Venus in the 7th House

What Venus in the 7th house means

Venus describes how you love, what you find beautiful and what you value. The 7th house is the area of your chart that covers marriage, committed partners and every close one-to-one bond. Put the two together and love is not just part of your life; it is one of the main ways you find meaning.
