Hi StillOne,
With the seventh house matter the most obvious culprit is Saturn, elementally cold and dry: not conducive to growth. He is also in detriment and peregrine. Lilly ascribed detriment a -5 value and peregrine -3 value, so it is a fair debility. Peregrine planets specifically have been said to tend toward malice. Given that the planet in question is Saturn, the suggestion of malice is underscored by Saturn's nature being the greater malefic. If you use whole signs, Saturn is in the first house, speaking about your personality, so I wonder whether you have malicious tendencies, coldness and dryness, which may destroy the growth of your relationships. Saturn is also out of sect in the first house and conjunct SN, are a further set of debilities.
I'll come back to this thread later.

Your seventh house is interesting because of the first/seventh dichotomy which pops out with Saturn. But also because NN/SN are are inhabitants there too.
Vedic astrology uses traditional rulerships and whole signs. SN and NN are termed Ketu and Rahu, respectively, and offer rich interpretations. Ketu, in the first house, is symbolised by the headless body, whereas Rahu, in the seventh house, is symbolised by the bodyless head. People with Ketu in the first house are at a loss of ego and identity. They exist in isolation. But seventh house Rahu motivates for partnerships. Because Ketu is symbolised without a head and in the first house isolation, natives are truth seekers who participate in secret practices.
Rahu (NN), symbolised by the dragon's head, does not have a belly. It is forever thirsty but does not get its fill. Rahu in the seventh house signals a native to will have access to partnerships, but even if everything is offered within these partnerships, the native is never satisfied. Ketu will fight for independence, because in the first house it wants isolation. Yet Rahu will try to complete the native through partnership, but the native will always be disillusioned because, by definition, Rahu can never be sated, because of its bottomless belly, and Ketu will find flaws in partnership because it wants not partnership, being the polar opposite of Rahu. Does that makes sense? They are polar opposites and function as a unity.
Rahu acts as a mirror to the sign it is in. In your case, Rahu plays a hypothetical seventh house Saturn. The cold, dry quality of Saturn is present in the seventh house too (which it would not be if Rahu was not there). Saturn is reality, order and discipline. It prevents a partnership from being dreamy and romantic. Hypothetical (Rahu reflecting) Saturn will not allow it. The charm of this influence could be in the balance which Saturn can provide because the castle is less likely to be built on sand. Yet, because of Rahu's greediness this hypothetical Saturn, projected by Rahu, will always be debilitated. Hypothetical Saturn will apply pressure and judgement. And real Saturn, which aspects the seventh house from a debilitated position in Cancer will do the same. Regardless of this debility, however, Rahu will always want more and push for more. The Rahu-Ketu dichotomy could be frustrating to you. But the Saturn-hSaturn dichotomy could be an additonal wet blanket.
Is seventh house stability impossible?
It seems that seventh house stability is possible when situation benefits from criticism in buckets, particularly when it affords working alone. The seventh house is also about partnerships of the business type. The influence of Saturn from the first house, looking at the seventh, makes you a cold, shrewd, formidable businessman, who can keep his cards close to his chest. Saturn will apply pressure to be painfully realistic. Rahu will always want more and better. And Ketu is satisfied because it keeps its isolation.

Its so nice when the OP takes the time to provide a detailed response to an astrologer's work. So many people will simply say, "yeah", when after asking a detained question, and detailed response is much more beneficial to everyone.
Kudos to Stillone for taking this seriously and caringly.

I am unsure if that generalisation applies in the tradition. 4th Lord is the father. 10th Lord is the mother.
Saturn rules also the 8th house. Is it possible that inheritance is involved?

Interesting choice of words. If you do not mind me asking, do you realise that idealism is not synonymous with being loving? The two can be in opposition to one another, particularly over the long term, because the idea relies on the person being compatible with your idealism. Is that ever possible to sustain?
1. My mother was idealistic about me and had my best interests at heart every time she capped the pursuit of my interests in favour of her own. She thought she was being a good mother. I thought she did not understand the concept.
2. My exbf was idealistic about love when he renounced monogamy for polyamory, feeling that love knew no gender or boundary. He thought that is the purest way to live and raise children. As a monogamist, I was left out in the cold.
3. Muslim extremists were idealistic about blowing up themselves and people around them for love. I am not sure those on the receiving end of this idealism felt suicide bombing was in their best interests.
These sound like extreme examples but actually it is the notion of idealism itself that is the extremity. We have free will to live by our ideals, that is fine. But others have that right also. If we impinge on that right, because of our ideals, it is abuse. We can love people for who they are or we can love them according to our ideal. Since people are dynamic and subject to personal development by interpersonal difference, as a necessary process, it is impossible to sustain a 7th house ideal.
Having Rahu in the 7th house, you will be taught that lesson again and again, wanting to retreat to an isolated, egoless, immaterial state with Ketu in 1st house, for respite.
Just so I know for my notes, are you saying that you feel a lack of identity?
About your identity and how you see yourself, do you think this may be accounted also by L1, the moon, being in aversion [out of sight] to the ascendant. Do you think you see yourself realistically?
I am sorry to disappoint you. I am in the early stages of learning traditional astrology. You are my lab rat/human.

appreciate the pointwise candid feedbacks, hope the reading was useful.
ancestor worship is praying for the peace of the family ancestors regularly, as per custom, doing charity, donating-serving at old age homes, etc.

ps : wonder why the whole text cannot be quoted, irrelevant paras could be deleted while responding to the relevant paras.
inability to quote the whole text may not allow pointwise responses if one chooses to disallowing building the context for the readers, making referencing tedious task. hope this will be reviewed and considered by forum admin please!

The first thing to notice about the 4th in this chart is that the 4th sign is intercepeted. This generally indicates that significations of the 4th have a difficulty expressing themselves. Saturn is a general significator of the father in a night chart, and we find Saturn in the 12th house, though in the 1st sign. Looking at Saturn's condition, he is about as out of sect/out of domain as he can get and in detriment, compounded by his proximity to the SN. He is also in his first station. The last aspect Saturn made was a sextile (intimate connection) with Mars, also in detriment and retrograde. That aspect had some postive reception for all that Saturn is in Mars' fall in that Mars received Saturn by term and triplicity, but Mars' retrograde motion indicates that what was a connection is no longer. Mars as ruler of the 10th sign gives connotations of the Mother (10th in traditional astrology) and combined with the aphorism that Saturn in the 12th could mean the absense of the father, as well as the intercepted 4th, leads me to wonder if StillOne's dad wasn't around much growing up, or at least not part of his permanent household.
The 7th house is fairly challenged as well, since it's rulers are the same Mars and Saturn just described.
This was a quicky and in no way complete!
This question is the one that trips up most new traditional students consistantly. There is a difference between capable/competent and strength/angularity. Saturn is quite incompetent in this chart and though in the 1st sign (thus able to regard the ASC) still cadent. If Saturn were angular, he would still be incompetent, and would be able to be incompetent with strength. Sort of like when my husband, who knows nothing about electrical wiriing, decided he was going to rewire our kitchen. We are lucky the house didn't burn down...

BINGO! Nicely done tsmall! Father was 97% absent. However, he did provide financial support and some nice vacations. I was really curious if traditional astrology would pick up all the nuances of this here.
Didn't know traditional astrology used intercepted houses.
Is there anything else you can pick up about the 4th house? Stable childhood or did I move?
In light of this, can we say that as a result of a missing father, house 7 affairs were impaired?
Ok

There are more "nuances" to be found. The problem is that it takes longer to explain them than it does to find them. 4th sign is intercepted by Virgo/Mercury, with Mercury posited in the radical 5th, which is the turned second. As to the financial support/vacations, look to Jupiter in Aquarius on the cusp of the 8th. Dad supports, and dad leaves an inheritance.
This made me laugh. Intercepted signs are not a modern invention. Quadrant based house systems have existed even going back to the Hellenistic era, and no matter which system you choose, including Porphyry, you will have signs intercepted at one time or another.
I don't know. Did you? Probably, as cusp of the 4th is in a mutable sign, with the 4th sign being cardinal = initiating action. But you would be better able to answer that question. As to stability, well, it looks to me like (again going back to those nuances mentioned earlier) that Mom did double duty, as the exaltation ruler of the 10th sign is in the 4th sign. In fall (I know quite a bit about fallen Suns) but angular. Add to that Mars retrograde and I'd say that Mom had some stuff of her own to overcome. This would likely have influenced you quite a bit.
Correlation does not imply causation. We are all born into this world with things about ourselves that we need to learn and grow with. Studying astrology isn't about looking for someone else to blame, or even looking at circumstances to blame. If anything, learning about our past, present and future places more responsibility on US to accept our own faults, and either accept them as they are or learn how to change ourselves in order to live fuller lives. It is also necessary to understand that traditional astrology grew out of a couple of very large philosophical viewpoints. There is Stoicism, which suggests, ala Ptolemy, that prescience is useful in order to accept that what will happen will happen, and to adjust ourselves to be calm in spirit about it (which, btw, led Vettius Valens, who must have seen something in his own chart, to isolate himself from love and most of the world) and (skipping about four or five others) there is Hermeticism...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermeticism
In traditional astrology, each planet can wear many hats, and it is necessary to be able to separate out those hats when delineating a chart. You asked about 4th house matters. Then you asked about 7th house matters. These two are not going to be the same. It may be a result of an absentee father (that's probably for you and a therapist to determine) but the rulers of your 7th (Saturn and Mars) are both impeded in and of themselves. In a sense, Saturn is in joy in the 12th, happily making you miserable and in full view of the ASC. Mars well into his retrograde position, and in detriment, is like...turning away all comers by what ever means necessary.
Saturn is making a phasis in your chart, and completely out of sect in his first station to boot. You have a very frightened Saturn in your 12th house of self undoing, in the same sign as the ASC so therefore right in your face about it, separating from out of reception with the exaltation ruler of your 7th house who is retrograde and debilitated. Saturn colors every aspect of your life. You need to learn to love this, understand this, in order to overcome this.
Ok
I apologize, but consider that a natal chart is the blueprint for an entire life, and must be treated as such. There is a reason that consulting traditional natal astrologers charge upwards of $300 for a chart reading, and even then must still distill it down to a couple of questions pertaining to what the querent wishes to explore in the moment, and then cast multiple derivative charts to boil down the answer.
and thank you! Glad your house didn't burn down.
You and me both!
