Rahu in the Seventh House

Rahu in the seventh puts hunger and distortion on partnership, marriage, contracts and the public.

What's actually going on

Rahu amplifies hunger and aims it at whatever is unfamiliar 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 more, faster, and preferably from somewhere foreign. It is also the part you find hardest to leave alone.

What it gives you

• Obsession, unconventional advantage and sudden rise, aimed straight at partnership, marriage, contracts and the public
• Partnerships that carry you further than solo effort ever would

What it costs you

• Never-enough, shortcuts and a very convincing illusion
• 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 Rahu here, obsession is what you bring to it.

Love and marriage

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

What actually helps

Name the hunger out loud. Rahu ruins people who pretend they are not ambitious. Give it a legitimate arena and it turns into an engine.
