The first of the social houses, the seventh house is opposed to the first house literally and in emphasis: in the first house we put our energies into the world; in the seventh the world puts energy back into us. The purpose of the seventh house is to bring about greater self-awareness through relating to what we experience as being outside of ourselves. This may in fact be energy within us that we have rejected out of fear or the need to experience it more objectively or externally. This is called projection, and we seek projected parts of ourselves in our intimate relationships.

Thus the seventh house rules intimate one-to-one relationships of all kinds (including marriage, business and counseling relationships), open enemies and conflicts, lawsuits and the lower courts. Planets in the seventh house indicate areas in our lives that need relationships to bring them out, and the houses ruled by seventh house planets are those "areas." Many planets here indicate many needs that we are looking for others to fill. In this case many relationships (or more than one marriage) is probable, as it’s unlikely that one individual would fill all those needs. Individuals with so much projected energy feel a void in their lives, and may encourage others to be dependent, or even pick fights rather than be alone.

The seventh house is that one-twelfth sector of the local sky just above the western horizon (see above picture) occupied by planets in the two hours just before they set.

In this incarnation you will be required to learn to consider and adjust to the needs and wishes of others: your partner in intimate one-to-one relationships will hold the power. This is a necessary condition that you chose as a disincarnate soul waiting to be born in order to learn the lessons that you need to learn. Don't fight it; it'll only be waiting for you around the corner until you learn what you have to learn. You love a social life: friends and relationships play a major role in your makeup. 

If the Sun is within 12° of the descendant (seventh house cusp), then it is conjunct the descendant and much of the foregoing is even more strongly emphasized. If the Sun is in the sixth house AND within 4° or 5° of the descendant, then it is said to be on the "dark side" of the seventh house, and its influence will be felt in the seventh as well as in the sixth house. The closer a sixth house Sun is to the descendant, the more it will be interpreted as though it were in the seventh house; when less than 3° from the descendant, a sixth house Sun expresses itself primarily—and eventually entirely—in the seventh house.

Famous people born about the same time of day as you (Sun in the seventh house) are Warren Beatty, Annie Besant, Robert Cummings, Doris Day, Clint Eastwood, Mary Baker Eddy, Sigmund Freud, Katherine Hepburn, Hermann Hesse, Adolf Hitler, Dustin Hoffman, Jill St. John, Jack Kerouac, Carole Lombard, Elizabeth Montgomery, Debbie Reynolds, Linda Ronstadt, Omar Sharif and H. G. Wells.
