The 1st and 7th houses define the Horizon and are where we most clearly focus on the exchange between the solitary self and intimate relationship with others.

It connects to the idea of 'persona' - the part of the personality comfortably exposed to the world, and in some ways a mask behind which to protect the vulnerable inner self. By polarity, the 7th house is where that vulnerability lies and represents that which is least exposed to the world. Here is where parts of the self are not revealed except in intimacy with another. In the complex dynamics of 1st and 7th house polarity the 7th house acts as a place for the "shadow" components of the self. ...
