I've been slightly confused on the 7th house. It is the House of Partnerships, and it gives insight in to what you are attracted to in a partner. I read somewhere that the 7th house tells you the type of person you are attracted to but it doesn't mean that you will end up with that person?

Is it really a determinant of how many marriages one will have?

7th house in Gemini.

Last question first. I don't believe that astrology says how many marriages, children, or anything else you will have. But that's my Saturn Rx opposing Uranus talking. Free will and all.

The 7th is the house of qualities you look for in others and may feel you lack in although you may have more in yourself than you think. For instance, I look for more stable, practical people with Taurus Dsc. I may feel I lack those qualities, but others sense that I can be down to earth.

The ruler of my 7th is Venus in Cancer and I find Cancer qualities attractive, but that is also because its Venus and natural for a man to find the qualities of his Venus desirable in a woman. I tend not to attract the sign on my 7th directly in a romantic sense though, despite both Jupiter and Mars in the sign and in the 7th.

It's the house of open partners and open enemies. I've had several extremely close friends who are the sign on my 7th, including my former boss and mentor.

I find this house to depict IME, the "flavour" of the individual that I am attracting.

Since you have the 7th house in Gemini, it is likely that you may search for partners who are talkative, responsive, playful and "airy"(Gemini traits). Or find it easy to attract them.

But this will not work in isolation, as you should also look at Sun, Moon, Venus, Mars as well as outer planet placements reacting with Mercury(ruler of the 7th)

Mars often indicates sexual attraction.
Venus is romantic aptitude.
Sun puts your ego and sense of self right in there
Moon is how you receive/ expect in as far as being "nurtured" is concerned. It is also about security needs and attachment probability.

The outer planets also bring in their own flavour. But I will not get into that

With Mars/Venus involved(classically sexual planets),the relationships may be very romantic and passionate.

If Mercury aspects Moon/Sun(or aspects the Moon/Sun midpoint), then the relationship is likely to be extremely important in your sense of identity. Who you are and as far as your emotional needs are concerned.

If Mercury aspects the ruler of the Asc, it is important that your relationship"mirrors" you in significant ways.

The partner may even "look" or behave the way you do. You may pay attention to how the partner externally projects themselves a lot

If Mars is in the 7th and in Gemini. The partner may be sexy(even when "ugly" by conventional standards). But very argumentative when not chatty-since Mars in Gemini tends to be.

If Venus is in the 7th and in Gemini. The partner is likely to be beautiful, attractive, charming and good with words. They like to be romantic and will often express their affection through words.

But as with Venus in Gemini, watch out for a wandering eye and a tendency to have more than one relationship going at a time.

Everything overlaps. So I wouldn't advise one to look at one particular chart placement and judge from there.

I agree with that it doesn't always work in isolation. I have a Pisces Dsc and have attracted SO many Pisces Suns I can't even recall how many! However, it's never been that prefect fit to be honest. They are too.....something I don't like. I much prefer Saggis since ruler of my 7H is Neptune and I have a Saggi 4H Neptune. I also have Jupiter in 9H. I feel "home" with Saggis

My husband has a Pisces Asc and he is just the right amount of Pisces for me to handle.

I'm also confused about 7th house. I have Virgo DC with it's ruller Mercury in Virgo in 6th (2 deegers from DSC).
Also have Venus in Libra in 7th.

I've never been attracted to Virgo types, this is so strange to me. I am usually (unfortunately) attracted to Cancers (Mars in Cancer in 4th). ALso Cancer rules my 5th cusp.

So, I can't quite figure this 7th house and how it projects :/
