An intercepted sign in an astrological chart occurs when a sign is totally contained in one of the houses and does not appear on the cusp of a house. When a sign is intercepted, the sign opposite it will be intercepted as well. When there is an interception the two houses having this influence will display a dual type of energy as expressed by the sign on the cusp and the intercepted sign. As an example, in my own chart I have Pisces as my Ascendant placed on cusp of first house with the sign Aries intercepted in my first house. My opposite seventh house has Virgo placed on cusp of seventh house with the sign Libra intercepted here. My first house personality is expressed through both ...
"Once in a Blue Moon." You've probably heard the saying. You may even understand that it means something rare, something that doesn't happen frequently. This phrase was intriguing enough that respected composers Rodgers and Hart wrote a song about it in 1934, which has been covered many times over the years and is still a classic.

At times the Moon appears to be in front or on top of the Earth, and at times it appears to be behind or under it. The front node is the north node, and the back node is the south node. ...
Imagine looking up in the sky one night and seeing a half-dozen or more moons. A few are big and appear as a disk, but others are smaller and, while bright, look more like the planet Venus. One of them zips through the skies, rising in the west and setting in the east! One pair of moons are in resonance—they meet up at the same time every few days. Another moon rises at the same time every day. These weird sightings are not so far out; things like this do happen on other planets.
