7th House

The seventh house is the house of partnership. It governs one-to-one relationships, marriage, business partners, and close committed bonds, along with the qualities a person seeks in others and tends to attract. It also covers open conflict and the people who oppose us directly. It resonates with Libra, and as an angular house it is highly significant. Its cusp is the Descendant, the point setting in the west. Planets in the seventh house shape how a person relates as a partner and what they look for in a significant other. They often describe traits a person meets through relationship, sometimes qualities they have not yet developed in themselves. The sign on the cusp colors the style of partnership a person is drawn to. This house is the mirror of the first, balancing self with other. Its work is genuine partnership, learning to meet another person as an equal without losing yourself in the process.
