What does it mean if your Leo is intercepted in the 10th House?

Answer 1

Intercepted signs may suggest a second approach to dealing with the affairs of a given house. A person with Leo intercepted in the 10th house tends to be nurturing and protective of others. They may seek a career in which they render care to others they find helpless. However even thought they may spend a lot of time rendering service to others they really would like to shine and be praised and admired for their own creative self-expression. They are likely to be very charming and dramatic individuals once one gets to know them. They have a need for stability in their lives, but a contrasting wild side that never wants to be tied down.

Answer 2

Various astrologers have differing opinions on the meaning of intercepted houses/signs; namely because it is a variable that changes based on the house system used.

Some believe that an intercepted house is rather reticent, but only expresses itself in a negative, explosive manner: A person with Leo intercepted in the 10th house (Aquarius intercepted in the 4th house)upon first glance may have a strong desire for stability and enjoy nurturing others, but when one gets to know them they find that the native is actually rather rebellious and individualistic, with a constant need for admiration.

Some believe that the intercepted sign and houses indicate an element that was missing from the native's early life: The native may have not received much admiration or approval for their creative efforts as children. The native may have had excessively strict, disciplinary parents that did not allow them to grow and express themselves as individuals. As a result in adult life the native tends to suppress their own inner child, creativity and individuality for fear of rejection. Instead they may take an overly critical attitude toward domestic and career manners.
