Houses
The 12 Houses of astrology are symbolic of the all the departments that make up human life. The planets and zodiac signs will manifest themselves most strongly in the sphere of life represented by the House in which they fall on your chart. Houses are not "energies" like the elements or planets, nor do they color the expression of energies like the zodiac signs do. The houses are WHERE these energies are most likely to manifest. The houses are the fields of experience, not the experience themselves.
Chiron in 7th House
With Chiron in your 7th House it signifies a dynamic of knowing the self through significant relationships on the personal level, and strongly affecting other people on a mass scale. This position is the essence of charisma; these individuals have enormous potential to express the collective unconsciousness of their times, and they have an uncanny ability to mirror the self-image of other people.
Who we are will always be distorted in the perceptions of the self by others until we master polarity. The truth is, each end of the polarity is the same: I am you and you are me. This is the essential teaching that natives with Chiron in the seventh must master.
You may have problems in how you relate to others. It may manifest through one-to-one relationships, social interactions, and social justice. You may have had a major relationship experienced as wounding which colours all subsequent relationships. Longing for relationship but also a strong desire to be separate or find it hard to see yourself without the mirror of another.
Chiron is about healing and the reconciliation of that pain and struggle. Ultimately, it is about finding a workable balance between our physical and divine natures – between our animalistic and survival nature and our higher mind and awareness. Healing comes from reconciling the needs of yourself and others, and being willing to accept some of the darker sides of human emotion.
The best way to make Chiron function well when in the 7th house is understanding that you are a self-luminous person. Yes, relationships are important; but even failures concerning them are not the end of the world. Do not allow your fears make you lose a good person who tries to enter your life. Of course, there is always the risk of being hurt again, but fear is the biggest enemy and not failure
