Seventh House
"The House of Partnership — marriage, contracts, and committed relationships"
What the Seventh House Means
The Seventh House is the house of 'the other' — all significant one-on-one partnerships, including romantic partners, business partners, close collaborators, and even open enemies. The sign on your Seventh House cusp (called the Descendant) describes the type of person you're most drawn to in partnership, and also reveals qualities in others that you might be projecting or haven't fully integrated in yourself. Marriage, business contracts, legal agreements, and all forms of committed equal partnership live in the Seventh House.
