Important Considerations
The 7th House is not just about “spouse/partner” — it encompasses a wide spectrum of “contractual relationships” such as hostilities, legal processes, business partnerships, and public relations. The qualities observed in the 7th house are generally seen in “the people we are dealing with,” but essentially we learn about ourselves through these relationships — meaning partner patterns largely stem from us.
