Suppression in Expression

The sign ruling the 7th House and the planets in it show parts of our self-expression that we suppress to co-exist with others. The 7th House represents one-on-one interactions. In order for these one-on-one interactions to run smoothly, the egos of two people must be shared in harmony. With that in mind, parts of your ego will be hidden for the sake of compromise. Whatever is hidden will be shown in your 7th House. The lord of the 7th House will show why or how you suppress yourself.

For those with an interception in the 1st and 7th House, there is often a struggle to suppress your self-expressions, meaning that it can be difficult for you to blend in with others and co-exist. If there is a struggle to handling the self, there will definitely be a struggle in handling the other.
