This discussion was begun on another thread - it may have been one on Chiron, I'm not sure - but for me, it needs to have a thread of its own. On this other thread EJ53 said something like: (and pardon me if I paraphrase badly, and miss the point entirely...)
When signs are intercepted, they have a need for the native to work on them and `bring them - and any planets in these signs - out into the open'; to be expressed. This is not usually possible until the issues represented by the duplicated signs - and houses - are resolved and brought into balance.
Now I don't have any intercepted signs on my natal chart, but I thought I'd use the chart of astrologer, teacher and writer, Barbara Hand Clow - and whilst I don't have her express permission to chat here about her chart, it is openly displayed in her book on Chiron, which I have open on the desk next to me as I write this.....
Her intercepted signs are Sag (in 4th) and Gemini (10th), along with - also in the 10th house, Saturn conj Uranus in Gem, and moon in Gemini. As a prominent writer and teacher, it seems obvious to me that she's expressing that Gemini intercepted sign, and her Saturn, Uranus conj gives her that ability to use her naturally occurring intuition to put complex and sometimes very original ideas into concrete form.
Sag intercepted in the 4th - she and husband, Gerry have moved to Canada from US - not sure if that's relevant, but sounds Sagittarian to me!
The duplicated signs are Aquarius & Leo, on 6th, 7th & 12th, 1st. Significant in those houses are her sun conj south node close to the 7th house cusp, and Chiron conj north node on her Asc - ASC is 29 deg Leo. This describes one who has to step out of the comfort zone and declare herself and her intentions in a public way - teaching, writing, running workshops. Her moon in Gemini is also in sextile to the conjunction on her ASC.
As one who has read all her books (but one) I can say that she's had to progressively do all the above. It's as though as she goes out on one limb, the next one appears for her. She's a very interesting, but at times quite way-out, writer.
She's also experienced personal pain and struggle, as 2 of her 4 children have died - one by accident, and the other through suicide.
