The 7th house — the house of partnership in astrology.
The 7th house is the house of partnership — marriage, committed relationships, and close one-to-one bonds. It shows what you seek in a partner and how you relate.

Any planet in your 7th house colours this area of life with its energy. The sign on the cusp shows the style you bring to partnership.
Every house sits on an axis with its opposite. The 7th house (partnership) is balanced by the 1st house (self & identity). Growth comes from honouring both ends — neither partnership nor self & identity thrives when the other is neglected.
The 7th house is one of the angular houses. Angular houses are the most powerful and action-oriented — planets here make a strong, visible impact on your life.
The cusp of the 7th house is the Descendant — the point on the western horizon, exactly opposite your Ascendant. The sign on the Descendant describes the qualities you seek in a partner and what you are drawn to in close one-to-one relationships. It is the "other" to your Ascendant's "self".
Whatever planet falls in your 7th house colours partnership with its energy.

Thought and communication brought to partnership.
Love, harmony, and values brought to partnership.
Drive, passion, and assertion brought to partnership.
