Being the furthest place from the personal ascendant, this house has some issues of self-definition.
This is a very complex house which evokes an entire system of mirrors projected upon others and reflecting back. At close inspection, it seems that the residents of this house might not possess a whole independent personality and are missing something fundamental they are looking for within their fellowmen. They usually do not get the proper guidance they need early on, making for a personality that is quite influenced by its close associations.
One might assert that the residents are defining themselves one way or another via the significant others. They will reveal themselves through other people's behavior toward them and often they will look for spiritual teachers that will guide and lead them. Sometime they will adopt characteristics attributed to significant others. Consequently, it will be important for them to find steady partners who will embody this role. Without an available “mirror” a seventh house resident will suffer of a dreadful emptiness. They tend to be very susceptible to the general social ambiance around them.
Correspondently, there is an emphasis on other's deeds and generally on the dynamic interaction between people. Therefore the seventh house residents might be most influenced, for example, of a certain issue going on between two persons even though it does not concern them.
It is recommended to the residents of the seventh house to deal with matters in line with the sign in concern when these matters should be related to working with others one way or the other.
The residents of the seventh house are usually recognized via their pronounced open nature. Unlike the 11th house, this house is more personally oriented in its social life.
