What is the 7th house in astrology?
The Seventh House is so interesting – it is the house of partnership with the other. We tend to think of it as the house of love and marriage, and we also look at it for close business relationships, as well as those like soulmate partnerships. Your friends are going to go into the eleventh house typically, but if you have a best friend that you've been best friends with for your whole life, that's going to be more of a seventh house relationship. Those are rare, though.
I also think the seventh house is something that we tend to outsource. We tend to seek that out in other people, and we don't really claim it for ourselves. So if I have a Scorpio in my seventh house, I might not claim Scorpio as myself. I might not feel like I'm a Scorpio at all, but maybe I'm really drawn to Scorpio people and tend to collect them or be fascinated by them. A lot of times, your partner's sign will be the sign that's in your seventh house.

What is the vesta asteroid in astrology and how is it used?
Vesta is associated with the Vestal Virgins. We can essentially think of the Vestal Virgins as librarians who were focused on maintaining and sharing knowledge and keeping the Vestal flame burning – which is that focus on sharing knowledge and information. And so I see this come up a lot in the charts of people who are meant to teach and lead
in a more traditional way through information sharing.
What are the biggest red flags in Virgo men?
I try to stay away from the gendered personality because we're so much more multifaceted than that – and social conditioning plays a big role in it. So, I don't really think it's Virgo men versus Virgo women.
The answer is red flags in general for any Virgo would be someone who is a little too calculated . You may wonder, why are you asking all those questions? Are you trying to gather more information so that you can control the situation and possibly manipulate me?
One thing with a Virgo is to pay attention to whether the person is a little too different among different groups of people. See if they are really good at doing the mercurial thing of putting on masks and shape shifting as needed.
The other thing I would say is that a Virgo may be a little too wound up and rigid or safe, so if you’re someone who wants adventure and spontaneity, there might be red flags in Virgos to look out for, like being too risk-averse. That's not necessarily a red flag. It just depends on where you're coming from and what you want out of a relationship.
And a lot of Virgos can have anxiety too, which might impact compatibility. A lot of Virgos may be anal, uptight, rigid – some Virgos can have that. But you can decide for yourself, is that a red flag for you?

What does it mean to have a Leo Sun and Scorpio Moon?
That means that you were born under the first quarter moon. When you have your sun and moon in signs of the same modality, which means they move in the same way, Scorpio and Leo are both fixed signs. Fixed signs are here to stabilize. They know what they want, they know what they like, and they don't usually budge as easily as the other signs. So, the Leo side of you that wants to create, move through life as a leader, and be seen might be at odds with the Scorpio moon side. That side wants to be more private, have its own space, and not share much about my life.
Since these two are both fixed and they're not budging, they can come into conflict with each other. So, b>you might feel like there's two sides of yourself, maybe your inner world and your outer world that are at odds and challenging each other. I think you have to give both what they need.
So, for Scorpio, what do you need to feel safe? All right, Leo, how do you want to lead? I can still be a leader and shine where I'm needed while leaving parts of myself at home so my Scorpio side can feel safe and not have to put up walls.

Libra Sun with Libra Rising: What does it mean?
Well, in a very technical plane, it means that you were born at sunrise because the sun is actually sitting at your rising there. It's called the rising because that's what's on the horizon. So, you were born at sunrise when you're sun and rising are the same sign.
It does mean that you are giving more of that energy throughout your life. And you're encouraged to develop more into that sign’s energy, and the archetype and the life path that sign would take. So, a Libra sun – your life is going to be all about how you connect with other people, your role in relationships, and how other people are a mirror to you.
And when it's your rising sign, it might be that relationships haven't necessarily been something that's 100% comfortable, or maybe you haven't had a lot of experience because our rising sign is something that we have to grow into. So, I always say it's as if the universe really wanted you to grow into this . It made your sun sign Libra as well, so that you had an extra support towards moving into the path of what it means to be a Libra: cultivate balance, live in harmonious relationships, make things more beautiful and harmonious, and simplistic and tasteful throughout your life in whatever way that you choose to do that.
