🜂 House Description

The 7th House governs one-on-one partnerships, agreements, and open enemies and reveals how you instinctively seek balance through others.
It reflects your approach to marriage, business alliances, and close connections, and its influence is seen in your ability to collaborate or compromise.
Planets here highlight your style of relating — whether harmonious, confrontational, or magnetic.
This house also serves as a gate for learning the spiritual art of mutual respect and reflection.

Cusp arithmetic. In whole-sign houses the 7th house is the entire 7th sign counted from the rising sign: sign(H7) = (sign(ASC) + 6) mod 12. In equal houses its cusp is ASC + 180°. In quadrant systems (Placidus, Koch, Porphyry, Regiomontanus, Campanus) the cusp is computed from RAMC, obliquity and latitude — see House Systems.

Hellenistic names, joys and Lilly’s significations are optional correspondences beneath the vault’s own house definition above.
