Is He The Right Man For You?

In astrology, the 7th house (opposite the 1st house) in your natal chart represents everything and everyone that is outside of yourself.

It's a cardinal air house denoting that it's about (superficial) encounters, meetings and interaction with the outer world (at large), with the public, an audience etc.

Because of the air element, it's about communication, exchange of thoughts and ideas and all kinds of interactions.

Because it's a cardinal house, it's also about (im)pulses and initiating urges.

It's above all about our "social urges" and the need to "connect."

In the 7th house, we find the impulse to meet and encounter the outer world. The 7th house is about socializing, about the people we live with, the "others" we meet (clients, customers, vendors, people in the street,...).

Because of the polarity with the 1st house (representing your own self), it also relates to what attracts you or whom you are attracted to.

It's also about your "significant other" as a person and being.

It's not really about marriages.

In our opinion, marriage is part of the whole 3rd Quadrant (houses 7, 8 and 9). Why? Because:

  • in the 7th house, you just meet/encounter the other (the cardinal principle).

  • in the 8th house you bond with the other (it's a fixed water house, representing emotional connections and bonds) (the fixed principle).

  • in the 9th house you make the bond and "the other" public (mutable houses spread and become visible) (the mutable principle).

The zodiac sign(s) on the cusp and in the 7th house describe these other people and situations you are attracted to. The planets in the 7th house, which we want to delineate now, reveal yet more about the other(s).

We only list the planets separately. In case two or more planets reside in the 7th house, the meaning can alter substantially (in our opinion, you CANNOT blend the meaning of the individual delineations as such -- the outcome seems to be more than the sum of the parts).

It seems that stelliums or multiple conjunctions in the 7th house have their own meaning which still needs further research!

And now to the delineations of the planets in the 7th house...
