planets: 1st house vs 7th house 🌗

our planets in the first house are where the energy of a planet is on display, it is part of our persona; our planets in the seventh house are behind the scenes, hiding from one’s consciousness, and are to be mirrored through someone else. 

astrologymarina has a blogpost about our descendants and what traits we reject so if you’d care to check that out then; (:

sun in 1st house ‘i’m unforgettable’: obsessed with one’s identity and has a lasting impact on those who they come in contact with. they exhibit their sun sign in its raw portrayal as they demonstrate the archetype’s qualities in an almost unforgiving performance. they express themselves boldly and feel they are truly chosen in some way and that it is their purpose to find this individual path that was bestowed upon them. like the sun, you emanate a certain ‘je nais ce quoi’, you like to give the impression of being as influential as the sun and people are drawn to this for better or worse. others may find you egotistical.
sun in 7th house ‘am i memorable?’: is constantly piecing together a mirror with the shards of glass they receive through others; their ego is placed in the hands of those around them as they journey through this life of self-discovery. they find their purpose is placed on a more unified spectrum, you feel that the world has something to offer rather than yourself. your identity feels insecure so you go to drastic lengths to be noticed. you may deny having any selfish habits, having an ego, or being dramatic. you attract people who are leaders of some sorts, or are especially confident. 
moon in 1st house ‘i am what i feel’: almost quite literally wear their hearts on their sleeves. people are drawn to your sympathetic facade. how people perceive you has great effect on your emotions. plopping your feelings on the table instantly is of an instinct of an instinct. your emotions come first; in action, in consideration of others, and in contrast to logic. you’re keenly sensitive to your surroundings. others may find you fragile. 
moon in 7th house ‘how do i feel?’: difficulty being solitary. your emotions are only brought to surface through dealings with others (esp. relationships). your emotions may cater to & heavily depend on your partner; seeks the words for what they feel based on the reactions of the reciprocator. you find others to be hypersensitive yet you attract particularly emotional people. avoids confronting their own feelings so they may emit them at others and claim them to be said persons feelings instead of their own. extremely passive-aggressive in their emotional dealings. 
mercury in 1st house ‘listen to me’: these individuals have completely embodied the meaning of gumption. their minds are hamster wheels of thought and rationality is their tactic. your communication cocks heads in intrigue, your words could shake even the most unyielding of people. mercury here feels reliant on conveying. may be great conversationalists but default in being an active, sympathetic listener as you are concerned by your own thoughts & approach most things rigorously. others may find you pragmatic. 
mercury in 7th house ‘will you please talk to me?’: discussions! debates! yes! your words are looking for deliberation and your ideals are frequently indefinite because you’re almost too into other peoples perspectives that you forget about your own. you form concepts through the words of others & may feel inadequate when having nobody around to learn through. you attract intelligent people or people who are lively in their way of thought, ‘bubbly’. 
venus in 1st house ‘i must be loved’: ah yes, you are quite the charmer. this is someone who you would cast as the epitome of grace, they are simply enchanting. you may get so wrapped up in being a spectacle of desire that you will compromise yourself for the sake of being well liked because you feed off of being an object of affection. what you won’t compromise though is your taste, your identity’s foundation is based in what you consider to be ‘ideal’ & this leads to the reason as to why others may often find you to be superficial. 
venus in 7th house ‘why doesn’t anyone love me?’: always needing to be in a relationship of any kind comes to mind. you feel that you have so much love to give and life isn’t worth it if you have no one to provide it to. your relationships eventually crumble because of your lack of desire to establish what you want in relationships, all you know is that you want one! you attract ‘attractive’/peaceful/materialistic people. while venus in 1st will do anything to be liked, you are willing to do anything for the people you like. 
mars in 1st house ‘i’m going to set something ablaze’: vigorous bundles of spirit initiating everything everywhere they go. your innate reaction is simply to react, impulsively and without filter. has a bit of ‘hero syndrome’ (i.e. creates troublesome scenarios just to be the ones to resolve it; but for these natives, its more about simply stirring things up). will have an undeniably raw presence in rooms, they never go unnoticed. your fiery waves are apart of your appeal. others may find you inordinate. 
mars in 7th house ‘who threw me into this burning building?’: relationships gone sour are especially poignant in the lives of these individuals and tends to be how self-motivation is acquired. denies ever being the initiator of scuffles, the antagonist. you attract people who are assertive & driven. brings it upon oneself to have challenging relationships in order to avoid growing bored of them. others bring out your barbaric side. 
jupiter in 1st house ‘i am what i believe’: the lenses of your glasses are encompassing, your views are broad in the most composed of manners. this person is scholarly and is who you look for when in need of a study buddy or even just someone who will give you two cents worth pondering. your first impression gives off a sense of camaraderie & the knowledge of this person is enthralling, their beliefs are on display, and this is what pulls others into their web of theoretical quest. you are overfull in many ways and though you appear sophisticated, you lack the ability to draw and set the lines on your own behalf. others may find you condescending or self-righteous. 
jupiter in 7th house ‘what is it that i believe in?’: you are jovial in your exchanges with others. life with a partner(s) may be beneficial in aiding your success. you attract people who are ‘happy-go-lucky’/philosophical. you may not view yourself as an idealist or experienced but when dealing with others you are hopelessly hopeful and feel incredibly experienced. your morals and beliefs stagger and or/ are repressed until you listen to the input of others, you will then begin to form more definite judgement. 
saturn in 1st house ‘i disappoint myself’: feels immense responsibility for the world so one takes on the role of an authoritative figure. wears a stern expression that can be rather unwelcoming but their smiles will gleam through eventually & rupture this first impression of being inhospitable. the native’s inners are restricted & classified, fears humility. your days must display efficiency and objectivity. you attract people with your wise words, you are the paramount person for someone who is in need of a hand on their shoulder. others may find you stale. 
saturn in 7th house ‘why is everyone so disappointing?’: does not take relationships lightly. feels that relationships are demanding of responsibility & if not loved by others, feels inhibited. may deem others as restrained yet project your own restraints onto them. these natives will have troubles seeing themselves as competent when alone, as relationships are a way for you to feel convinced that you are stable. you attract serious people, whether they be mature, pensive, aloof, or simply austere. acquires a sense of maturity through others.   
uranus in 1st house ‘i am an outcast’: strips themselves of normalcy. persona deals heavily with progression & is demanding of independence. you attract people with your individuality, you demonstrate an inimitable character. you have an eye open to all possibilities, reminiscent of a child. opinions are self-centered and inflexible. you are erratic in relation to your actions. others may find you esoteric or complacent. 
uranus in 7th house ‘why am i cast out?’: perceives others to be abnormal. your relationships with people are often atypical & inconsistent. you’ll have a sense of detachment towards relationships, feeling as if you’ll never be cast in the appropriate light in the eyes of your lover. denies being unorthodox & having any sort of complex (esp. superiority complex). you attract people who march to the beat of their own drum, are eccentric, or just plain turbulent. 
neptune in 1st house ‘i am who you want me to be’: you are a walking illusion. people will imagine you as you should be and in their eyes, that is exactly who you are & your appeal to others lies heavily in this fact. this is a soul that sends and receives vibes at all times; instead of their heart on their sleeve, it feels more like their soul is etched into the threading of their clothing. though they are everyone else’s daydream, you feel that people don’t see you for who you truly are & this leads you to feel the lack of a divine spiritual connection. others may find you to be lost. 
neptune in 7th house ‘why aren’t i what you want?’: tsk tsk tsk. projecting your delusions onto others! you view others as you want to view them and deny viewing them as such. you look at people with rose-colored glasses and like mars in 1st, may have a bit of ‘hero syndrome’, except yours is truly done out of compassion (although it may be innocently & blind-fully so). you attract people with fertile imaginations/artistic ability/a feeling of absence. you get disoriented in relationships as you have the habit of contorting yourself for, what you think, is the sake of the relationship. 
pluto in 1st house ‘i don’t trust the world’: painfully aware of your distrust of others & the big changes in your life. observational and controlling of your surroundings as you feel you can only rely on your own intuition & abilities. highly investigative of others. people are drawn to your intensity and the inevitability to always leave them guessing. obsessive over one’s transformations. a powerful presence (and you acknowledge such), others may find you callous. 
pluto in 7th house ‘why doesn’t the world trust me?’: doesn’t acknowledge their individual change or their suspicions. denies being manipulative/controlling/obsessive. craves the most transcendent of intimacy but refuses to connect on such a level. people are dubious & intrusive towards you. you attract people who are extreme/cryptic. obsessive over relationships with others. you realize the power you possess through others & your relationships bring to surface what you need to change in your life.

Moon signs as I know them

Aries: Against common beliefs doesn’t have to run and move all the time, though it’s a possibility as well. Can’t stand boredom but may enjoy things like reading, writing or similiar things if not the type to run around. Very afraid of the future but manages anyway. Also very insecure about their skills and gets jealous when they see someone’s better at it but doesn’t stop working on it. Not always the greatest at building you up but instead especially good at cheering you up and distracting you. 

Taurus: Would literally do anything for their family (as a parent). Enjoys spontaneity a lot but sometimes needs a little push. May see their self-worth in how others treat them: if you treat them good they won’t have (as much) trouble thinking good about themselves and vice versa. Has a fine eye for what other people’s talents are and enjoys making others feel good. Likes observing; notices the small things and appreciates them. 

Gemini: Really just wants others to ask them how they are and mean it, even if they don’t want to answer. Have a lot of thoughts going through their head all the time and don’t know how to put them in words. If not so mature yet may have problems with talking, especially if it’s about their feelings because they feel like nobody understands what they really want to say even if others do, when already matured often very good at talking. Enjoy debating and talking a LOT. Also often high-key bookworms. 

Cancer: Can be one of the coldest signs if you push them too far. Probably better at everything artsy snd creative than you. Wants to be a good friend but doesn’t always enjoy listening to you complaining (who can blame them). Often very sensual, even if not as much as Taurus. May not have powers of recall like Scorpio or Taurus moon but will still remember the important things, even if you think they weren’t important or that they’re long forgotten. Usually loves animals and animals love them. 

Leo: Most likely loves (little) kids, even if they don’t want to have them. Very generous and affectionate if they like you but no matter if they do or don’t, as soon as they feel like you take their place in their family (which can also be their friends) or there’s a high possibility of someone they love liking you better or giving you more or even the same amount of love and attention they’re going to attack you and it definitely won’t be a nice experience, no matter if you actually had the intention or not. Probably loves it when friends and such play with their hair. 

Virgo: Often good at team work, even if it does not have to look like it. If you ask them if they could do you a favor, chances are they’re going to say yes without asking what kind of favor, even if you’re not friends. Can be pretty blunt at times. Is not only smart but also often looks smart. Does care about what others think of them but is also the type to just say ‘fuck ‘em’ and do their own thing. 

Libra: Loved by everyone. High-key romantic and in love with love but as soon as a relationship is starting to get serious becomes scared and wants to be free again. Their friend’s problems are important to them, no matter if they show it or help you with them or not. Gets along with almost everyone immediatly. May have trouble showing friends love in a way that seems completely sincere. 

Scorpio: Doesn’t seem deep and intense at all. Actually is. You have literally no idea what they’re feeling and if you do, consider yourself lucky. Hates being weak or weaker and may not be honest about their emotions. Wants to be successful and in control so they can’t stand others being better at something than them. Wants you to know that they love you and that you can trust them even if they don’t always show it. 

Sagittarius: Standards as high as the Empire State Building. Works very hard but is still pretty lazy. Fun as hell to be around and has a unique and endearing wit. Probably plays science quizs at home. Won’t judge you for your beliefs but still wants you to believe in what they believe in. Enjoys being outdoors as much as spending weeks in their room with netflix and a toilet. 

Capricorn: May not want to admit it but is super scared that nobody will ever love them. Good listener if they want to but not the best at making you feel good about yourself. Will want to help you but they’re always their first priority. If they make you their first priority, know you’re lucky my friend. Often has a good relationship with at least one parent or looks up to them. Doesn’t like crowds and parties a whole lot. 

Aquarius: Often very popular and everyone enjoys being around them. May have been bullied or made fun of when they were younger though. Most of the time they don’t like having someone around when they’re feeling sad or are having a break down. May not only be but also feel the need to be unique and a rebel. Because of this they often have very unique interests and hobbies and they may enjoy clothes that seem somewhat different. This doesn’t mean they have a bad taste, just a different one. Their taste in all kind of things is usually a bit off but still bomb. 

Pisces: Very sweet, even if they don’t like it. Very blunt, not often though. Complains a lot. Lovely to look at, especially when they’re in love and/or adore someone. Don’t give themselves enough credit for their skills and talents. Probably better at everything artsy and creative than you, just like Cancer moon. Music is their best friend, next to their imagination.

wow, this is completely and utterly me (libra moon)
