House 7 ยท The other person
Seventh house
The seventh house sits opposite the first. It covers partnership and the one-to-one dynamics where you meet someone as an equal.
Close relationships of every kind live here, not only romantic ones. Business partners, long friendships, the people whose presence changes how you behave.
This house tends to describe what you look for in a counterpart and what you tend to hand over to them. Often it holds a quality you have not yet claimed as your own.
Nothing in this house describes another person's feelings or what they will do. It describes your side of the meeting, which is the only side a chart can speak to.
A planet in this house
A planet in the seventh house tends to activate in company. You may notice it most clearly in how you are with one particular person.
Sit with these
- What do you look for in a counterpart, and do you offer it yourself?
- What do you become in close company that you are not alone?
- Which quality do you keep admiring in others?
