Seventh House [Kalatra Bhaava]:

This is the house of earthly union and ties. It represents legal

bondage and marriage in one's life.
Although the seventh is the principal house governing an
individual's marriage, the houses 2 and 11 also need to be judged.
Besides the life partner, this house also indicates the partner in
business or trade. The degree of success or failure in business or
partnerships is also shown by this house.
The seventh house also governs all those with whom the native
enters into an agreement or contract and also those with whom the
native is engaged in quarrels, litigations, scuffles and fights.
This house shows anyone who competes with the native in any
undertaking, minor or major.
In short, the seventh house governs all those with whom a native
transacts or deals with in any manner (one's lawyer, doctor,
contractor, architect etc). The person who lends money to the native
or one who borrows from him/her is also shown by the seventh
house.
This house denotes whether one will mix freely in society or be
reserved.
Fines, divorces, legal bondages, agreements, contracts etc. are
other matters which are ruled by the seventh house.
This house shows break of a journey. The third house shows short
journeys and the ninth long journeys. The seventh house indicates
visits to various places in one and the same trip.
One's influence in foreign countries and the honor and respect one
gets there depends on the planets signifying the seventh house.
The seventh house opposes the first house and hence is a maaraka
house and also it is the 12th to the 8th which governs longevity.
In horary astrology, the seventh house answers queries relating to
the recovery of lost or stolen property and describes the thief. The
lagna represents the owner of the stolen property, the fourth bhaava
the place of the stolen articles and 7th the thief.
The seventh also shows change in one's residence. This house along
with the third house needs to be judged for answering queries
concerning change of residence.
In mundane astrology, the seventh house shows international
relations, wars and arbitrations. This is the house of open warfare
and enemity as well as the house of treaties and alliances.
It also shows the third brother or sister to the native. It is also the
house of self-acquisition to the native's servants/subordinates or
employees.
This house shows the native's second conception or second child.
