The Descendant (7th house) talks about partnership and the kind of people we get along more easily. It rules the other, be it a friend or enemy as this represents the qualities we often deny in ourselves and prefer to Project onto others.

Libra (7th house) rules amongst a lot of things public relations, refinement and beauty.

Conclusion, the ascendant is yourself, your physical body but the 7th house would be the optimal way to expose your persona. The ascendant is who you are and the descendant is how people perceives you and your potential. From the 1th to the 6th house its all about the self, when you arrive at the 7th house is time to get dressed and show yourself to the world, relate to people and all of those Libra stuff.

Keeping it short, the Ascendant is the actor and the descendant is the role.

Generous

The Taurus will readily lend a helping hand to the family, friends and the needy even if it means that they would have to endure hardship or loss.

Dependable

You can count on the Taurus, they will not leave you disappointed. Their dependability makes them excellent employees and friends.

Down to earth

These reliable and sensible souls are quite down to earth, polite and pleasant personalities. Success rarely goes to their heads.

Patient

Patience is a virtue and the Taurus posses it aplenty. They believe in doing the job right rather than being the first one to do the job.

Independent

Financially and emotionally, the Taurus prefer to be independent and strong so that they don’t have to look for support when life throws lemons at them.

Persistent

Once they set their eyes on something, the Taurus will persistently put in all the efforts to get it. Failures and setbacks rarely dampen their spirits.

Negative traits

Stubborn

Although easy going and respectful, the Taurus can be unbelievably stubborn and inflexible in their approach. So much so that when the logical arguments don’t suit them, they will just refuse to listen!

Self-indulgent

The Taurus are so goal-oriented that they often form a notion that the world revolves around them. Their self-indulgent streak makes them rude, and ignorant of others’ emotions.

Lazy

While they are patient, they are also lazy, especially when ordered to do something. The Taurus will not move a muscle till they are motivated to get up and work.

Materialistic

In their bid to secure their future and maintain a certain image in the society, the Taurus tend to become materialistic.

Possessive

Possessiveness, which often translates into jealousy and resentment, is one major negative trait in the Taurus-born. Many a times their possessiveness even costs them genuine relationships.

Frugal

While it is good to value money, the Taurus-born sometimes takes it too far and become frugal in the name of savings and building a better future.



I relate lolol

Hmm I’m not sure that this works for me, I don’t really get along better with taureans than other signs. Never really been drawn to them. Or does it just mean taurean qualities in a relationship? Big fan of loyalty I guess, but would have thought everyone is. 🤷‍♀️

Same. I don’t care for Taurus much but I guess they mean the qualities.

Scorpio descendant. My sun is less than a degree in orb from my descendant, so in chart drawings it often looks like my sun is sitting right on the 7th house line.




hows the effect?I have a 01 or 02 there

It's said that people with the sun in the 7th house have their basic identity (represented by the sun) tied to partnerships (7th house), which is the opposite of what the identity should be tied to, so the risk is being co-dependant in relationships. A lot of 7th house sun people I know, including myself, learn to be very careful about who they partner with because they can be badly affected if there is an issue in the relationship compared to people who have their sun in other houses. Of course, the rest of the chart matters, too. Aspects with other things in the chart can make that more or less challenging for the 7th house sun person.

No problem! I should have asked you more. I assumed you meant that your sun was that many degrees away from the house line.

The way I learned about it, and experience it, is that Scorpio on the descendant means one on one partnerships can have a Scorpio quality, but the partner doesn't necessarily have to have any Scorpio in their chart. The person with Scorpio on the descendant can attract and be drawn to people who, with them, form a relationship that is Scorpionic -- the traits that Scorpios have can at least in part be seen in the relationship dynamic. That can be good or bad, of course, depending on how healthy the people are. Partnerships aren't just romantic partnerships, they can be business and friendship partnerships too.

My 7th house is intercepted with Sagittarius and I see more Sag influences in my partnerships than Scorpio. Your 7th house is likely all Scorpio if it starts at 1 or 2 degrees.

haha, yes, I get a feeling that most astrologers don't know what they are talking about when describing 7th house sun people. What I wrote can fit, but I don't know many 7th house sun people who are co-dependant. A better way to put it, is that often a 7th house sun person really shines the most when they are in a partnership (if it's a good one -- they will be able to reach their full potential through their partnerships (friendships are included here). Dynamic duo.

I've just checked my descendant persona chart and could see clearly what the descendant is about, at least in my case.

These are my Descendant placements

Sun in Sagg - I've Always been liked by teachers but I didn't realized that I like to teach too.

Moon in Leo 7th house - I've Always judged my friends for being prideful, egostical but admired their fearless and royal atitude...not knowing that I owned these traits too.

And I could go on and on...

It feels like parts of you that everyone can see but you prefer to deny because of prejudices about it, maybe because your rivals/enemies own these traits so you prefer to deny them.

You only feel comfortable to share these traits when you are with a partner (7th house) who are familiar with these traits.
