In a natal chart, the seventh house is the area of life that holds partnership, marriage, and the significant other. Its natural sign is Libra. Where a planet's sign describes its style, its house describes the arena of life where that style plays out.
What the seventh house means
The seventh house is the other: marriage and close partnership, the people you meet as equals, and the qualities you tend to find in them that you have not yet claimed in yourself. It is the mirror a one-to-one relationship holds up.
