You also need to look at the planets in those houses.I have a Virgo rising with Pluto and Uranus in my first house (Pluto conjuncting my Ascendant). Uranus is in Libra and most of my house in in Libra. My ruler, Mercury is in Capricorn in the 4th house.
I am quite attracted and tend to attract Virgos or people with a strong Virgo influence (Virgo moons / Virgo Suns..Pluto strong in ones chart)
My 7th house is ruled by Pisces (I have Neptune in the 3rd house of communication). In my 7th house is my Aries moon (Aries also occupies a majority of my 7th house).
I have a strong affinity towards Earth men... For some reason the strong Virgo influence is also accompanied by a Taurus rising and usually their 7th house includes Neptune- it normally conjuncts my Sun or Venus.
Do I see this in my relationships? Yes, I see very strong Plutonian (and Martian themes (control) mothering themes (moon) as well as a dreamy quality that I usually cause the other to see in me (Neptune ruling 7th house).
You can either supply it or derive it. Being with a Taurus rising makes sense with my strong Plutonian conjunction. I give off Scorp signals- but also Virgo signals... yet I am still 100% Sagittarius.
I also seem to attract men that have strong first houses (either the Sun in the first- very Fire like.. Leonine or Aries).
Most of the men I have met with that Taurus rising aspect along with Neptune in their 7th house (or ANY Sag planet in that house - as they are usually late Taurus risings) will end up forming an instant bond with me. At times they will relentlessly pursue me and yet it takes them awhile to get past that Ascendant / Pluto thing to realize that the fire is not a show.. it is really me.
In the same respect - I tend to idealize the person I am with (Neptune ruling the 7th) and then pick them apart.. and most of the time run (Virgo rising - Saggie LOL)
So, it's not just about what rules the 1st and 7th it is about what is inside of those houses as well.
