The twelfth house in astrology is a difficult house because it governs the hidden. This is where energy goes to hide, and we have to tap into the subconscious or surrounding energies to access it. Natal 12th House:Many astrology charts have 12 houses, and each relate to different parts of life. Your natal chart is a snapshot of the locations of the planets, other bodies, and houses in the Zodiac at the moment you're born and from the location you're born at. Each of your natal houses connects to different parts of your life and personality. The twelfth house is ruled by Neptune, the notorious foggy planet. Neptune obscures, and makes it difficult to see things clearly, and usually forces us to operate on instinct as a result. For everyone, look to the Zodiac sign your twelfth house falls in. The areas of life ruled by that sign are where you can find the hidden, spiritual, karmic, sacrificial energy in your life. Also look to the natural planetary ruler of your twelfth house (the natural planetary ruler of the Zodiac sign your twelfth house falls in) as this can also connect to the 12th house energy. If you have any natal planets in your twelfth house, this can make the twelfth house energy a lot stronger for you. That planet is likely hidden energy to you, and you may have difficulty accessing it. You need to connect with it consciously, and not give in to sacrificing it or letting it be your undoing. Transit (moving) planets touring your twelfth house can bring some temporary energy for twelfth house matters. It can be strongest with transit Saturn, since the lessons you need to work on and baggage you need to let go of can feel stronger. Transit planets aspecting your natal 12th house ruler can stimulate twelfth house energy as well, and conjunctions, squares, and oppositions by transit Saturn, Uranus, Pluto, or Chiron can be especially challenging, yet you may struggle with seeing things realistically and need to remove to veil clouding your vision.For everyone, look to the Zodiac sign your twelfth house falls in.

Some may have a super strong natal twelfth house. This can be the case for you if you have: - a stellium (3+ planets) in the 12th house - your Sun, Moon, or Chiron in the 12th house - your North or South Node in your 12th house - your 1st house ruler in the 12th house - your 12th house cusp or ruler anaretic (at 29 degrees) - retrograde Mercury, Venus, or Mars in the 12th house or ruling the 12th house When you have a strong 12th house, you're someone who likely hides a LOT in your life. You keep everything from others, and may have many secrets. None of them may be super bad, but you're likely not comfortable sharing and are far from an open book. You have to learn to open up more. There may be a lot of baggage you have to work on letting go of. You may struggle with issues from childhood or from past lives, and have many lessons to learn. Therapy can be a very good thing for you. You can be super compassionate and empathetic, yet struggle to convey these things clearly. You may sacrifice yourself to help others, but it may not actually be necessary for you to do that if you just open up more. There can be a lot in your subconscious you need to consciously connect to. Worry less about what people will think or say, and more about your own opinions of yourself. 12th House Themes:The Hidden
The twelfth house is the house of the hidden, so anything that is with the 12th house is hidden energy. It operates on a subconscious level, and it's something we have to work on consciously connecting with. Twelfth house energy can come out when we're alone, when we're working behind the scenes in the background, and when we're out of the spotlight. We have to be comfortable, and we have to trust others around us, otherwise we have to be alone. Karma Karma is associated with the 12th house, and this can be where we have karmic lessons to learn and karmic baggage to work through. When other people connect to our 12th house, we may have a karmic connection with them. Artistry The twelfth house is super creative, ruling the arts and imagination. This can be a way of expressing ourselves without relying on conscious thought, and we can nonverbally communicate through something artistic, creative, imaginative, and fantastically unreal. There is a connection to energy that is outside of ourselves, and this can be difficult to control. Creativity offers a way to do that. Spiritual Being ruled by Neptune, the twelfth house is a spiritual house. It governs our spiritual selves, how and where we find our spiritual beliefs, and what we connect with on a spiritual level. This can also show a strong intuition, since we're connected to the subtle energies all around us with this house. Sacrifice The twelfth house rules sacrifice, and what's associated with this house may show where we sacrifice in our lives. It doesn't have to be a permanent sacrifice, but it can be one that is profound and has a lasting impact on uis. We can learn through loss and gain more compassion through pain with this house, and our empathy increases, and we want to do more. Volunteer work is ruled by this house. Self-Undoing This is the house of self-undoing, and we can be our own worst enemy with the twelfth house. It can show how and where we get in our own way, and have to learn to stop working against our own interests. This can relate to old baggage, both in our early lives as well as karmic. The eleventh house in astrology is a place of major change. It comes after the practical, goal-oriented tenth house, and finds new ways to go into the future. The eleventh house comes before the twelfth house, prepping us for the end. Natal 11th House:Astrology charts have 12 houses, and each link to different parts of life. Your natal chart is a snapshot of the locations of the planets, other bodies, and houses in the Zodiac at the moment you're born and from the location you're born at. Each of your natal houses connects to different parts of your life and personality. The eleventh house is ruled by Uranus, unconventional and iconic. Uranus helps the eleventh house color outside the lines and push outside of comfort zones. For everyone, look to the Zodiac sign your eleventh house falls in. The areas of life ruled by that sign are where you can change, be unconventional, and dream. Also look to the natural planetary ruler of your eleventh house (the natural planetary ruler of the Zodiac sign your eleventh house falls in) as this can also connect to the eleventh house energy. If you have any natal planets in your eleventh house, this can make the eleventh house energy a lot stronger for you. That planet has a strong impact on your dreams, your individuality, and your friends. Transit (moving) planets touring your eleventh house can bring some temporary energy for eleventh house matters. This can impact your ability to have hope, pursue your dreams, and be true to yourself. Transit Saturn may be the most difficult since it's such different energy and restrictive, and you may have lessons to learn around being who you are and embracing what's different. Transit planets aspecting your natal eleventh house ruler can stimulate eleventh house energy as well, and conjunctions, squares, and oppositions by transit Saturn, Uranus, Pluto, or Chiron can be especially challenging and impact your future and individuality. You may feel stifled, want to give up on your dreams, and have difficulties with friends. Some may have a super strong natal second house. This can be the case for you if you have: - a stellium (3+ planets) in the 11th house - your Sun, Moon, or Chiron in the 11th house - your North or South Node in your 11th house - your 1st house ruler in the 11th house - your 11th house cusp or ruler anaretic (at 29 degrees) - retrograde Mercury, Venus, or Mars in the 11th house or ruling the 11th house When you have a strong 11th house, this can mean your future is super important to you, and you can have big dreams and be hopeful about what you're capable of building. You can also embrace change, and likely need quite a bit of it in your life or you get bored quickly. You're a true individual, and you need to celebrate what makes you so unique. Boxing yourself in only hurts you severely. But friends are also important for you, so you're someone who needs to both be true to yourself, and also finds your place where you can be true to yourself, with others who celebrate your true self. 11th House Themes:Hopes and Dreams for the Future
The eleventh house in astrology rules your hopes and dreams for the future. How you find hope, what you dream of, and the kind of future you want to have can be found here. This is where you focus on what you want your future to look like, and what gives you hope. The Unexpected The eleventh house in astrology is also an unexpected place. This is thanks to the fact it's governed by Uranus, and Uranus doesn't like to let things be the same or mundane. We can experience unexpected developments with the eleventh house, and we can almost crave this. If things get too boring, we can go a little wonky with the eleventh house. The eleventh house wants sudden and unexpected, and can thrive under this. Individuality The eleventh house rules individuality and nonconformity. We're all unique individuals, no one else is just like us, and this house embraces that. The eleventh house is where we're true to ourselves and embrace what makes is different How well you embrace your differences, how much you embrace individuality, and whether you're comfortable with it or not can be found with this house. The Unconventional The eleventh house rules the unconventional. Its previous house, the tenth house, is traditional and the way things have always been. The eleventh house wants to gut that and push outside of comfort zones to find more room for growth. The eleventh house wants to explore what's different, what's way out there, to find even more for our lives. How comfortable you are with this and how much you need to go against the grain and with what can be found here. Friends and Groups The eleventh house rules your friends, and the kind of people you attract as friends, the nature of your friendships, and your approach to friendships can be found here. The eleventh house also rules groups, so this can be the groups you belong to and participate in, as well as how comfortable you are in groups and before the masses. The famous among us can often have strong eleventh houses. Change The eleventh house connects to change thanks to being ruled by Uranus, the planet of change. We don't like things to stay the same with the eleventh house. What you need to change, your approach to change, and the changes you experience can be found here, along with your Uranus. How comfortable you are with changes, and how you make changes yourself, can be found with the eleventh house. Causes The eleventh house rules our causes, and these are the causes that we invest ourselves in, where we want to have a broad impact on the masses, the collective. This can be seen as a way of making a mark that lasts long after us, and can be used to help us connect with like-minded people. Your approach to causes, the causes you pick up, and how you manage them can be found with this house. This is where you care about the most people as a whole and want to have a larger impact, whereas the twelfth house is where you want to help one person at a time. The tenth house in astrology is where we're striving. It comes after the big-thinking ninth house, where we explore what's possible, and tries to ground this energy by being practical and making plans for those big ideas. This prepares for the eleventh house, where we focus on the future and make changes. Natal 10th House:Astrology charts have 12 houses, and each link to different parts of life. Your natal chart is a snapshot of the locations of the planets, other bodies, and houses in the Zodiac at the moment you're born and from the location you're born at. Each of your natal houses connects to different parts of your life and personality. The 10th house is ruled by Saturn, the disciplinarian. The 10th house gets that disciplined, productive, practical energy, and it's where we have to do things the right way and for the right reasons, Saturn-style. Since it's connected to Saturn, it can also show where we bloom late. For everyone, look to the Zodiac sign your tenth house falls in. The areas of life ruled by that sign tie into your goals and direction. Also look to the natural planetary ruler of your tenth house (the natural planetary ruler of the Zodiac sign your tenth house falls in) as this can also connect to the 10th house energy. If you have any natal planets in your tenth house, this can make the tenth house energy a lot stronger for you. That planet has a strong impact on your goals, your life path, and your responsibilities. Transit (moving) planets touring your tenth house can bring some temporary energy for tenth house matters. This often directly impacts your goals, your ability to succeed or how, and making progress or taking responsibility. Transit Jupiter or Saturn in the 10th house are often the greatest periods in your life for success (you'll experience Saturn once or twice in your adult life, and Jupiter 3-4 times). Transit planets aspecting your natal 10th house ruler can stimulate tenth house energy as well, and squares and oppositions by transit Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, or Chiron can be especially challenging and impact your progress. You may experience blocks, uncertainty, or outright failure. There is likely something to be learned from this. Some may have a super strong natal tenth house. This can be the case for you if you have: - a stellium (3+ planets) in the 10th house - your Sun, Moon, or Chiron in the 10th house - your North or South Node in your 10th house - your 1st house ruler in the 10th house - your 10th house cusp or ruler anaretic (at 29 degrees) - retrograde Mercury, Venus, or Mars in the 10th house or ruling the 10th house When you have a strong 10th house, this can mean your goals are super important for you. You likely constantly strive for something and have a strong desire and motivation to achieve and succeed in life. You want to create something, build something, reach high places and become an impressive person. This may come with extra responsibilities though, and you likely have to learn how to manage them. You also likely have to learn how to go easy on yourself, especially when you experience failure that is largely out of your control. You can succeed 100% of the time, and you don't need to beat yourself up over that. Once you learn that, it can open up more pathways for you. 10th House Themes:Career and Goals
The tenth house in astrology is best known as the house of career and goals. This is one of the professional houses (along with the second house = money and sixth house = work), and the tenth house often directly ties into the career you have and goals you pursue. This is where we strive to achieve and succeed. It's where we make progress, get recognition, hit our stride, and hit new heights. The tenth house often ties to the Midheaven (or Zenith), which is the highest point in any chart. Life Path and Direction The tenth house also rules your life path and direction. This makes sense since it rules your goals, so this ties into the path you take for success, and the direction you go in to achieve what you set out to do. This path can be long sometimes, and windy sometimes, and it's one that goes on for all of our lives. This house can tie into later parts of our life as a result. Disciplined The tenth house connects to discipline since it's governed by Saturn. This is where we need to buckle down, get focused, and stick to our plans. We can put plans together that are thorough and detailed, and we can be smart with our actions. Our approach must be disciplined, in the way of Saturn, otherwise we may not make it. This is an area of hard work, smart work, but putting in the work for the long haul. Authority The tenth house rules authority figures, and connects with leadership (along with the first house). The tenth house is our bosses, CEOs, judges, and the like. This can represent our bosses, but it can also show us as the boss. How comfortable you are with being the boss and your approach to taking the lead can be found with the 10th house. Are you strict? Quiet? Charming? Comedic? Maturity The tenth house connects to maturity, and it's a house where we can take things seriously. The tenth house is the season to be practical, focused, and take a mature approach. Being governed by Saturn, the tenth house doesn't like it when we're childish or reckless. We need to be mature, and we need to grow up. Ethical The tenth house connects to ethics, and it's a house where we have to do things the right way and for the right reasons (thanks to Saturn). We often don't experience the tenth house success that is possible if we don't behave ethically. Challenging transits to the 10th house can also show failure, being exposed as a fraud, or humiliation, as a result of not following the rules. The tenth house knows the rules are there for a reason. Responsibilities The tenth house rules responsibilities, and can show how much responsibility you take on, and how well you manage responsibility. With a loaded tenth house, you may be someone others naturally look to be the responsible one, and this can tie into your authority energy. A challenged tenth house can show you struggle with responsibility, are easily overwhelmed, or have been burned too much by it. You may need to work on boundaries and give yourself more grace. The ninth house in astrology is a happy house, and one of the more positive areas of your natal chart. This isn't a dark and depressing place, this is a light and happy one. Natal 9th House:Most astrology charts have 12 houses, and each rule different parts of life. Your natal chart is a snapshot of the locations of the planets, other bodies, and 12 houses in the Zodiac at the moment you're born and from the location you're born at. Your natal houses each rule different parts of your life and personality. The ninth house is naturally ruled by Jupiter, the happy planet ruling expansion. Jupiter wants to go big, and doesn't see the point in being serious or down about life when there are so many possibilities. For everyone, look to the Zodiac sign your ninth house falls in. The areas of life ruled by that sign are where you need space, think big, and are optimistic. Also look to the natural planetary ruler of your ninth house (the natural planetary ruler of the Zodiac sign your ninth house falls in) as this can also connect to the 9th house energy. If you have any natal planets in your ninth house, this can make the ninth house energy a lot stronger for you. That planet can strongly connect with your expansion, learning, travel, and beliefs. Transit (moving) planets touring your ninth house can bring some temporary energy for ninth house matters. It can be especially strong when it's transit Mars (drive for expansion), transit Saturn (lessons with beliefs), transit Uranus (unconventional beliefs), transit Pluto (powerful bold communications), or transit Chiron (focusing on healing wounds of expansion, optimism, or beliefs). Transit planets aspecting your natal 9th house ruler can stimulate ninth house energy as well, and conjunctions, square, and oppositions by transit Saturn, Uranus, Pluto, or Chiron can be especially challenging and require a lot of focus on your beliefs and expansion. Some may have a super strong natal ninth house. This can be the case for you if you have: - a stellium (3+ planets) in the 9th house - your Sun, Moon, or Chiron in the 9th house - your North or South Node in your 9th house - your 1st house ruler in the 9th house - your 9th house cusp or ruler anaretic (at 29 degrees) - retrograde Mercury, Venus, or Mars in the 9th house or ruling the 9th house When you have a strong 9th house, your beliefs can be super important for you, and you may be a staunch defender of the beliefs you have. You may struggle if the beliefs you grew up with aren't the ones you identify with as an adult, and have to work to be true to yourself. You may be someone who needs a lot of space to expand and explore the world, and learning can best be done for you when you're experiencing life for yourself. This may lead to a lot of failures, but you end up lucking your way into something better. You can see the bright side to most situations, and you can see the big picture relatively easily. This opens up opportunities to you all of the time. 9th House Themes:Expansion
The ninth house is a house of expansion since it's ruled by Jupiter. It can show how we expand, where we focus on expanding, and what we want to expand. We can be open and willing to pursue opportunities with the ninth house, and want to see what else there is out there. Higher Learning The ninth house is the house of higher learning, so this is learning beyond your primary education. It can show where we gain a lot of knowledge, and this knowledge can come conventionally in school, but also through life experience. Life can be the best teacher according to the ninth house. Long-distance Travel The ninth house rules long-distance travel, so these are places you can't get to by car or walking. Airplane travel is ruled by the ninth house, and this house can show your approach to long-distance travel, how you want to do it, where you want to go, and what you gain from it. Beliefs The ninth house is the house of beliefs, and astrology differentiates between your values with the second house and spirituality with the twelfth house. The ninth house is political beliefs, but also religious ones (different from spirituality, which isn't necessarily religion-connected). Big Picture The ninth house is a big picture house. It can show your approach to the big picture, where you need the big picture, and how you can also think bigger and brighter. Optimism The ninth house in astrology is an optimistic house thanks to Jupiter, and it can show how we're optimistic, what we're optimistic about, and our approach to being optimistic. It's where we don't want to be serious, and instead are adventurous, daring, and bold. Bold Communications The ninth house is a communication house (along with the third house), but this is big, bold communication. It's grand storytelling, and rules publishing, marketing, and publicity. The eighth house in astrology is a house that can seem kind of scary when you're first digging into it. This house contains a lot in its depths, and is the darkest of houses. But as always, shine a little light, and it's not quite so scary! (hopefully, anyway, ha) Natal 8th House:Astrology charts have 12 houses, and each link to different parts of life. Your natal chart is a snapshot of the locations of the planets, other bodies, and houses in the Zodiac at the moment you're born and from the location you're born at. Each of your natal houses connects to different parts of your life and personality. The eighth house is ruled by Pluto, master of the dark arts. Pluto is deep, intense, passionate, profound, and sometimes frightening. So, it's no surprise the house it connects with has this air to it! For everyone, look to the Zodiac sign your eighth house falls in. The areas of life ruled by that sign are where you can find the intensity, transformations, and more in your life. Also look to the natural planetary ruler of your eighth house (the natural planetary ruler of the Zodiac sign your eighth house falls in) as this can also connect to the 8th house energy. If you have any natal planets in your eighth house, this can make the eighth house energy a lot stronger for you. That planet has an extra degree of intensity, requires transformations, considers the darkness, but also some power in it. Transit (moving) planets touring your eighth house can bring some temporary energy for eighth house matters. It'll be most intense when it's transit Saturn, since Saturn wants us to learn lessons, and we can become much more aware of the pain of our eighth house. Transit planets aspecting your natal 8th house ruler can stimulate eighth house energy as well, and conjunctions, squares, and oppositions by transit Saturn, Uranus, Pluto, or Chiron can be especially challenging and require a LOT of focus. A major transformation is usually necessary. Some may have a super strong natal eighth house. This can be the case for you if you have: - a stellium (3+ planets) in the 8th house - your Sun, Moon, or Chiron in the 8th house - your North or South Node in your 8th house - your 1st house ruler in the 8th house - your 8th house cusp or ruler anaretic (at 29 degrees) - retrograde Mercury, Venus, or Mars in the 8th house or ruling the 8th house When you have a strong 8th house, this means a few things. You may be more prone to hiding things away deep down, running from trauma and baggage. You may be prone to more challenging feelings at times. You may have a lot of power within, but are scared of it. You may share too much of yourself or your resources with others, and not keep enough for yourself. What is most important for you is to transform. Eighth house people usually need to transform, either many times in smaller ways throughout your life, or one or two really huge times (or sometimes both!). It can be a long and hard road, but your potential is often much bigger. But, only if you can avoid total self-destruction! 8th House Themes:Intense and Passionate
The eighth house is a super intense part of your natal chart. It's passionate, just like its ruler Pluto. This can be channeled productively and used in a way that allows you to become an expert at some point. But, it can also be used for the bad too. This can become obsession, and it can be difficult to let go with the 8th house. Without a more positive purpose, it can kind of eat itself, so to speak. This energy needs direction, and it needs to be controlled as best as it can be. Transformation in All Ways The eighth house governs transformations, just as its ruler Pluto does. You'll often hear this house rules death - well, that's just seen as another transformation, going from one form to another. Pregnancy is also ruled by the eighth house, again another transformation (new life). Restoration and renovation, of buildings or cars or other objects, is also ruled by the eighth house (yet another transformation). You can see that the transformation can be literal and physical, but it also rules the transformations that are more subtle and internal. This house can show where we're constantly evolving, or where we must transform in big ways in our lives. Sexuality The eighth house connects to sex. Some will say, oh no that's the 5th house! Well, both houses do. It's sort of seen as fifth house sex is more for fun, it's lighter, and casual sex would fall under the fifth house. eighth house sex is seen as more intense, more serious, and we technically say it rules "orgasmic sex". The "orgasmic sex" rulership may come from orgasms being referred to as the "little death" (in French it's "le petit mort") - so it could just be another transformation! Other People's Money Astrology gives rulership of money to two houses, the second house and the eighth house. The second house rules your own money, so the money you make or have yourself, your own resources and what you spend on yourself. The eighth house rules other people's money, so this is any money or resources that impact or involve other people. Like: - debt - loans - inheritances - joint finances - business finances - taxes - shared resources Hence this house being called the house of death, sex, and taxes! "Shared resources" can also mean beyond just money. It can be anything that is shared with others. This is another way the 8th house connects to sex (seen as "sharing your body" with another). Also keep in mind with "inheritances" - this doesn't necessarily have to mean "money". Most of us don't inherit money, but we do inherit something else, and that can be seen through the 8th house. What You Hold Deep Inside Since the eighth house is so deep, it can be where we house what we shove away, what we don't want to face, what we're afraid to deal with. We push it further and further inside of the 8th house. The darkness within, the demons inside us all, reside there. The traumas and baggage that we run from live with them. The longer they stay there, the bigger they become, the more they fester and spread, and the worse it gets for us. Obviously this isn't good, and we really need to face it before it consumes us. Challenging Emotions With the darkness and intensity of the eighth house, it's no surprise it rules the emotions that we tend to find more challenging: - envy - jealousy - rage - hatred - hostility - vengeful I describe these as "challenging" and not "bad" because they're not really bad. No emotions are, they're neutral, it's our actions that dictate whether they're good or bad. These just may not *feel* great, and tend to be the most challenging, and we use them as an excuse for bad behavior. In typical eighth house fashion, we need to TRANSFORM these challenging emotions into something beneficial. If you're envious or jealous of someone or something, use that as fuel to inspire you. If you're full of rage and hostility, use that to motivate you to change. If you hate someone or something, recognize where that's coming from and what you can do about it. If you want revenge, look within for why you can't accept what is. Magical The eighth house rules the occult, and can be a place of magic. There's a real witchy side to this house. Power is ruled by the eighth house, and the witch can possess a deep well of power. The eighth house also wants to dig deeper, research and investigate, which can lead to great knowledge, so this house not only connects with the magic of the soul, but also the magic of science. The seventh house in astrology is where we connect with others. It's the people in our lives, the partnerships we make, and we go from all about work with the sixth house to forming connections with the seventh house, which then deepens with the eighth house. Natal 7th House:Astrology charts have 12 houses, and each link to different parts of life. Your natal chart is a snapshot of the locations of the planets, other bodies, and houses in the Zodiac at the moment you're born and from the location you're born at. Each of your natal houses connects to different parts of your life and personality. The 7th house is ruled by Venus, the planet of love and relationships. Venus and the 7th house are generally where you focus first and foremost with relationship astrology. For everyone, look to the Zodiac sign your seventh house falls in. The areas of life ruled by that sign can tie into your connections. Also look to the natural planetary ruler of your seventh house (the natural planetary ruler of the Zodiac sign your seventh house falls in) as this can also connect to the 7th house energy. If you have any natal planets in your seventh house, this can make the seventh house energy a lot stronger for you. That planet has a strong impact on your relationships, and may play a key role in the connections you make and with the people you attract. Transit (moving) planets touring your seventh house can bring some temporary energy for seventh house matters. This often directly impacts your relationships, commitments, and dealings with others. Transit Saturn in the seventh house might be the most difficult as Saturn is a restrictive planet ruling lessons, so many people tend to exit your life with transit Saturn touring your 7th house, and this can be upsetting initially, but it's usually the people that weren't good for you, or where you weren't letting yourself learn the lessons you needed to. Transit planets aspecting your natal 7th house ruler can stimulate seventh house energy as well, and conjunctions, squares, and oppositions by transit Saturn, Uranus, Pluto, or Chiron can be especially challenging and impact your relationships. Any existing relationship issues can worsen, and it's often a time for breakups and broken commitments if you don't work on the underlying issues (both of you). Some may have a super strong natal seventh house. This can be the case for you if you have: - a stellium (3+ planets) in the 7th house - your Sun, Moon, or Chiron in the 7th house - your North or South Node in your 7th house - your 1st house ruler in the 7th house - your 7th house cusp or ruler anaretic (at 29 degrees) - retrograde Mercury, Venus, or Mars in the 7th house or ruling the 7th house When you have a strong 7th house, this can mean your relationships are super important to you, and you're likely someone who thrives with a partner by your side (except with Saturn, then you might be on your own until later in life). Good connections are important for your sense of well-being, and you can feel great when you have a solid group of supportive loved ones. Being better balanced, surrounding yourself with serene people instead of chaotic ones, making helpful compromises, and striving with equality can all be an important part of who you are, and maintaining yourself. You need a relatively peaceful life with supportive people, otherwise you can feel out of balance and indecisive. 7th House Themes:Committed Relationships and Partnerships
The seventh house in astrology is best known for being the house of committed relationships and partnerships. These are the relationships we take seriously, and the people we're close to. This can include marriage and similar types of commitment, as well as business partnerships where you're more or less equals (ones where you're not fall under the eighth house). This house (along with Venus) can show who you attract into your life, what you want and need in committed relationships, and what you give in a committed relationship Other People The seventh house, generally, rules the other people in your life. This means all of them! Whenever you're having dealings with others, this is a seventh house matter (combined with whatever else rules the dealing specifically). Each house rules a specific relationship, but the seventh house is all of them in general. The seventh house shows those you're committed to, but also people who may come in and out of your life. Compromise The seventh house governs compromise, and is the house where you want to meet in the middle. It's the house ruling negotiation and mediation. This is where you want to find middle ground and are willing to compromise. The sign of your seventh house can show how you approach compromise and how well you negotiate. Balance The seventh house is on an axis with the first house, and they cut right through the very middle of the Zodiac wheel and any astrology chart. This is the axis of connections, but because of its placement, it's also focused on balance, and that's mostly funneled to the seventh house. The seventh house can show what you need in order to feel balanced, your approach to balance, and what balance looks like for you. Fairness and Justice The seventh house rules fairness and justice, so it does tie into the law (which is ruled by the ninth house). This is where we need to fight fair, and fight for justice, and where justice is more true to its ideal rather than seeking revenge or punishment (which is more eighth house). The seventh house can show where you feel more fairness and justice is needed and how you approach this. Equality The seventh house in astrology also rules equality. This is not where our connections are unequal (which can be the sixth, eighth, or twelfth houses), and instead, are the connections where we're on equal ground. The seventh house can show where you strive for equality, how you approach it, and what it looks like for you. Peace and Harmony The seventh house governs peace and harmony, and this is the house where we're anti-war and don't want to fight. That's partly why we compromise and strive for fairness with this house, since that can lead to peace and harmony. The seventh house can show where you need peace and harmony, what you can do to get it, and how you can maintain it. |
