The Value of the Asteroid / Chiron Profile & Integrating the Wounded Healer

I strongly recommend the Asteroid & Chiron profile as much as a traditional Life report. Learn why:

The Asteroid Goddesses & Chiron
in the charts of women and men

 "The four (Ceres, Vesta, Juno, and Pallas) major asteroids represent the Emerging Feminine Consciousness of the 21st century.  They offer access to the right-brain side of creative visualization and thinking, relationships, and emotional sensitivity, as well as healing energies and overcoming painful experiences. Chiron, the Centaur, represents the search for a Mentor/Guide to help overcome emotional and psychological pain, especially from early childhood."

 

 In the symbolic language of astrology, the goddess asteroids provide new archetypes that specifically addressed the current psychological and social issues that arose from this activation of the feminine principle. Only two of the usual planets, the Moon and Venus, represent feminine archetypes, and these are of the mother and the wife. Until the asteroids, astrology had to fit all other women's experiences into masculine- defined archetypes. What was needed was a set of symbols by which to describe the other avenues of feminine expression that exist today. During the years since 1972 when astrologers have observed the significance of asteroids in birth charts, they have uncovered a wealth of information that adds insight and understanding above and beyond that gained from the usual ten planets. 

The Asteroid Goddesses in the Charts of Men

Just as the planets named after male gods pertain to the lives of women, these asteroids named for female goddesses are also important in the lives of men. The recognition and honoring of one's contrasexual side completes and strengthens the personality, embracing the unintegrated energies that are often sources of trouble.

Ceres expands on the Moon's symbolism by further illuminating the relationship of a man to his mother and also to women and other nurturing figures in his adult life. In addition, Ceres signifies a man's own tender, caregiving side and the ways in which this part of his nature can find expression. Typical manifestations of Ceres energies in a man are teaching and mentoring, pediatrics and pedagogy, farming and gardening, cooking and nutrition, medicine and therapy, ecology and environmental protection, and, of course, his part in helping his own children thrive and grow.

Pallas, for a man as well as a woman, can symbolize his capacity for strategy, his quest for clarity and truth, his sense of justice, the acquisition of skill and ingenuity in useful arts, and the ability to channel life energy for healing. Just as she can in women, Pallas can signify either a man's rejection of the feminine within himself, or the drive to integrate the opposite sexual polarity into his psyche. The placement of Pallas can also suggest how a man perceives the strong, independent women in his life. This usually has to do with his sense of his own competence.

Juno can signify a man's style of dealing with marriage and other forms of partnership, including, in some cases, business partnerships. Her placement determines how the struggle between the self and the other plays out, and whether the partnerships a man enters into are likely to be equal or unequal. Juno may also show the sort of wife a man is likely to pick, and his attitude toward married women in general. This asteroid has to do with the man in his procreative role as husband and father, and, by extension, in any joint venture for the production of a new entity. Just as she does for a woman, Juno may also show how a man deals with the infidelity of a partner.

Vesta signifies a man's relationship to himself as a complete being, apart from relationships with others. Her placement can suggest to a man how he can best become still, look within, and tend to Deity or his inner spirit. Just as she does in women, Vesta can also signify a man's urge to conserve and preserve the home, the state, the culture and its institutions.

The Asteroid Goddesses in the charts of women

The four (Ceres, Vesta, Juno, and Pallas) major asteroids represent the Emerging Feminine Consciousness of the 21st century. They offer access to the right-brain side of creative visualization and thinking, relationships, and emotional sensitivity, as well as healing energies and overcoming painful experiences.

 

Ceres can be seen as one of the Earth Mother archetypes: she deals with the subject’s externalization of caring and comfort to others—in effect, how the individual, regardless of gender, “mothers” another. Mother Theresa’s dedication to caring for the poor would be an archetype. Ceres can also play a role in mother-daughter power struggles in a “Snow White” dynamic with the “mirror-mirror on the wall” issue of blossoming adolescence and a jealous parent. 

 

Vesta indicates how and what an individual will sacrifice him/herself for regarding a social or personal cause or belief; a way of giving up something in service to the community, society, or for personal growth in areas like religious retreats or isolation for spiritual growth. Emily Dickinson’s withdrawal from responsibilities and social contact in order to dedicate herself to her poetry and writing is an example of a Vestal energy. Another Vestal archetype would be the men who guard the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

Juno represents the bonds and commitments of marriage, fidelity, and ownership of rights within a relationship. It shows how an individual will value and validate his/her status as a Significant Other as well as personal preferences for a mate. The separate-but-equal identity of a woman in a man’s world is represented by the lessons of Juno. The ongoing media struggles of Tiger Woods and his wife Elin would easily represent this archetype.

Pallas Athena represents the power of Creative Manifestation and acting as a spokesperson for those who need a protector, especially in gender rights issues or human rights. The DVD series about “The Secret” is an archetype, as well as Amnesty International, and the “Peaceful Warrior.” Pallas represents the ability to focus and stay on target for a goal, as well as manifestations of prosperity, success, and reward. Persistence, determination, and endurance are tests that Pallas uses to teach the psyche. Activism and participation in group or social functions that champion the underdog or defend those less capable are in this realm.

Chiron the Centaur as the Wounded Healer-Mentor in charts

Chiron is the key to a Cosmic quest for learning higher Universal values to promote growth of our soul by searching for a Teacher. It is also a search for the way to heal psychological wounds and integrate the lesson into whole-ness. This is done by blending the skills of a teacher (which is also Sagittarian in nature) and the quest for truth (also Sagittarian) as a separate identity. Last, consider the glyph, or symbol for Chiron. It appears to be a stylized key. It represents an esoteric key or tool to open a door: the doorway of change in a very personalized search in our lives for answers. And to find answers, we seek a Teacher, a Mentor, to help us learn those mysteries of Life. So we find Chiron in our Chart, to help us find what and why and whom we are searching, in that role of a Guide.

Child*Star Reports for children--and parents and grandparents

Mother's Day is coming up--AND Father's Day in June--and it takes a mother to make a man a father too. But what does this mean for parents to have the gift of a child? A child can't say to his or her parents, "This is who I am. This is what I need to express and develop in my character." 

It takes a Child*Star report to know the messages that need to be understood. It can give years of guidance that no pediatrician, grandparent, or even Mom or Dad can be without: astrological and psychological guidance.

Child*Star reports were developed by a Montessori teacher with 25 years experience--and years of raising her own children. Make a difference in a child's life and development--and your own as a parent and adult. Available for $25 via email.

An Astrological Roadmap to Awakening the Sun Sign/Soul Purpose

With credit and thanks to the original source for this:

 it's too good not to share with you.

Mars in Taurus - Steady at the helm

Mars is in Taurus from 7:48 a.m. Eastern Daylight time, April 19, 2013, through 6:39 a.m., EDT, May 31st. In the sign of the Bull and its earthy element, this is a time to Slow Down and Act with Deliberation, Purpose, and Consistency--and Get the Job Done because that's what keeps us focused. 

All manners of physical work, including exercise, should be better now: the body human and its flesh-and-blood construction, will be better able to handle requirements and functions if asked and applied. This also includes care and treatment--as in "get some quality time for relaxation and comfort." 

It's absolutely appropriate to go to the gym a bit more if you need the hands-on workout, but it's also just as important now--more than ever--to get body care, including adjustments, manipulation, or other corrective support, and also massage, reflexology, spa or other water therapies, or sensory enhancement (aromatherapy, ear candling, mud baths, or even deep soaking time in a hot tub).

Mars in Taurus is a time when intellect and decision-making moves slowly; therefore, it's absolutely correct for deep thinking, planning, strategizing, and even deliberation. It can also be beneficial for projects that would take time to fulfill or accomplish; this could be an excellent opportunity to tackle a large project that does not have a need for a fast resolution. However you use this energy, it's slow and steady--and gives a great potential for tangible rewards.

Relationship Techniques: Closeness or Distance? Personal, Social, or Global?

In synastry, I consider the energies of the signs as Indicators of Attraction: either it's a matched force or not. And if so, how does the sign and its qualities of Closeness or Distance (C&D) correspond with the partner? If you're matched with a "like-minded" polarity for C&D, then you should have a much better chance at a relationship. If not...prepare for struggle or rejection.

I've seen this referred to as Personal, Social, and Interpersonal as well. Again, in my synastry work, I go with a blend of this along with the planets and signs. But--I let the Magnetic Attractive Force be part of my answer. Are the two parties involved matched regarding their Levels of C&D? How are they suited as Personal, Social, or Interpersonal (Global)? (I credit this to Stephen Arroyo,if my memory is correct.)

Let's try it with an astrological review of Sun and Moon energies:

Aries - Personal for sure. "It's All about Me Being Important and #1!" Closeness, but beware the need for "a new conquest!" in some Aries. It's all about being involved with someone, but it could also be someone different on an ever-rotating basis depending on availability.

Taurus - Personal. "You're Mine!" Can be overly possessive of belongings and loved ones. Closeness for sensuality. Taurus holds on tight, so if you're personal-space claustrophobic, stay away. Taurus regards partners as property, so your personal value and income count too.

Gemini - Personal. "I love a good conversation!" Enjoys closeness to share ideas; more mental than physical, please. Gemini grooves on someone to talk with/to, and the intellectual stimulation leads to emotional satisfaction (especially with a Gemini Moon too).

Cancer - Personal--big time. The Apron Strings/Smothering or Deep Attachments. Closeness is a must--and family counts too. Moonchildren love the physical touch; it's all about feeling and holding someone--and if you were small enough, you'd be cradled in the Crab's embrace.

Leo - Social. "You noticed me, of course!" Leo prefers Closeness, but it's also because they need to bask in the attention they get from being loved and sharing it too. Of COURSE Leo needs someone who says "You look great! I love you!" If it's one person or an adoring crowd, it's all glow and go with Leo.

Virgo - Social. "I hope you understand how difficult it is for me to let you see my faults if we live together--and by the way, I'll do the same to you too." One of the signs which indicates a life apart from others, partially because of the stress involved in maintaining Personal Boundaries & Private Space (and everything and everyone in neat little organized structures).

Libra - Social. The Quintessential Soul Mate-Match who rightfully needs a complimentary Partner. This is the Completion Factor at its highest level, and Closeness is an absolute cornerstone. Downfalls are co-dependency and fears of being alone.

Scorpio - Social. "It takes two people to make a baby, and society is built on births." Scorpio needs the physical release of sex and the emotional intensities too. This is more Distance than Closeness because the Scorpion wants privacy and security, and a partner could compromise it. For this reason, I think Scorpios are the best-suited-for-each-other match of the same signs.

Sagittarius - Interpersonal/Global. "There's so many Opportunities, including other people, so why limit myself?" Sagittarius does like commitment, but they like the Distance between themselves and partners more often. Sagittarius can find people from other cultures to be better matches.

Capricorn - Interpersonal/Global. "You're part of the Big Plan, and that includes our relationship." Money and love bring Distance or Closeness--if it's sensible, profitable, and keeps the Plan in action, then it's better. Trophy-hunters are found here, and their objects of desire too, and Sugar Daddies and Vamps.

Aquarius - Interpersonal/Global. "We're all One Big Family." Aquarius has a natural awareness of All Man & Woman Brothers and Sisters. Distance is never an issue when they're with someone who is a friend in a close-enough way that doesn't get serious. That goes for bonding and commitment choices too--just expect the aloofness and need for being with groups.

Pisces - Interpersonal/Global. "I'm Joined in Partnership with the Universe." Kind of hard for the Fish to let go; they're so tuned in on Higher Wavelengths of Love. Pisces can be extremely loyal and Close (especially if Venus in Pisces is indicated); they can also be out to sea and deep in the depths of detachment. Remember: 2 fish, going in opposite directions.

Magi Astrology, Chiron, & Synastry

The Magi astrology system of Love, Romance, Success, Prosperity, Longevity in relationships and marriage, and Happiness Together: Synastry techniques

 Chiron represents the kind of person we want in a committed relationship, and also our outcome for family, children, and happiness in a partnership or marriage setting. 

The system uses very narrow arcs of aspect from the major planets to/from Chiron, the Master Comet: 3 degrees for squares & oppositions (challenges), and conjunctions and trines (opportunities), and also the inconjunct/quincunx. Remember that the squares and oppositions are flat-out “No!” indicators because they’re stressful. However, the quincunx, even though it’s an irritation, is also an enticement! One exception: if it’s formed from Saturn—then it’s a more severe “No!” (In fact, Saturn challenges are the worst, although the opportunities are neutral.)

Challenges from the Sun are about Trust; Challenges from the Moon involve emotional attachments and past-life memories; Mercury challenges are about communications and exchanges of ideas and views; Venus challenges are "The Impossible Dream" that we can't let go; Mars conflicts involve tempers and anger management.

Jupiter challenges are actually reasonable in Magi astrology--it's not bad, but it's not necessarily a boost. Saturn challenges are dead-ends: effort is futile and a potential ultimate disaster if pursued. Uranus conflicts are explosive: the family and friends circles know there's a problem, and they often are outspoken about the toll it takes on you. Neptune conflicts seem wonderful at first, and then fade away into dissatisfaction and departure. Pluto challenges start strong with a powerful attraction, then deteriorate at a rapid pace. Control and power are issues here.

In contrast, the trines and conjunctions (and the odd inconjuncts, excepting Saturn) from the major planets to Chiron are joyful, harmonious, and promising: love, marriage, family, success, acclaim, adventure, bonding, and more.

The harmonious timing of Chiron to/from the key planets of Venus, Jupiter, and Neptune is a Romance Opportunity that should be anticipated. I personally can attest to the power of a recent Venus transit to Chiron that bowled me over a few weeks later. Note the timing: it's sometimes not the EXACT number of days. I allow 2 for Venus, 14 for Jupiter, and up to months for Neptune. That's very generous for the latter, but I know Neptune can influence us in subtle ways that last far beyond normal effects.

Astrology & Tarot as Archetypes & Role Models

The use of archetypes in astrology also has a similar representation with the Tarot deck. Even ordinary playing cards have their birth information value. The astrology wheel and the Tarot deck combine to make a powerful statement about learning more about the Life Blueprint concept of Psychological Astrology for the Psyche.

I personally don't use the deck in my work, but rather prefer to keep it for personal use. It fits my 3rd house Saturn in Scorpio to NOT tell all the things I know to my audience.

Empty Houses & Follow-up Rulership placements

Mitch, help! I received my chart from you and there are empty houses! What does this mean? The Lights are on but No One's Home!
(Sigh.) It means you first learn the meanings of the houses--it's easy enough, and there are a number of ways I've shown how here at  link #1 &  "houses link2". Yes, this is part of how you gain use of the "short phrases". Try "Cities and Famous Places of the World as Houses" in link #1. Look for the bottom portion of Link #2 to explain the categories of each house. The top portion of Link #2 is from the famous Stephen Arroyo's work--an acclaimed psychologist's view of the houses.

Then ask yourself--what's the condition of the empty house? Who's the doorman on the cusp? What uniform is he wearing? What characterizations of the sign do you know? Find the ruler of that sign and see where it falls on its respective cusp, and also, what planet is engaged? In what sign? In what kind of aspect or energy flow? In other words, "Where was the activity of that empty house displayed?" What role of response is represented as a resulting follow-up? Who got the job, and what IS the job?

I have Capricorn on the 5th; no planets. Saturn, the ruler of Capricorn, is in my 3rd in Scorpio. It makes up part of the Yod to my midheaven (career): how I express myself in communications through my work as a Life Mentor and astrologer. The 3rd house involves Communications, Short Trips, and Basic Learning. The 5th house is Children, Fun & Enjoyment, Love, and Creativity--I have no children, but my creative works, including my books, are my "kids" in their own way. I fulfill the (Gemini-like) 3rd house Communications and Information Dispersal  & the Discipline Demanded thru the presence of the Master Teacher (Saturn) with my effort to express myself as an astrological teacher and my college professorship as an English instructor. 

I also do it by writing and blogging, including the 3 books I've authored. My B.A. in psychology fulfills the mystical deep intuitive studies demanded by Scorpio: "what secrets hide in the minds of men and women?" By using my abilities to write, speak, and act with deliberation, effort, knowledge of the psyche, and creativity, I learn to give life to my "progeny" through my work and play--and fulfill my lessons to express myself in verbal and written form. Public speaking, anyone? Learning THAT was a big lesson for me--even how to speak more slowly. And that isn't easy for a Noo Yawker from Lawn Guyland.

So it's just like that: where's the ruler of the empty house sign? Look to the answer for the clues to reveal about how it's being resolved. 

Here's a long sample of rulerships: 

Ruler of the 1st House in the Houses:

The ruler of the first house is also referred to as the "chart ruler". Example: If Aries is on the first house, Mars is the first house ruler. If Mars is in the 7th house, then the ruler of the first house is in the 7th house. 

It can point to dominant interests or motivations, things that we pour a lot of energy into, as well as areas of life where we are motivated to take personal action. Sometimes we use the energies associated with the house to protect ourselves from the insecurities we may feel about being "out there" and exposed to the world. The condition of the first house shows how we handle beginnings, new situations, and being "looked at" or acknowledged. 

How we feel when we walk into a place we've never been before--whether the feeling is one of self-consciousness, boldness, reticence, eagerness, and so forth--comes under the rule of the first house. For example, if the ruler of the 1st house is in the 4th house, we may build a strong connection to family or build a home base to make us feel protected and safe. We may not be especially comfortable in new situations or situations that single us out.

Keep in mind the meaning of the first house when interpreting its ruler's position and aspects. The first house reveals our defense mechanisms and first reactions to new stimuli, how we instinctively react to a new situation,  how we appear to others (the "first impression" we make on a personal level), our mannerisms and physical bearing, and our physical form.

Ruler of the 1st House in the 1st House

The manner in which you come across to others is very important to you. You are self-conscious and very body aware. Even if you don't have any planets in Aries, you have some distinct Aries traits--you are reactive, a leader, and sometimes impulsive. You are self-motivated and self-interested. You live life believing that your fate is in your own hands, and you are likely to be quite proactive.

Ruler of the 1st House in the 2nd House

You have a strong value system, and you value security and longevity more than most people. Some may call you stubborn and fixed, as you do have a way of establishing routines and getting set in your ways. You may be focused on establishing yourself materially, but this position can also suggest a strong desire to lay down roots. Comfort and security motivate much of what you do, and you value things that last. Even if you don't have planets in the sign of Taurus, you have some distinct Taurus traits.

Ruler of the 1st House in the 3rd House

Even if you don't have planets in Gemini, your chart ruler in the third house gives you some distinct Gemini traits, such as versatility, curiosity, and communication skills. You may be fidgety, somewhat restless, and most certainly curious about the world around you. You are likely to be quite active, moving about close to home. You adopt a lighthearted approach to life, may be a "jack of all trades", and are a "people watcher". You delight in putting two and two together, and feel a stronger need than most people to engage in idle chit-chat with friends.

Ruler of the 1st House in the 4th House

Some might call you a homebody. You are someone who is very motivated by a need for security and roots. You may "take after" a parent quite strongly--perhaps following in his or her footsteps or resembling this parent. Even if you don't have planets in Cancer, you display distinct traits of the sign. You may invest a lot of energy into building your "nest".

Ruler of the 1st House in the 5th House

Even if you don't have planets in Leo, you display distinct traits of the sign. You pour a lot of energy into hobbies, children, or creative endeavors. Having a good time is important to you! You need to express yourself creatively, thrive on attention, and you are likely very romantic and proud. There is some sort of eager excitement connected with being noticed and singled out. You enjoy attention and often look for it in order to feed your spirit.

Ruler of the 1st House in the 6th House

What you do as a vocation is more important to you than most. You may be a bit of a workaholic, as work occupies your thoughts. Others see you as a helpful and responsible person, and likely your reputation is well-deserved. You are very body-aware, and it is important that you have a healthy regimen of diet and/or physical activity. This builds your confidence. In many ways, you come across as unassuming and modest. You are always willing to offer helpful tips to others--and you have plenty of them!

Ruler of the 1st House in the 7th House

How you see yourself--and find yourself--is mirrored by a partner or close friend. You tend to define yourself in terms of how you relate with another person. Bouncing ideas off, or getting feedback from, another person feels almost like a necessity in order for you to take action or make decisions. Decisions are thus made indirectly, as a product of this feedback. You may find that you vacillate a lot as a result.

Ruler of the 1st House in the 8th House

You are a person who readily sees that there is more to any person or situation than meets the eye. You are somewhat reserved, not fond of "posing", and you have a distinct disdain for all that is superficial. You have a mysterious, private, or sensual aura around you. 

You are not one to show off, and you seem to be content to be left alone--at least that's what others seem to read. Psychology appeals to you, you are generally quite hard-working, and you may spend much of your time researching and "digging". Sometimes this indicates an inheritance that transforms the life, or handling other people's money.

Ruler of the 1st House in the 9th House

You are a generally outgoing person--an idealist and a dreamer. Usually ready for an adventure on the fly, you are a growth-oriented person and a born philosopher. Your opinions are strong, and you are generally ready and willing to let others know what you think! You may also be especially attracted to travel.

Ruler of the 1st House in the 10th House

You have a strong need for recognition that can be a driving force in your life. You are usually ready to take charge, and you are fond of structure. You readily take responsibility for yourself and for others. Some people with this position "hide" behind a position, such as a job, social standing, or reputation; or, they are especially fond of letting others know their position in life. Certainly, you come across as strong.

Ruler of the 1st House in the 11th House

You like to be on the same wavelength as others, and you tend to actively seek out similar, like-minded people to share times with. You are concerned about the welfare of others, and equality of people is an important concept in your life. People with this position are usually quite outgoing, sociable, and adventurous.

Ruler of the 1st House in the 12th House

While shy in youth, as you mature you tend to find ways of handling and masking your sensitivity. Your intuition is strong, and you naturally understand that there are hidden forces in life that influence the daily goings-on. You tend to always be seeking something higher--such as a greater meaning or understanding of life and your place or purpose in it. There is something mysterious and private to your aura. 

At times, you may feel a lot of anxiety. Although you are capable of being alone, sometimes loneliness consumes you and vague doubts and fears haunt you. You are a perceptive person, and managing your deep sensitivity is something that can be a lifelong task.

Ruler of the 2nd House in the Houses: Interpretations

Example: If Aries is on the second house, Mars is the second house ruler. If Mars is in the 7th house, then the ruler of the second house is in the 7th house. 

Ruler of the 2nd House in the 1st House
The anxiety about earning your own money already was generated in your youth, probably by your family upbringing. Your financial income is directly related to your own effort, to the expression of your talents and to the utilization of your physical body.

Ruler of the 2nd House in the 2nd House

You are able to earn money through your own industry. You will find security thanks to your patient work and perseverance. Your practical and realistic sense allows you to do very well in your professional activity. It is important for you to establish a healthy sense of values, because your remuneration is based on that.

Ruler of the 2nd House in the 3rd House

Your income may be derived from a job or career which involves verbal as well as written communication, studies, travel, and also by working with a brother or sister if you have any, or other close relative.

Ruler of the 2nd House in the 4th House

Your income is related to your home, the city where you reside, and also to real estate in general. You may work out of your home or in professions such as interior decorator, gardener, farmer or real estate ventures.

Ruler of the 2nd House in the 5th House

Your income is related to creative endeavors, publications, entertainment, sports or arts, investments that imply certain risk or speculation, education or children. You are likely to earn money through some pursuit that will offer satisfaction and pleasure.

Ruler of the 2nd House in the 6th House

 Ruler of the 7th House in the Houses: Interpretations

The seventh house represents what you are looking for in others in order to complement the qualities you most identify with, whether you do this consciously or unconsciously.

Ruler of the 7th House in the 1st House

You possess a strong level of charm. Your people skills are likely quite keen, in that you quickly pick up on cues in your environment. Relationships are vitally important to you, and you often, perhaps without even knowing it, tend to evaluate yourself based on how well you are getting along with others. 

You tend to be attracted to partners who are independent and outgoing, or who reflect the image that you project. You have an intense need to identify with your partner (or with the public), and you may often find yourself doing what it takes to please that partner (or the public).

Ruler of the 7th House in the 2nd House

You tend to gravitate to a life partner who shares similar basic values as you. You value certainty in partnership more than almost anything. Constancy is important to you as well. Your life partner may be a good provider or could be the money manager in your relationship. 

Significant one-to-one relationships in your life are important to you, and you tend to hang on to people as long as you can, as you value longevity, security, familiarity, and reliability in your partnerships. You can be quite possessive of your partners.

Because security is most important to you, you may tolerate unhappiness in a partnership just so that you don't have to be the one to leave. Partnerships make you feel secure. Physical touching and closeness is important to you in your significant relationships.

Ruler of the 7th House in the 3rd House

Communication is everything to you in a partnership. You enjoy discussions with significant others in your life, if only to bounce ideas back and forth. Movement in a relationship is important to you. You tend to like to spend a lot of time with a partner, perhaps running errands together, or simply chatting about your day. 

Although you enjoy talking to a partner, you also value his or her opinion, and most certainly value your partner's involvement. You may find that your thoughts take shape more readily when you are able to hold one-on-one conversations. For example, you may come to more interesting conclusions or get your best ideas if you are speaking or writing to another person rather than simply thinking about something on your own, or jotting down your ideas. 

Thus you seem to need another person to help you give shape to your own ideas. This does not mean you depend on others for advice; however, you do rely on the feedback of others to stimulate your own thought processes.

Ruler of the 7th House in the 4th House

You seek a partner who is nurturing, caring, and domestic. A feeling of security in your close personal relationships is extremely important to you. Fitting in to your sense of home and family, and your set of traditions, is important to you in a companion. You seek someone familiar and comfortable. Your life partner may be the one who provides a home base for you--a sense of comfort and security. 

This sometimes indicates a person who is slow to marry, if at all. This position can suggest that your relationships tend to mirror your own parents' relationship, either in an unconscious attempt to fill emotional needs that went unfulfilled in childhood, or to cling to your roots. You tend to feel threatened when others don't support your most basic of values.

Ruler of the 7th House in the 5th House

A spirit of fun, romance, and playfulness is important to you when it comes to your close relationships. You tend to depend upon a companion to stimulate your own creativity or to bring out your "inner child". 

You are unlikely to marry for any other reason but love, as there is an idealistic and romantic side to you. This sometimes indicates that you look for a creative and expressive partner, or that you partner with someone in a creative endeavor on a professional level. You tend to seek a companion who enjoys similar diversions and hobbies as you do. You are quite dependent on the encouragement of your partner, and you thrive on attention from a companion. You are threatened by a person who is detached or impersonal. 

A relationship that is playful, reassuring, and encouraging is most attractive to you. You feed on the emotional energy of a partnership, deriving confidence from your association. You may be "in love with love", and you tend to approach any new association with a fresh and idealistic attitude.

Ruler of the 7th House in the 6th House

You seek a partner who is supportive of you on a day-to-day basis and with regards to the work you do. However, you may end up with someone who is too involved to the point of being meddlesome. Sometimes this indicates meeting a partner through work, or working with a partner.  This may also indicate a companion who supports your work or even makes your work possible. 

There is a practical tone to your partnerships, and you might want to watch that they don't grow to be relationships involving duty or obligation more than relationships just for the sake of togetherness. You do value a partner's involvement and concern, but it must be on your own terms in order for you to feel fulfilled. This may be especially the case if the planet involved is the Sun, Mercury, Mars, or Saturn. Because this is tricky, you may end up feeling criticized or observed by your partner a little too much for your liking. 

There may be a strong theme of inequality, imbalance, or service in your close partnerships, especially with the Moon, Venus, or Neptune here. If you find yourself drawn to partners in need of help, you might consider that you are doing so in order to heal a part of yourself. This position can also indicate that the work you do involves service to others in one-to-one scenarios, such as counseling.

Ruler of the 7th House in the 7th House

While the ruler of the 7th in the 5th suggests being "in love with love", this position suggests being in love with the relationship itself. 

You depend a great deal on a partnership, but you must be careful not to be so focused on "the relationship" that you lose sight of the people in it! You tend to form close partnerships quite easily, perhaps feeling that life just wouldn't be "right" without a close companion. You may find yourself attracted to partners who are strong and who tend to lead the relationship, especially if the planet involved is the Sun, Mars, or Saturn. You are a master at the art of compromise. 

The most positive expression of this position is partnering with someone who increases your self-confidence. The main situation to avoid here is the development of co-dependent relationships. As well, although you may be attracted to people who take charge in the relationship, you might develop resentment towards your companion over time, and passive-aggressive behavior may be the result.

Ruler of the 7th House in the 8th House

You are drawn to relationships that challenge you to grow and transform. In the process, you may unconsciously create challenges in your partnerships. These can take the form of "testing" your partner, although it's unlikely to be a deliberate process. You are drawn to relationships with a "life or death" intensity. Superficial connections simply don't satisfy you--passion and intensity are what gets you going. When you couple, you do so completely. 

You encounter your "shadow" through your partnerships, and you might find that relationships bring out the darker emotions in you--jealousy, manipulation, fear of betrayal, and so forth. Ultimately, however, they can also bring out your hidden strengths. Power struggles may be part of the picture. It can be hard for you to move on and get over a relationship that ends, and there can be an obsessive quality to your close relationships. 

Your partnerships tend to alter your life and lifestyle significantly, as you tend to throw yourself into them with passion and intensity. This position sometimes indicates that you are drawn to close companions who offer you support--moral, financial, and otherwise. On the other hand, you may be in a position to counsel others with regard to their finances.

Ruler of the 7th House in the 9th House

Relationships must be vital and alive rather than static and routine in order for you to feel fulfilled. In some cases, the spouse comes from a culture that is very different from your own background. You might shy away from a legal commitment. Your partner brings out the philosopher or wanderer in you. Through your partnerships, you feel more adventurous, curious, and interested in exploring beyond your neighborhood and your circle. 

Although you may rely on others to inspire your own higher mind, you do not necessarily concur with his or her belief system. You enjoy discussing and creating your personal philosophies together with a partner. You require much more than just physical and emotional stimulation from a partner. When your higher mind is stimulated, the rest of you engages. This position also indicates a strong idealism when it comes to close partnerships. You are not one to "settle" for practical reasons or otherwise. You need to feel that the person you are with is right for you, and that is the single most important factor.
