The seventh house (where the Sun visits each year) draws your attention to the business of relationships, marriage, and the need for that special someone in your life. When you look at a chart and there are planets on the 7 (at birth), they are ‘activated’ at least once a month (by the Moon) and once a year by the Sun, along with other visitors to the 7 at various times. in the year and in your life. Your natal chart offers information about how you cooperate with others and they with you = relationships. Demands are also displayed here, as well as one-on-one friendships (your best friend). What you think you lack in yourself you will attract in others and what you hate in others is a reflection of what you ‘hate’ in yourself!
being the house of Attraction You will ‘attract’ to you everything you need to grow and develop. By understanding any planet within or aspects of the 7, you will come to understand what it is you NEED (which is different from what you want). Remember, this position will not show any real person, but it will indicate the ‘type’ of person you ‘attract’ into your life or the type of person you are attracted to…
Grandparents are listed here, as well as anyone acting on their behalf (agents, etc.). being the house of open enemies (and who is our greatest enemy?) refer to this house when you feel you are being ‘persecuted’ in any way… The seventh house is multifaceted because it is the house of equality and if any relationship, marriage or union does not is ‘equal’, then failure is certain to occur. The challenge of how two people can make any type of relationship (marriage) work is perhaps the biggest challenge we all face, not to be taken lightly. Speaking of marriage, not everyone enters the marital bed with ‘love in her eyes’. By no means because there is often a hidden agenda at work below the surface. Fire signs indicate impulsiveness in forming associations. Earth signs take their time. Air signs need communication. Water signs need relationships more than most thoughts. “It’s better to be with someone than to be alone…” This information is offered as a guide only because there are many, many dynamics at work when two people meet face to face (another keyword for this house).
The human being is perhaps the most vulnerable of all when it comes to relationships for many, many attract the same circumstances over and over again, they never really learn anything, it is always something that happens to them or the other person out of guilt or even blaming DESTINY. ..
The 7th house actually asks you to look at your 1st because they reflect each other.
Look to the planets in this house because they will tell you what you need or what you can expect in any close partnership/relationship/friendship. Example, the Sun on the 7th could mean looking for a father figure! The Moon could mean that you are looking for a mother figure, etc. “I have Uranus located here, what does that say about what I need?” Email me with your suggestions LOL. Sometimes the actual sign or the sign’s element on the cusp can give you a clue as to what you need in a partner or what you need to express outwardly.
Being the house of ‘balance’, it often happens that we look to ‘other’ for that part of our ‘self’ that needs to be ‘complete’ (whether this is easily achieved is another matter) to remember that this house is about identification of oneself through interaction with others on a personal level (remember this the next time you choose a ‘struggle’ with another because you are really ‘fighting’ with yourself!) Examine this house to see if it is moving patterns. “If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always gotten.” As I said, the seventh house indicates patterns and if you don’t learn from the experiences this house offers, you are “doomed” to repeat them until you do.
Keep in mind that “patterns” are set in motion if the same thing happens to you a third time and then they are hard to break.
