_____ Intercepted Planets in general
Intercepted planets are planets in intercepted signs; signs that do not have a house cusps. Intercepted planets may have a harder time expressing their energies. For instance, if Mars is in an intercepted sign, the native may find it challenging to assert themselves or take initiative in areas governed by that sign.

_____ Intercepted Planets in Secondary Progressed Chart Signs

We will focus on Secondary Progressed Planets entering and leaving intercepted signs in the Secondary Progressed chart. Intercepted planets in a progressed horoscope can indicate times when areas of life where energy is blocked or unexpressed, potentially leading to challenges in personal development and health. This can manifest as psychological frustrations that may also affect physical well-being, suggesting a need to address these hidden aspects for growth.
