Empty Houses again
Minderwiz, Isthmus or anyone who might know,
This query is related in a peripheral way to the Capricorn thread but I thought I would separate it.
I have no planets in the 2nd, 4th and 7th Houses and no planets on the cusps of any of those houses either. I understand your explanation as given above, and assume that the sign on the cusp of the empty houses has a major influence. I imagine also that planets moving through the houses might have some effect on the concerns of any one house.
In my case Aquarius is the sign on the cusp of my second house so Aquarian attributes would have influenced my sense of identity, the way I regard material possessions and all those other 2nd House concerns. Could there be be some conflict between Cap. influence and Aquarian influences? My life experience seems to support this notion.
It is a little confusing to know what belongs where. Taurus is also the ruler of the 2nd House. How does one work out the relative effects of these various influences? Is where art, intuition and personal experience come in? I imagine so.
One last question. Forgive me if it is terribly obvious but what does INTERCEPT mean? Is intercept when you have an aspect?
The books seem to attribute great power to intercepts.
Thanks for your time. This is actually a really challenging aspect of the learning.
By the way, I got two quite interesting books today: Foundations of personality by Karen Hanaker Zondag which looks at horoscope interpretation in a Jungian framework and The 12th House by the same author, which is self evident and very illuminating.

To take your first question - no planets in a House does not indicate that the House is unimportant - but it is likely to be more easy to analyse. Take the ruler of the sign on the cusp and look at the interactions it makes with other planets through aspects. Also there will be some link between the House that the ruler is in and the House it rules. So if you have an empty tenth House ruled by Mercury in the fourth, there will be some link between career and family or home - such as working from home or being in the family business. If Mercury makes good aspects to other planets then you may well find that career issues are easily dealt with.
