In an astrological chart, an intercepted sign happens when a sign is entirely confined within one of the houses and does not appear on the house’s cusp. When one sign is intercepted, the opposite sign is also intercepted. When there is an interception, the two houses affected will show a dual form of energy, as stated by the cusp sign and the intercepted sign. As an example, my Ascendant is Pisces, and it is placed on the cusp of the first house, with the sign Aries intercepted in it. The sign Virgo is placed on the cusp of my opposing seventh house, with the sign Libra interrupted here. Both Pisces and Aries have a strong influence on my first house characteristics. Virgo and Libra are the signs that represent my seventh house of partnerships.
Interception has a variety of interpretations among astrologers. Our intuition stimulates an intercepted sign, according to my idea. We have the opportunity to get creative with intercepted signs.
What does it indicate when a planet takes up residence in an intercepted sign? In the same manner, our intuition tries to assist our mind in tuning into the most harmonic methods to channel energy productively.
If you have a planet in an intercepted sign, the following is a roadmap to help you better navigate your way forward. Consider a planet in an intercepted sign in your horoscope as a gift, however it will take some time. Why? Because intercepted planets behave in the same way as retrograde planets. Before it can be manifested outwardly, energy must first go inward. Our intuition serves as a portal into the essence of a planet that has been intercepted.
- Sun: If your Sun is in an interrupted sign in your horoscope, you may not feel the fiery planet’s customary outgoing energy on a regular basis. The typical Sun energy expression rhythm is to take pleasure in observing the world respond to your willpower. You will find immense creative force if you get adept at tuning into your intuition. Your objectives may take longer to achieve than you thought. You might need a push from others now and again to get the momentum you need to see a plan through. It’s possible that taking that first step in a new path can instill the confidence you require. Allowing your intuition to direct your creative self to make decisions that provide harmony and fulfillment is the challenge.
- Moon: If your Moon is in an intercepted sign (like mine, which is in Aries), your moods are more closely tied to your intuition than those who do not have an intercepted Moon. When you have an intercepted sign, your lunar instincts are probably more sensitive to other people’s feelings. Because the Moon is associated with home, it is critical to choose the correct geographical place to provide a sense of inner harmony while it is intercepted. This is because your intuition will help you find the relationships and outlets for your emotional needs more easily. The Moon that has been intercepted has a magical way of leading you to events that heal old inner wounds and ease the sorrow of others.
- Mercury: When Mercury is in an interrupted sign, your perceptions are contemplative and typically driven by intuition. Mercury is associated with our left-brain perspective of the world. Mercury is intercepted and navigates through life with an insatiable curiosity. A creative spark might be sparked by a dreaminess or extrasensory manner of perceiving. An interrupted Mercury is more interested in getting shocked by unexpected encounters than in the mundane. Others may be perplexed by your lack of spontaneous action on ideas, but it is the interrupted Mercury style of finding the appropriate life routes to be truly distinctive and happy.
- If your Venus is in an interrupted sign, you probably developed an early interest in getting to know others on a deeper level. It’s not always simple to find unique friends and lovers who comprehend your inner worlds. It’s not that you’re difficult to please; rather, you know what you value and refuse to compromise on it. You instinctively sought for a soul mate long before many others did, and you don’t give up easily in your hunt. You have intuitive commercial skills in addition to a keen grasp of what others require of you. Your self-esteem is as important to you as your worldly assets. When others disappoint you, life does not seem fair. Your intuition, on the other hand, is always keeping an eye on you, encouraging you to never lose faith in yourself.
- If your Mars is in an intercepted sign, you have the ability to time your actions in order to achieve the optimum results. Whether you produce good outcomes or not, your intuition is always ahead of your actions. When it comes to pressing an essential strategy, you probably don’t want to face individuals directly. It can be difficult to be assertive. On the other hand, you can surprise yourself and take the initiative in ways you never imagined. You feel more centered when you pay attention to your feelings. Patience with yourself is more difficult than patience with others as a general issue. When you show your creative zeal, you might persuade others to believe in you. You have strong survival instincts that can withstand any challenge.
- Jupiter: If Jupiter is in an interrupted sign, your inner gypsy is always there in your thoughts. Even if you don’t show it, you don’t enjoy being told your aspirations are impossible to achieve. Your intuition encourages you to be a happy person, and it may even inspire you to take a risk. If you get caught up in negativity, you’ll feel like a fish out of water. When people are coping with troubles, they expect you to be there for them. You must be able to say no in order to avoid promising more than you can deliver. When you walk with excitement, you attract good fortune. The route to plenty and harmony is to develop a belief system that represents the true you.
- Saturn: If your Saturn is in an interrupted sign, it displays your inner self-confidence and desire to finish what you start. It’s possible that you’ll have to overcome a fear of criticism. You most likely take accountability seriously. When you learn to trust your own abilities, your intuition grows stronger. When you make good connection choices, allowing individuals to become emotionally close becomes simpler. You’re drawn to someone who values obligations as highly as you do. When you don’t fear failure, you’ll be able to sense the proper professional route. You get to the finish line by learning to take little steps toward a goal.
- If your Uranus is in an interrupted sign, your first thoughts will be on assisting others in becoming authentic people. You eventually learned how important it was to march to the beat of your own drum. You have an independent spirit within you. When you get enthralled by your own ambitions, your intuition leads you to walk your talk with zeal. Others may perceive you as being overly passive at times. You’re probably thinking of this as being cautious until you’re confident that your ideas are clear and will connect with the power you desire. Self-confidence comes from knowing when to compromise and when to stick to your guns. You don’t want to destroy any bridges with your past, but you’re aware that the future may be the thing that sets you free.
- Your principles are kept hidden until you feel they will be acknowledged if your Neptune is in an interrupted sign (like mine, which is Libra). You’re aware that emotions have a lot of power. When it comes to determining who you will actually allow to know you, you rely heavily on your intuition, whether you realize it or not. Spirituality is a crucial topic for you since you have a deep instinct that life is a mystical experience. The collective unconscious is always trying to get you to connect with symbols. Your existence is a dichotomy in that you seek purpose on a physical level while yet understanding that your greatest enjoyment is found in your belief system. As you embark on a mission to find your own answers, people look to you for answers to their deepest questions. Finding a soul partner and having experiences that express your highest values provide you the most joy.
- If your Pluto is in an intercepted sign, your intuition will push you to make decisions that can sometimes shock you but also empower you. Your survival instincts are strong, and if you stay calm, you can manage any situation. Some people think you’re charismatic, but you think you’re quiet. When you believe in something, your words have a huge impact on others. When you forgive others, you feel better, but you stay stronger when you don’t forget their poor actions. Allowing yourself to let go of old issues allows you to pursue your creative drive. You have a proclivity for extensively processing life situations. It’s liberating to know when to stop reflecting and when to move forward with conviction. You are devoted to those you care about and expect the same in return. You place a high priority on finding people you can trust.
The Nodes of the Moon are not planets; they are chart symbols that provide crucial information about why we incarnated and what we came here to learn on a soul level. A North Node and a South Node of the Moon are opposite each other in your chart by sign and house position.
What does it mean in your chart if the Moon’s Nodes are in intercepted signs? One significant aspect is that your intuition reminds you of why you came into this world on a daily basis. When you try to transcend your karmic patterns on a more conscious level, your soul awareness is stimulated.
Whether the nodes are in intercepted signs or not, relationships are a major way that this dynamic polarity is activated. Relationships have a way of awakening crucial goals that are part of your soul evolutionary path if your nodes are in intercepted signs. Your intuition finds it easier to keep you in the highway lanes that lead to greater abundance and soul growth when you are in balanced marriages. When the Moon’s Nodes are in an interrupted sign, they will try to steer you away from relationships that are interfering with your path to harmony.
Listen to your intuition if planets or the Nodes of the Moon are in intercepted signs, as it can help you traverse life with a vibrant spirit. Don’t be afraid to make poor decisions. It is often in the midst of adversity that our intuitive abilities are revealed. Intercepted indications hold intuitive treasure that can provide us with great clarity and an inner compass that will lead us to great growth. Have fun on your adventure!

What is a planet that has been intercepted?
The Houses are as follows, as shown in my friend’s chart:
The 1st House/Ascendant begins in Libra, the 2nd House in Scorpio, the 3rd House in Sagittarius, and the 4th House in Capricorn. Pisces rules the 5th and 6th Houses… The 10th House begins in Cancer, whereas the 11th and 12th Houses begin in Virgo.
Aquarius and Leo are the interrupted signs since no house begins in these signs and the 4th/10th Houses engulf the entire sign. (I’ve scribbled them in a haphazard manner.)
Then there’s the matter of the planets. Planets in those signs are intercepted planets. Uranus and Neptune are in Aquarius, and Mercury is in Leo, in his horoscope. As a result, Uranus, Neptune, and Mercury are the planets that have been intercepted.
Here’s my analysis once you’ve located your intuited signs, houses, and probable planets.
A planet that has been intercepted is still very powerful, and it will exert its influence whenever something makes an aspect to it. It may operate in the background or in a non-obvious manner, but it will still manifest. My Venus in Taurus in the tenth house is blocked, but no one would ever guess it wasn’t a significant influence in my life! Scorpio transits to my 4th house are extremely powerful because they aspect a number of my planets.
We naturally look to the ruler of two cusps to see what “governs” the affairs of those houses, and we will often see similar movement in both areas as the ruler moves through its yearly dance with itself and all the other planets in our charts. Just remember that the outer Invisible Triad of Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto operates on a transpersonal and collective level, and that if we want to understand what’s going on in our personal and interpersonal lives, we must look to the traditional rulers of the signs.
Unless you’re a global force majure, looking at Saturn as ruler of Cap and Aquarius, Jupiter as ruler of Sag and Pisces, and Mars as ruler of Aries and Scorpio will usually give you a better understanding of your personal affairs. Even world rulers and major players are subject to the traditional rulers, despite the fact that their decisions may manifest in the world as Uranian, Neptunian, or Plutonian energies.
So, if interceptions apply in your chart, please take a closer look at how they work, as it’s a very powerful influence even if those signs aren’t on a cusp. Of course, if you think of cusps as zones of influence rather than hard lines in space-time, they could be.
How can you get into a house that has been snatched?
You can access whatever is included in the interception: the intercepted planet, if you find the first key, ruler of the house cusp, and then the second key, ruler of the intercepted sign. This planet also regulates other sections of the horoscope where unlocking the interception will determine your happiness.
