The Seventh is well
known as the house of
the partner- the wife
in a man's chart, the
husband in that of the
woman. It is the main
house for judging
marriage and
male/female
relationship. As the
house opposite the
Ascendant, the Self,
the Seventh house, or
Descendant, represents
one's opposite or
complement, the other.
The Seventh is thereby
a house of love and
passion, and planets
here give a strong
sexual nature. It
represents more
long-term, committed
relationship rather
than romantic
infatuations, which
are better represented
by the Fifth house. It
indicates partnership
in general, even on an
impersonal level.
As reflecting our
relationship with "the
other", it shows
aspects of our social
nature and our
capacity to affect
others in general.
Thus it may sometimes
give political power
or power over others,
particularly if
malefics like Saturn
or Mars are located
here. Such malefics
also may render us
disturbed in our
sexual function.
Planets usually do not
do well here for
personal relationship,
except Jupiter or a
well placed Moon.
Mercury causes quick
or superficial
relationships. Venus
makes the nature
sensual. Mars causes
conflict but gives
power. Saturn causes
separation,
detachment, and
selfishness but also
gives power. The Sun
causes domination or control, Rahu and Ketu
give psychic or
psychological
sensitivities or
derangements in
relationship. |
