The Seventh House.
The 7th house is the mirror — marriage, partnership, and the close others who show you the parts of yourself you meet through them.

What it is
What the 7th house rules
The house of others
The seventh house sits directly opposite the first: if the first is 'I', the seventh is 'you'. It rules committed partnership — marriage, business partners, the significant one-to-one — and the qualities you meet in other people because you haven't fully claimed them yourself.
It's the house of the mirror. Who you keep attracting, and clashing with, is the seventh house telling you something about you.
Naturally ruled by Libra and its ruler Venus — the sign and planet most at home here.
The tell
How it shows up
- You have a type — not just in romance, but in who you partner with and who gets under your skin.
- A planet here shows up as the partner you draw: Saturn attracts the serious and the older, Jupiter the expansive, the Moon the nurturing-or-needy.
- The traits you say you can't stand in a partner are often the ones you've disowned in yourself.
The hard part
The shadow
What to watch for
The seventh house can lose you in the other person. You over-adapt, keep the peace, and hand your own preference to whoever you're paired with — then resent the imbalance you built.
The move
What to do with it
Somewhere to go
Name what you're meeting in the other person that's actually yours to claim. The seventh house is at its best as a mirror you learn from, not a self you outsource.
The Libra in you reads a lot like this house. Sun in Libra.

How do I find my 7th house?
Danu counts houses the Whole Sign way: the sign your rising sign is in is your 1st house, and each sign after it is the next house. Your 7th house is the 7th sign counting from your rising sign, so it needs your birth time. An empty 7th house is normal: the sign on it and its ruler still describe it.
Which sign and planet rule the 7th house naturally?
Libra and Venus. That is the natural zodiac, the chart with Aries rising that the house meanings come from. In your own chart the 7th house carries whichever sign falls there, and that sign's ruler describes how the house runs.
