Natal Mars in the 7th House

Having natal Mars in the 7th house can be a rather difficult placement for marital affairs. As the house is traditionally ruled by Libra and Venus, the powerful red planet can bring disturbances if located here; nevertheless, there are a lot of other factors to be observed before reaching such conclusions. Mars might be considered a malefic planet, and indeed is of a rather aggressive nature. When he is ill-aspected, he will always cause tensions to whatever he touches. This could also seem the case when he is located in the house of marriage, but it is not always like that. The definite outcome is that the native’s spouse will be of a competitive and eruptive nature, no matter what kind of aspects Mars has with other planets.

This planet in the 7th house as a dynamic planet will have an important role in this relational field. Basically it means acting on or in relation to others, and of course the sign and the aspects will say how. Given its deep nature, it must be really well aspected so that it does not create tensions or divergences, otherwise the risk is indeed that this Martian energy acts in an impulsive way and here all that is relation, union, association, collaboration can at the same time be energized but also strewn with tensions. 

Generally this therefore gives the need to have this area fairly valued and changing. For a woman, as Mars is emotionally very significant, this generally gives a great need and an ability to please or seduce (depending on the aspect), and therefore it is also sometimes difficult to differentiate between a simple relationship and the “emotional attraction” side. Finally in terms of the couple, here again things will be revitalized (depending on the aspect) and it is very rare to have a monotonous life as a couple with this position.

The good aspects of Pluto will of course accentuate the ardor and the force of action whether with others or on others…

  • those of Neptune will make you more devoted and generous…
  • those of Uranus more enterprising and original…
  • those of Saturn will allow to act with more tenacity and seriousness…
  • those of Jupiter will push to act in a balanced and legal way…
  • those of Venus will of course have a favorable impact on the balance at the level of the couple…

  • those of the Moon will allow to act in a balanced way according to the sensitivity and therefore it is positive in any relationship….
  • those of the Sun will give a lot of dynamism and creativity, but also charisma with others.

The difficult aspects of Pluto will push to react in a radical way in the relations, from where tensions and sometimes aggressiveness…

  • those of Neptune can either push to excessive devotion, or to the fact of not always finding the right way to act with the others ….
  • those of Uranus will of course give greater risks of tensions, divergences, ruptures …
  • those of Saturn will reduce the ability to adapt …
  • those of Jupiter will make people excessive, sometimes excessively demonstrative (depending on the sign of course)…
  • those of Venus may lead to discussions or tensions due to a lack of balance and emotional understanding…
  • those of Mercury will above all lead to discussions and exchanges that are too dynamic, therefore with the risk of provocations, etc. ..
  • those of the Moon will make act too much according to the sensitivity, ofwhere poorly controlled reactions…
  • those of the Sun will make you very combative, sometimes too much, and with the risk of always wanting to gain the upper hand at the relational level.

As always, the aspects to Mars must be synthesized, taking into account the sign of Mars and that of the 7th house, which is the backdrop to how this domain is experienced.
