7th House in Astrology...
Experiencing the world and yourself through
one-to-one relationships is the essence of the seventh house. |
The seventh house represents our expectations in one-to-one relationships. The sign ruling the seventh-house and the planets there show the way we present ourselves in these relationships and how we expect others to treat us. To a large extent, relationships are sought with other people so that the chart holder can experience their own seventh-house signs and planets by having them reflected back to them by other people. This is why there is often an attraction to people with the sign ruling the seventh house of a person's natal chart, the descendant. If a chart holder has Cancer on their descendant, they will find Cancers attractive because they experience their own Cancer qualities through other people. The seventh house shows a person's desire, ability and style of attracting people and relating to them on a one-to-one basis. These can be friendships, business partnerships, or love relationships. Therefore, the seventh house is about flirting, sales, marketing, legal and business negotiations, as well as the routine negotiating and compromising that constantly takes place between any two people. People with many seventh-house planets need other people to fully experience themselves.

Planets in the 7th House...Sun in the 7th House...People who have their sun in the seventh house of their natal chart crave relationships with people. Their need to grow and shine in their own self-expression is provided through one-to-one interactions with other people. These chart holders see themselves more clearly when they are relating with other people. Masters at attracting people into relationships, they are also extremely skilled at negotiating with them and know how to get what they want from people. Because their own needs are served by relating with other people, seventh-house suns can't help themselves from seeking out interactions with people. The reactions and feedback seventh-house people get from interacting with people serve as reflections of themselves and serve to define themselves. Seventh-house sun chart holders can accomplish a great deal in life because they know how to manipulate people. However, this position can be frustrating because they rely on other people for their ability to shine in the world. They are often very complimentary toward people. Seventh-house suns are acutely aware of their leverage in relationships and are never afraid to use this leverage to get their way. The more mature seventh-house suns are good at using this leverage without the other person being aware of it, but less mature chart holders are more transparent. The seventh-house sun position can produce a person who enjoys relationships so much that only a few are not enough to satisfy them. They can be fickle about partners because new partners inspire them and allow them to see themselves in new ways. Seventh-house suns or those with Leo on the descendant often look for relationships with Leo-like people who are outgoing, lively and expressive.

Seventh-house moons unconsciously form relationships with people in order to maintain their own emotional stability. They may want to care for other people or they may expect other people to care for them, but the expectation for emotional needs to be met through relationships is always there. In business, these can be people who expect associates to serve them. Or, a seventh-house moon may be skilled at serving others by partnering up with others to give legal counsel or by contributing valuable business skills. These chart holders need relationships with other people in order to feel comfortable with their own lives. Interactions with partners comfort them. Even if the interactions are combative, they still serve their need to move through their life within the vehicle of a relationship with another person. It's the interaction and the partnership that are needed rather than any specific person. This is why seven-house moon chart holders can be fickle in their love relationships. They are looking to get their own needs satisfied and there may always be someone who can do this better than their current partner. Add this to the fact that their expert skill at attracting and negotiating with people is unconscious, so that they don't even have to try to excel at it, and you have a person who can easily float from one relationship to the next. Those with a seventh-house moon, or Cancer on their descendant often look for relationships with Cancer-like people who are emotional, caring and sensitive.
Mercury in the 7th House...
This is a beneficial placement. One-to-one relationships are not taken overly seriously and there is not a likelihood for hurt feelings. Rather, the chart holder with a seventh-house Mercury will approach these relationships with a slightly detached and analytic style. Problems are discussed rationally and finding solutions to problems is always the goal instead of engaging in power struggles or emotional games. People who have Mercury in their seventh house have a light approach to one-to-one relationships. They enjoy conversation and prefer to keep the topics varied. People with Mercury in their seventh house or Gemini on their descendant are often attracted to relationships with Gemini-like people who are detached, verbal and rational.

Venus in the 7th House...An extremely beneficial placement, Venus in the seventh house gives the chart holder an expectation for enjoyment in one-to-one relationships. A seventh-house Venus has finesse in relationships and treats relationships tenderly but not emotionally. People with this placement look for the best in people while trying to ignore the negative qualities in others. Because seventh-house Venus people treat relationships with tenderness and respect, they are generally treated well in return. This is the gift of the seventh-house Venus. Venus in the seventh house also knows how to be attractive. It is an excellent placement for marketing and sales professions as these people know what people want and how to win them over. Superior skills in compromising and negotiating are also found with a seventh-house Venus. Those with Venus in their seventh house or Libra on their descendant find Libra-like people attractive who are gracious, tactful and fair-minded.
Mars in the 7th House...Those with Mars in the seventh house often find themselves in power struggles in one-to-one relationships because they need to exert their will in their relationships. Mars is the planet of "will" and when it is in the seventh house of "relationships", the chart holder's need to exert their will usually comes at the expense of another person. They actually use relationships as vehicles for the expression of their will. In other words, they get want they want out of life through one-to-one relationships. Likewise, they expect other people to be equally interested in fulfilling their own needs and agendas. Put all of this together and it is obvious how seventh-house Mars people can be aggressive, demanding and argumentative in one-to-one relationships. However, if they are able to use restraint and patience, seventh-house Mars chart holders can make powerful negotiators who can gain successes and gains through one-to-one associations. Those with a seventh-house Mars or Aries on their descendant are attracted to Aries-like people who are aggressive and confident.

Jupiter in the 7th House...
In the seventh house, Jupiter brings its happy-go-lucky attitude into one-to-one relationships. These chart holders keep a very loose grip on people in relationships and expect to be granted a great deal of freedom in return. People with Jupiter in their seventh house want relationships that are free from drama or heavy emotional garbage. Easy conversation about non-personal topics are preferred. There are low expectations in terms of responsibilities and obligations in relationships with seventh-house Jupiter people. Going days or weeks without contact is not taken as an insult. People with Jupiter in their seventh house want the freedom to make their own rules and schedules in relationships. They don't want expectations about the frequency or depth of interactions. This easy-going, freedom-loving style often leads to multiple marriages, friendships and business partnerships that fizzle out due to neglect. Jupiter in the seventh house can take relationships so lightly that they lose people they didn't intend to lose. Care should be taken with this position not to let a need for freedom cause great losses in relationships. People with Jupiter in their seventh house or Sagittarius on their descendant are attracted to Sagittarius-like people who enjoy freedom and a light-hearted attitude.
Saturn in the 7th House...

A tendency toward an overly serious outlook on relationships is found with a seventh-house Saturn. So much so, that these people may attempt to avoid getting locked into one-to-one relationships. There is often a feeling that every interaction must go well otherwise the seventh-house Saturn chart holder is a loser. This type of self-imposed stress in relationships can eventually lead these chart holders to avoid relationships because of the fear of failure. Other times, these people choose to associate with older people. This makes the relationship easier because any fault found in the chart holder can be blamed on innocent immaturity. Or the older person can take the leadership position and any errors in the interaction can be blamed on them rather than the seventh-house Saturn person. Those with Saturn in their seventh house often marry people older than them for these reasons. However, as these seventh-house chart holders mature, their confidence and wisdom grow and they may leave their older partners in search of more equal relationships. These people often find more success in relationships later in life. Seventh-house Saturn people or those with Capricorn on their descendant are attracted to Capricorn-like people who are serious about life and are willing to care for their partners.
Uranus in the 7th House...A tendency to feel suddenly trapped in relationships and partnerships is often found with a seventh-house Uranus. These chart holders can hold a great deal of frustration at bay until it just becomes too much to push aside. Then, they explode and run for their freedom. People with Uranus in their seventh house resent partners who try to give them boundaries. They refuse to be controlled, but they also offer their partners a great deal of freedom. Uranus in the seventh house has a detached feeling and emotional drama is not addressed. The easiest way to lose a seventh-house Uranus partner is to suffocate them with emotional drama. A one-to-one relationship or partnership based on trust and loose boundaries is the only happy relationship with a seventh-house Uranus. Those with Uranus in their seventh house, or Aquarius on their descendant are attracted to Aquarius-like people who are detached and unemotional.
Neptune in the 7th House...Unclear boundaries are the hallmark of a seventh-house Neptune. Often, the reasons behind any one-to-one relationship are unclear. The rules about intimacy are cloudy. The communication is often foggy, and expectations are distorted. Often, there is one person who serves the other in relationships with a seventh-house Neptune. One person may also believe they constantly have to sacrifice for the other. Interactions can feel lopsided, with one person feeling used. However, a seventh-house Neptune chart holder can offer true compassion in relationships. Real emotion is valued and honored. Feelings are real for these chart holders. They are never discarded as trivial or unnecessary. Rather, these chart holders can provide empathy in relationships and care that is driven by love rather than duty. Seventh-house Neptune people, or people with Pisces on their descendant are often attracted to Pisces-like people who are sensitive and compassionate.
Pluto in the 7th House...A suspicious, intense and untrusting nature is common when Pluto is in the seventh house. These chart holders will try their best to decipher their partner's motives in any interaction. Acutely aware of the subtleties of human relationship, seventh-house Pluto chart holders are patient and probing. They will not get involved in a friendship, love relationship or business partnership unless they feel satisfied that they have sufficiently examined the person and have a complete understanding of their purpose and intentions in the relationship. Seventh-house Pluto chart holders are also sensitive to which person in an interaction holds the most power, and if it isn't them, they will try to win it. Any person is a possible threat, so everyone is treated that way. Seventh-house Pluto people, or people with Scorpio on their descendant are attracted to Scorpio-like people who are careful and intense.
