Venus in the 7th gives an attractive, affectionate spouse and strong desire for partnership; marriage is important, though excess indulgence should be avoided.
What the 7th house governs
The 7th house, Kalatra bhava, covers marriage, spouse, partnerships, business dealings and public life. It is a kendra (angular) house, one of the pillars of the chart.
What Venus brings
Shukra, Venus, is the teacher of the asuras and the planet of love, beauty and comfort. It is the main significator of marriage for men.
What changes the result
- Sign and dignity: Venus exalted or in its own sign gives the best version of this placement; debilitated or in an enemy sign, the weaker version.
- House lordship: which houses Venus rules for your Lagna decides whose matters it carries into the 7th house.
- Aspects and conjunctions: Jupiter's aspect protects; Saturn, Mars or Rahu add pressure.
- Dasha: the placement shows most strongly during Venus's own Mahadasha or Antardasha (20-year Mahadasha).
