How do these function? I've researched and it may just be me but the interpretations seem blurry. I can't quite put the pieces together.

It depends on the individual chart. 4th and 10th can represent either parent in my experience with the 4th=mother if sun is below horizon. If sun is above horizon 4th can represent father unless it is in 10th and/or conjunct/parallel MC.

You would ask about that would you! Haha ... Most astrologers also have a poor or fuzzy understanding of this. Interceptions mean a house pair is widened to engulf an entire sign.

In no way is it a debility or 'bad omen'. Such interceptions bring emphasis to the house pair with more emphasis on one end if there are (more) planets there. Otherwise, the best way of thinking of the dynamic is that the earlier house (below horizon) sets up or initiates the emphasis.

1st-7th interception = Teamwork, leadership, relating of self to others, or conversely relating of others to self; putting the body into one's work.

2nd-8th int. = Resources, sharing and gains; capital investment, sharing or managing of resources -- material or psychological (or psychic).

3rd-9th int. = Information exchange; teaching, editing, writing, speaking, publishing, travel, communications (vocal music); sometimes philosophy or theoretical sciences.

4th-10th int. = Leadership, taking early life experience (4th) and turning it into benefits for society (10th).

5th-11th int. = Performing arts or creative output for audience; entrepreneurship, or other risk-taking ventures.

6th-12th int. = Service, especially public service or medical/health; sometimes philosophy or artistry that is essentially a response to collective consciousness in search of collective resolution.

It is best not to blur things by trying too hard to interpret according to sign on cusp and sign wholly contained within the house. Just look at what sign is on the cusp for the planetary signifciator (ruler).

I see so if the Sun is below the horizon then 4=mother and 10=father? Then vice versa? What's the reasoning behind it?

I'd never considered this until I read it in The Rulership Book by Rex Bills. If you are into the serious study of astrology for vocation or research you should have this book.
