Planets in the 7th house

I hope that everyone had a good new year. And let’s all remember not to make New Years resolutions, because no one follows them anyway.

In astrology, the 7th house represents relationships. It’s known as the Relationships House. If you have many planets here ( more than 2 ), then you highly value relationships ( all kinds ) and this house plays a significant role in your life. The 7th house also represents marriage or marriage like relationships, close friendships, intimacy, best friends, close work partnerships, and open enemies.

Sun in the 7th house: No, this is not exactly like having Sun in Libra, but you do value relationships. They play an important factor in your life. Your ego and core are tied to relationships. You may need to be more independent.  You are confident in your relationships. You may be gregarious and social, maybe even charismatic. In relationships and friendship, you’re the charismatic one, the leader. Or you’re attracted to people who are charismatic, leader-y, gregarious and social.

Moon in the 7th house: Even if your Moon is in Aquarius or Capricorn, having your Moon here produces a need for togetherness, partnership and relationships. You are a very good friend, a person with whom your friends can rely on and tell their innermost secrets to. You have an emotional need for relationships, marriage, and/or close friendships. Your friends are important to you. You want an emotional connection in friendship,marriage, and partnership. You do not like superficiality. Marriage is an important, emotional cornerstone in your life. You want to get married. In friendship and relationship, you are nurturing, emotional and sometimes too touchy or moody. Or you are attracted to people who are like that. Maybe your boyfriend/girlfriend is too moody, or you have a highly sensitive BEST friend.

Mercury in the 7th house: Would you be a good marriage counselor? Maybe. Either way, communication is key to your relationships. You are good at communicating your needs and wants with regards to friendship, love and marriage. You like to be clear where you stand. On another note, you can be analytical and perhaps sometimes intellectualize these things too much. Friends might say you don’t care about their feelings too much. At any rate, you might also be attracted to orderly, analytical and logical friends or people with whom you want to marry.

Venus in the 7th house: Venus is at “home” here. A lot of people like to assume that having this placement automatically means you will get married. Yes, you can get married with this placement, and I am sure you want to get married. However, it does not always mean so. In relationships, you may be flirty, sociable and you know exactly what to say. You are tactful and appreciate compromise. Or perhaps you are attracted to a partner who has good grace, tactful and appreciates compromise.

Mars in the 7th house: “Bossy Betsy!” Sorry, I couldn’t help myself. I know people with Mars placements here ( one has Mars in Sagittarius and the other has Mars in Virgo ). Although both do their bossy ways differently, they like to be in control of all their relationships. The one Mars in Virgo lady is called “The Boss” by her husband. The Mars in Sagittarius girl is very very blunt in her relationships, hurting her girlfriends feelings a lot. She also can be bossy towards close family members. At any rate, you might come off as bossy or too demanding in relationships. Or perhaps you are attracted to partners who are bossy and dominating.

Jupiter in the 7th house: Jupiter represents luck, so some people say you could be lucky in friendships and love. I’m not sure if I believe in “luck”, but I do believe in optimism. And sometimes optimism breeds what we perceive as “luck.” Here, you can be an optimistic and generous friend or lover. You like to have a good time, or you like to have a good discussion. You have fine tastes and sophistication. In relationships, you’re fun to be around, interesting and all around cool. Or you’re attracted to people with that reputation.

Saturn in the 7th house: People have an irrational fear when they see Saturn hanging around in their 7th house. Oh my god, people, it doesn’t mean you are never going to get married. Saturn is what you make out if it. Saturn is known for restriction, so this can add introversion to your character. You may find a hard time to get married, but you might later on in life. And some of you might prefer that, to be honest. Also, Saturn here adds DEDICATION. Even if you marry young here, you are dedicated and loyal to your partner. Sometimes Saturn here can be too loyal, but at least you are mature and independent. You might be attracted to someone who is mature ( and “old” soul ), hard working, and competent. You are not a romantic person and you don’t expect your partner to be either. If you’re a woman, this placement can be very challenging, because of society’s expectations for women to be overly flirty, emotional and affectionate. Those may not come easily to you.

Uranus in the 7th house: You may not even WANT to get married. Or at least at first. People with Uranus here either: 1. Never get married, because they don’t want to or they have trouble forming emotional connections. 2. Get married later in life, because they achieved what they wanted to, or they found out how to form an emotional connection. 3. Want relationships, but also have a need for freedom. These people can stay single for long periods of time. Anyway, you are a partner who is freedom-loving and unique. You may look for the same characteristics in someone you date. You don’t want to be smothered, or at least you’re outta here.

Neptune in the 7th house: Neptune has its highs and lows. You are a partner who is spiritually insightful, creative, artsy and high class, or you might be delusional, a door mat, and oversensitive. You might be a person who does not know what you want, or a person is falls for the ‘bad guys’. This can be particularly bad for women, who attract all the wrong kinds of men, because they want someone to save them. For men with this placement, they might find they don’t know what they want, hurting the women who love them by lies and deception. Or this can work in the good way, too. You might have a husband/wife/partner who is sensitive to your needs, creative, and insightful. You two might have a very special bond.

Pluto in the 7th house: No, this does not mean you are a violent person to the people who love you, nor does this mean you will marry a control freak who will beat you. I  mean, it CAN manifest in that way, but remember, there are many ways that astrology can manifest. Pluto is all about control and corruption at its worst, but at its best, it’s all about transformation and healing. You are a partner ( depending on whether you are evolved or not ) who has been through many transformations in your life and learned to go into the depths of the mind. You have a penetrating sensitivity and compassion. Or you might be unevolved, brooding with control and jealousy.
