I wonder, do you project your 7th house planets'/traits unto others? Can you give some stories/examples?

Yes I do. Empathy. I really fall very hard for men or female friends who displays empathy and high eq. in the end I always find they were nearly not as high in empathy as I thought they were. Often in the beginning they also do their best to show empathic sides, like they sense this is my weakness, that I will fall hard for that. Or I just attract guys who promotes empathy and eq as a flirting tool.

I have pieces Dsc. Neptune square Venus. Neptune to Sun and Mercury and Mc.
Or if we go by old rulers, Jupiter conjunct Venus.
I go the extra mile and some more for those I love. Showering them with affection and care.
I can’t with people who don’t show empathy for others, for animals or people in need. Or for themselves!

Anyways I often find that the empathy and care I saw in the other was , seing myself in the other... And that theirs were just a weak mirage...

For now this is how I experienced it so far but what do I know, maybe I stop seing the others empathic sides after some time bc negative stuff happens and I only start to see the negatives in that person.. can be..

Absolutely agree with Melinn. I have quite a busy 7th house and think the projection works both ways really i.e as you perceive, others expect etc

To me its like the 7th is also an unconscious social contract one has with others to respond in a "particular" way.

I for instance feel like it is expected of me to take the lead or do things myself.That is if I don't "take charge" or actively pursue something, I will be held personally accountable for failure(Mars).

When I was younger,I was expected to succeed in things or beat the competition. It was a way of "earning" approval.So i guess it may have morphed to social "approval".

I also learned that I was expected to be "deep" like Huey from "The Boondocks".I had to look at what lies beneath and be the one to solve psychological puzzles.
( Pluto in 7th).

Also included therein was the perception that others expected maturity from me and so my interactions with people are more formal,proper and structured(Saturn).

Whilst there is also a part of me that feels like I am expected to look good/be aesthetically pleasing and make people smile etc.(Venus)

Mars/Pluto/Saturn/Venus all interating with the 7th.Its no wonder I steer clear of relationships. I fear so much projection on myself that there will be no time to be me.

I didn't see it before but I realize my Sun/Neptune/ Jupiter/Mercury in 9th serves more as a hologram than a definitive identity.

Its the 7th house angle planets that I am really serving. Trying to live up to external expectations and perceived "approval".

This was definitely a blind spot for me and I did project my 7th house onto what I was looking for in a husband. I have Taurus in Jupiter 7th house and while it's fair to say that my marriage brought an increase in possessions and wealth, yada, yada, yada; my ex was also very authoritarian and controlling. We were very young when we married, it's fair to say I was looking for someone who would be stable (which he wasn't) and would be able to provide a good life for us(me). I thought I loved him, I have a lot of Neptune to back up my romantic projections. I learned from that & now I take responsibility and care of myself instead of projecting that on to my partner.
