Intercepted houses in astrology are a unique celestial phenomenon that occur when a zodiac sign is intercepted between two consecutive houses in a birth chart. This occurs due to the uneven distribution of zodiac signs across the astrological wheel, resulting in certain houses being completely encompassed within a single zodiac sign. Intercepted houses share their ruling planet with the neighboring house’s cusp, and a true interception occurs only when there are at least two houses, each accommodating three signs.
Intercepted houses can be found in twelve signs and twelve houses, with one sign at the beginning of every house. However, it is important to note that intercepted signs have special significance in the chart and should not affect everyone. In whole house systems, each house would begin with 0 degrees by sign, so there can be no intercepted houses or planets in these systems.
While many astrologers disagree on the significance of intercepted houses, most agree that they have special significance in the chart and should be considered. Intercepted signs do not affect everyone, but for those who do have this tricky configuration, understanding what it means can lead to better predictions.
When there are intercepted signs in a house, there can also be duplicated houses, where two different houses both begin in the same sign. If one sign is intercepted, the other may not be present in the house. Understanding the concept of intercepted houses and missing houses is crucial in deciphering the cosmic puzzle pieces that shape our celestial bodies.

What is the luckiest transit in astrology?
Jupiter trine Venus is considered the most auspicious pairing, as it signifies ease and support between planets. This placement is considered the trifecta of luck, as Jupiter is the luckiest planet, Venus is the second, and the trine is the luckiest aspect. Venus in Libra is a special pair, bringing harmony, creativity, and charm, especially for relationships. Venus Libras are dedicated to partnership, and Jupiter conjunct Pluto is known to bring great wealth.
This placement occurs around every 12 years, and when it does, it is expected to bring financial success and an abundance of riches overall. These placements are considered the trifecta of luck, bringing the best and most luck possible.
How to unlock intercepted planets?
The interception system in a chart operates similarly to a Japanese safe-chest with secret drawers. To access the secret compartment and intercepted signs, one must follow a specific sequence of keys. The first key, ruler of the house cusp, and the second key, ruler of the intercepted sign, unlocks the intercepted planet. Fulfillment depends on unlocking the interception, which is often assigned delays, hard work, and frustration.
Intercepted Sun (and house of Leo) is a challenging situation as it requires a sense of ego, purpose, and importance to be built. The power of the will and personality essence remain elusive until the voice inside is found.
Intercepted Moon (and house of Cancer) may point to the past and the relationship with the mother, hindering growth due to obsolete past emotional reactions. Addressing and confronting intense emotions is necessary for growth.
How to find an interception in astrology?
Interceptions occur when one House fully encompasses a Sign, with 12 signs evenly spaced around the circle, each containing 30 degrees of the full 360 degrees. Houses can be any size as long as the sum of the 12 Houses adds up to 360 degrees. Interceptions will always appear in pairs, as house sizes are symmetrical and reflect across the circle. If a Planet falls into the intercepted sign, it is also intercepted. Each Planet, Sign, and House carries meaning when involved in an interception.
For example, the chart has two pairs of interceptions, with the 2nd and 8th Houses intercepted, and the signs Capricorn and Cancer, respectively. Uranus, Neptune, Sun, and Venus are intercepted Planets.
Do I have intercepted houses?
In astrology, an intercepted house is a house that is greater than 30 degrees and can accommodate an entire sign. The sign is wholly encompassed by the house, precluding the appearance of its initial and final degrees on the house cusps. This results in the entire sign being subsumed by the house.
Is it possible to have no houses in astrology?
Empty houses in astrology are twelve houses without planets in a birth chart, which may indicate a person’s lack of importance in a specific area of life. However, empty houses do not exclude a person from experiencing themes connected to them, as other variables, such as the governing planet or planetary aspects in the birth chart, can impact a person’s experiences in that area. Some astrologers believe that empty houses may represent areas of personal growth or development, as they may require more effort to develop certain traits or experiences.
Empty houses may not have the same significance as houses with planets, but they provide valuable insights into a person’s strengths, challenges, and chances in various aspects of life. It is crucial to observe the planet that rules that house to understand its impact on the entire chart.
What do empty houses mean in a natal chart?
In an astrological chart, an empty house indicates that no natal planets are found in that house. This is often interpreted as a sign of life issues, such as never getting married or having a job in the empty 7th or 10th houses.
Which houses are the most powerful astrology?
The angular houses in the chart are the most powerful, while succedent houses, less powerful but more powerful than the cadent houses, have a quality similar to the angular houses. The second house, which succeeds the first house of the body and personality, signifies the things that belong to the person, while the eighth house, following the seventh house of the partner or spouse, represents the belongings of the other person. Succedent houses have a stable, unchanging, fixed quality, deriving from their central position in each quadrant of the chart.
While some houses have malefic or weak connotations, they are productive houses where matters normally take root and flourish, such as possessions or children. The second house signifies the possessions of the person or event for which the chart was cast, and this meaning has persisted unchanged for several thousand years. Modern astrologers may perceive a correspondence between the second house and the sign Taurus, but traditional astrologers did not. Hellenistic astrologers considered the second house the “Gate of Hades”, leading to the houses beneath the horizon of the chart.
Why don’t I have all 12 houses?
The Houses in a birth chart provide a framework for a person’s lived experience, offering depth and dimension to illuminate the most meaningful spheres of influence. Some Houses contain multiple planets, often near each other due to their seasonal movement. A stellium, a concentration of energy in a House, reflects a specific theme.
The First House represents the body, physical appearance, and recurring themes in a person’s life. Planets in this House often show up in obvious ways, such as wearing emotions or caring deeply about aesthetics. It is also the House of manifestation, inspiring action and setting things in motion.
The Second House is related to personal finances and material possessions, and speaks to what we need to feel safe, protected, and supported. Natal planets in the Second House are motivated by concepts of security, while planets transiting the Second House reveal changes in resources or perception of importance.
In summary, the Houses provide a framework for a person’s life, highlighting the importance of each House in shaping their experiences and relationships.
Is astrology real at all?
Astrology is a belief system that suggests a connection between astronomical phenomena and human events or personality descriptions. However, it has been criticized by the scientific community for lacking explanatory power and scientific testing has found no evidence to support its premises or effects. The most famous test, led by Shawn Carlson, concluded that natal astrology performed no better than chance. Astrology has not demonstrated its effectiveness in controlled studies and has no scientific validity, making it regarded as pseudoscience.
There is no proposed mechanism by which stars and planets’ positions and motions could affect people and events on Earth in the way astrologers claim, which contradicts well-understood aspects of biology and physics. Modern scientific inquiry into astrology focuses on the correlation between astrological traditions and the influence of seasonal birth in humans.
How important are houses in astrology?
A birth chart is a 360-degree wheel divided into 12 houses, each planet and constellation in the zodiac was located within a specific house at the time of birth. Astrologers believe understanding these placements can provide insight into how astrology influences key aspects of life, such as health, career, or relationships. Each person has an ascendant sign, which is the rising sign on the eastern horizon at the time of birth. This placement determines the location of other planets, signs, and constellations in the personal chart.
The first six astrological houses are known as personal houses, helping astrologers understand oneself and how they relate to the world, while houses seven through 12 are viewed as interpersonal houses.
What causes intercepted houses in astrology?
Intercepted signs refer to the fact that in horoscopes for northern or southern latitudes, two out of the 12 houses are not evenly spaced at 30 degrees apart. This results in two out of the 12 signs getting swallowed up inside two opposing houses, causing two other signs to govern two houses instead of one.
Over the years, research on interceptions has not covered the subject thoroughly. Some writers believed that intercepted signs had to do with past lives, but the source and mechanics of this information are not well understood. Others suggested that intercepted signs were related to suppressed qualities in an individual, making it difficult for them to express in a positive way.
In recent years, an explanation for interceptions has been found that the nature of the signs indicates that the client’s early life was influenced by a family problem and that they played second fiddle to it. This resulted in the child feeling uncomfortable in situations where the original problem became an issue, leading to overcompensation or a lack of understanding about how to address it.
In summary, intercepted signs can have significant implications for a client’s life and career, as they can indicate a family problem that the client may have struggled with and may overcompensate for.
