7th-from-any-house; 7th-from-Chandra

"Know from the seventh house about cohabitation, wife or husband, teeth or navel, diseases in and around it." -- Madhya Parashari, Ch. 9 , Shloka 7

"This house stands for love & marriage, husband or wife, public enemies, law suits, partnership in trade, travel, happiness, children from a second marriage, son-in-law, relatives, ways & means & merchandise" ~~ Das

Yuti: mixing, union junction, connection being endowed with gaining possession of Yuvah: youth, young adult, achieved puberty strong, healthy excellent, good Yuvati: young woman -- V. S. Apte, Practical Sanskrit-English Dictionary, p. 1316 Kalatram: a wife the female of an animal hip and loins any royal citadel the seventh house -- V. S. Apte, Practical Sanskrit-English Dictionary, p. 545

The profile of "Yuvati" or "the yoke", comes through:

• 7th house from rashi lagna

• 7th house from Chandra

• 7th-from-Shukra

• 7th from Saturn (Karaka of 7th house)

In addition it would be foolhardy to jump to conclusions about marriage, business partnership, or legal agreements without surveying:

1. lords of 7th and 7th-from-Moon in radix

2. 7th-from-7th, or Tanu bhava

3. D-1 planets in Tula (Libra)

4. radix L7 within navamsha

5. navamsha 7th house

6. 4th house within D-4

7. occasionally 7th from Surya, especially if Surya occupies Tula

L-7 in Lagna vs. Lagnesha in domain-7:

Seventh lord in lagna = Marriage partnership controls the personality.

• Social personality conforms to partnership requirements and the needs of the spouse. Native is socially identified with one's marriage and business partners.

• Nature of conformance judged by characteristics of L-7.

• E.g., if L-7 = Budha, native mainly talks about their marriage commitments (follow-through would depend on other graha in lagna). L-7 in a rashi of Shani = conservative traditional spouse and marriage practices. L-7 in a rashi of Guru = liberal & expansive character of the spouse, and native conforms to/expands with that character. L-7 = Shukra, tendency toward sensualism. In Kanya, troubled women partners define the identity. Etc.

Lagnesha in domain-7 = Personality controls the contractual relationships.

• One sees the partnership as an extension of the vital self.

• Native is a born negotiator, contract-maker, and crafter of agreements. Finding balance of mutual interest is the core component of one's personal self-image. Because the partner is an extension of the Self, what is good for the native must be good for the partner.

• One imposes one's own social profile onto marriage & partnership operations. May not conform to the conventional model of marriage practices, but will normalize one's own eccentric views by asserting that the spouse shares fully in the partnership process. Spouse is likely to go along with one's own stronger personality, esp. if the graha is favorable.

• Nature of personalized expression of agreement-crafting is to be judged by characteristics of L-1. Some examples:

  • If L-1 = Shukra, native expresses a feminized taste, full of sweetness & sensual indulgence. If in Mesha, celebration of friendly competition & sexuality as the ultimate in-body experience.

  • If L-1 = Guru, liberal and permissive. If in Kanya, prefers demure & youthful spouses.

  • If L-1 = Surya, what's mine is mine and what's yours is mine too. (Only possible for Simha lagna, usually unfavorable.)

  • If L-1 = Shani, the native is a traditionalist in marriage and the spouse will be chosen for their ability to reflect a conventional, law-abiding social profile.

By and large, if the marriage indicators are even moderately favorable, marriage & core partnerships are predisposed to help us in life - with a 75% positive / 25% negative ratio.

...the 11th sign from the 9th house is the 7th house which shows gains/increase of Dharma and the 12th sign from the 9th house in the 8th house which shows loss/decrease of Dharma.

Thus, marriage indicates an increase of Dharma while widowhood symbolizes a destruction of Dharma. ... in Hindu wedding the son-in-law is regarded as Vishnu, as his coming to the family has led to an increase in Dharma. --Sanjay Rath, Dharma and Marriage

Marriage, Cohabitation, Conjugal Life

The seventh rashi, or yuvati [young woman] bhava, is a very influential house in the Jyotisha nativity. Generally domain-7 is the second most powerful house in the chart, after the lagna or Chandra lagna.

Yuvati bhava displays the blueprint for marriage, the character of the first spouse, the condition of the internal genitals, and the quality of sexual communication in this life.

Yuvati bhava especially signifies the first marriage, but its blueprint continues to affect subsequent marriages.

Domain-7 = the energy and function of the internal genitals, and this energy influences all but the most rarified marriages. Sexual pleasuring tastes develop slightly but in essence they do not change much throughout the lifetime.What changes is our understanding of human sexuality and our skill in managing it.

Also the psychological profile of yuvati bhava will continue to apply in a sort of translucent way, to all subsequent spouses. This is the very basic dynamic of relating - how much time alone, time for sexual relaxation, basic body requirements - which don't change because the vibe generated by tanu bhava (native's physical body) remains pretty steady throughout life.

Yuvati profiles expression of all natural bodily urges, especially the sexual instincts. As the house of the object of desire, the possessed, and the projected-upon, yuvati profiles gross materiality of all kinds.

Not all adults have sexual partners; yet, all adults have a punya bhava. Everyone has one significant partnership, even if that partnership is with a deity or an idea. Yuvati rules the opposite polarity to the self - whatever that opposite pole is. The opposite pole can arrive in many different packages. To truly understand sexuality, it is necessarily to understand energy polarity. Yuvati or the marriage house governs all energy exchanges - energy coming in, energy going out - between spiritual beings and their psychic projections.

Legal Partnerships, Contracts, deals, Brokerage

First and most important signification of kalatra bhava is contractual unions of all kinds, especially the first marriage but also business partnerships -- which except for the sexual element, function identically to marriage.

All equal-to-equal, peer partnerships should be considered from the 7th house and its attributes. Professional consulting relationships, business partners, performing arts partners, and most partners in a therapeutic or advising relationship are seen through yuvati bhava.

Deals and deal-making, brokerage, trading, all forms of equal exchange on the balance scale, are in yuvati. Negative effects on the seventh house can result in legal bondage originating in unfavorable binding contracts. (Such as lease, child custody, etc.)

Legal and medical advising, at least in situations where the client or patient takes adult responsibility for making their own choices using information provided by the advisor rather than having the advisor dictate their decisions.

Exceptions are non-peer therapeutic or advising relationships which are more accurately understood as replacements for parenting, or are primarily vehicles for teaching. Often this occurs with medical advising in particular.

If bandhu bhava is dramatically stronger than yuvati or if L7 occupies bandhu, or Moon in yuvati, etc. then yuvati's egalitarian qualities diminish, and partnerships become more settings for mothering. Similar effects for dharma will bring partnerships more into a fathering or guru space. A super-powerful L9 in yuvati might see the native marrying their guru.

Law Courts

• Domain-7, the house of contracts and negotiations, includes the law courts and litigation which results in an agreement. (Problematic, chronically unresolved, or spurious, or mal-intended litigation is represented by Ripu Bhava, the house of conflict, domain-6). Attorneys and advocates must have a prominent 7th-house and radix-L-7 to be successful in legal practice.

• The ideal charts for success in legal reasoning feature Budha/7, in any nearly any rashi. Ideal rashi = Mithuna (for the communicative capability and writing skills), Kanya (for categorical thought and detailed argumentation), Dhanau (for optimism and philosophy of law), Thula (for balanced agreements and diplomacy), and Makara (for sober realism in the legal system).

• Positive dasha and transit planets indicate success in court.

Contract-making Domain-7 Vs. Philosophy-Making Domain-9

• In contrast to the practical legal skills necessary to prosper in domain-7, professorial skills in teaching the philosophy of law, philosophical understanding of the moral imperative underlying judgeship, conceptual (not pragmatic) levels of legal education, and other contemplative, social-philosophical aspects of understanding the law appear in dharma bhava, the 9th house of moral and political philosophy.

• One with strength in domain-9 understands the movement of social policy into social law, and one is also (ideally) empowered to effect justice through the priesthood of moral leadership.

Day-to-day workings of the court = punya bhava.

• Attorney [advocate] profession, legal and paralegal, legal secretary, making of contracts and agreements, partnership, mediation, arbitration, litigation, fair resolution of disputes, adversarial undertakings, are all part of the seventh house.

• In keeping with the adversarial potential of relationship management, punya bhava also rules Equal Adversaries in War.

Timing of Death

The second and seventh radix houses are "maraka" houses. Their planetary lords time the departure of spirit out of the container of the fleshly body.

• The periods of L2 and L7 from lagna or Moon can show timing of death for the native.

• Similarly, 2nd-from-7th can show death of first spouse (or end of first marriage/divorce) 2nd-from-4th or 7th-from-4th can time death of mother, etc.

• See timing of death in chart of Jackie Kennedy Onassis died of lymphoma for a good example of death in the bhukti of L-7 Mangala.

• However conditions of death - place, cause, environment etc. - are of the 8th house, thus condition of death for first spouse = dhana bhava, whilst conditions of death for spouse-2 = dharma sthana, etc.

Mangala/Rahu period is extremely dangerous if Rahu occupies yuvati bhava:

Mother's fixed property, maternal grandmother

4th-from any house shows the property owned by matters of that house, as well as mother-of matters in that house. As 4th-from-4th, yuvati bhava indicates landed or otherwise immovable property belonging to the mother, as well as mother's mother, or the maternal grandmother. See also 4th-from-Moon to confirm.

By extension, 4th-from-4th-from-4th or karma bhava shows the maternal grandmother's landed estate. See also 10th-from-Moon to confirm.

Career

As 10th-from-10th, yuvati bhava is one of the three primary angles which define the career and "favor from government".

To profile the native's career, consider :

1. condition of karma bhava itself,

2. role of L-10 in D-10 and D-9,

3. any graha in 10th-from-Moon.

4. Then, confirm conditions in 10th-from-10th, yuvati bhava.

This process should yield a fairly complete picture of career.

Second Child

3rd-from-5th, punya sthana -- generally counted from Chandra lagna -- represents the second child. Bhukti of L-7 from lagna or L7-from-Moon, or 7th-from-Guru, can bring a second child into your life if other circumstances are aligned.

Erosion of longevity

As 12th-from-8th, yuvati bhava contains the mandate for deterioration or dissolution of longevity. It is well known that nothing gives a person wrinkles faster than marriage. Naturally, the process of sharing one's vital energies with the spouse can lead to erosion, even hemorrhage, of one's own vital energies.

Malefics in yuvati bhava not only generate a psychic drain from relationship with the spouse; naturally, these malefics also exhaust the native.

Owing to their status as 12th-from-8th, the seventh house and its lord are called Maraka, or "death causing". Timing of death is seen from period of rashi L7 or L2. In my experience L2 is generally more potent in death charts overall, but L7 figures more prominently in surprise deaths.

Moving house

As 4th-from-4th, yuvati can signal acquisition of residence.

Check also 4th-from-Moon, and transits to bandhu bhava and yuvati bhava.

Shani drishti to kalatra bhava:

Ceteris paribus, Shani's negative aspect to the marriage house, which occur when Shani occupies houses 1, 5, & 10, does not break up marriages.

Shani drishti to 7 or 7th from Chandra can over-emphasize duty at the expense of pleasure. A Shani drishti to 7 may contribute to the marriage feeling loveless, or the mariage partner acting as a task-master, and native feeling full of grief for the loss of greater expectations. Nevetheless the Shani drishti to 7 does not cause divorce per se. Rather it gives stamina.

Shani occupying house-7 contributes survival information. A powerful influence of Shani upon any kendra (1, 4, 7, 10) may provide tremendous endurance. In marriage, despite a loveless marriage or marriage to a lower, unsuitable or oppressive spouse, the native will be inclined to accept karmic duty and carry on per the wishes of society. And society wishes, in marriage as in all other undertakings, for material stability and safety above all.

Shani respects rules & tradition.

L-8 and L-6 located in Yuvati bhava can make marriage miserable via chronic illness or argumentativeness of the spouse (6) or secrecy and hidden dealings (8). L-8 in java sthana will eventually trigger separation during bhukti of L-8 or L-2.

Unless Shani = L-8 (Mithuna lagna & Karkata lagna) Shani is not a separation-divorce causer. Just a misery causer...

The best relationship is one in which your love for each other exceeds your need for each other.

...The abbreviation for pound, "lb.," comes from the Latin "librum" or the scales, meaning balance...
