On the Soul's Terms #107 | Snow White And The Seventh House
A winter window, three drops of blood on snow, and a mirror that refuses to flatter—this is where our journey into the Seventh House begins. We take Snow White out of the nursery and into the soul, reading the fairy tale as a precise map of relationship, projection, and the parts of ourselves we meet in the other. If the First House says I am, the Seventh answers you are, and the tension between them powers the entire story.
We follow the thread of red, white, and black through alchemy’s negredo, albedo, and rubedo, then trace how a single name—“Snow White”—exiles desire and descent to the edges of the chart. The queen’s mirror speaks truth and sparks envy; the huntsman escorts us to the threshold; Artemis steadies our instincts as we run into the wild. In a spotless cottage, seven miners—echoes of the seven traditional planets and Saturn’s seven-year cycle—teach the slow craft of integration: daily work, small rooms, and long nights that turn darkness into gold.
Temptations arrive as teachings. Laces steal breath when beauty constricts. A comb slips poison through tangled thoughts. And the apple—half white, half red—reveals the cost of splitting innocence from eros. The glass coffin becomes an alchemical vessel where owl, raven, and dove keep vigil, holding intellect, underworld wisdom, and rebirth in balance. Awakening doesn’t come with a kiss but with a stumble that dislodges what choked the voice—proof that real change often arrives through life’s imperfect bumps rather than perfect moments.
We close with the coniunctio, the inner marriage that makes love generative again, and the queen’s fiery exit once her necessary trials are complete. Along the way, we connect these symbols to Libra’s scales, boundary-setting, and the lived experience of Seventh House planets: how to read the mirror without losing yourself, how to honor desire without abandoning discernment, and how to mine your own darkness for gold. If you’re ready to see relationship as a sacred laboratory rather than a battlefield, press play and step to the window with us.
