All about the Descendant 7th house astrology


The Descendant cusp of the 7th house
The natural house of Libra which is ruled by Venus
Angular or Cardinal house
Crystal associated with the 7th house - Rose Quartz (carry rose quartz if you want to bring more love and compassion into partnerships and relating with others)


The descendant is the sign opposite the ascendant over the western horizon at time of birth.

It represents partnerships, marriage, professional partnerships including clients and the other. It is how we engage in relationships. The  7th house is how we relate to others.

Planets in the 7th house, the ruler of the 7th house and aspects to the ruler will help determine what type of partner you are attracted to, and your wants and needs within partnerships.

For example in my chart I have Mercury in the 7th, I have attracted Geminis and Virgos into relationships.
My marriage partner is a Virgo.  My 7th house ruler is in the 1st house and with Aries on the descendant I am assertive when expressing my wants and needs in relationships.

Planets conjunct the descendant and in the 7th house will be felt by relating to others. I struggled in my early life with the Sun in the 7th house. I lacked a healthy ego expression and I was attracted to people with strong egos and personalities. Their company supplemented my lack of identity - but this was unhealthy because you need a balance in friendships and I was not giving enough. I subsequently got dumped by these friends which really hurt me. I had to learn to develop my own ego expression and now I have a very healthy and balanced experience in friendships.
