What is the 7th House?
In astrology, the 7th house is opposite the Ascendant and is also called the Descendant. While the 1st house represents your self-image, the 7th house represents how you relate to others in one-on-one partnerships. It governs marriage, business partnerships, contracts, and even open enemies.
