you live to the rhythm of your inclinations for action without a future and, more cicada than ant, you risk being “very deprived when the wind came”…

‘p’ family — Moon: homogeneous wholeness — intensive power

Pisces “Intensive power” (“Small p”: Moon)

Pisces ‘p’ family — Moon: homogeneous wholeness — intensive power Pisces

Adjusted formula: “Small p in S−, Sl−, SO”

▶ Intensive power (receptive flexibility, ability to let go) in eliminating inhibition Strength, inhibition Slowness, sense of Opposites.

Maladjusted formula: “Non-P in w+, q+, EP”

▶ Deficiency of extensive Power (lack of organizing-conservative authority) in expending excitation weakness, excitation lability, egalitarian phase.

▶ Your strengths : to maintain your well-being, your general balance, your bonds of quiet and rested intimacy, you have the art of detaching yourself radically from the outside world, of remaining hermetically indifferent to all its agitations, turbulences and temptations. There “bubble” inside which you develop peacefully is completely impervious to those who do not share your taste for a calm, harmonious, friendly, natural and unconstrained daily life. Thanks to your receptive and welcoming indifference and your hyper-adaptable plasticity, you manage without difficulty and without forcing yourself to weave your way through, and, by wavering, to make your nest through the most varied circumstances.

▶ Your weaknesses : you are really not at ease when it comes to asserting yourself, fighting, exteriorizing yourself and courageously facing the difficulties of existence. In your worst moments, you thus show yourself to be amorphous, lymphatic, disillusioned, resigned, tired in advance. Indolent, lazy and submissive despite your whims and your desire for independence, you would in fact like to live in a dream universe where absolute peace, sovereign calm, eternal and cloudless harmony reign. Having to take responsibility for yourself (you sometimes think about it when you really can’t help it) creates in you deep feelings of worry, inferiority and insecurity.
