What In Astrology Are Intercepted Houses?

An intercepted sign in an astrological chart is a zodiac sign that does not rule any house due to the method of house division used. This phenomenon generally occurs in unequal house systems, such as the Placidus. An intercepted house occurs when the house is larger than 30 degrees and it accommodates an entire sign. A true interception transpires only when there are at least two houses, each accommodating three signs.

Intercepted houses represent unique celestial energies and transformative dynamics that shape an individual’s spiritual, emotional, and physical well-being. They are confined within a single zodiac sign, creating a unique celestial phenomenon. Unlike regular houses, intercepted signs are fully contained in one house and do not appear on a house cusp. They express themselves in a more indirect and subtle way, using the sign on the cusp as a PR agent.

Intercepted houses indicate a past and present life karmic dynamic, indicating a past-life-karmic failure. Some signs in a horoscope may experience interceptions, a phenomenon where a house exceeds 30 degrees and completely encompasses an entire sign. Intercepted signs refer to the fact that in horoscopes erected for the northern or southern latitudes, the twelve houses are not all evenly spaced at 30 degrees.

An intercepted house contains elements of the sign directly on the cusp and the sign inside, and many have also experienced influences of the third sign. An intercepted sign in an astrological chart is like a room in your house that can only be reached by going through another room. It means that your early environment did not give you the necessary guidance to navigate through the house.

What are the grounded signs in astrology?

Earth signs, Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn, are grounded in practical aspects of life and embody the stable qualities of their element. They are known for their pragmatism, reliability, and strong connection to the physical world. Taurus, a fixed Earth sign, embodies its element’s steadfast and sensual qualities, valuing comfort, beauty, and stability. They value consistency and reliability, demonstrating a patient and determined approach to life. However, their steadfastness can sometimes lead to stubbornness, reflecting their earthy temperament. These signs excel in matters requiring patience and persistence.

What is the meaning of intercepted signal?

The term “receive” is used to describe the act of acquiring a communication or signal in a surreptitious manner, frequently accomplished through the exploitation of an adversary’s vulnerability. In addition, it can signify the act of halting, seizing, or interrupting an ongoing or imminent process, or the portion of a circumference that is intercepted between two radii.

How to work with intercepted signs?

Should a sign be intercepted in one’s astrological chart, it is deemed to be a meaningful occurrence. It is advisable to conceptualise this as a pathway rather than a problematic situation. Given the brevity of one’s lifespan, it is unwise to become enmeshed in complex relationships. It is therefore prudent to cultivate a sense of detachment and non-attachment. Planets in that sign require experience of the world, and it is not possible to restrict them. In addition, there are both positive and negative implications associated with the occurrence of intercepted planets.

How do you unlock intercepted planets?

How do you 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.

What are intercepted nodes in astrology?

Nodes are symbolic interceptions where the Moon’s path crosses the ecliptic, used by ancients to predict eclipses and predict life longevity. They have been used in astrology since the 1st Century BCE, with Indian astrologists using Rahu (North Node) and Ketu (South Node) in their delinations. The Karmic qualities associated with nodes in modern western practice were borrowed from Joytish traditions after Eastern philosphies reached the west in the 20th century.

Many people become interested in astrology after learning about sun signs, as these symbolic points are key in outlining the soul’s purpose and often serve as pillars of destiny when one finds a crossroad in life.

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.

What are blockages in astrology?

Argala, a term in Vedic astrology, refers to the obstruction or impediment that can affect the free flow of planetary influences. It can be modified based on the influences of planets in certain signs, resulting in either positive or negative outcomes. This concept is explored in various texts, including Jyotishtatwam, Hindu Predictive Astrology, Prasana Tantra of Neelakantha, Jataka Tattva, Varshaphal, Jaimini Sutras, and Studies in Jaimini Astrology.

The text book “Varshaphal” by B. V. Raman, published by Raman Publications, Bangalore, provides a comprehensive understanding of the concept of Argala. It also includes a commentary by B. V. Raman on the Jaimini Sutras, which are also available in various other texts. The online Astrology Lesson No. 7 of K. N. Rao discusses aspects in Vedic Astrology, which can be found in pages 53 onwards.

What is the intercepted first house in astrology?

If your Aries/Libra or first/seventh house axis is intercepted in your horoscope, you may have a complex personality that is difficult to understand. Your lifestyle may change significantly, often linked to marriage, divorce, or partnership, leading to profound transformations. Partnerships are crucial as they provide the necessary stimulus. At least once, an adversary will have a profound impact on you, changing your worldview forever. This experience can help you understand the true meaning of friendships from those who stand by you during times of need.

If your Taurus/Scorpio or second/eighth house axis is intercepted, you will view money and possessions in a compulsive manner. You will earn money at an early age and acquire wealth in various ways, as you are not content with just one source of income. You may also change your career at least once, which may lead to a financial depression as you work on establishing yourself in your new line of work.

What is intercepted Scorpio and Taurus?

Intercepted arcs are a type of astrological sign that can be found in various houses in a person’s natal chart. They can indicate problems or difficulties, changes in a person’s life, and the impact on their life.

Intercepted arcs can occur in multiple houses, but they are not always problematic. They can change due to planetary transits and remain fixed throughout a person’s life. The first house that presents challenges related to personal identity is the 1st House, while the 2nd House, 5th House, 8th House, and 11th House may indicate financial issues.

Astrologers interpret intercepted arcs by focusing on the ruling planet of the intercepted sign, emphasizing the aspects between the intercepted planets and other chart factors, disregarding intercepted arcs as insignificant, or analyzing the intercepted house alone. They are a universal concept in all astrological systems.

Intercepted arcs can reveal untapped abilities or potential, but they have no significance beyond their cusp positions. For example, the 3rd House might indicate communication challenges for individuals with an intercepted arc, while the 4th House might face challenges related to home, family, or sense of belonging.

In summary, intercepted arcs can indicate hidden talents or potential, but they are not always problematic. They can also indicate challenges related to communication, finances, and communication. Astrologers interpret intercepted arcs by focusing on the ruling planet of the intercepted sign, emphasizing the aspects between intercepted planets and other chart factors, disregarding intercepted arcs as insignificant, or analyzing the intercepted house alone.

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.

What are intercepted signs in houses?

What are intercepted signs in houses?

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.

  • Meredith, this is the best explanation of interceptions I have ever heard. Thank you so much. When I first learned about interceptions, I looked back at my early childhood and remembered that I had a lot of close friends and associates who were Aries ( I have an Aries-Libra interception in my 12th and 6th Houses). My two cousins and a family friend were all Libras. After I became a teenager, those relationships seemed to leave, either we outgrew one another, they moved away or they died. I thought that since my Aries-Libra energy was intercepted internally that maybe it was expressed externally by these other people in my life at that time. Also, I lack the element of fire in my natal chart but have planets in the fire houses. Just a theory.

  • Interception 4th house saggittarius with Saturn and Uran and 10th house Gemini Lilith and Chiron. Well, I can say my parents never belive in my skills, even pedagogist and teachers, everytime was “you can not go to this school, do/get this job, do this and this or go out its dangerous or risk”, i have never been enough smart for them or they dont belive in myself. After Saturn return i went to do Phd in material engineering and nanotechnology, took a risk to start live like I want, took action to get real my dreams being a programmer and since 7 years I’m 🙂 Everything that they said i can not I did it! Im worth.

  • YES! Please do a Princess Diana deep dive!!! Taurus Sun here. I’ll be making your grilled cheese! Update: I made the grilled cheese. I added salami because we had some left over. Wow! I am a convert with the salt, the butter/olive oil. Super crispy. I made my own rosemary bread, but I need to kick it up a little more! <3 Thank you. Quick meal!

  • Wow!! Virgo .. I’ve been resourceful ever since I can remember. Though I struggle so much with communication. I’ve always blamed then bluntness of my sag moon. Lol. But Pisces… I’ve struggled with depression since I was little. Always wanting to go home… I don’t belong here. Thought that was my aqua rising but also have struggled with escapism. I seem to manage to dig myself out but sheesh. No my life isn’t what I ideally would like. Parts of it is but always feel like it’s so impossible to get there especially since it doesn’t follow the norm. Thanks for this.

  • Great website you have here, great wealth of knowledge and wisdom. Thank you for all of that. I have the sun, moon, mercury and Uranus in Scorpio intercepted in the 6th house, mercury rules my chart (Gemini rising), Chiron is at the other end in the 12th house in Taurus, opposite the moon. When you talked about intimacy issues with Scorpio, it gave me another perspective on my chart, there’s a theme about lack of intimacy, authentic connections, and emotional detachment. North node in the 4th house, struggle to get in touch with your emotions. You can’t get intimate if you’re not in touch with your emotions, if you don’t let yourself be vulnerable enough to possibly experience loss or gain. there’s more stuff but I want to make it short. Thanks again.

  • I am trying to find the article you speak of for members only that talks about the planet and house interceptions but I can’t find them. You are flipping amazing!!! I will be attending one of your retreats. I missed the 1st one but I will be there for 2nd FOR SURE! You are doing what you are meant to do and helping so many people. Love it!

  • Thank you for sharing! It resonates a lot for me with 1st house Pisces/7th Virgo interception with Mars and Jupiter in Pisces. I have become so much more dilegant post Saturn return but still some of those negitiave aspects creep up! It’s something I’m working on since I have Nodal return coming soon in Aries 😀 can’t wait.

  • Another amazing article! Thank you. My daughter and I both have Pisces and Virgo intercepted. Her 6th/12th houses and my 1st/7th. I’ve studied and read about interceptions, but the way you explain things just makes sense✨🍄✨Fantastic Fungi is one of the best movies I’ve ever seen! Love Paul Stamets and his knowledge he continues to share. (Also can’t wait to make that grilled cheese!😋)

  • Thank you very much for the article! NObody said that but you. I have pisces intercepted in my 1 house 🙁 and i really feel depressed about not letting my dreams come true. And i have virgo intercepted in my 7th house and my moon is in virgo square Saturn. Hard work. I do criticize much and nothing(and nobody) is up to my level of satisfaction. I am single. And I am grateful for your advices which i’ll take into consideration definitely.

  • oh my………….. I have taurus-scorpio intercepted in the 11th-5th houses. the other day I was thinking why do I have such a complicated relationship with groups, with people, with light-hearted activities, with having fun, I have few friends — few friends but time-tested! like I have a 30+ years friendship and a 19 years friendship that matter a lot to me, I trust them wholeheartedly — but I don’t trust people at all unless I’ve seen a lot of them, like the saying goes, “you can’t know a person until you’ve eaten two ponds of salt together”, and I also don’t trust myself to treat people well consistently, I’m so demanding, I tear down my groups and friends consistently by walking away and disconecting.

  • Dearest Meredith, Love your work. I do understand that you enjoy it and care for people. From an Aquarius (3 planets) and Pisces ascendant I do like your astrology where there are so much to learn and as you say ” it’s gonna be deep, real and raw” BUT I DO HAVE 1 SINGLE QUESTION: From all the persons who cannot join or don’t have money. What about them? For example: this particular article, several persons have planets intercepted. What about them? I come from background of science and currently doing PhD. I takes a toll on me to hear the articles. But my Mercury in Aquarius pushes me to hear since I find them really deep. Please from all the people I plead make the articles that really matters to them… free of cost This is not from me… for the sake of all people or please do it for humatarian ground. I think you will do it if you deeply care for people

  • I‘ve been learning to understand and deal with my interceptions. Sun and Mercury in Pisces intercepted in the 1st. Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and Lilith intercepted in Virgo in the 7th. 😅 It has not been easy, especially my Pisces Sun and Mercury never felt like they had a right to come out. Never felt understood or appreciated.

  • I have intercepted Libra in 4th/ aries10th house . I believe and I tell others that u must always value urself ( I have afflicted moon in Leo 2nd house) no matter what. I do have independent thinking and I’m smart sometimes lol. Still working through this energy. My double signs is Leo 2-3 house & aquarius 8-9th house. Can u do a article on duplicate signs ? And my damn sun is intercepted .. in Libra 4th house. Childhood and career opposite house 10. I have pisces midheaven . Libra sun cancer rising Leo moon. Scorpio 5th house stellium with north node there. I’m also experiencing my Saturn return at 28. 😮

  • I appreciate you so much🙏🏻 I just ordered your packages and probably need to book a reading. I have Pisces Virgo axis intercepted which includes sun, moon mercury, Saturn and Jupiter all intercepted. 😳I feel quite emotional about this realization. I’m studying to be an astrologer🙌🏻 in addition mercury, Saturn, Jupiter, mars and Uranus all retrograde. I could use your expertise and guidance of how to interpret🙌🏻

  • Hello Meredith! Thank you for making this article…it’s difficult to find good info on interceptions… I myself have a intercepted Aries -Libra. 1st & 7th house…Aries has Ceres and Eris, however the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Pluto all in libra (7th) I’ve been struggling to know what all that may say, especially now that the nodes will be moving in to those areas for me. Again thank you tho for your gift.

  • My capricorn rising 17 year old son has a gigantic 1st house with intercepted aquarius… Neptune and Chiron are there. Saturn is in his intercepted 7th house in Leo. He has been diagnosed autistic… he has started refusing going to school in 2019 and since 2020 he went outdoors a dozen times max 😢… he’s a Taurus sun… the only times he interact with friends it’s when he plays online… he nearly doesn’t talks to me 😢

  • 💙🌏💙🌎💙🌍💙YES….investigate Princess Diana’s chart, Please…..💙as a young person traveling Europe to India and back… somehow I felt very much and thought I had to live like Hemingway… I have Venus-n-Mars conj. and also nearly a Full Moon🦅makes sense💙so interesting🦋PS… also doing a full look @ Ernest’s chart would never interesting … also looking at his relationship with those radical 2 partner-ladies in Paris before WW2(can’t think of their names)🦅🙋‍♀️PSS… movie…FANTASTIC FUNGI… brilliant movie…Paul Stamets teacher for our times💙🌍💙🌎💙🌏💙🦅

  • I unintentionally paused this at 44:44. ☺️ Aries/libra intercepted 5/11. North node in 3rd in Leo with my duplicated signs in Leo on third/4th and Aquarius on 9th/10th. Is it accurate to begin to activate intercepted- focus on sign house of the planet ruled by intercepted sign? My Jupiter conjunct Saturn (super tight) is in the interception along with Pluto.

  • So, mine is real crazy. Im a Scorpio Ascendant at 27 degrees but my scorpio also starts the 12th house. My pluto is 20 degrees scorpio so conjuct my ascendant, and my Capricorn and and Cancer are intercepted. My Neptune and Uranus are conjunct in Capricorn second house and Neptune sextiles my Pluto. Then I have Mars in Cancer 8th house minor aspect in (pretty sure quincunx.) Pluto.

  • It’s Viv is there a article on the intercepted sign ; planets, I have moon in Gemini intercepted with Lilith conjunct. and mercury in sag opposite and I think my work is to communicate, I have developed writing skills as well as former teaching and seek more direction, which to focus on. Also my Vertex in the 5th anti vertex the 11th.

  • My 19 year old son has his 11th house of Aquarius and fifth house of Leo intercepted he has so many different astrological challenges. I don’t know how to begin helping him. I’ve always been fascinated with astrology, but just relatively recently been able to figure it out and I’m still trying to learn But in the fifth house, he has moon at 24° Jupiter at 29° in the sun at 3° in his 11,000 he has Neptune retrograde as well as Uranus retrograde, so he is an Aries rising, and he also has mars retrograde in the 12th house Anyway, is this some thing that I can talk to you or someone about so that I can then maybe help him ?

  • I am seriously confused I have 3 interceptions. That’s 6 signs. Pluto sun Venus Mercury moon Uranus and Mercury North Node chiron Neptune. I live in scotland and I born at te wrong time it seems lol. Started counciling today for my life trauma. Time for a specific reading on this. Need to book a reading soon. No-one else is talking about this subject

  • I have Sagittarius intercepted in my 6 House. Doctors nearly killed me 2 Times and manipulated my documents, so that no one would believe me. Im getting sicker and sicker and no one helps me, because of these documents. Would it help if I visit a Doctor in another Country? I don’t have much money, but maybe this is the solution.

  • Queen Elizabeth I has one in pisces and Queen Victoria has 2 interceptions in her chart (scorpio and pisces), if I’m doing this correctly. Queen Elizabeth II has 2 as well. I would love to see you do a article on the long reigning queens of England. I just love your depth and work. Well, almost as much as I love history, lol!😄

  • I might as well kill myself… kidding. Check what I have. Aries intercepted by Pisces in the 3rd house total 60º, and Libra intercepted. Aries has the following in degrees: North Node 0º, Chiron 4º, Venus 13º, Moon 24º, Sun 26º, Saturn 28º Libra: Uranus 0º No wonder I’m living in a shotgun shack in the bush, broke, no friends or family and unemployed. And I’m a starseed. Life long purging and integrating.
