NIHILISTIC HOROSCOPES
House VII:House of the Descendant / House of Partnership
∞
"In the cosmic dance of companionship, we are all just atoms desperately seeking other atoms to share our fundamental emptiness with."
Overview
The Seventh House represents the futile human endeavor to escape solitude through partnership. It governs all significant one-on-one relationships, from the temporary illusion of romantic love to the calculated contracts of business partnerships. Here we find our desperate attempts to mirror ourselves in others, only to discover that all reflections are ultimately distorted.
Key Domains
- Marriage and committed relationships (shared delusions of permanence)
- Business partnerships (collective pursuits of material meaninglessness)
- Open enemies (those who openly acknowledge the antagonism inherent in all human relations)
- Contracts and agreements (futile attempts to bind chaos with words)
- Public relations (the masks we wear for others)
Romantic Partnerships
Where two souls pretend they can merge into one, only to discover they're both equally alone together.
Business Alliances
Temporary coalitions formed to accumulate wealth that will ultimately mean nothing.
Open Enemies
Those who reflect back to us the hostility we harbor toward existence itself.
"In partnerships we seek completion, only to find that incompleteness cannot complete incompleteness. Yet we persist in this cosmic joke, for what else is there to do?"
Planetary Influences
When planets transit the Seventh House, they illuminate different aspects of our relational delusions:
- Venus: Amplifies the beautiful lie of romantic love
- Saturn: Reveals the inherent limitations and boundaries in all relationships
- Mars: Energizes conflict and competition within partnerships
- Jupiter: Expands the scope of our relational disappointments
"The Seventh House teaches us that even in our most intimate connections, we remain fundamentally separate - islands of consciousness in an ocean of indifference."
