Relationships

The seventh house is the mirror of the self in the other: it rules one-to-one relationships, both in the emotional and the legal or professional sphere. It encompasses marriage, long-term partnership, business associations, and openly declared opponents. Its natural sign is Libra and its natural planet is Venus, lending it an emphasis on balance, negotiation, and the search for complementarity. Its cusp is called the Descendant and represents what you project onto others, often something you have not yet recognized in yourself. Here you can read what kind of bond you seek in a partner, what qualities you admire or find challenging in others, and how you function within a formal association. It does not predict whether or when you will marry: it describes the structure of your relational world.
