Astrology provides much insight into our personalities, careers, and relationships. You may be familiar with your zodiac sign, which refers to astrology and is determined by birth, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg!
The birth chart is divided into 12 houses, and each house contains a zodiac sign. Today we are looking at relationships in your life, which falls in the 7th house. The reason the 7th house is linked to relationships is because this house is ruled by Venus, the planet of love, and Libra, a sign ruled by Venus. Libra is about partnerships and getting along with others.
How do you find out which sign is in your 7th house? It’s in your natal or birth chart, which you can complete right now with our free Birth Chart Generator!
You will need to know your exact time of birth. This is because it’s important to know which planets were in which signs at the exact moment you were born – the stars, planets and zodiac signs painted a picture in the sky at the exact time of your birth – which is how we can decipher your individual chart and how you differ from someone who was born in a different city or in a different year.
Once you know which sign is in your 7th house, we can help you decode how to interpret your relationships. You’ll be able to understand the qualities you look for in your relationships, and why you’re attracted to certain people and not to others. You will be surprised at how accurately it decodes your own attractions!

Aquarius in the 7th House

Conclusion
Just viewing astrological compatibility based on Sun sign is really limiting and often times not accurate. It also explains why you can be completely turned off by one Gemini but then wildly attracted to another.
Relationships don’t stop with your romantic partnerships either. Astrology helps explain the qualities you admire in people as well as the qualities you dislike. You can see how you’re usually drawn to be friends with the same qualities you admire based on your 7th house.
The 7th house is the house of marriage, but we are all quite aware that work is often a second marriage. We often choose platonic, non-romantic partnerships with just as much scrutiny, considering we can very easily spend more time with a “work wife” than the person we are actually married to, right?
If you can’t communicate and relate to someone you spend 40 hours a week or more with, chances are you’re not going to be a happy camper.
Understanding astrology can help you in the long run when choosing partners and jobs. In order to look past the allure of a big paycheck or a very physically attractive person, you can look to the 7th house to see if there is long-term satisfaction on the table.
Doing this is getting real with who you are and who you’re going to jive with. We aren’t all wired to speak the same language, even if we are from the same place! Goals and life views we want to see in others are revealed through the helpful tool of the 7th house and how we interpret astrology today.
