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.

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.
