Astrology can't give you a name or a wedding date, but your birth chart does describe the kind of partner you are drawn to and the kind of relationship that lasts for you. Four places say the most: your Descendant, the 7th house, Venus and Mars.
The four places to look
- The Descendant — the sign opposite your Rising sign. It describes the qualities you look for in a partner, often the ones you don't show much yourself.
- The 7th house — the house of committed relationships. Planets here colour what partnership feels like for you.
- Venus — what attracts you, how you love and what makes you feel loved.
- Mars — whom you desire and how you pursue them.

The 7th house: what partnership feels like
Planets in your 7th house add their own flavour: Venus brings ease and affection, Saturn brings commitment that is built slowly, Jupiter brings generous partners, Uranus brings unusual or sudden relationships. Read more in the 7th house guide.
Venus and Mars: attraction and desire
Your Descendant describes the partner you need; Venus and Mars describe whom you are drawn to. Find yours with the Venus sign calculator and the Mars sign calculator, or read your love language by Venus sign.
Timing: when love is more likely
Astrologers watch for Jupiter and Venus moving through your 7th or 5th house, and for eclipses on your Ascendant–Descendant axis. The love horoscope 2027 lists the best love dates of the year for every sign.

Questions
Can astrology tell me who I will marry?
No — not a name or a date. It describes the qualities you are drawn to and need in a partner, mainly through your Descendant, 7th house, Venus and Mars.
Which house shows my future spouse?
The 7th house, which starts at your Descendant — the sign opposite your Rising sign.
Do I need my birth time?
Yes, for the Descendant and the 7th house. Venus and Mars only need your birth date.
