What it governs
The 7th rules formal partnerships — marriage, civil unions, long-term business pairings, also 'open enemies' (the ones who openly oppose you, as opposed to the 12th-house hidden ones). The mirror house: what you find in a partner is often what you project from your own chart.
If it's empty
Empty 7th doesn't mean unpartnered. The Descendant sign still describes what you're drawn to in partners.
Planets in this house
Venus in 7th: classic relationship-magnetism. Saturn in 7th: takes commitment seriously, often marries later. Uranus in 7th: unconventional partnerships, sometimes sudden breakups.
When transits hit this house
7th-house transits track engagements, marriages, business deals — and divorces and lawsuits.
