SEVENTH
HOUSE NEPTUNE
The
House of Partnerships - The field of relationships
Social
consciousness. Cooperation and its lack. Peace and war. Marriage and divorce. Duos and duels. Open adversaries. Business partners. Legal contracts. Court trials. Formalities.
The
person with Neptune in the seventh house often has such an exalted conception
of marriage that they are disillusioned by the reality of the situation they
encounter. They may marry out of pity or sentiment and then find themselves
exploited and deceived.
Neptune
on the sunset side of the horoscope can inspire the quest for "a soul
mate." Its rhapsodic romances and "platonic" unions based on
spiritual affinities are, however, notoriously ephemeral since, on the
material plane, Neptune seldom expresses the higher side of its nature unless
remarkably well aspected. What it offers is the opportunity to practice
self-abnegation through partnership and thereby grow in tolerance and
compassion.
The
subject may find it difficult to settle into a permanent relationship. There
will be high expectations of partners, and perhaps a tendency to live on cloud
nine. Difficulties can arise, however, when the time comes for emotional
commitment, as the individual may be unwilling to take such a step.
Conversely, those with this placing will sometimes rush into relationships
prematurely.
There
is a great love of pure romance, and all being well, the subject will create
an especially romantic or particularly imaginative atmosphere for the partner.
However, attention must also be paid to the practical areas of life and with
Neptune in the seventh the partner may have to take care of such
responsibilities such as bill-paying, and the general organization of the
practical side of the relationship.
The
subject’s partner should, in fact, encourage the equal sharing of such
tasks, otherwise there can be an upsetting lack of balance and harmony in the
relationship.
