Hi Ernst,
I am trying to understand the 7th house. Since it’s the descendant, it is not who we are. It represents that which we have less of, hence we find a market that best meets our needs and get into a barter system. Is that correct?
But having less is an illusion, so it’s a way to develop what we need within ourselves. Is that correct?
So, basically, what we want or really really want is actually who we are, just not conscious of it? Because we are not conscious of it and hence not projecting it, others are not conscious of it either?
It is the other half of what we are and really just as important as the asc. Jaimini g ives equal importance to this for many things. Its the opposite gender side of us. Ultimately, we need to discover this part of ourselves within ourselves, but until we do, we become dependant on a proxy, someone who steps into our life to fulfill the role of a missing person, in this case, the role of our missing opposite gender side. We are desperate to have this and so desperate for human love. This side is often very hurt and so we are attracted to relationships that hurt us. Once we integrate this opposite gender side to walk next to us within us, next to our gender side, everything changes, everything takes on a different meaning in our lives.
I've noticed in myself and others that our favorite color is often the rashi color of the 7th from lagna.
Sometimes the 4th and 5th.
Hi Ernst,
....., we become dependant on a proxy, someone who steps into our life to fulfill the role of a missing person, in this case, the role of our missing opposite gender side. We are desperate to have this and so desperate for human love. This side is often very hurt and so we are attracted to relationships that hurt us. Once we integrate this opposite gender side to walk next to us within us, next to our gender side, everything changes, everything takes on a different meaning in our lives.
How do we figure out in what way this side of us is hurt?
Its very simple, when you dwell on love, on a love that is not working, or a love you want, or a person whom you want to give love, or to whom you want to receive love, this thing that you are dreaming of is what is missing in yourself, what you essentially have to give to yourself. If its something you want from the other, you need to give it to yourself, if its something you want to give to the other, its what you need to give to yourself. All these desires and longings are simply the hurt part of ourselves that we need to start taking care of. No one else will until we begin to do it for ourselves, and until we do it for ourselves, those who we try to give it to, will not be able to accept it.
Does the 7th house has to do only with a person? Some people love things in excess - money, food, property, etc. This kind of love is also not healthy. Would that come under the 7th house as a relationship to those things, or the 2nd? Both are Venus ruled.
