Intercepted ascendent

An friend and I both have 24 degrees of Capricorn rising. Aquarius is a large part of our first house. He says that because Aquarius takes up so much of his first house, he is really an Aquarius rising. I don't agree. What do people think?

The rising sign is the sign on the ascendant.

I agree with Frank and expect most other astrologers would too.

It can be explained if he is in his twenties or thirties.
The progressed Ascendant(See Alan Leo's book) would move in Aquarius in early teens and probably be in Aquarius for 30 yrs or so.
Read about Progressed Ascendant in Aquarius(Progressed Horoscope-Alan Leo).

But, the personality effects apply more to progressed Sun.

Elsewhere, people with Mars in late Capricorn will have progressed Mars in Aquarius(Airy,fixed and a human sign) for most of their adult lives.

But this is out of the box thinking.

I wouldn't have thought Alan Leo was still in fashion..maybe he's so out of date he's come back into fashion.

While I dont think there is any debate about what sign an ascendant falls in I do think this question raises the broader issue of how we deal with intercepted houses in delineation. Arguably, intercepted houses are one of the difficult issues thrown up by any system of quadrant house division.

For example, I know one prominent astrologer who teaches her pupils that all planets in intercepted signs are weaker in effect irrespective of which house they fall in. I am not aware of this idea coming up in traditional sources.

Interesting point.
It would be interesting research on this point that whether the planet manifested itself more forcefully when it progressed out of that intercepted sign.

Not sure if the original question was about a sign intercepted or a sign spanning most of the first house.

Off now till the new year.

I feel that they are like flashing neon arrows that say, "pay attention here." There's something in there (previous life leftover?) that needs to be worked out. I have them in my own chart, and the planets in them are definitely not weak in any way.
