Mars in the 7th House

Reflected awareness. Others may view you as an attractive object of desire. Often you "find that you are courted or praised, and as a result you can develop strong confidence and charisma. Sometimes, however, it turns out that people engage in fierce battles with you, but they are often quite aggressive and openly disagree with you. Look deep within yourself, and there you will find a certain amount of similar energy. Explore where it comes from. Do not allow it to hide from your consciousness. "The mirror" can also be useful. The task is to use partnerships to reveal your natural sharpness and "acuity," and then use it to cut through any obstacles standing in the way of fulfilling your natural desires. Equal relationships. Your partnerships require energetic support and clear goal orientation. You can enter into and maintain long-term agreements in working order, but you are still more interested in immediate confrontation, today's problems, rather than issues from the past or future. Equality for you is a struggle. Often you feel that your partner is trying to win you over, yet you undoubtedly use the same strategy. In any case, fighting for win/lose is not a partnership. Avoid both capitulation and victory; the imperative requirement for you is to eliminate gentleness and vengeance from partnerships. You are likely hypersensitive to your partner's desires, so focus on your own masculine qualities. Affirm your intention to enter into a relationship with a partner, not to conquer him. Penetrate his heart with sincere desire. Contracts, obligations. When you initiate relationships that you desire, you immediately seek to make an agreement. This contract is not the result of deep reflection or contemplation. You rush headlong into everything, driven by your desire. The only agreement you know how to make by all the rules is a universal agreement, a "forever" contract. However, in this case, "forever" is not measured by literal time. "Forever" means: as long as the desire lasts. The trap is to view your partner as an object rather than a person; as a screen onto which you project your desires. The task is to learn to make promises rather than agreements, since promises are most consistent with your combative attitude toward honor and dignity. Cooperation. This position of Mars is paradoxical. It is usually assumed that you are not ready to cooperate with others. In reality, the opposite is true. Your desire is so powerful, you are so eager to compromise that you dissipate energy, dulling, so to speak, the sharpness of your desires. As indicated above, you are drawn to very assertive, even aggressive partners. Remember, it is not your concern to satisfy the desires of others; you must use your natural sensitivity to their desires to connect with your own needs. The task is to overcome all obstacles to cooperation and achieve complete mutual understanding with your partner. Partners or partnerships: Your natural partner is a person who influences you with his masculinity; one who knows what he wants and moves toward his goal without hesitation. The partner should not be too refined, as refinement weakens the desired effect of direct and spontaneous contact, and the more physical your partner is in dealing with the world, the more you respect him. You want your partner to be powerful, but more importantly—passionate and ardent. Natural partnerships stimulate your contact with the energies of desire. The relationship does not necessarily have to be overly sexual, but it must have an animal quality. If there is no compulsion in the relationship, it is unreal. The image is that of a wild stallion racing at the speed of the wind.

A contradictory person with a strong character who constantly feels the need to prove themselves to everyone. They often find themselves in trouble and easily get involved in quarrels. The aspect contributes to an early and hasty marriage with a dominant partner. As the personality matures, the risk of divorce increases. They want everything to be as they see it. They feel comfortable only when everything is arranged according to their ideas. The opinions of others and the mood of their partner are of great importance to them. These are active friends and diligent companions. Such people prefer to work together with others—in a group or in public. They tend to impulsive and reckless actions. The planet’s affliction predisposes them to violent quarrels with a partner, which can lead to the dissolution of the relationship. Often, the cause of the quarrels is a dispute over shared finances. The aspect is found in aggressive salespeople and rudely expressive service personnel. Such a person needs to learn tact and diplomacy. There is a negative tendency to unite with others based on selfish interests and a desire for competition. This person is passionate in love and combative in relationships with a life partner. Their opponents are strong and assertive, and battles with them often end in serious harm—physical or financial. There may be a tendency toward multiple sexual contacts. Partners are hardworking but self-confident and dogmatic. Such people are not only aggressive and straightforward themselves but also meet with appropriate criticism and opposition from others. There may be significant losses in court cases and direct confrontation with competitors. The life of such a person is marked by numerous overt enemies. Often, such people grow weary of constant bickering, criticism, and shouting. This aspect harms any form of partnership; married life is full of discord and confrontation. Loved ones and colleagues constantly experience blows of fate. Signed contracts and agreements dissolve on their own. Hidden dissatisfaction quickly escalates into open hostility, and verbal arguments easily turn into fights. Enemies are energetic, tactless, and merciless. They repeatedly intervene decisively in the person’s affairs and personal life. Often, such people are forcibly, against their will, drawn into groups that do not suit them. The person themselves cannot tolerate the slightest objection and strives to break any resistance to their own initiatives. There may be involvement in traffic accidents and a threat of premature death. The aspect is often found in widows and widowers. There is a tendency toward suicide and self-harm.

Libido planets Mars and Venus exert only superficial, transient influences in partnership relationships and are rarely decisive factors. We will see this below when examining the mutual aspects between partners. Only when the libido planets of both partners form more or less exact major aspects to each other is it likely that sex is the primary binding force. But when the libido planets of one partner aspect certain planets of the other, sex is not so dominant. The latter occurs much more frequently. Libido planets play different roles in the charts of men and women. In a man’s chart, Mars symbolizes the man’s own libido and is therefore included in his "self" image. Libido planets in the 7th house accentuate sexuality almost as strongly as in the 1st house, though it is expressed less openly in the person’s appearance: more subtly, aesthetically, and in accordance with accepted fashion. Style and adherence to fashion are of great importance. Both Mars and Venus in the 7th house are receptive to the latest trends and easily adapt to them. Unlike the 1st house, the 7th house compels us to behave and dress in a way that earns the approval of others. We fear being seen as old-fashioned or unappreciated and unnoticed. As a rule, the 7th house urges us to act in a way that leaves no room for reproach—that is, correctly. Yet this does not prevent it from being the house of intrigue, representing a form of suppressed and hidden aggression. Our culture forbids the open expression of aggressive feelings, leaving only indirect, covert ways of release. A man with Mars in the 7th house strives to have many love conquests, which greatly enhances his self-esteem. Of course, the sign or aspects of Mars may introduce their own nuances. A blocked Mars manifests as hidden aggression: unable to find an acceptable outlet for sexual needs, we release the energy through aggression. However, much here depends on the sign of Mars. As for choosing a suitable partner, planets in the 7th house prompt us to seek stable relationships, but not for the motives of the 2nd house, rather to conform to social norms. Here too we find a tendency to improve one’s social standing through marriage. This is especially common if a planet of the opposite sex is located at the end of the 7th house. And the 7th house always wants the partner to make a good impression, to be well-dressed according to their gender and status, so that one can present themselves favorably in their company.

Working on yourself is always a battle. Mars in the 7th house is in symbolic captivity. Here the main internal enemy of a person will be his activity, strength and energy, shown in the wrong place and at the wrong time. Sometimes it seems to a person that there is a devil (or a big devil) sitting inside him who controls him, as if deliberately forcing him to ruin everything. This little devil has a complex origin, including fear of any action and sense of responsibility, reluctance to become an adult, etc.; the details will be shown by the aspects of Mars. Sometimes the internal enemy materializes into an external, energetic and threatening one, and then fear of it is possible, both purely psychological and completely motivated. In a less severe version, this is a strong opponent who needs to be surpassed by gathering all his strength, and then it is useful to adopt his techniques and find the source of his strength, which will subsequently be revealed in the person himself. When Mars is in opposition to the 1st house, a strong complex of physical, energetic and male inferiority is possible, which disappears on its own when this position of Mars is worked out. With harmonious Mars, this is a strong, reliable partner who, as a rule, comes across the same ones. In case of defeat, secret rivalry with partners is possible, sometimes an obvious and aggressive division of spoils and spheres of influence. Elaboration gives a person great diligence and respect from opponents, who will be afraid of him and prone to compromise.

Activity in partnership matters. Creating new connections on one's own initiative, eliminating old ones. Involvement in one's business partners' or spouse's affairs. Disagreements with them, quarrels, clarifying relationships. Going public, addressing the masses, public activity. The year is favorable for concluding contracts, agreements, signing contracts, if Mars is not afflicted. Also for any advisory activities (astrologer, psychologist, lawyer, etc.). Sometimes for mediating activities. May indicate the start of a court case, filing a lawsuit, presenting one's demands, expressing dissatisfaction with something. The effectiveness of initiative actions. However - the affairs of the radix's house where Mars is located are resolved at the will of other people, not the individual. Negative Mars aspects may indicate a break in marital relationships, contracts, agreements, as well as public distrust of the person, a fall in popularity, numerous conflicts. Possible kidney diseases.

Busy with partnership affairs or working with the public. Often a partner, friends or companions are active people. Preference for cooperation and companionship. General finances play a big role in business. You are attracted to active, lively people with a strong will and you seem to need dynamic relationships. You may be very militant, or you may be associated with such people. Ideally, you will enter into an alliance with a person who is energetic and ambitious, but not very domineering and aggressive.

Engagement in active public activity, expanding contacts with the masses and specific partners of various kinds. Public appearances, statements, press conferences, communiques, lectures, group classes. The person becomes more noticeable, persistently asserts their interests and opinions, and these interests and opinions find understanding among other people. Active partnership, cooperation with other individuals.
