Ruler of the 7th House in the 1st House 
You possess a strong level of charm. Your people skills are likely quite keen, in that you quickly pick up on cues in your environment. Relationships are vitally important to you, and you often, perhaps without even knowing it, tend to evaluate yourself based on how well you are getting along with others. You tend to be attracted to partners who are independent and outgoing, or who reflect the image that you project. You have an intense need to identify with your partner (or with the public), and you may often find yourself doing what it takes to please that partner (or the public).

Ruler of the 7th House in the 2nd House 
You tend to gravitate to a life partner who shares similar basic values as you. You value certainty in partnership more than almost anything. Constancy is important to you as well. Your life partner may be a good provider or could be the money manager in your relationship. Significant one-to-one relationships in your life are important to you, and you tend to hang on to people as long as you can, as you value longevity, security, familiarity, and reliability in your partnerships. You can be quite possessive of your partners. Because security is most important to you, you may tolerate unhappiness in a partnership just so that you don’t have to be the one to leave. Partnerships make you feel secure. Physical touching and closeness is important to you in your significant relationships.

Ruler of the 7th House in the 3rd House 
Communication is everything to you in a partnership. You enjoy discussions with significant others in your life, if only to bounce ideas back and forth. Movement in a relationship is important to you. You tend to like to spend a lot of time with a partner, perhaps running errands together, or simply chatting about your day. Although you enjoy talking to a partner, you also value his or her opinion, and most certainly value your partner’s involvement. You may find that your thoughts take shape more readily when you are able to hold one-on-one conversations. For example, you may come to more interesting conclusions or get your best ideas if you are speaking or writing to another person rather than simply thinking about something on your own, or jotting down your ideas. Thus you seem to need another person to help you give shape to your own ideas. This does not mean you depend on others for advice; however, you do rely on the feedback of others to stimulate your own thought processes.

Ruler of the 7th House in the 4th House 
You seek a partner who is nurturing, caring, and domestic. A feeling of security in your close personal relationships is extremely important to you. Fitting in to your sense of home and family, and your set of traditions, is important to you in a companion. You seek someone familiar and comfortable. Your life partner may be the one who provides a home base for you–a sense of comfort and security. This sometimes indicates a person who is slow to marry, if at all. This position can suggest that your relationships tend to mirror your own parents’ relationship, either in an unconscious attempt to fill emotional needs that went unfulfilled in childhood, or to cling to your roots. You tend to feel threatened when others don’t support your most basic of values. .

Ruler of the 7th House in the 5th House 
A spirit of fun, romance, and playfulness is important to you when it comes to your close relationships. You tend to depend upon a companion to stimulate your own creativity or to bring out your “inner child”. You are unlikely to marry for any other reason but love, as there is an idealistic and romantic side to you. This sometimes indicates that you look for a creative and expressive partner, or that you partner with someone in a creative endeavor on a professional level. You tend to seek a companion who enjoys similar diversions and hobbies as you do. You are quite dependent on the encouragement of your partner, and you thrive on attention from a companion. You are threatened by a person who is detached or impersonal. A relationship that is playful, reassuring, and encouraging is most attractive to you. You feed on the emotional energy of a partnership, deriving confidence from your association. You may be “in love with love”, and you tend to approach any new association with a fresh and idealistic attitude.

Ruler of the 7th House in the 6th House 
You seek a partner who is supportive of you on a day-to-day basis and with regards to the work you do. However, you may end up with someone who is too involved to the point of being meddlesome. Sometimes this indicates meeting a partner through work, or working with a partner. This may also indicate a companion who supports your work or even makes your work possible. There is a practical tone to your partnerships, and you might want to watch that they don’t grow to be relationships involving duty or obligation more than relationships just for the sake of togetherness. You do value a partner’s involvement and concern, but it must be on your own terms in order for you to feel fulfilled. This may be especially the case if the planet involved is the Sun, Mercury, Mars, or Saturn. Because this is tricky, you may end up feeling criticized or observed by your partner a little too much for your liking. There may be a strong theme of inequality, imbalance, or service in your close partnerships, especially with the Moon, Venus, or Neptune here. If you find yourself drawn to partners in need of help, you might consider that you are doing so in order to heal a part of yourself. This position can also indicate that the work you do involves service to others in one-to-one scenarios, such as counselling.

Ruler of the 7th House in the 7th House 
While the ruler of the 7th in the 5th suggests being “in love with love”, this position suggests being in love with the relationship itself. You depend a great deal on a partnership, but you must be careful not to be so focused on “the relationship” that you lose sight of the people in it! You tend to form close partnerships quite easily, perhaps feeling that life just wouldn’t be “right” without a close companion. You may find yourself attracted to partners who are strong and who tend to lead the relationship, especially if the planet involved is the Sun, Mars, or Saturn. You are a master at the art of compromise. The most positive expression of this position is partnering with someone who increases your self-confidence. The main situation to avoid here is the development of co-dependent relationships. As well, although you may be attracted to people who take charge in the relationship, you might develop resentment towards your companion over time, and passive-aggressive behaviour may be the result.

Ruler of the 7th House in the 8th House 
You are drawn to relationships that challenge you to grow and transform. In the process, you may unconsciously create challenges in your partnerships. These can take the form of “testing” your partner, although it’s unlikely to be a deliberate process. You are drawn to relationships with a “life or death” intensity. Superficial connections simply don’t satisfy you–passion and intensity are what gets you going. When you couple, you do so completely. You encounter your “shadow” through your partnerships, and you might find that relationships bring out the darker emotions in you–jealousy, manipulation, fear of betrayal, and so forth. Ultimately, however, they can also bring out your hidden strengths. Power struggles may be part of the picture. It can be hard for you to move on and get over a relationship that ends, and there can be an obsessive quality to your close relationships. Your partnerships tend to alter your life and lifestyle significantly, as you tend to throw yourself into them with passion and intensity. This position sometimes indicates that you are drawn to close companions who offer you support–moral, financial, and otherwise. On the other hand, you may be in a position to counsel others with regard to their finances.

Ruler of the 7th House in the 9th House 
Relationships must be vital and alive rather than static and routine in order for you to feel fulfilled. In some cases, the spouse comes from a culture that is very different from your own background. You might shy away from a legal commitment. Your partner brings out the philosopher or wanderer in you. Through your partnerships, you feel more adventurous, curious, and interested in exploring beyond your neighborhood and your circle. Although you may rely on others to inspire your own higher mind, you do not necessarily concur with his or her belief system. You enjoy discussing and creating your personal philosophies together with a partner. You require much more than just physical and emotional stimulation from a partner. When your higher mind is stimulated, the rest of you engages. This position also indicates a strong idealism when it comes to close partnerships. You are not one to “settle” for practical reasons or otherwise. You need to feel that the person you are with is right for you, and that is the single most important factor.

Ruler of the 7th House in the 10th House 
Partnerships are tied with career, public standing, or reputation in some manner. You may be attracted to, or attract, a partner who is a professional or authority figure, through career pursuits, or one who embodies some of the traits associated with the tenth house – someone who is competent, authoritative, hard-working, ambitious, and reputation-conscious. Some of you could be in the public eye as a result of a marriage or partnership. You tend to connect with successful or highly motivated people. You may want to feel important or special in a relationship and gravitate towards partners who provide you with these feelings. You will need to watch for relationship patterns that mimic childhood relating patterns with a strong parent. When communicating and interacting in one-on-one situations, you may take on a parental role, or you seek out people who take on a parental role.

Ruler of the 7th House in the 11th House 
Friendships can be tied to partnerships in some manner with the ruler of the seventh house in the eleventh house. You are an idealist when it comes to partnerships. It’s extremely important to you that a partner share similar ideals, concerns, interests, and goals. You can be attracted to, or you attract, people who are independent, unusual, and unique. You may easily feel stifled if a partner centers most of his/her attention on you and your relationship, favoring at least a fair level of freedom in your connections. You typically do not smother a partner, and you prefer a partner who also allows you the freedom to be yourself and to pursue some independent activities. You can be a wonderful spokesperson who is able to connect well with a crowd.

Ruler of the 7th House in the 12th House 
Close partnerships or marriages can be rather complex. There can be a theme of “saving” in your relationship – where one of you required special support or attention and this bonded you together, for example. You may be attracted to relationships that are unbalanced in power, that require some level of sacrifice or support, or that is private, mysterious, and possibly even reclusive. There is a tendency for you or your partner to give a lot of yourselves. You are unlikely to be very public about your close relationships, preferring to keep them private, or in some cases, finding it necessary to keep them private, secret, or mysterious. You may need to watch for tendencies to bear too much in a relationship, to sacrifice too many things for a partner, to play the role of victim or savior, and to one day resent any of these things.
