Your Hidden Powers: Intercepted Signs and Retrograde Planets

by Joanne Wickenburg, Jack Cipolla (Illustrator), Kris Brandt Riske (Editor)

Both retrograde planets and intercepted signs are included in this well-written, in-depth volume. Joanne defines how they differ and what they indicate in the chart. She also introduces new ideas about retrograde planets and intercepted signs, offering fresh insights for interpretation in these sometimes overlooked areas. Retrograde planets and intercepted signs make the chart unique, and each describes the powers and potentials waiting to be unleashed in your life. In some way you will stand apart from the crowd with an exceptional life that is outside the norm and as unique to you as your birth chart. Not everyone is born with such an outstanding opportunity to realize their individual potential. Included is extensive delineation of intercepted signs in the houses, the six sign polarities, the elements, duplicated signs, phases and planetary pairs. Chapters are also devoted to relocation charts, transits in intercepted signs, the importance of environment vs. destiny and various house systems. In addition to a thorough explanation of how planets retrograde, Joanne gives detailed interpretation of the meaning of retrograde planets in the natal chart and their position in the context of the eight stages of cyclic unfoldment, six of which fall into the retrograde zone. This placement specifically defines how a retrograde planet operates in your life. Also thoroughly explained is the meaning of retrograde planets in their transit cycle, and the significance of a retrograde progressed planet.

For me, it was the missing piece of the puzzle. Great book, insightful, opens the mind rather than closing it further in.

I bought this book on Amazon in December 2021, but started reading it only a year and a half after.
I already have solid basis in astrology and reading this book was a missing puzzle.
The book was published in 1992 (more than 30 yeas ago). The book contains 18 chapters and contains 178 pages.
The book is so well written, there is no negativity but in depth understanding. I learnt a lot.
It took me time to read the book, as there are so useful elements, I needed to reflect, so reading was very slow to me.
I just ordered 2 books from amazon.uk Website, as it seems there are no publication of here older book easily to find and available on Amazon.
A MUST to read and reread!

Excellent look at intercepted signs and retrograde planets. There's a chapter on destiny and environment charts that is really interesting, I hadn't encountered these techniques before. I'd recommend this book to any modern astrologer.

看的書其實是南瓜出版社的「天啊！我的星圖裡有截奪」
看完整本書後我才發現我在學占星的時候的確會把一些星座、行星和宮位搞糊塗，又讀了這個截奪感覺又會混亂。不過作者一直想強調被截奪的行星是仍有這樣的能量，但外界的不允許讓他被困在房間了這樣的感覺。
跟行星的完全沒有發揮或認為做不到是不一樣的感覺。
書寫的非常詳盡，我會選擇重複讀。
