We were discussing sign interceptions the other day. I was just doing some research for Friday’s horoscope and was visiting the site of Martha Lang Wescott, my beloved colleague. I found this page on interceptions<\/a><\/strong>. She takes a psychological approach to the subject. She is suggesting that interceptions describe where and how we let the needs of others creep up on our own need for wholeness. The house that is ‘trapped’ in the interception is the place we cannot access.<\/p>\n

I will say this: in the many discussions of house systems I have heard, I have never heard mentioned the issue of where the interceptions fall, if they do. In my chart I get interceptions of Aries\/Libra in Koch houses (in 4th 10th) and Gemini\/Sagg in Placidus\/Topocentric houses (in 6th 12th). I personally prefer Koch (for other reasons, most of them intuitive) and I would say that Martha’s ideas hold up pretty well; I am in a helping profession and that means making room for the material of a lot of people, in both my public and private lives (4th\/10th). So her idea passes the first sniff test.<\/p>\n

The interesting thing is that when I cast a chart where the interceptions fall along 6th 12th, they tell a similar story of work\/profession (6th house) and private affairs (12th house). This is one of many demonstrations of how shifting methods gives a similar message.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

To work out the theme of an interception, she suggests that you cast a chart including a full set of minor planets and pay attention to the planets immediately before and after the interception and see what story that tells. These are the energies that guard the “room within the room” that the interception represents. I’ll try it in my chart and let’s see if it makes sense.<\/p>\n

In Koch houses we would need to look at 10th house:<\/p>\n

Last planet in Pisces = Kassandra\/Urania conjunction
\nFirst planet in Aries = Pandora
\nLast planet in Aries = Phaethon
\nFirst planet in Taurus = Ceto\/Photographica conjunction<\/p>\n

and 4th house<\/p>\n

Last planet in Virgo = Apollo (asteroid) or Apollon (uranian point)
\nFirst planet in Libra = Klotho
\nLast planet in Libra = Ixion
\nFirst planet in Scorpio = Memoria<\/p>\n

Now, I have to think about this for a while and tell you what I come up with.<\/p>\n

I learned something about interceptions from Barbara Hand Clow as well. She suggested that you ask the client to make a list of “my worst failures,” and when they do that, ask them to cross off the title and call it “my greatest successes.” That will tell you the story of the interception. I never found that method to fail — not once. It’s a great counseling method that qualifies as positive reinforcement, shifting perspectives and claiming one’s victories.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
