The Seventh House is ruled by the Sign Libra and the Planet Venus. The Seventh House is commonly referred to as the House of Partnership¹. With this House, we see a shift away from the self toward another -- a partner. By cooperating with and relating to another we unite for the purpose of achieving something. Purpose is important to the Seventh House -- the act of accomplishing something great or small for the self, the partnership and even society as a whole. In uniting with another, we also become a more valuable member of our world: we make a contribution, one small cog in the wheel of life. We have purpose. Cooperation and partnership help to expedite our purpose in life.

The Seventh House shows us that partnerships² can take many forms: marriage, business relationships, contracts, legalities, negotiations³ and agreements. We will cooperate to a greater or lesser⁴ extent in these varied⁵ partnerships. The quality of that cooperation, in essence how we relate to the other, is key to the Seventh House. Why do we choose this partnership? Is it for love or money? Practical reasons? Social considerations? The partnerships we form say a great deal about ourselves and also serve to teach us much. This House wants us to know that the quality of our partnerships will enhance our lives, make them fuller, more special and better for everyone.
