What It Means

The 7th house rules partnership and open rivals, and Mars rules action, passion and competition. Together they make relationships lively and intense. You're attracted to energetic, bold and sometimes combative people. A couple has plenty of passion but also arguments, since both of you defend your positions. In business partnerships you're active and demanding. You're comfortable in negotiations, competition and legal disputes. Sometimes you see your own assertiveness in your partner rather than in yourself. The challenge is conflict-prone relationships and rivalry where cooperation is needed. The mature form of this placement is a partnership of two strong people who back each other up.

Work and Money

Law, negotiation, sports, competitive business, partner and client work and consulting in tough situations suit you. You're strong when you need to fight for one side's interests.
