About Mars

Mars is your drive: how you go after things, how you get angry and how you get moving on a Monday. It's courage, sex drive and the urge to win, all in one slightly sweaty package.

About the 7th house

The 7th house is about the people you pair up with: partners, spouses, best friends and business allies, plus the occasional worthy rival. It shows what you look for in another person and what they mirror back.

Mars in the 7th, sign by sign

The sign Mars was in changes the style. Find yours.

Aries →Partners who match your fight suit you best, and a good relationship involves honest arguments, quick make-ups and absolutely no sulking in corners. Taurus →In it for the long haul, you work hard to keep relationships stable, though your stubbornness can stall a disagreement for weeks. Gemini →You want a partner who argues back cleverly, and since your relationships run on talk, silence worries you more than a good row. Cancer →A partner gets protected like your own cub, but anger in relationships tends to come out as sulking rather than saying what's wrong. Leo →You fight loyally for a partner you're proud to stand beside, though wounded pride can turn a small row into a large one. Virgo →Commitment, for you, looks like helping a partner improve things, but criticism dressed as advice can start rows you didn't mean to begin. Libra →Your drive lives in partnership: you put real effort into relationships, but may attract partners who do the arguing for you. Scorpio →Total commitment is what you want from a partner, and relationships are where your power struggles and deepest loyalty both play out. Sagittarius →An adventure buddy makes the best partner, and your relationships work with plenty of space and honest, sometimes bracing, conversation. Capricorn →An ambitious, reliable partner suits you, and you treat relationships as a long-term commitment you're willing to work at. Aquarius →A partner who respects your independence is essential, and relationships thrive on friendship, freedom and a shared cause. Pisces →A soulmate-level bond is what you want, and it helps to notice when you're quietly giving a partner far too much.
