What Is a Soulmate?
“Say nothing, I understand your silence.” Perhaps no quote is better to describe how it feels to be with a soulmate better than this.
You know you’ve found your soulmate when you share a deep relationship and connection with them, even from the get-go. You should feel at ease and comfortable with your soulmate, and there is a sentiment that you feel in your heart that you truly belong together.
While all relationships require compromise and healthy communication to work, soulmate connections are said to be easy, typically free of conflict, and one that makes you feel as if you’ve known each other long before you’ve met.
Some may even say it’s written in the stars.
Who Is My Soulmate?
By looking at the asteroid Juno in your natal chart, you may find out what your soulmate or future spouse is like.
You may generate your birth chart through Astrodienst. Click on Horoscopes, and under it, select Extended Chart Selection. Enter your birth details (an accurate birth time is necessary to determine your 7th House). Scroll down to the additional objects and select Juno before clicking Continue.
In Roman mythology, Juno is Jupiter’s devoted wife; hence this is the asteroid of marriage and commitment.
Juno endures the storm and remains through all hardships. This is the sign that you do not necessarily want but definitely need.
The sign of your Juno, like all other placements, is not strictly the sun sign of your soulmate; instead, they may embody the traits these signs possess.
Your soulmate may have the sign of your Juno’s characteristics which they carry gracefully into your relationship.
What Is the 7th House in Astrology?
The 7th House represents the partnership dynamics one has throughout all stages of life. It is usually where astrologers look when trying to read someone’s luck in love and marriage harmony.
Why Is the 7th House Important?
Look at your 7th House Ruler to find out where you will meet your soulmate. The descendant is the sign opposite your ascendant and is the sign that you naturally attract.
Because your rising or ascendant sign is the one you intrinsically embody, the sign on the 7th House, its contrast in the chart wheel, shows the characteristics you have repressed.
It is essential to look at the 7th House when looking for your soulmate because this is the sign that helps bring out the unconsciousness in you. For instance, practical Virgo is the opposite of dreamy Pisces, while carefree Libra in the 1st House is likely to attract assertive Aries on the 7th.
Due to this, when we meet someone who embodies the traits we have left in our subconsciousness, we are intrigued by these people and their opposite traits. These people allow us to feel comfortable with our repressed qualities and help us recognize our shadow side.
Some astrologers also use the sign in your 7th House to know where you will meet your future spouse or soulmate.
How Do I Know Where My 7th House Ruler Is?
To know your Seventh Ruler, you should look for the sign in your Seventh House cusp and the corresponding planet that this sign rules.
You may find them accordingly in the chart below.
Sign | Traditional Ruler |
Aries | Mars |
Taurus | Venus |
Gemini | Mercury |
Cancer | Moon |
Leo | Sun |
Virgo | Mercury |
Libra | Venus |
Scorpio | Mars |
Sagittarius | Jupiter |
Capricorn | Saturn |
Aquarius | Saturn |
Pisces | Jupiter |
So if, for instance, your friend’s 7th House is in Aries, its traditional planetary ruler is Mars. When you look at their birth chart, their Mars is in the 11th House. Therefore their 7th House Ruler is located in the 11th House.

Other Considerations
To get an in-depth look at your dynamic with your partner, you may also generate your synastry chart, which creates an overlay of both your birth charts to see how your relationship manifests.
Looking at your synastry chart is another great way to determine whether or not you and your partner share some soulmate aspects.
Accurate birth time is required for optimal reading.
Again, it would help if you also looked at the planets that fall in one another’s 7th House. Personal planets that coincide within your partner’s 7th House and vice-versa show a strong bond, especially if it is the Moon or Venus.
While the 7th House is a primary placement to look at for compatibility, other love asteroids (e.g., Valentine, Amor) and other planets (Saturn for commitment, Mars for sexual compatibility, Moon for emotional understanding) may also be reviewed to understand what a relationship between two people is like.
Conclusion
Our natal charts map the skies and the movements of heavenly bodies the moment we become our individuals.
As everyone has a unique birth chart, so do we have different ideal partners. If you are interested in finding your perfect partner, the 7th House Ruler determines the circumstances in where and how we meet our soulmates and the underlying themes such an encounter assumes.
The asteroid Juno reminds us of the qualities that a soulmate possesses, not necessarily our preferred features in another person, but unique talents and dispositions that result in that relaxed, harmonious soulmate connection.
