Known as the 'House of Balance,' what is held in one's Seventh pulls on the ascendant in a manner that reflects how we will handle ourselves when partnered, as opposed solitary. This becomes reflective within marriages, business dealings, and all things diplomacy.
Seventh House: Significant Relationships/Interplay
Aries ... Aries in the Seventh sets the stage for a vibrant and robust zest for life, with a need of that mirrored in a life partner. Embracing constructive conflict, establishing firm boundaries, and being aware of the dangers of suppressing anger will allow these individuals to find fulfillment in their relationships... However, not accepting this will likely lead to bitterness developing in the native's close connections and an increasing tendency to exclude others over time.
Taurus ... The fixed earth elemental holding sway over the Seventh house in theory is a good match because it, as well as the House are naturally ruled by Venus with them both having very sensual aspects to their energy. But it's a double down in a way... When individuals with this placement do not feel appreciated, valued, and desired, it can lead to feelings of rejection. The challenge lies in engaging in relationships that are fulfilling and allow for a shared appreciation of life's beauty, while avoiding those that are superficial and lack genuine emotion. Balance is a key aspect of Libra, the sister sign attached to Venus and ruling zodiac sign to the Seventh. As so, it is essential to find harmony between the Earthly (worldly) energy of Taurus and the Air (mental) energy of Libra.
Gemini ...Individuals with Gemini alongside their descendant often resist being tied down and may experience multiple marriages or failed relationships. These relationships typically begin with strong communication, which is central to the initial attraction. However, as the novelty fades and monotony sets in, the intimacy often diminishes due to the loss of mental connection between the partners. As the initial excitement fades, it becomes evident that a serious relationship requires a partner who stimulates both the body and the mind. This person should be able to endure through time, consistently bringing fresh ideas to the table and keeping the relationship dynamic and interesting.
Cancer ... Individuals with the Seventh House governed by the emotional sign of Cancer often seek partners who are emotionally attuned and contribute to a nurturing household. These individuals typically have an Aquarius or Capricorn ascendant, which may make it challenging for them to express their emotions fully. Adhering to the adage "Opposites Attract," they are drawn to those who openly share their vulnerabilities. They may appear emotionally self-sufficient, yet they deeply value nurturing and seek partners who'll provide both space and affection. They are not inclined towards partners who expect them to shoulder all caregiving responsibilities... Such one-sided relationships will be vastly unappealing to them.
Leo ... Individuals with Leo here often exhibit immense warmth and affection towards their partners, provided there is a mutual and consistent respect. This characteristic complements their often Aquarius ascendant, as both Leo and Aquarius are strong, independent zodiac signs. Consequently, their partners will need to have an independence to themselves as well... At times, natives with this position may unintentionally come off as abrasive or egotistical. As respect is a two-way street, it is their duty to recognize and understand this aspect of their behavior in order to avoid estranging those with whom they have chosen to form relationships.
Virgo ... This can present as a challenging position for the Seventh House, as Virgo energy is perpetually inclined to fix things, often paying obsessive attention to details. This results in individuals who may either A) remain in unfulfilling and unhealthy relationships due to a sense of obligation or guilt, or B) pursue partners, especially romantic ones, who they perceive as needing 'fixing.' In both scenarios, the desired contentment that is sought by the Pisces ascendant, frequently paired with a Virgo Seventh, remains unfulfilled. Consequently, the native is left feeling forever emotionally exhausted... It becomes crucial to consistently reassess reasonable expectations and healthy attachments to ensure those with this placement are not exploited. Having a robust sense of self-worth is therefore essential!
Libra ... When one's Seventh House lies within Libra, they are naturally inclined towards partnerships and possess a strong capacity for tact and diplomacy. It is crucial, however, to preserve one's authenticity. Those with this astrological placement may tend to adapt their personalities to match those around them in an effort to relate, rather than staying true to their own identity.
Scorpio ... This house association can indicate a likelihood for intense jealousy and the risk of toxic, possessive relationships... It is essential to first examine one's relationship with oneself, placing emphasis on personal satisfaction and cultivating confidence in one's choices in life. Once this foundation is laid, and the individual recognizes the impact their moon placement may have on their emotions, they can pave a way to building strong connections that result in joy within relationships, not solely drama.
Sagittarius ... Sagittarian energy is deeply connected to theology and philosophy, which can be a double-edged sword for individuals with this astrological placement. They may project their beliefs onto relationships in unhealthy ways with their perspectives significantly influencing the outcomes of their meaningful relationships. For instance, if they enter relationships with the belief that the opposite sex is untrustworthy or self-serving, they may inadvertently draw that exact energy into the realm of the connect that otherwise might not have presented... Additionally, the notion that there is always another discovery to be made around the corner may cause these natives to avoid forming lasting bonds with others. This can result in a pattern of long-distance relationships, as the prospect of deep intimacy is held at a comfortable distance.
Capricorn ... Natives with Capricorn in their Seventh House possess a distinct sense of understanding regarding others. They exhibit patience and a readiness to take on responsibility for others that does not come natural to many.... They have the ability to gauge how somebody is going to react to a given situation and then appropriately approach that individual in a way which makes them feel certain and safe... The flip side of the coin is a tendency to remain bound to those who bring disharmony into their lives, often due to the fear of moving on. With each emotional slight it becomes increasingly difficult to construct the future one desires out of fostering a belief that they are undeserving of happiness...By establishing healthy boundaries and gradually dismantling the barriers that these individuals have constructed around their vulnerability, they can create the life they desire and choose to be around people who are worthy of their energy.
Aquarius ... This setting embodies detachment and aloofness, carrying the energy of air to the fullest in matters of relationships and entanglements. It is typical for individuals with this astrological placement to be predisposed to divorce or separation... Conflicts emerge when individuals neglect to engage in Shadow-work and accept their inner turmoil, leading to the projection of these issues onto others, often those closest to them. This results in further difficulties, as the nature of Aquarius is not conducive to emotional intimacy. Individuals with this Seventh often grapple with finding the depth they seek or a partnership which allows them to express their true individuality. While capable of love, natives here will refuse to be someone's 'other half,' but instead insist on being seen as a complete individual in their own right, who contributes positively to the partnership.
Pisces... Trust is crucial for individuals with a Pisces Seventh House. Regrettably, betrayal and insufficient boundaries often result in various forms of codependency. The allure of artistic yet unstable partners presents many challenging dynamics, and until these individuals develop a strong belief in themselves, the cycle of codependency will persist.
