hi ladycourt,
Did you post your info? if so I haven't found it yet, please leave it. Do you have 3 Rx planets? Jupiter (1) Saturn (2) and Pluto (4) Are those it? let me know for right now we'll do your 7th house Sun

Sun in the 7th house

(Bill Herbst)

Mirrored Awareness: In the 7th house, the Sun indicates that you've come to the Earth to discover yourself through the contact you make with other human beings. This mirroring is crucial, for it's the way you plug into Cosmic Central. Every time you relate to someone, every time you even consider relating, you energize yourself. The pitfall lies in believing that the other person is the energy source. The challenge is to maintain the self-awareness you create through relationship, so that your awareness continues even when relatedness isn't present. In that way, each new encounter, whether with the same or a different person, builds on a previous foundation, the comprehension of who you truly are.

Equal partnerships: The face that you tap into power through relationships doesn't mean you need to be with a partner twenty-four hours a day. In fact, it is essential that once you have established a significant relationship, you then use the energy it generates to further your own singular pursuits. Thus, the pitfall is the tendency to become overly dependent on your partners, to feel incomplete without them, and, as a result, to diminish your sense of self. The challenge is to create partnerships that are mutually supportive to the unique life-paths of both partners. Do not become One with another, but instead stay in the dynamic, unresolved polarity of two-ness.

Contracts, commitments: Commitment is life-affirming; noncommitment is life-denying. Honoring promises furthers life-purpose; breaking promises damages it. That much is simple. What is not so simple are the intricacies of distinguishing a good commitment from a bad one. Relationships manifest the extraordinary paradoxes of being alone and being together; and it is easy to lose our bearings. Partnership is a two-way street, involving mutuality by two individuals, yet each of us alone must decide for ourself what we want and are willing to promise. Fo not commit to someone else, for that surrenders your essence. Instead, commit to the willingness to share yourself with another.

Co-operation: If, for any reason, you experience confrontation rather than negotiation, defiance rather than compromise, or opposition rather than co-operation, your life-purpose falters. The more you are able to see and understand the other's point of view - without giving up your own - the more vital your life becomes. Back away from relatedness when compromise is temporarily impossible. See the ebb and flow as natural, not as winning or losing. Anything can be negotiated between partners if there is sufficient time, interest, and good faith. So look for partners who will negotiate with you, partners who understand that compromise does not - and should not - require winners and losers.

Natural partner or partnership: Your natural partner embodies essential power and visible dignity. This peron's life-purpose should affect you deeply; you feel yourself responding, moved by the sense of meaning in your partner's journey. Your mate must have a stronger-than-average will, a central core with real power. There's a radiance that others besides you can see.

A natural partnership stimulates your pride, not the false glory of ego-centered vanity, but the pride that results from recognition of your essential wholeness, and from the increasing ability to express yourself in open and fulfilling ways. It should clarify your life; and though it cannot hold the limelight - that is for the self alone - it must occupy a position near center-stage in your existence. The image is dawn, with the sun breaking through the clouds, rising to warm the earth and evaporate the mists.

Thank you Linda!

I posted my info in a few different places but here it is again:

February 6th, 1979

Fresno, CA.

You are correct in my retrograde planets.

The piece on Sun in the 7th definately makes sense. There was a part of me that did not feel "complete" until I found my husband and got married, even though I am completely individual and like to do things alone. I am able to be more of myself with him, than I was before we met. I do have a tendency to want to meld to the point of losing myself and have a struggle between being one and being two seperate entities commited to sharing. In other partnerships and relationships, I definately feel deflated when conflict arises. I really don't know what to do in those situations.

My main struggle with my chart is the dichotomy between my sun in 7th Aquarius and my rising Leo. It's a big self vs. others conflict. I bounce between one and the other and can't seem to find compromise.

Thanks again!
Courtney
