Intercepted Sign

A sign contained entirely within a house without touching either cusp, common at high latitudes with Placidus houses.

What is Intercepted Sign?

An intercepted sign is swallowed whole by a house—it does not appear on any house cusp. This occurs with quadrant house systems like Placidus at higher latitudes where houses become unequal in size. The intercepted sign's qualities and any planets within it are harder to access, often expressing with delay or requiring conscious effort to activate. Interceptions always come in pairs across the chart axis. Some astrologers view them as hidden resources that emerge later in life.

How TriAstra Uses Intercepted Sign

TriAstra detects intercepted signs when using Placidus houses and notes them as areas of delayed expression, switching to Porphyry houses above 66 degrees latitude where extreme interceptions occur.

What Intercepted Sign Means for You

Intercepted signs in your chart represent qualities that may take longer to develop or express. They are not missing—just hidden, often emerging more fully in adulthood.
