~first~ and ~second~, this combination indicates your relationship is most likely supported by other numbers and influences in your chart, rather than the 7 and 8 found in this area. The 7 and 8 are usually not attracted to each other or particularly compatible in romantic relationships. The notion that opposites attract does not often hold true here.

This does not mean you cannot have a fulfilling, well-suited relationship, but simply that other numbers in your chart are likely the source of your mutual attraction. Carrying the 7 and the 8 in this location of your chart, however, suggests you have major differences that could cause problems.

Your priorities differ. This aspect of the chart tells us ~first~ (the 8) has a strong drive for financial success and security. For ~second~, spiritual and intellectual growth is a higher priority. ~first~ intuitively understands the balance between the material and intangible, which is the reason they excel in business, marketing, or sales. (One must be somewhat detached from material gain to have the vision and clarity it takes to successfully pursue a goal.) ~second~ moves in the inner realms, and is not intrinsically drawn to business, even deeming it unworthy of attention; they would rather discuss political, philosophical, or spiritual matters, with a preference for the abstract - issues that could seem boring to ~first~ who prefers a practical, down-to-earth approach that focuses on results.

Similarly, you could find yourselves at opposite ends of the spectrum when it comes to likes and dislikes, from movies to books, travel to housing, decorating, art, and so forth. ~second~ might enjoy living in a rather isolated, cozy, country home, while ~first~ would be happy in a futuristic loft in a large metropolis. The friends you attract will also be quite different. The 7 in ~second~'s chart points to quiet conversations rather than loud parties. ~first~ occasionally enjoys an energetic environment and interaction with others.

The potential lack of compatibility between these numbers has nothing to do with the heart. It generally involves practical preferences such as where to live, how to decorate the house, and who you become friends with. This can be overcome by allowing each other considerable space and freedom in the way you live your lives. You will both need to recognize and accept your differences. Keep in mind there are influences in other areas of your chart that may mitigate some of these contrasts. If so, focus on the things you both enjoy, then allow one another the freedom to express your individuality.
