House of Relating:

The seventh house is where you'll find insight on relationships. It's traditionally called the house of marriage. But it defines how you pair up, whether it's in love, friendship or business partnerships.


The seventh house holds clues to all important one-on-one ties, and that includes enemies and arch rivals. The many hues of relating, from harmony to life-or-death power struggles are expressed in the seventh house.

The First House is about Identity, and across the wheel, the Seventh shapes your identity in relationship. Do you find it easy to pair up, or are you more of a singleton? Is your love life a tragic one, or are you lucky in love? Will you marry many times, or just once? Will it be a happy marriage, or a tumultuous one, or both? Like the Love Line on your palm, this house has clues to what lessons you'll encounter.

The seventh house shows whether you're apt to partner up in business, or go it alone. An energized seventh house (Sun or Mars) makes it likely that working as a duo gets you farther faster. Jupiter in the house of partnerships is auspicious for tandem ventures, and ups the chances for financial rewards. Difficult aspects to, or karmic lessons (Pluto, Saturn) in the seventh turns relationships into a crucible....where what's gained is deeply transformative in the end.

If love hurts, see if you don't deserve extra points for high degree of difficulty. Those with major seventh house lessons emerge knowing that love's shadows are also expressions of the soul, and part of true intimacy.
