The 7th house is naturally associated with the sign of Libra and its ruler Venus. This house represents the field of relationships. If the 1st house is the house of self, then the 7th is the house of others. This house indicates how we express ourselves in our relationships and what qualities we seek in others. In particular it represents the marriage partner, at least the first major relationship with that kind of commitment. In general it represents the area of social contact and the need for relationships of various kinds, and can be extended to our dealings with the general public.

Sun in the 7th House
All of this is most likely to focus upon, and be caused by, how you deal with and experience other people and their responses to your ego expression as described in this your Sun Profile. So what tends to happen is that you live out your will and life through others, and one other in particular. Such an automatic putting yourself in someone else's shoes does give you a profound ability to function well in as a therapist, or in public relations or any other people oriented activity.
What you have to constantly be wary of is losing yourself in the identity of another or others, or looking for some heroic figure or father figure in them. Remember, that as you live and find yourself through others, they revolve around you. Others are the rim of the wheel - but you are the hub. Get my Soul Scope Report

All these needs and feelings are most likely to be met through friends, clubs, social movements, or the nurturing of some ideal. All these matters will go through phases, causing your goals and allegiances to fluctuate. Overall, you manage to keep your emotional life fairly light and breezy.
You prefer not to get morbid and heavy in one-to-one relationships and, if things get that way, you will go out with friends or to somewhere impersonal. This can be a good safety valve, but a bad habit if you make your friends or associations into an emotional crutch. It is wise to take a break from them every so often in order to re-establish your own identity, not to mention facing any more intimate emotional commitments.
All the same, you are capable of appealing to the crowd on an emotional level, which means that you have a finger on the pulse of the public's attitude to political, sociological or cultural issues. Get my Soul Scope Report
Mercury in the 7th House
You like to have a partner who thinks and perceives things in this way too and who is generally stimulating intellectually. You also prefer to conduct your relationships in a very reasonable way. This is fine up to the point where the emotional side of things can't get a look in. You will then find yourself with an extremely emotional mate on your hands, as they demand that you respond with more than just your head. Alternatively, if you're an emotional type yourself, or lack mental confidence for some reason, then you will get someone else to do your thinking for you. This is fine as long as you're both happy with the arrangement, but there will probably come a time when you will have to sort out your own mental or learning problems. Potentially, your mind is very capable of tuning into the facts and figures about others, so public relations or some kind of demographic or agency work would be well starred.

Venus in the 7th House
You are inclined to experience these values and senses (or the need for them) as belonging to someone else - like your partner or people in general, but really they are a part of you, which you should own. If you do not, you will be inclined to suffer the negative aspects only. By the same token, you tend to look for your own worth and beauty in someone else, with the result that they at first try to live up to your expectations and then fail miserably.
The fact of the matter is that you are highly pleasing to other people because you somehow embody their idea of social appeal, no matter what you may physically look like. So, rather than constantly seeking to have your own charm, poise, wit or whatever confirmed by the attentions of others, begin to appreciate that your pull is as natural as a magnet's. To prove this, just stop and look at what you attract.Get my Soul Scope Report
Mars in the 7th House
Now it would seem that you initially experience these qualities of drive and self-assertion as coming from others - and one other in particular. This is especially so if you are female. This being the case, you are also more likely to encounter the negative aspects. In truth however, the nature and power of your own self-assertion is innately unconscious and so you encounter it through the reactions of others to it.
Indeed, your partner may very well embody these traits, but the fact still remains that he or she is being a role model for you - be it negative or positive. The more you claim this manner of forcefulness as your own, then the more you are able to be an effective leader of others, or at least a good example of how to assert oneself.

Jupiter in the 7th House
You are attracted to relationships that have these kind of expansive and philosophical qualities about them. You and your partner probably travel around together quite a lot - or are happy to travel apart at times. Generally speaking, your relationships have an open and generous nature. However, it is only too likely that you will come to expect rather too much of your mate - and he or she will be forced to break loose from those expectations in a way that challenges your faith in relationships altogether.
The truth is that you hope to find greatness in another, but you won't until you've found it in yourself. Furthermore, you are, or you ought to be, optimistic about relationships. Even when one breaks up you are aware that someone else is just over the horizon - or that you are now free to make off over that horizon! For you, relationships breed plenty of growth, experience and adventure. Get my Soul Scope Report
Saturn in the 7th House
These lessons and responsibilities that you're supposed to be working on in yourself could be mistakenly projected onto a partner. You expect them to be putting right that which is really your department. When you do get down to it yourself - which essentially means that you're simply learning to relate to others in a responsible way - then you show great principle and discipline with regard to any serious relationship.
In fact, serious relationships are your staple diet because even casual affairs have a habit of calling you to book. Similarly, having a partner who is cold and remote is a sign that you're only going through the conventional motions of serious commitment rather than owning up to your part in it all. To sum up, failing to commit yourself leads to feeling lonely or being alone so love for you is very much where you find it and how you make it. Get my Soul Scope Report
Uranus in the 7th House
Forces for change and urges for freedom make themselves felt in an area where most of us would like stability: relationships. But, consciously or unconsciously, you are attracted to unconventional relationships and partners, ones that keep you alive to the fact that you are both individual beings with individual desires for more than just a secure and predictable social and love life. Shared interests, often of a curious or alternative kind, help to keep a relationship alive because it 'marries' your minds together.
This is something you need in addition to a merely emotional or physical bond. You could say that you are awakening to the importance of friendship over romance. Ideal partners are original, inventive types - even with a touch of genius, craziness, or both and whatever is suppressed, or denied, as odd in yourself is bound to be represented in your mate - at double strength. It can be guaranteed that you will never be able to take each other for granted, because you'll always surprise one another. Get my Soul Scope Report
Neptune in the 7th House
You look for sensitivity and idealism in others - or one other in particular. You project onto your partner all those things that you long for in a mate. This can only too easily give rise to your having great love affairs which are followed by equally great disappointments. Furthermore, your partner becomes like a drug to you, because you become addicted to them and then suffer very painful withdrawal symptoms when your 'supply' is threatened or terminated.
It is of vital importance that you find some kind or 'cure' -otherwise you could be doomed to be a 'social junkie'. That cure is in your recognition that you yourself are carrying around within your psyche that ideal human being. The people that you long for and are fatally attracted to seem to be supremely gifted and so you worship them, or they are in some way afflicted and seem to need your help.
In either case, you can often wind up feeling the victim in a relationship. The more you find the artist, mystic, healer, musician, visionary or transcendental in yourself, then the more you will be able to relate to your partner as an ordinary human being with ordinary talents and failings.

Pluto in the 7th House
The issue of power and transformation presents itself to you in your dealings with others - especially in a one-to-one relationship like marriage, so you're forced to confront the true nature of your deepest fears and desires and to establish a balance of power between you and your mate, or whoever.
This is not easy because it necessitates some in-depth analysis of what (or who) in your life has been allowed to dominate you. Otherwise your partner could appear to take on the role of being the dominant one, when really it's something in yourself that unconsciously wants to be dominated. As if to fit this scenario, your mate may well be powerful, or dis-empowered too in some way.
Both of you could possibly even enjoy this dominator/dominated kind of relationship but, sooner or later, your relationship will have to be psychologically debugged if you are to avoid its going through an excruciatingly slow death. It's better to go into the storm, purge your doubts and fears, for upon this will follow either the refreshment of a renewed relationship, or the release of having no relationship at all.
