☉︎ Planet in a house

Sun in the 7th house

Your life changes most at the points where someone else walks into it: a partner, a business ally, a rival who forces you to raise your game.

What it means

Born most likely in the late afternoon, you came into the world as the Sun was heading for the western horizon. The 7th house rules marriage, committed partners, business partners, contracts and open enemies, and this placement puts identity in the house of the other person. You discover who you are through relationships. Alone you can feel slightly undefined; with the right counterpart you know exactly what you want.

This is an angular house, so the Sun is strong and visible, but its light falls on other people. The 7th is the natural house of Libra, the sign where the Sun is traditionally in fall, and there is an echo of that here: the work is keeping your own centre while you share it. People with the Sun in the 7th sometimes marry someone with the qualities they have not yet developed, then grow into those qualities themselves.

Love and relationships

Partnership is one of the main subjects of your life, and you take commitment seriously. You may be attracted to confident, successful or older partners who seem to shine the way you would like to. That works when you choose an equal and fails when you hand over the steering wheel. A good relationship for you has two people who admire each other and argue fairly about whose turn it is.

Work and money

You work best in pairs: a business partner, a co-host, a manager you trust, a client you get to know well. Law, mediation, consultancy, agency work, counselling and sales suit you, along with anything that runs on contracts. Negotiation is a real strength. Watch for giving credit away too easily, or for measuring success by how one important person sees you.

Strengths

You see the other side clearly and can broker agreements others cannot.
Commitment comes naturally, and you invest seriously in the people you choose.
Rivals sharpen you, and you learn quickly from strong opponents.

Challenges

You can lose track of what you want when a partner wants something strongly.
Choosing partners to supply qualities you lack can turn into living through them.
Being single may feel like a failure rather than a phase.

How the sign colours it

Each sign describes a different kind of partnership. In Aquarius the Sun wants a partner who is also a friend and leaves room for independence. In Scorpio the bond is intense, exclusive and slow to trust. In Leo you want a partner to be proud of, and you are generous and openly affectionate in return, though the two of you may compete for the spotlight.
