Graha in Domain-7
Relationship psychology, generalized results
for marriage purposes, life is easier if there are NO grahas in house-7
auspicious timing of weddings should have no gochara graha crossing kalatra bhava
if multiple grahas occupy domain-7, results of each house lord or node must be combined & rebalanced with the other occupying grahas
For a complex, aggressive & profoundly disturbed relationship life, see Adolph Hitler = Surya, Shukra, Budha & Kuja in kalatra bhava receiving drishti of Shani & Guru.
Independent-minded & somewhat ego-driven spouse who is an asset in public life, but not so easy in private life. Enhances negotiation skills in marriage, but not empathy. Not auspicious, generally, for partnerships. Limited ability to compromise.
Better results if Surya is strong by rashi; a neechha graha in house-7 attracts a weak spouse and indecisive business partners, leading to repeat marriages & much frustration. See Lisa Marie Presley.
House-7 being 10th-from-10th is also a career indicator. A strong Ravi in yuvati bhava can make a decisive, rational business person who can accept a large measure of personal responsibility.
However the native should not take on partners. Sole proprietorship is best. If working in a bigger organization, some power to make independent decisions such as in management roles, is essential.
A caring & nurturing spouse who may fill a parental as well as marital role. Moon is volatile, so best results from Karkata Moon and Vrishabha Moon. Other rashis of Moon are strongly influenced by their lords. See Queen Elizabeth II for a solid marriage partner with swakshetra Chandra/7. For politically necessary marriage where partner takes a parental support role, see Indira Gandhi.
Emotional outbursts and childhood trauma of the spouse for Vrishabha lagna, where Vrischika Soma tends to attack Himself in Kuja's rashi. Good for trading in family materials, such as homes and furnishings; maternal & childcare items; and advocacy work with family interests.
Usually a tame spouse who is happy with an emotionally based role in the marriage, as nurturer and supporter. May be a stay-at-home spouse.
Warlike or highly competitive spouse. Tendency toward physical outbursts in the marriage, initiated by spouse. Spouse may be athlete, hunter, or aggressive businessperson. Native is active, likes vigorous interpersonal exchanges.
Strong sexual relationship, high value on physical contact. With Budha, will like to argue. With Chandra, gains wealth through tackling tough business negotiations. With Surya, may be extremely independent and attract similar partners who need extensive personal space.
Kuja/7 is not a marriage killer, and is in fact excellent for business: Kuja will cast energizing drishti upon career-10, physical body-1, & wealth-2. Difficult spouse is indicated for Makara lagna (because Kuja will be emotionally unstable in Chandra's rashi). Also troublesome for Vrischika and Kanya lagnas, where Kuja becomes L-6/ L-8.
Forewarned is forearmed: this position requires regular physical exercise, & opportunities for aggressive challenge. Native is advised to undertake a career that involves plenty of confrontation. Better if the fighting instincts have a socially sanctioned outlet and do not overly express in the marriage.
Good for criminal law practice & any intentional interaction with violence such as police, military, & professional security. Good for a male business partner whether the native is male or female.
A youthful & chatty spouse. The native is often an attorney or negotiator, one who represents the interests of others. Aids sexual communication. Busy-busy, gifted in handling information. Both partners are mentally active and usually engaged in profitable business. Not good for Mesha or Vrischika lagnas, where Budha becomes L-6/L-8. For Mithuna lagna, the spouse becomes a twin: typically in the same business/profession as the native, with very similar mentality.
For Kanya lagna, immature relationship behavior: spouse may be childlike or dull-witted, and the native who also lacks mental sophistication (because detailed-oriented Budha is overwhelmed in cosmic-view Guru's rashi.) may belittle their spouse.
However normally Budha in house-7 is good for partnership communication, and beneficial for trading in information, documents, concepts & ideas, plans, adolescent items, and all types of advising.
A permissive & generous spouse. Not good for Karkata or Vrishabha lagnas (because Guru becomes L-6 or L-8, which are never beneficial in the marriage house.) Spouse is large-bodied, friendly & optimistic (so long as Guru's rashi is favorable!) and often a teacher. Spouse is religious-natured. Dogmatically religious perhaps in unfavorable rashis, but always compassionate intent.
Good for global businesses especially related to education or children, & for trading in books & religious items. Wealth increases after marriage because Guru casts drishti upon wealth houses 11, 1, and 3. Spouse brings dharma or good luck into the marriage. On the down side, the spouse's jovial self-entitlement can be so expansive that less attention is given to developing the private relationship of marriage; the native may feel neglected if their spouse is too concerned with humanistic activities or ritual.
Attractive & sweet natured spouse with advanced social skills. Native is usually attractive, too (barring unfavorable drishti to lagna).
When Shukra is strong in yuvati sthana, karako bhavo nashto or "too much of a good thing", applies. Emphasis on sensual pleasures in marriage & business partnerships tends to deprive the relationship of depth & stability, but this spouse is definitely an asset for business entertaining and public socializing. See Tony Blair, Richard Nixon. Love of human company, fine dining, parties, harmonious design, luxury travel & seeking out new pleasure experiences. Favorable for the sexual aspect of marriage, although this channel too tends to lack depth.
In business, good for trading in women's articles, wine, luxury goods. Also good for having a female business partner, whether the native is male or female. Native may be trapped in a pleasure cycle, unable to detect non-sensual values in relationship. Karaka for multiple marriages.
Hard-working, stable & pessimistic spouse. Marriage is oppressive, entailing heavy social & material responsibilities, but Shani also can bring community approval. The spouse is a burden & a disappointment. Yet the partners are typically faithful to each other, and to their vows. Each sees the other as hailing from a lower social class (each believes they have "married down"). The spouse is less educated & less capable. These partners share a powerful work ethic and with their solid material focus, they may build a respectable home. Shani gives longevity, so this partnership even if crushingly difficult will last a long time, and getting out of it will be difficult.
Accepting limitations - sometimes stringent limitations - is the key to happiness with this position. Good for spouses who work together, especially in humble service work or agriculture. Shani in house-7 is undeniably difficult: consider that from kalatra bhava, Shani casts oppressive drishti upon one's good fortune/father (9); body/self (1); and home/security/education (4). Realism & low expectations will help maintain good marital health.
Spouse is an outsider or foreigner in some sense, whether religious, ethnic, socioeconomic, or political.
The native & their spouse both have powerful desires. Unstable partnerships unless Shani casts an influence. They like to take risks, both with each other and outside the marriage. High sense of personal entitlement may lead to an exciting or luxurious lifestyle. Partners encourage each other to take greater risks and cross more boundaries.
Not a karaka for fidelity, but an open marriage may be acceptable to both spouses. Helps successful business trade in forbidden or taboo items such as human persons or body parts, sexual services or paraphernalia, drugs of any kind (including beneficial drugs), stolen or contraband goods, unapproved or experimental practices, legal advocacy for foreigners and outcastes. Karaka for multiple marriages.
No matter what other auspicious influences apply to kalatra bhava, Ketu in the marriage domain is problematic. The native wants connection, but does not believe it is possible. The native cannot stay in the relationship; but neither can they leave. There is much indecisive agonizing, soul-searching, & self-justifying. Passive-aggressive behaviors in relationship may be expected.
Karaka for multiple marriages. Native will have Rahu in lagna; the virtual lagna for spouse = Ketu rising. Therefore it is the native who decides when to leaves the marriage, rather than the spouse. Gives a long-suffering spouse who remains distrustful & suspicious of the native, but nevertheless feels bound to stay in the marriage.
Multiple, only partially satisfying partnerships throughout life, with or without divorce. If there is a legal divorce the Ketu/7 native will remain bound to the ex-spouse in subtle or obvious ways - ranging from shared child custody to joint investments to religious obligations.
If L-7 is strong or domain-7 receives auspicious drishti, the outer marriage may appear beneficial. However, an inner relationship psychology of distrust & uncertainty between the partners is always present. If external social conditions are good, Ketu/7 can create a complex, drawn-out, & sometimes miserable cohabitation.
Spouse is mentally & often physically disconnected from the relationship. Each partner stays in their own space.
There may be a meditative aspect to the relationship, but there is not much attempt to connect physically, emotionally, mentally, or spiritually - even if L-7 is strong. Both parties may be religiously or philosophically inclined, but there will be an underlying theme of disappointment & despair in the partnership.
When this tenuous marriage dissolves, in a spirit of deep resignation & surrender to fate, there need not be ill-will toward the partner after separation. Absent harsh drishti, there may be a peaceful neutrality in separation. In traditional cultures the marriage continues as a public facade only, with no interpersonal passion.
If other grahas also occupy kalatra bhava, the relationship is more engaged. It will dissolve eventually, but with more "disappointment drama".
Native remains ambivalent about the value of marriage & reliability of partnerships, slipping into many temporary connections only to lose them eventually.
Ketu confers resignation to loneliness. Conscious natives will conclude that the only truly reliable partner is the Divine itself.
The theory of interdependence allows us to develop a wider perspective. With wider mind, there is less attachment to destructive emotions like anger, therefore more forgiveness.
In today's world, every nation is heavily interdependent, interconnected. Under these circumstances, destroying your enemy--your neighbor--means destroying yourself in the long run. You need your neighbor. More prosperity in your neighbor, you'll get the benefit.
Now, we're not talking about the complete removal of feelings like anger, attachment, or pride. Just reduction. Interdependence is important because it is not a mere concept; it can actually help reduce the suffering caused by these destructive emotions.
We can say the theory of interdependence is an understanding of reality. We understand that our future depends on global well-being. Having this viewpoint reduces narrow-mindedness.
With narrow mind, one is more likely to develop attachment, hatred. I think this is the best thing about the theory of interdependence -- it is an explanation of the law of nature.
It affects profoundly, for example, the environment.
