When it comes to relationships, you could be drawn to people who are either financially secure or emotionally stable.The 7th is about the partnerships and projections. And with your Sun in Taurus, this is the idealized version of you projected to your partner.
You could find yourself drawn to committing to someone who is sweet,stable,consistent and calm. They could also be financially astute/well off or at least economically wise.
The nature could be of someone very affectionate /sexual and very demonstrative when it comes to commitment. Not to mention physically attractive
Depending on where your Moon/Venus is, such a person could challenge your views on love/affection/intimacy and sex.
Uranus ruled Aquarius on the Ic definitely suggests that you may have some issues with closeness/ intimacy. Either you prefer lukewarm physical contact or you are more comfortable with emotional distance between you and the partner. Sometimes even insisting on personal space etc.
The thing is that with pets, the love/affection is unequal and there as imbalance i e you can pull away at any given time without explanation and come back whenever you want.(Uranus)
But with the 7th , you are dealing with an "equal". The individual talks back,is their own person and the balance of power is equal. You can't come and go if and when u choose. They want stability and consistency from you and force you to grow.
Pets are great as an instrument to demonstrate love. But you should ask yourself if you are avoiding human contact by using them as a substitute?
