The 7th house and discernment

Do you keep your front door open, allowing anyone to enter anytime?

In astrology, the first house is the self, like a person you see from the outside sitting on their sofa in their home.

Directly across the way, the seventh house is the open door, where others may appear, carrying gifts or shadows.

The 7th house represents spouses and business partners.

A door left wide open is vulnerable. A screen protects against the winds blowing through and against anyone wandering in.

To know the first house is to know yourself; to honor the seventh is to welcome others wisely.
