Questions people secretly ask
Common Misconceptions
What most people get wrong about this placement.
This placement means you will have a million romantic affairs.
While romance is highly important to you, it usually means your marriage *is* incredibly romantic and passionate, feeling more like 'dating' even after years of commitment.
You don't take your business partners seriously.
You take them very seriously, but you believe that if a business isn't creative or fun, it isn't worth doing. Your 'play' is highly lucrative.
Typical Inner Dialogue
If you have this placement, you've probably caught yourself thinking:
"If this partnership isn't inspiring, I want out."
"I want a spouse who makes me feel brilliant."
"Business is just a game, and I know exactly how to play it."
"Our love story will be legendary."
Why does this happen?
The 7th House represents partnerships, marriage, contracts, business, and the public.
The 5th House represents the mind, creativity, speculation, romance, children, and past-life merit.
When the ruler of partnerships moves into the house of genius, life repeatedly brings you highly intelligent, romantic partners, asking you to find fulfillment by turning your relationships into creative masterpieces and your business into a brilliant game.
