~first~ and ~second~, yours is a beautiful combination, with enormous potential for spiritual growth. You both appreciate life and life's mysteries deeply. You have a strong intellectual and spiritual bond and thrive on each other's intellect and wisdom. 

The relationship between the 7 and 7 may begin in the heart, but it quickly moves to the inner realms. The term "soul mates" applies to couples that share the 7 in this part of the chart. Poets at heart - even if you have never written a poem in your life - you intuitively recognize that your bond with each other is "spiritual" in nature and more valuable than anything else in your lives. You grow together, without the need to constantly be together. You probably communicate in half sentences and often find yourself thinking or expressing the same thing your partner just said.

If your relationship is moving toward maturity, you are likely to be "joined at the hip." That said, there are also things to watch for to avoid spoiling such a beautiful relationship. No other number can, at times, become as stubborn and unforgiving (even in small matters). In extreme cases, the 7 can become small-minded, even neurotic. While rare, a tendency to allow a minor issue to become a major disagreement does exist. What is interesting is, critical issues rarely cause the same reaction; the 7 is too intelligent to be petty. But the same person who can lead a study group with insight and the ability to communicate even the most arcane concepts, can turn into a hair splitter when it comes to seemingly minor household issues.

~first~ and ~second~, there is one issue you should be particularly aware of, as it has the potential to destroy this otherwise excellent combination. You both enjoy a highly imaginative inner life. Therefore, you need time alone for study, contemplation, or just to let your mind wander. When your living space is too small, or you lead hectic lives continually surrounded by others (even each other) your need for quiet personal space will begin to take precedence over everything else. It is common for people with a 7 in this part of the chart to leave a promising career, relationship, or family due to this inner need. 

It is important that you both find a way to honor this and create an environment where you can have time alone. If you become aware of underlying tension building, talk to your partner, and discuss solutions. Recognize your common need to share your life and ideas while maintaining your individuality and need for personal time.
