Lilly seems to talk at times as though mutual reception even without an aspect ;s enough for a positive outcome. The medieval and Arabic view was that some aspect was also necessary. An opposition here would therefore qualify as an indication of perfection. Indeed Lilly does say that the only times when an opposition will bring about a successful outcome is when the significators are also in mutual reception by 'house' (sign), He does qualify that by saying that they should also apply out of good houses - 1&7, 3&9, 4&10, 5&11 - and the Moon should be separating from the significator of the thing demanded and applying to the lord of the Ascendant.
Personally I would not use that latter qualification, as it makes perfection virtually impossible. As the two significators are in opposition, the Moon would need to be isolated on one side of the chart. So I would accept an opposition with mutual reception by sign and even by exaltation as sufficient.
