Today, we will delve into the intriguing world of astrology to explore the impact of the 7th house lord sitting in the 11th house. To fully understand the significance of this placement, let’s first discuss what these houses represent.
The 7th house symbolizes the marketplace, business partnerships, marriage, and relationships. It also represents other people, such as your spouse, and the happiness derived from such unions. On the other hand, the 11th house represents elder siblings, large organizations, higher goals, friendship, gains, and income.
Now, what happens when the planet governing the 7th house in your birth chart resides in the 11th house? It implies that the planet which controls your marriage and partnerships is positioned in the house associated with gains and income.
The presence of the 7th house lord in the 11th house signifies that your relationships are strongly driven by desires and the fulfillment of those desires. It is important to note that if a malefic planet such as the Sun, Mars, Saturn, Rahu, or Ketu rules the 7th house and sits in the 11th house, it is advisable to postpone marriage until your 30s. Even if you do marry earlier, the desires related to the 7th and 11th house will only be fulfilled after you reach the age of 30. Until then, your relationship may feel burdensome and responsibility heavy.
In general, this placement suggests that you seek a spouse who can help you financially. You desire a partner who can increase your gains, provide financial stability, and expand your network circle. Financial security becomes a crucial aspect of your desires in a relationship. In modern terms, it could be said that you are looking for a spouse working in a large organization.
However, it is essential to consider other planetary aspects, conjunctions, retrogradation, or combustion in the birth chart, as they can alter the interpretation of this placement. Additionally, the strength of the 11th house lord also needs to be examined since the 7th house lord is entering the 11th house. In astrology, a comprehensive analysis of the entire birth chart is essential for accurate readings.
Now, let’s explore how different planets behave when they are the 7th house lord sitting in the 11th house:
Contents
Sun
Suppose you have an Aquarius Ascendant, and the Sun rules your 7th house with Leo sign. In this case, if the Sun sits in the 11th house in Sagittarius, it indicates that your spouse is highly knowledgeable and may work as a professor or teacher at a prestigious institute. Your partner brings a wealth of knowledge into your life. The network circle you are associated with comprises learned and philosophical individuals. Your spouse may also have a strong religious inclination. Moreover, they may hold an authoritative position in the field of education, possibly working with government organizations.
Moon
In the case of a Capricorn Ascendant chart, if the Moon rules your 7th house with Cancer sign, and it sits in the 11th house in Scorpio (where it is debilitated), the scenario can be the opposite. If the Moon is close to its true degree of debilitation, your spouse may actually drain your earnings and gains. This placement suggests that you and your partner may tend to mentally dominate each other, leading to disputes that result in financial losses. However, other astrological aspects and planetary dashas can alter this scenario.
Mars
Mars can be the ruler of the 7th house in two ways, depending on the Ascendant sign. Let’s explore both possibilities:
Libra Ascendant
If you have a Libra Ascendant, Mars rules your 7th and 2nd houses, and it sits in the 11th house in Leo. This placement indicates that your spouse possesses a very masculine personality. They may work in the government sector, possibly in the army or security-related field. Mars in this position can also make them athletic. For male natives, their spouse may have a tomboyish personality and even work as a soldier. Your network circle will include many soldiers and athletes. Additionally, your earnings may come from government sources. Although there may be arguments related to mutual desires, the friendly placement of Mars suggests that you and your partner will be able to negotiate and resolve conflicts amicably.
Taurus Ascendant
In the case of a Taurus Ascendant, Mars rules your 7th and 12th houses, and it sits in the 11th house in Pisces. This is another favorable position for Mars as it is in a friendly and peaceful sign. The results may be similar to those of the previous placement, but here your spouse may be involved in yoga teaching or martial arts, which helps them generate income. Other outcomes will be similar to the earlier position.
Mercury
Similar to Mars, Mercury can also be the ruler of the 7th house through two Ascendant signs. Let’s explore both possibilities:
Sagittarius Ascendant
For individuals with a Sagittarius Ascendant, Mercury rules their 7th and 10th houses, and it sits in the 11th house in Libra. This placement suggests that your spouse is highly communicative and business-oriented. They will be meticulous about gains, income, and earning. They may earn through their own business ventures, as they possess excellent networking skills. Although they are talkative, they are adept at maintaining a balance in their communication, ensuring they don’t hurt others. They are also skilled at managing money.
Pisces Ascendant
If you have a Pisces Ascendant, Mercury rules your 4th and 7th houses, and it sits in the 11th house in Capricorn. In this position, Mercury is in a friendly sign, but since it is ruled by Saturn, the results may be experienced with some delay. Earnings may come from government or law-related sources. This placement may indicate a lawyer spouse, as Virgo represents conflicts, Mercury symbolizes communication, and Capricorn is associated with law and order. It can also imply working in the corporate world in legal teams. Gains from the spouse will be significant but require time and hard work due to the involvement of Saturn.
Venus
Venus, too, can be the ruler of the 7th house through two signs. Let’s explore both possibilities:
Scorpio Ascendant
For individuals with a Scorpio Ascendant, Venus rules their 7th and 12th houses, and it sits in the 11th house in Virgo, where it is debilitated. If Venus is close to its true degree of debilitation and not in vargottama, it suggests that you may experience a loss of earnings and gains due to conflicts with your spouse. This position indicates that your partner tends to scrutinize details, find faults, and be critical, which can strain the marriage and lead to financial losses. However, if other astrological aspects or dashas come into play, the scenario can change entirely. This placement can also indicate a spouse working in accounting, audit, or stock markets. E-commerce is highly likely with Venus in Virgo.
Aries Ascendant
If your Ascendant is Aries, Venus rules your 2nd and 7th houses, and it sits in the 11th house in Aquarius. This position is more favorable as Venus is in a friendly sign. The generic interpretation for this placement, commonly seen today, is that your spouse is working in a corporate job or a large organization, contributing to your financial gains. This suggests a harmonious relationship where both partners cooperate in achieving their mutual desires. When everything is well-positioned in the birth chart, there is not much more to say!
Jupiter
Jupiter, too, can rule the 7th house through two signs. Let’s explore both possibilities:
Gemini Ascendant
If you have a Gemini Ascendant, Jupiter rules your 7th and 10th houses, and it sits in the 11th house in Aries. This placement indicates that your spouse is knowledgeable, wise, determined, and action-oriented when it comes to wealth accumulation. They may work with large organizations as mentors, teachers, or guides. They can also be sports coaches. However, you should be cautious since both you and your partner may be strict about your beliefs and try to impose them on each other, which can lead to disputes. Therefore, it is crucial to be mindful and respectful of each other’s beliefs.
Virgo Ascendant
For individuals with a Virgo Ascendant, Jupiter rules their 4th and 7th houses, and it sits in the 11th house in Cancer, where it is exalted. This is the best position for Jupiter, the planet of beneficence. It signifies great gains from marriage. Your spouse will bring wealth into your life, and your relationship will have a spiritual dimension. After marriage, your income and network circles will expand significantly. When things are going well, there is not much more to elaborate on.
Saturn
Saturn, too, can rule the 7th house through two signs. Let’s explore both possibilities:
Capricorn Ascendant
If you have a Capricorn Ascendant, Saturn rules your 7th house, and it sits in the 11th house in Pisces. This placement suggests that gains from marriage will come slowly. Saturn, as the lord of the 7th house, tends to delay marriage, and consequently, the resulting gains and earnings. You will have to work hard for your income, and it may be a slow and gradual process. The money you earn will not come easily, and you may face challenges in expanding your network circle or benefiting from your elder siblings. However, as is often the case with Saturn, things improve with age, and from your 30s onward, your hard work will begin to yield results. Patience and perseverance are required during this period.
Aquarius Ascendant
For individuals with an Aquarius Ascendant, Saturn rules their 7th house, and it sits in the 11th house in Aquarius itself. This indicates that your gains and earnings from marriage will also come late in life. Saturn’s involvement as the lord of the 7th house naturally delays marriage and the related financial benefits. This placement signifies that you will need to work hard to earn money. Your income will gradually improve over time, but it will not come easily. Building a network circle or benefiting from elder siblings may be challenging. As is usually the case with Saturn, things improve after your 30s. Therefore, patience and diligent effort are required during this period.
Rahu
When Rahu is the 7th house lord and it sits in the 11th house in Gemini, its nature changes to that of Mercury, the lord of the sign it is placed in. Rahu’s inherent quality of insatiability remains intact. This placement suggests that you are highly communicative, bordering on obsession with talking. You have an extensive network circle, and your spouse may work in a communication-related field within a large organization. Your gains may come from foreign sources, and your partner may belong to a different culture. Although the gains will be considerable, Rahu’s influence means that you and your spouse will need to work hard to save money, as Rahu is known for both giving and spending. Effective communication is vital to maintain a harmonious relationship.
Ketu
Similarly, when Ketu is the 7th house lord and it sits in the 11th house in Pisces, it separates the individual from the concept of working in the corporate world. Ketu is associated with detachment and spirituality. Those with this placement are least concerned about wealth, which ironically leads to them accumulating wealth effortlessly. This placement suggests that you have no desire to amass wealth, yet you end up having plenty. Ketu in Pisces is in its most peaceful state. Although this placement does not disrupt marriage, it can create a sense of curiosity, making it difficult for you to comprehend your spouse clearly.
In conclusion, the placement of the 7th house lord in the 11th house has significant implications for your relationships and financial gains. Each planet brings its unique attributes and influences, which shape how your partnership and income flow. By studying the various combinations and aspects in your birth chart, astrologers can provide deeper insights into your life and guide you toward a more fulfilling journey.
