There are many inquiries I could come up with and probably will but for now what comes to my head is wondering if you have studied or thought much about Interceptions because that is a subject that doesn't get delved into a whole lot by most..

I'd love to hear/read what you think about certain placements in my chart if that is something you are offering too

What do you think about Asteroids and other points and things outside of the main planets and placements? Are there any that you find carry particular importance or influence or how do you feel about them?

Hi Sapphirez!

Thanks for the well wishes in your other post. :) I was just dealing with some changes - good changes - but still draining. I've stabilized a bit, which I'm glad. Though there is still some anxieties, so this provides me with a nice outlet in which to focus my attention elsewhere. Thanks for the advice too! Other than seeing EFT mentioned on these boards I never heard of it. I googled it and read over it briefly, probably something I will be looking into deeper.



TBH this is the first I have heard of interceptions! Thanks for turning me on to it. I did some reading up on it. Naturally I had to check out my own natal chart to see if I have one and I do, of course, just barely too -_- I get all the difficult aspects for some reason.


Interceptions are when a sign is totally enclosed in one house. Making three signs in a single house. It is said that individuals with this aspect have difficulty accessing and expressing that sign and any planets that rest in that house.

(I copy and pasted the following) -In the horoscope of a person, an intercepted sign shows a blockage. The qualities of that sign have difficulty coming out. It is like a room in your house that can only be reached by first going through another room. An interception means that your early environment did not give you the ability to deal with the things ruled by the intercepted signs. The qualities of those signs can get bottled up, repressed. Eventually, the pressure builds to the breaking point and they burst out…usually in ways that are not appropriate.-

Intercepted signs will always come in pairs. Since the intercepted signs in the chart are always going to be opposite one another. They are there to work together to balance each other. They share certain traits, for example both Taurus and Scorpio are possessive, loyal, patient to name a few. However Taurus is more grounded and connected to the material world whereas Scorpio is more intuitive and focused on the spiritual world. Normally there is a channel between the two opposing signs that allows them to balance one another. With intercepted signs this channel is blocked. They cannot balance one another. Having an intercepted sign means you never learned how to express that signs energy and it affects the area of your life that the house governs.

An intercepted Taurus would mean that the individual subconsciously keeps themselves from having anything nice, new, comfortable those sorts. Taurus is ruled by Venus so there was likely a lack of love growing up. They crave that love in the area of their life but don't know how to obtain it.

Having an intercepted Scorpio will display a shadow of the intercepted Taurus. Since you are missing love and value from Taurus, in Scorpio you refuse loss through avoidance and never learn how to cope with it. Losing what they love is hard to bear so they repress it, not knowing how to deal with it.

I'll spare you guys my life story, but after doing some reading on this subject I can look back and see how having intercepted signs affected me throughout my life. I used Scorpio and Taurus as examples since those are my intercepted signs. I can see the difficulties I went through because of this and how I evolved in order to make this painful aspect work in my favor. I'll be honest, as soon as I started researching interceptions and once I realized I had them myself, I worked up a little anxiety over that fact, thinking I now had my work cut out for me, having to focus on my newly discovered interceptions. As I read deeper into it though, I realized I had been working on it all along. The hard part is well behind me, now its just about holding my balance and not letting myself revert back into old mindsets.

So that's my 2 cents on that subject. I can say I believe it to be a legit subject. Sorry if its not as thorough as you might have wanted, but like I said this subject is brand new to me! :) I'm glad you turned me onto it, it's something I'll definitely pay attention to from now on when I am reading charts.


To answer your next question, yes I would be more than happy to look at your chart and give your questions a shot :) You can post them here or PM me, whichever you prefer.


I have always included asteroids when looking up someone's chart. I wouldn't say I am an expert on the subject but I've dabbled here and there. My dad would always dismiss them whenever he was looking at a chart. He said they weren't important but I feel differently. Granted they're not the most important parts of astrology, but they have their purpose. I can absolutely see Chiron's effect in my own chart. Chiron is probably my favorite and the one I am most familiar with. It is called either the "Great Healer" of the Zodiac or the "Wounded Healer." Let me go off on a little tangent and tell you the story of Chiron in Greek Mythology. Chiron was a Centaur, immortal & son of a God. He was blessed with an ability to heal others. He was highly respected and admired, becoming a teacher to those around him, including Hercules and Achilles. One day Chiron was accidentally hit by one of Hercules' poison arrows, inflicting a wound that was incurable. This caused him to be in excruciating pain, so much that he relinquished his immortality. Zeus then placed him up in the sky as the Sagittarius constellation. Chiron's placement in our charts represent the area of our life that we cannot seem to heal as much as we try. It tells of our own capability to channel and process our suffering so that we are able to heal others with similar wounds. Like all asteroids, Chiron must be in close conjunction with planets and/or points in order to fully express its force. (These conjunctions can be applied to all different types of charts, natal, transit, synastry.) For example: You may have a Chiron in your own chart that isn't conjunct anything. You will still have that energy but it is not going to be as strong of an influence in your own personal life as it is for someone with a planet conjunct Chiron. Your Chiron may be brought out more when you are with someone with a planet conjunct your Chiron (or vice versa) They may look to you to fix something about themselves. If you are able to own your Chiron you will be able to help this person overcome the issue they are expressing to you in a helpful, healthy manner. If you have yet to realize your Chiron, you will likely have the desire to help this person but lack the knowledge to do so. This may cause you to put blame on yourself for being unable to help them. You will eventually withdraw from this person once you realize you cannot give them the help they need. It is important for us to know our own Chiron in and out before we are able to help others.


The other asteroids are Pallas, Ceres, Vesta and Juno. I am not too familiar with Pallas or Ceres other than their basic purpose in our charts. I've dabbled a little into Vesta and Juno however. Understanding the mythology behind these asteroids helps in understanding them a little bit better. I am going to skip over these guys though. I don't know enough about them to confidently explain them & after the interception topic I am all researched out for today :-P

Points that I have found to be underrated are the Sun/Moon midpoint and the Vertex.

There is a simple formula that can be used to figure out your Sun/Moon midpoint. If you are interested I can give you the website, or you can just google it which is probably easier lol.

I copy & pasted the following -----> The Sun Moon Midpoint in astrology, and more specifically in the natal chart, is a highly sensitive and personal point. It is a mathematical point–the point midway (or exactly halfway) between the Sun and the Moon.

Inherent in the symbolism of the Sun/Moon midpoint is the desire for companionship. The Sun/Moon midpoint represents a point of “inner marriage” and symbolizes close personal relationship. This point is very important in any kind of relationship analysis, in addition to natal chart work.

In synastry, the Sun/Moon midpoint is very often activated by the other person’s personal planet in significant relationships. If another person’s personal planet, and especially the Sun or Moon, forms an aspect such as the ones referred to above, that person represents some kind of promise of integration to the Sun/Moon midpoint owner. Whether or not integration actually happens, this synastry connection offers a promise which can be difficult to resist. Therefore, it is a strong indicator of attraction. Many astrologers assert that significant relationships that lead to marriage or a similar commitment contain at least one of the following interchanges in synastry: one person’s Sun aspecting the other’s Moon, and/or one person’s personal planet aspecting the other’s Sun/Moon midpoint.

The promise of the Sun/Moon midpoint (an ‘alchemical’ blend of contrasting energies) is that with careful observation and use, one can find the source of happiness in one’s life – most commonly in our closest relationships.

In order to fully understand the Sun/Moon midpoint (abbreviated as Su/Mo) in all its glory, one has to first know the Sun and the Moon attributes prior to blending them together. We all know their respective keywords, but these bear repeating in the context of this article.

The Sun is the sole light-giver in our solar system; the basic energy of being; the light. It is our consciousness, self-awareness; willpower and individuation.

The Moon is instincts, emotional reflexes and responses; psychic perceptions and precognition; it is a container (mother and family) and a medium; and it is also the past and the past life and therefore the reason you were born (especially by its placement by degree and condition in the horoscope).
Together they are referred to as The Luminaries. A ‘luminary’ by dictionary definition is: a natural light-giving body or a person who inspires or influences others.

“A person” …thus maybe someone you can find in a relationship?

So if the Su/Mo is created out of the blend of the two luminaries, does their midpoint in the horoscope identify the person (or kind of person) who would make you happiest?

Yes, I think it does, because by their union this point shows itself to be the ‘inner marriage’ of Sun and Moon.

After all: the Sun is our essential life force and vitality and the Moon is our habit patterns and emotional needs. Furthermore, the Sun represents our father, or male energy; and the Moon represents our mother, or feminine energy. And as parents and family provide the earliest role models, then it follows that we are looking for a similar type of person in life to relate to.

So, together, the Su/Mo is the blending of the yang and the yin, the animus and the anima, the masculine and the feminine – for their strongest combined expression.

This midpoint represents the synthesis of one’s ego expression and emotional energy, creating the inner marriage that manifests as your closest relationships.

The Su/Mo is also very active in predictive astrology, so be sure to follow it by the transits, progressions and directions that it already has had and will follow in the future. You’ll see how it plays an active role in relationship beginnings, changes and endings.

Once you’ve worked out your own Su/Mo interpretation, begin to look at your relationships with others. As you will see, in marriage astrology and relationship astrology, the Su/Mo is an extremely sensitive point.


Sorry, I kind of phoned that one in. I haven't done much reading on that particular subject since 2012, but it left a impact on me.

For me I have my Sun in Sagittarius and my Moon is directly opposite in Gemini. Which puts my Sun/Moon midpoint in Virgo. Virgo is a vacant sign in my chart other than that. It stuck with me because the man I was engaged to and living with at that time and had been in a turbulent on again/off again relationship for over 6 years was (well is..he's still alive) a Virgo. There had always been a very intense pull throughout the relationship. Until I was about 16 or 17 I had never experienced a crush or feelings towards anyone. To be honest I questioned my sexuality for a bit. When I was 16 I started my first job and had the hots for a coworker my age who is a Virgo. The attraction was mutual but never really went anywhere due to my shyness and fear of intimacy. However I still carried a torch for him throughout my time working there. Once I turned 18 I left that job and the crush just kind of dissipated. I was free emotionally for the next 9-10 months or so, happy to live without the dramas that came with a relationship. That all changed when I met the aforementioned Virgo with whom I was engaged to. I swear the moment I saw him I was drawn to him like a moth to a flame. I had never experienced an attraction like that. I was absolutely infatuated with him right from the start. A few months later we started a relationship which went on painfully over the next 10-11 years until 2016. I swore I would never involve myself with another Virgo after the craziness he had brought into my life. At the very end of 2015/beginning of 2016 I had started a new job and had one foot out the door, away from that toxic relationship. No sooner than that I bumped into my Twin Flame at the new job. You guessed it - another Virgo! So much for never involving myself with another one of them. He has restored my love and appreciation for what was injured in the previous relationship.


Ok well that is it for me. Not sure if any of that was insightful but I had fun. Hopefully I was able to provide some answers to your questions <3
