What Role the Seventh House Plays in Your Life?
Since the Seventh House represents our Quest for Guidance, it is the area of the chart representing that quest by Signs and Points (if any are in this segment of the chart). If you have no Points in this House or Sign, then the energy is waiting to respond. Therefore, Points that progress or transit into this House will activate the energy at specific times in your life. People who have Points in the Sign that rules your 7th House will also activate this area of your life.
If you have a Point or several Points in this House, then the values and concerns of this House will take on the Significance of the Point or Points involved. Suppose your Sun occupies this House. If so, then your Life Path will be devoted to “what you seek to harmonize in yourself that externalizes through your relationships with others”. Your approach to marriage/commitment, friendships, and relationships, in general, will take on primary importance in your life journey.
