What this house holds
This house sits opposite the first. Where the first is you, the seventh is the other person: a partner, a spouse, a business partner, anyone you meet as an equal.
Astrology also reads it for open conflict, the people who openly stand against you. It shows what you look for in another person, and sometimes what you have not yet owned in yourself.
How it was read before
Older astrology gave this house to Libra and Venus and read it for marriage, business partnerships and open enemies.
For a nation it held foreign relations: peace, war and its dealings with other countries. The old books read every pairing as a kind of treaty.
Sit with this
The people closest to us are often mirrors. What draws you to someone, and what bothers you about them, can show you something about yourself.
A relationship is a choice two people keep making. Nobody else can make it for you.
