As birth places get further away from the Equator, those differences in house width become more extreme. All circles are of course composed of 360°, so if one house is only 25° wide, another house is going to have to take up the slack. The math precludes interception since no house is wide enough to completely swallow a sign.īut in all the other systems of house division, the houses vary in width. Similarly, in the Equal house system, all houses are thirty degrees wide. Many astrologers nowadays are drawn to the old ways, using houses systems like Equal houses or "whole sign houses" in which no interceptions are possible, since, if you have Gemini rising, everything in Gemini is treated as being “in the first house.” Houses and signs are conflated in the whole sign system, so interception is simply not relevant. Let me start by saying that in some systems of house division, interception is just not possible. When a sign is completely swallowed up by a house – never touching a house cusp, in other words – it is said to be “intercepted.” I get a lot of questions about that astrological situation so I thought it would be a good topic for a newsletter.
