Effects of the Sun in the Seventh House (Yuvati Bhava or House of the Spouse)

·

Reading Time: 2 minutes

If the Sun is positioned in the 7th house, it may create ego clashes or issues between the native and his/her partner. Additionally, the person may end up marrying quite late in life or at least later than their usual marriageable age, because it will not be easy for them to find that one person they can settle down with.

Even if they do find the person they would likely get married to, the Sun also represents aggression, so fights in marriage would continue to happen regardless. This could cause the marriage to break and/or the native to be engaged in relations with other members of the opposite gender than their spouse, leading to illicit relations. The sexual desires of such a person are also likely to be high leading them to engage in extramarital affairs that will cause them to either lose their marriage or suffer humiliation in society as a result of their nature and behavior.

Some conditions to note here are:

  1. Sun in own sign (Leo) – many of the adverse conditions will not apply here; the person, though still lustful, will just have one wife or one marriage and not go to other partners easily.
  2. Sun in exaltation (Aries) – this is a beneficial placement for Sun because the native will continue to stick to their marriage and their, though abnormally high, sexual desires, will be fulfilled by their partner regardless. However, this may take a toll on the native’s health.
  3. Sun aspected by malefics – the person will likely have multiple marriages if either their first spouse dies or divorces them for whatever reason.
  4. Sun aspected by benefics – the person’s marital life may see some improvement or help but their immoral nature would remain regardless.

Overall, the person would likely be sexually immoral and will find it quite difficult to stick to one partner.Note that it is not 100% necessary that the person with Sun in their 7th house will end up making illicit relations here and there; if their 1st house and/or the lord of the 1st house is strongly placed, then they may still have the desire to have illicit sexual relations, but they will find the willpower and inner strength to stop it from happening.
