dear group members a recap of the 7th house beautifully exposited

[Guest guest]

This is not my original work but copied from a source on the internet but it

is very valuable information with regards toe 7th house matter and has great

references to other meanings of the 7th house besides the native.

 

Seventh House:

In the seventh house of Vedic astrology Saptama ; Jamitra ; Chittottha

(desire) ; Kama ; Dvuna (love) ; Madha (passion) ; Gamana (cohabitation) ;

Astha (setting ; Advan (a way or road ) ; Loka (public) ; Kalathra (wife or

husband) ; Pathni; pathi; Kalathrasampat (dowry).

 

The seventh house is the " House of union or earthy ties " . The seventh house

represents legal bondage; it is through this that one ought to divine about

marriage. Although marriage is principally the concern of the seventh

houses, it is necessary to consider the houses 2 and 11 also in this

respect.

 

By marriage, it is meant that there is an addition to the family. The second

house includes father, mother, wife, children, etc.The married partner

brings permanent tie of friendship for progeny and pleasure which is

influenced by the 11th house. Therefore, one has to examine not only the

seventh house but also the houses 2nd 11. Houses 2, 7 and 11 connected with

benefic planets either by association or by aspect denote that the partner

in life will come of a respectable family, be virtuously disposed and will

possess good qualities to enable one to lead a happy and harmonious wedded

life.

 

Besides the life partner, the partner in trade or business and the degree of

success achieved through such partnership is also shown by this house. The

seventh house also refers to all those with whom the native is engaged in

quarrels and comes into conflict in the open through arguments, those with

whom the native is engaged in quarrels and comes into conflict in the open

through arguments, litigation, duels, etc., in a nut shell; the seventh

house may be said to indicate all those with whom the native transacts or

deals in any manner- the engineer or contractor who builds ; the doctor

attending on the native or the patient on whom the native attends if he

happens to be a medical practitioner ; the person who lends the native money

or he who borrows from the native; and so on. Good aspects to the planet in

the seventh house or to the cusp or to the cusp of the seventh house portray

good relationship with the public and favor from them. During the period of

the planer in evil aspect, one ought to be careful in undertaking any public

activity.

 

This house shows break of journey. The third house signifies short journeys

and the ninth hose denotes long journeys. The seventh house indicates visits

to various places in one and the same trip.One's influence in foreign

countries and the honour and reputation achieved there, depends on the

planet in the 7th house and the aspect it receives.

 

The first house of Vedic astrology denotes longevity while the 7th house

opposes and is a maraka house; i.e., danger to longevity. Houses 8, 3 and

1infiunce longevity and one has to examine these three houses to determine

whether one will be long-lived, or will live up to the middle age, or only

up to the adult age, or die in infancy. The twelfth house to any bhava is

said to be negation of that particular bhava, that is to say, it spoils the

matters signified by that bhava. Therefore the houses 7, 2 and 12 which are

respectively in 12 to houses 8, 3 and I prove inimical to longevity and are

so termed 'marakasthanas'.

 

In prasna or Horary Astrology, this house answers queries relating to the

recovery of lost property, describes the thief, pickpockets, etc. the lagna

represents the owner of stolen property. The fourth bhava denotes the place

of the stolen article. The 7th shows thief. The 8th bhava being 2 to the 7th

indicates the thief's wealth. So when the planet in 7 or the lord of 7 is

eclipsed or weak, the thief will be caught.The lagna represents one's

routine life and thereby permanent place of residence; the seventh house

which is the opposite to it shows change of residence. One ought to see the

seventh house as will as the third for the change of residence.

 

In Mundane or politics in Vedic Astrology, the seventh house is considered

in matters pertaining to international relationships and arbitrations; war

and foreign affairs, international trade, general condition of women and

laws relating to marriage and divorce, public reaction to national policies,

public meetings, etc. westerners call this the house of open warfare and

enmity as well as of treaties and alliances.

 

The seventh house is also regarded as dealing with the native's third

brother or sister. The third house from the lagna indicates the first

younger brother or sister; the house which is the third to the third sows

the second younger brother; the house which is the third to the 5th house

represents the third younger brother or sister. It is also the house of self

acquisition of the native's servant or employee, being the 2nd house counted

from the 6th representing servants. Because the 5th house shows the first

child or conception, the7th which is the 3rd to the 5th represents the first

child's younger brother or sister or the native's second child; the 9th

denotes the third child and so on in this manner. Being in 4 to the 4th

house indicating mother, the 7th house deals with mother's immovable

property, vehicle, etc .According to Uttara Kalamritam, the 7th house rules

the adopted child. This is understandable because one who is issueless may

take his younger brother's child in adoption. This is not uncommon.

 

The seventh house of Vedic

astrology<http://www.sudhanshu.com/vedic_astrology.htm> also

denotes the secret enemy's danger, difficulties, death etc., being in to the

12th house; the religion, long journeys, higher education of friends or

elder brother being the 9th reckoned from the 11th house; the honour and

credit of the Governments being in 10 to 10; associates and friends of

father being the 11th house to the 9th. The native might enter into

partnership with his father's friend.
