Mars in the Seventh House

Mars in the seventh puts heat and urgency on partnership, marriage, contracts and the public.

What's actually going on

Mars applies force, appetite and a willingness to fight wherever it goes. Put it in the seventh house and that lands on the spouse, business partners, negotiation and how you deal with the world one to one.

So this becomes the part of life you keep going back to, looking for a fight worth having and something to win. It is also the part you find hardest to leave alone.

What it gives you

• Courage, execution speed and technical precision, aimed straight at partnership, marriage, contracts and the public
• Partnerships that carry you further than solo effort ever would

What it costs you

• Anger, impatience and burnt bridges
• Here that usually shows up as letting the other person set the terms by default

Work and money

Business built on relationships, partnerships and client work. With Mars here, courage is what you bring to it.

Love and marriage

This is the marriage house. Whatever sits here writes the terms.

What actually helps

Physical output, daily. Mars unspent turns into inflammation and argument. Give it a discipline before it picks one for you.

About the seventh house
