Neptune in the seventh house
Neptune in the seventh house idealises the partner. Attraction runs toward the artistic, the wounded, the elusive and the unavailable, and a relationship is often chosen for its atmosphere rather than its terms. Devotion is real and can shade into rescue; disappointment, when it comes, is less a betrayal than the ordinary distance between a person and an image. Open enemies are seldom named as such, since the placement dislikes identifying an opponent. Contracts deserve careful reading. The lifelong assignment is to love someone in their actual proportions, and to say what is expected before assuming it was understood.

Which sign holds it
Under whole-sign houses the rising sign settles every other house at once. If you know your Ascendant, this is the sign your seventh house holds and the planet that rules it.
| Aries rising | Libra · ruled by Venus |
|---|---|
| Taurus rising | Scorpio · ruled by Mars |
| Gemini rising | Sagittarius · ruled by Jupiter |
| Cancer rising | Capricorn · ruled by Saturn |
| Leo rising | Aquarius · ruled by Saturn |
| Virgo rising | Pisces · ruled by Jupiter |
| Libra rising | Aries · ruled by Mars |
| Scorpio rising | Taurus · ruled by Venus |
| Sagittarius rising | Gemini · ruled by Mercury |
| Capricorn rising | Cancer · ruled by Moon |
| Aquarius rising | Leo · ruled by Sun |
| Pisces rising | Virgo · ruled by Mercury |
Quadrant systems such as Placidus cut the houses by the angles instead, so a planet near a cusp can land in a different house from the whole-sign answer. The chart page shows both.
Reading it in context
A keynote is a starting point, not a verdict. What Neptune actually does in your seventh house depends on its sign, its aspects, its dignity, and whether it is in sect. Two people with the same placement and different charts around it live it differently.
