Are there any other Saturn seventh house people here who can relate???

posted July 18, 2006 07:06 PM            

My brother has Saturn in the 7th in Taurus. He married at 25, so before the Saturn Return. She left him when Saturn hit her 7th house cusp. It lasted 3 1/2 years and took one year to complete the divorce procedings.

The divorce came through when transiting Saturn hit his Descendant, and it was 6 degrees away from his the Saturn/Saturn conjunction, the dreaded Saturn Return.

When there are no planets in a house, the house is still activated by the planetary ruler of that house, it's placement in the chart and it's aspects within the chart.

So having no planets in the 7th house doesn't mean that you won't get married. You just may.

I have Saturn in the 8th (intimacy issues),
but close to the cusp,
so, it can be interpreted in both houses (urgh!).
But I have Jupiter in the 7th, so, yay!

Sorry to hear about the difficulties.
Its worth reflecting that Saturn brings deep wisdom,
albeit hard-won.
In later life, you will approach this area
with great seriousness, wisdom, and depth.
Your partner could be very stable, strong and responsible.
There is a bright side to every planet,
and, in fact, I would even suggest that,
the darker the dark side, the brighter the bright side.
Focus on attracting/selecting partners who embody
the more positive projections of Saturn,
but dont forget that the 7th house is still
in YOUR chart, and is you, when you own it.

If there are no planets in a house,
look for the planet that rules the sign
on the cusp of the house
(and, to a lesser extent, the planet that
rules any sign touching the house).
Consider the sign and house placement of that ruling planet,
and whatever aspects it makes.
That will tell you a lot.
This is well worth considering,
even when there are planets in the house.

happy hunting!,

I just wonder if having this placement will ALWAYS cause me to learn hard lessons from love, or have I now learned that lesson with my first partner?

My Saturn also happens to be in Cancer, do you think this would have any bearing on the fact my mother doesn't like my boyfriends? In the end she liked my first partner a lot, but it took a while for her to get past the fact I had moved in with him and she had a lot of false bad impressions about him. The pattern now repeats itself with my current partner. I feel like she holds me back a lot, is this a Saturn in Cancer thing??? Just wondering... I still even feel like my ex wants to hold me back, they don't like it when I change and grow or want to do anything exciting... I'm still friends with him but it's like as long as I still spend time around him I'll always feel held back by his influence. Could this be the Saturn effect of him as well as the Saturn effect of my mother? My sister has also been like this with me over the years, and she is a Cancerian, with you guessed it, a Capricorn moon... is this all just a coincidence or does Saturn really affect relationships with me in this way?

Don't despair - you'll be married for sure m'love!
In answer to the question about having no planets in the seventh house and not getting married.... I have none whatsoever there and I have been happily married for seven years. However my hubby does have sun, jupiter and neptune in his seventh which would explain his happy marriage side of things! He instigated it all too.

I have Capricorn on the cusp of my seventh house. This is interesting as it's ruled by Saturn and I got married during my Saturn Return....I was 28 and a half.

And my seventh house ruler Saturn is in Taurus in the 11th house...... and my marriage is certainly stable and secure...and we started out as friends....

Interesting topic GeminiLover......I do think we should all wait until our Saturn Return before getting wed....we change so much during that return......

HSC you'll be lucky in marriage I guess with jupiter in the seventh....and in leo I do believe you've said. Sunny leo will shine on your marriage... but you're going to need to be adored!.......just wait until your Saturn Return before you do it!!!

The ruler of the seventh house also shows facets of the native's personality that are strongly played out in relationships. Check the aspects this ruler makes. These are personality dynamics that are most apparent in partnerships.

People with planets in the seventh house are attracted to partnerships, in part, to fulfill the needs associated with that planet. In some cases, that facet of the personality (represented by the energies of the planet in the seventh house) feels underdeveloped in one's own life, and there is a drive to experience it more fully through relationships. This is why a heavily-posited seventh house often suggests a person who is especially attracted to one-on-one relationships or partnerships.

With personal planets in the seventh house of the natal chart, a person may feel a strong need for a partner to fulfill basic needs in one's own personality, which can ultimately weaken a partnership if the native doesn't take on more responsibility for that part of his or her own personality. The Sun in the seventh house suggests a person who negotiates and compromises. Partnership is important to the native, and one's identity is heavily wrapped up in partnership. The ego comes into play in relationships, and there can be a tendency to focus a little too heavily on keeping scores and trying to balance things out. Most important here is to avoid losing one's identity in a partnership, because it will wear the person down and resentment of the partner is quite possible. With the Moon in the seventh house, the native experiences a powerful neediness in relationships. The emotional connection to the partnership is strong. The drive to care for, and to be cared for, in a relationship is strong, and a relationship that fails to meet one's emotional needs will ultimately be unsatisfying. With Mercury in the seventh, the native's self-expression and ability to communicate comes alive in partnership. This person needs to be heard in order for the relationship to be satisfying. Venus in the seventh house suggests a strong need for harmony and balance in a partnership. The native has a hard time dealing with insensitive or volatile relations and strives for peaceful co-existence with a partner. The native avoids "rocking the boat", which can ultimately weaken a partnership. With Mars in the seventh house, the native feels alive through partnership, and sometimes will depend on a partnership to feed his or her drive and stores of energy. A relationship that is too peaceful or placid may leave the native feeling dissatisfied. He or she is looking for an active partnership, and may depend too much on a partner for motivation, disowning his or her own drive. That may be too much responsibility for a partner to bear in the long run.

Outer planets in the seventh house are less about disowning a part of ourselves, and more about qualities that we seek in our partnerships. With Jupiter in the seventh house, we look for a partner who is generous and high-minded in spirit. The native needs to feel that he or she is growing through a partnership, and has a hard time finding a partnership that seems to be stagnating satisfying. Saturn in the seventh house has has a bad rap. In my experience, this position of Saturn does not seem to deny or delay marriage. I have seen enough people with Saturn in the seventh who have married young, and whose partners are not considerably older than them. However, it does suggest a gravitation to a responsible and mature partner, as well as a heavier and more serious view of partnership than average. The native takes his or her partnerships seriously and will usually go to lengths to fulfill his or her responsibilities in partnership. The native has a hard time dealing with excessive neediness in a partner, and often feels a lot of pressure in and through a partnership. If trust is compromised, there may be a tendency to withhold affection. The person may "go through the motions", but will withdraw emotionally when hurt or slighted. A person with Uranus in the seventh house often is drawn to a partnership that breaks some of the traditional "rules". There is a need for space and freedom within partnerships. Natives with this placement of Uranus need to be careful that their need for a unique and untraditional partnership doesn't eclipse a true connection with the partner. Neptune in the seventh house suggests an attraction to a partner who is in need of help or who comes to one's own rescue. The desire for a spiritual connection to a partner is strong, but there can be a real problem seeing the partnership clearly, and, if this is the case, it is easy to feel taken advantage of. Pluto in the seventh house suggests an attraction to partnerships that turn the life inside out. The tendency to be fearful of losing a partnership is common with this placement. The native may attract partners who are possessive, and if this is the case, it is usually because he or she is projecting his or her own fears of being abandoned onto partnerships. Chiron in the seventh house suggests a certain defensiveness in partnerships. There can be a fear of opening oneself up to partnership, and a tendency to bend over backwards to be "fair" with a partner. If the native skirts emotional issues out of fear of rocking the boat, he or she puts undue pressure on the partnership.

I think it has more to do with your life lessons in general and whether partnership issues need to be addressed.

Hi! I have a loaded 7th house...it spans Leo and part of Virgo in my chart with cancer on the cusp of the 7th (no planets in Cancer)...
7th house Leo: Ceres, Jupiter. Pallas, Vertex
7th house Virgo: Sun, Mercury and Venus

I have been married twice both to Cancers
The 1st was when I was really young and it only lasted 3 years.. The second was when I was 29... You do change so much in your 20's... I think some people "grow up" faster than others... Just relax and enjoy the moment...You'll know when you are ready for that commitment.

I think what HSC said was very wise :
******There is a bright side to every planet,
and, in fact, I would even suggest that,
the darker the dark side, the brighter the bright side.
Focus on attracting/selecting partners who embody
the more positive projections of Saturn,
but dont forget that the 7th house is still
in YOUR chart, and is you, when you own it.********

I have Saturn in my 7th now...It will conjunct Jupiter this fall... And then everything else... It should be quite a ride....I have fretted (Virgo) about it but have decided to just say "WEEEEEE" and try to stay positive that there will be bessings abound.

i have uranus (scorpio) in the 7th house (trine sun-pisces and jupiter-cancer according to astro.com)
my ruler of the 7th house is venus
my venus is in aquarius in the 10th house
and i have venus parallel uranus in matching degrees...

umm..any interpretation on that? looks like i won't be getting married to me... i don't know... anyone else have any of these aspects?

My 7th house is empty, but I did get married all the same! Since the cusp of my 7th is in Gemini, I love to have stimulating conversation in relationships; they make for a great connection! I did not marry a Gemini though; it was a Scorpio. I liked the article posted by BlueEyes; it seems to explain it pretty well.

Here's a little blurb on Saturn in 7th:
"Saturn in the Seventh House

When Saturn is posited in the Seventh House there is a strong indication that the native may marry someone who is considerably older. It also signifies some delay in the consummation of marriage. The marriage partner will be extremely frugal, to the point where he or she is over-cautious concerning financial matters and if this is carried to an extreme unhappiness will result.

In certain instances the health of the partner causes considerable anxiety and the partner soon becomes a burden. The nature of this problem, as always, will depend upon sign position and aspects."

Ok, I don't think this should be taken literally; I rather see this as an indication of things to come, UNLESS we make some conscious effort to change it to how we like it. For instance, i have Saturn in my 9th house, which supposedly means that long-distance travel can have an adverse effect on my health. Well, I've lived in 4 countries so far, and travel extensively (I must've gone on about 9-10 trips since this year alone), and I've never had any bad experiences with it (well, except for my baggage being delayed a couple times), and all this travel suits my Sag Ascendant very well, so I'm not giving it up anytime soon!

Anyhow, I just wanted to say that I'm sure you will marry if you & your guy want it! So what else is in your 7th house outside of Saturn? Does your Moon make any aspects? I think that might also be indicative of who you'd be drawn to, and the kind of relationships you might have. How about Venusian aspects? - Venus in my chart sextiles Mars, squares Neptune, trines Uranus, and is the focal point of a Yod involving Pluto & Saturn. That means that being in love is a very complex thing for me since it activates a whole HOST of planets in my chart!!

Here's a read on Uranus in your 7th house:

"When Uranus is posited in the Seventh House it provides a romantic nature for the native. Sometimes, because of the strong inclination to romance, the native marries either very early or very suddenly in life. He must be careful here to employ a certain amount of discrimination otherwise he may make the wrong choice. He generally succombs (sp) to infatuations and will often follow temporary fascinations rather than true love. He must learn to be cautious with his emotions. He has a tendency to drop one association for another without carefully weighing the outcome."

Venus in the 10th house:
"Venus in the Tenth House affords the native a strong attraction to the artistic professions. The native may be connected, in one way or another, with some form of singing, dancing or acting. This is an excellent influence for financial success in the banking, accounting or insurance worlds. The societal and public position ensures the native considerable prestige. The native may exert some political influence if he can learn to blend his political views with his social life in which case he should attain high personal prestige."

How does that sound?

Your interpretation of Saturn in 7th House describes my marriage very accurately. However, I don't think that anyone should feel doomed by this placement. Just like you said, there is a lot more going on in anyone's chart. I am not a big fan of Jonathan Cainer but I like this quote. It applies more to transits but still

"If you have got a "weak" planetary force pushing you in one direction and a "strong" one pulling you in another - you DON'T have to go with the stronger one. You can "tune in" to the potential of the weaker signal - just as you can tune in to the signal if the faint radio station with a little determination. If the programm being broadcast is worth striving to hear, you can "catch it" ....as long as you are aware that it's actually there to found.

Never forget that you have a choice about what happens in your world. You want to be happier - you can be.... regardless of what's going on in the sky. Likewise, if you are really determined to give yourself a hard time , you can probably manage it, no matter how bright the astrological influences are!

Saturn is in my 9th house in Saggi.

I also have Saturn in house 7th. I was not a person to go after boys and I was never a party lover or a social butterfly. Things just happened, and I met them in class/at work (I have my Moon, Venus and Pluto in the 6th house, Pluto is in the cusp though).
My first love was a Capricorn with fire in him. My second love was different from the first one in every way, I behaved more childish with him, and he gave me love and tenderness. But he was also stable.
No idea how my next love will be, but probably very different from the other two lol.
