The 7th House and Relationships
How we begin to fall in love with "being with someone"
The 7th House is one of our favorite houses. It is generally associated with relationships, and in many cases, it is identified as the house of partnership.
It makes sense that we see the 7th House in this way, as this house emphasizes the cognition of being in relation, that is, the mental and emotional process through which we recognize and harmonize with others.
The 7th House and Its Approach to Relationships
In the Air Element (Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius), the 7th House highlights the importance of communication, the exchange of ideas, and intellectual connection. Those with their 7th House in an Air sign seek relationships that stimulate their mind and allow them to share thoughts and learn from each other.

The ideal relationship is seen as a source of energy and enthusiasm, where the connection is based on shared adventure and mutual motivation. Harmonization arises from stimulation and challenge, pushing each other towards growth and exploration.
In the Earth Element (Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn): Security, stability, and practicality define the approach to relationships. The 7th House in an Earth sign seeks enduring bonds, based on trust and shared commitment towards common goals. Harmonization is found in building a solid foundation together, in reliability, and mutual support.
In the Water Element (Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces): Emotions, intuition, and deep emotional connection are paramount.
