Their Sun in your 7th house

You each show up more fully together

In synastry, you place one person's planets into the other person's houses. When someone's Sun, who you are, falls in your 7th house, Bonds, that part of them shows up in the part of your life about relationships, partners, marriage.

What it's like

Across a long dinner you both seem more like yourselves, which is rather the point of a partnership. The wrinkle is who gets to lead, and it's worth saying aloud before it's argued about.

The good

They see you clearly and say so

The tension

Who leads can become a quiet tug of war

It depends who they are

The same placement plays out differently with a partner, an ex or your mum.

If they're your partner

You show up more fully together

Across a long dinner you both seem more like yourselves, which is rather the point. This person reflects you back clearly, flattering and unflattering alike.

If they're a crush

They feel like a someone

With this person, you start thinking in twos before there is any two. Their presence nudges you to picture a partnership, which is a lot for early days.

If they're an ex

They were the main event in Bonds

This person landed in your house of partnership, so being with them felt like the point. A lot of your sense of 'we' was built around them.

If they're a friend

They show up properly, one to one

When it's just the two of you, this person makes you feel like a first choice. They're loyal in a visible way, and quietly expect the same back.

If they're family

They treat you as their person

This person sees the bond as settled, a deal signed long ago. You are each other's first call, even on days you are not on speaking form.

The other way round: Your Sun in their 7th house

You light up their one-to-one life

This person tends to take you seriously as a partner, in whatever sense. Your Sun in their 7th makes you a mirror: they see what they want, and what they are missing, in how they relate to you.

About Sun

The Sun is your core self: the thing you're here to become and the energy you run on when you're most yourself. It's the sign you already know, but it's only the headline, not the whole story.
