7th House (Seventh House)



sev-enth house

/ˈsɛvənθ haʊs/

 The 7th House is the sector of the astrological chart that represents one-on-one partnerships, marriage, and significant relationships with others.

Also known as the House of Partnerships, this angular house begins at the Descendant and sits directly across from the 1st House. It governs all committed relationships, including marriage, business partnerships, and legal contracts. The sign on the cusp and any planets within this house describe the qualities an individual seeks in a partner or the characteristics they encounter in their close associates. In chart interpretation, this area is vital for understanding how a person interacts with others in a collaborative or confrontational capacity.
