For years, I've asked the I Ching about other oracles (see my Tarot According To The I Ching piece, for one), and the results have shaped how I've practiced divination.
For this series, I've asked the I Ching to help us better understand astrology What you'll find below are readings detailing the meanings of the most important house, sign, and planet placements, in hopes that it offers others some insight into their natal charts, without the impossible task of me doing individual readings for every single curious person out there.
I hope that it's helpful, and that if you're unfamiliar with the I Ching, that it becomes your gateway into my favorite oracle.

If it's an awkward fit, don't force the danger by going further, though you may still try to re-shape things by attempting to make a connection more solidified. By letting others come and go as they please, you may put yourself in a position to make a superficial connection come back renewed.

Transitional Reading: Hexagram 37.2 > 37.5 > 9.5 > Hexagram 26
With Saturn in your 7th house, use past, or outside experience to find a little clarity that could come with a separation.

7th House Sun Meaning
Reading: Hexagram 40 Unchanging (uc)

Reading: Hexagram 8 Unchanging (uc)

With the Lot of Fortune in your 7th house, stay cautious about any returns, and keep your eyes open for the potential assistance in front of you. Accept the ups and downs as things stay undone, and allow the insight you gain to move you forward to some form of a completion. Staying censored, waiting for things to change on their own, and not pursuing some potential pleasure could be the best choices for you, even if it feels like you're getting a reality check, too.

7th House North Node Meaning
Reading: Hexagram 39.1.4.5.6 > Hexagram 30

With the North Node in your 7th house, you might move forward with some separating, so be sincere when you do seek a finish. Divine intervention isn't coming to make a risky situation safer, but you could get some help with your present obstacles with a one-sided change. And instead of searching for an escape door, closing it behind you and accepting a little isolation might actually be in your best interest.

7th House South Node Meaning
Reading: Hexagram 52.2.3.5.6 > Hexagram 29
Transitional Reading: Hexagram 52.2 > 52.3 > 18.3 > 52.5 > 4.5 > 52.6 > 59.6 > Hexagram 29
With the South Node in your 7th house, there's danger involving sudden changes, and you can probably expect to be pulled in a couple of different directions. If you're being 'extra' in patching things up, be sure to also turn down the shiny, and choose your words carefully to allow your ignorance to work out in your best interest. Ultimately, stilling yourself because it's the right thing to do might help you clear up any animosity that you've found lingering around your relationships here.
