SEVENTH HOUSE
HEMISPHERE:
SOUTHERN:
Southern hemisphere dominants focus greatly on their public life. Collecting achievements and crafting a strong position within the collective is a source of great satisfaction. These people are often ambitious in expanding/furthering their careers and social status. The greater public and acquaintances can easily become ones only form of social life - therefore it is advisable to not sacrifice relationships with family and loved ones for accolades.
WESTERN:
Western dominant people gain satisfaction in life through their relationships with others. Community and personal relationships are of great value, and it is understood that ‘no man is an island’. These people have a deep understanding of the nuances of relationships and are great mediators. Connecting with others is where western dominant people learn the most about themselves. However, their need for connection warns of ending up in toxic/stifling relationships - and advises them to hone in any people-pleasing behaviours.

ABOUT THE HEMISPHERES
The hemispheres in astrology break the birth chart down into four sections. However, contrary to how we commonly see hemispheres, in astrology these are seen as ‘backwards’. This is because in a birth chart the hemispheres are viewed from the viewpoint of the ‘heavens’ (think North Pole). Therefore, North would equate to South and vice-versa; and West becomes East, East becomes West. The hemispheres speak on whether someone/a situation is of a more introverted/extroverted nature and whether the motivations are rooted in fulfilling an individual or others.
ABOUT THE QUADRANTS
A birth chart is split evenly into four, each section compromised of three houses, these sections are called quadrants. Quadrants in a birth chart represent the four stages of development during a lifetime. The first quadrant, (from ASC to IC) represents our youth; the second (IC to DC) represents our young adulthood or teenage years; the third (DC to MC) is our adulthood; and the fourth (MC back to ASC) represents our old age and maturity.
