Moon in the 7th House

How the Moon works in the 7th house

Marriage and relationships

You see marriage as the most important step in your life. At first, you're drawn to someone you can pour your heart out to. But the more you open up, the more vulnerable you become. You're easily hurt and take romantic disappointments and losses hard. Yet you dislike being alone and soon start looking for someone new after a breakup.

This placement in your birth chart intensifies your need for safety and emotional comfort. A lack of support and protection in your family, or a desire to escape overbearing parents, may push you into living with your first spouse.

The Moon in the 7th house often makes your parents' image a lasting influence on your romantic life. A man may therefore choose a wife who resembles his mother, while a young woman looks for her father's image in her husband.

Connections and partnerships

You usually choose business partners because you like them, rather than through clearheaded calculation. You're just as quick to part with people who upset or disappoint you.

Your emotional reactions can bewilder coworkers and business partners. You may be in high spirits, then turn gloomy and quiet a couple of minutes later.

You're advised against making decisions under the influence of emotion, a passing whim, or a sudden impulse.

What the 7th house governs

The 7th house in your birth chart describes your married life in detail. It also governs partnerships in other areas of life, including work and friendship. The seventh house discusses your relationship with your spouse and the nature of your marriage, answering every possible question in this area: when you'll meet your partner, how long the marriage will last, and how successful it will be. The same applies to work and business partnerships: how reliable and lasting these relationships will be.

What the Moon represents

The Moon's zodiac sign in your birth chart governs your emotions, intuition, and subconscious. The Moon represents your feminine side, your receptivity, and your capacity for empathy: the ability to feel with other people and sense what they're going through.
