“The intercepted house polarity is the part of consciousness that the native feels like a complete failure about, when it is in fact the part of themselves that is developing the most.” - Barbara Hand Clow from Chiron
For those who have interceptions, it can feel quite painful. When one has an interception in the natal chart, they can feel a strong void and lack of access to a certain area of life (house) and archetypal energy (sign) due to the limiting environment they grew up in. Due to this, there’s a strong need to constantly improve the situation in regards to the interception. When you have an interception in your chart, you are constantly called by a strong internal lacking feeling to improve a certain area of life regardless of the progress you make with it.
