Is the house it lives in one that represents what you take the most interest in?

Do you think that the point of your life rests on how fulfilled your are in that area of your life?

My Sun is in the 7th house. Is that where I express myself most?

Not if it means I express myself best as someone's partner. In a way I find that abhorrent. Astrologically, the big pointers to this would be the Sun's cohorts in a Grand Trine, Mars in Aqua and Uranus. I don't feel like I need to be someone's wife to be fulfilled in life.

But if it means close interaction with other people I can go with that. Or in the words of the Mike Skinner....

and I leave with nothing but love
everything else is just borrowed

You know the 7th House is also a house of "publicity" and how you present yourself to the world in more of a public sense than the Ascendant.

I think of Charlie Chaplin as an example. He was a 7th House Aries. Although he had a lot more that made him prominent, his 7th House Sun was one of the big bells that expressed that in his chart. There was a lot of emphasis on relationships in his life, his relationship issues became extremely public but remember that he was an icon unto himself, maybe because he was an Aries which means he had to be Number #1 and the number one leader in the film industry, which he was. He was the first international celebrity. Does any of that resonate for you?

Mercury is also in this house, so public communication is an important aspect of my life, my Sun is in Gemini. Mercury is Conjunct Venus on one side, Saturn on the other. The 7th is a bit crowded on my chart.

So yes, that does strike a chord. I can't relate to explanations that I somehow live out my need for expression through my partner. Like how? I have a mind of my own. If he tries to tell me what to say I get infuriated.

Oh, and I kept my maiden name which I have to explain too often. I don't have a big thing about it, but I'm just not into the status of being married. I'm with him because I like him, not because I feel the need to be someone's wife.

She clearly wants to send a message to the boys to say that she’s spoken for.

I find that house placements for the Sun is most important - it either intensifies the energy off it, adds interesting new elements, or sometimes just like, scatters its energies (My ex was Cappy sun in the 11th house...very un-Cappy vibes...and even flaky sometimes. The Gemini Moon influence didn't help him focus either LOL)

From a young age, I worked a lot. It was important to me to save money and be financially independent. It paid off. At an early age I was able to buy a house that I later sold and made a hefty profit off of.

I still have most of that profit, but I also lost a sizable chunk of it. I spent it on an education that I later realized was a waste. I realized the profession it was preparing me for wasn't the profession I really wanted, but instead one that I thought I should want, being studied for at a school that I should want to attend.

I've wondered what I could learn from that mistake. A lesson would make the financial loss less bitter.
