Again referring to the chart of Farrah Fawcett, notice that the 4th house starts at 21° Virgo 38' + 30° of Libra + 2° Scorpio 15 = 40° 37'. And, nearly always, it is the largest house since it contains the greatest number of degrees from cusp to cusp. Often, the house axis containing intercepted signs is the most activated axis in the horoscope. Thus, you can see that the delineation of a house that contains an intercepted sign can become quite complex. In delineating the 4th house all of these factors must be considered. Mercury (ruler of Virgo) rules the cusp of the 4th house Libra is intercepted and thus Venus co-rules this house and Neptune is actually placed there. For example, in the horoscope of Farrah Fawcett (see page 32), the 4th and 10th house axis contains intercepted signs - Libra and Aries respectively. An interception widens the house in which it occurs and therefore complicates the affairs of that house because of the added signs involved. If one house has an intercepted sign, the opposite house will also contain an intercepted sign. In latitudes of more than 50° north or south, two or more signs may be intercepted in one house or there may be two sets of houses with intercepted signs. When this happens some signs are found to be completely contained within a house i.e., the sign does not appear on any cusp, and we refer to these phenomena as interception. Because of the tilt of the Earth on its axis, and its distortion from being a perfect sphere, there is often a variance in house sizes as we move north or south from the Equator.
