If you use seven planets, you need bigger orbs. I use whole sign configurations, but not every traditional astrologer does that. Also most description of planets in signs and houses are very short, for example Saturn in XI according to Abu Ali signifies ''anxiety and pain from friends, hindrance of things wished for.'' - translation from James Holden. I wonder if you are ok with a sentence for placement by sign and by house, because that is all I can offer either. So for example:
1) The Sun - Light, Reputation, Father
2) The Sun is the light and fire of the universe, beauty, mind, might, reputation, success and action. It signifies authority, judgement, motion, friendship, the father, public matters, rank, intelligence and honor. Men born under the influence of the Sun are bright, with a fine figure and manly eyes, youthful, given to walking, insightful and given to premonitions, truthful, inventive and secure. It also signifies the King, the High Priesthood, leadership, notable figures and harvest. In medical astrology, it signifies the circulatory system, the nervous system, the eyesight and the right eye in particular. It signifies gold, yellow colour, bitter taste, the Chakra Anahata and the Sephiroth Tiphareth.
3) Sun in Capricorn - bold, boastful, spendthrift, ambitious and it signifies an infirmity for the father.
4) Sun in the bound of Saturn - vicissitudes, burdened, difficult, wealth and it signifies an infirmity for the father. (it would be more correct to say if it rules the Lot of the Father or if the Lot of the Father is poorly placed, otherwise everyone born in the same month will have an injured father)
5) Sun in the 4th House - discovery of buried treasures, revelation of secret and hidden things and arts, praise, dignity.
6) Conjunction with Jupiter
7) The Sun with Jupiter in the same sign signify vigor, wealth and eminence, but also uncertainty, pretentiousness and hostility, especially if Jupiter happens to be setting under the beams.
Using this cookbook model we can't place the properties of the signs.
Edit: What about the following:
1) Description of the Planet
2) Description of the Sign (it is not very long and the user can add interpretation himself)
3) Placement by sign (and bound?)
4) Placement by house
5) Aspects by Whole Signs or using Orbs - http://www.skyscript.co.uk/gl/moiety.html, although I personally prefer aspects by signs, the approach of orbs developed in the mid-late Middle Ages. Out-of-sign aspects also begin to appear for the first time in the works of Abraham ibn Ezra, so they are ''traditional'' you can argue. I imagine you do not have whole sign aspects coded? I've seen other software do it by using a 30 degree orb while toggling of out-of-sign aspects.
...
6) Cookbook aspects.
Thus a person can synthesize 1) and 2) depending on the placement for which we can't account, while the average and estimated result will be in cookbook 3), 4), 5) and 6)
Thanks, I like this approach and the example you sent:
1) and 2) - General descriptions of the planet and the sign for do-it-yourself synthesis ...
... and 3), 4), 5), 6) with cookbook descriptions.

3) I would definitely use also bounds; so I will code this function.
5) I was just about to ask about whole sign x orbs aspects. I think it could be nice to have both options to choose and I could code also whole sign aspects.
I will send PM with some questions for more info about it
