7th House in Astrology

The 7th house governs committed partnerships — including marriage, business partnerships, and significant one-on-one relationships. Its cusp is the Descendant. It describes the qualities you seek in a partner, what you project onto others, and what you need from close relationships.

The 7th house is the relationship mirror — it shows not just who we attract but what parts of ourselves we project onto partners. The sign on the Descendant (7th house cusp) describes 'my type' and often the qualities we haven't fully integrated within ourselves. Saturn in the 7th: serious, delayed, but enduring partnerships. Venus in the 7th: natural ease and harmony in relationships. Mars here: passionate but potentially combative partnerships.
