Here you can read more about the 1st astrological house.
7th house’s main domains: contractual relationships, marriage, business partnership, spouse, business, marketplace, negotiation, legal matters, agreements, business deals,
The first house ruler brings the agenda of the 1st house into the 7th house.
Wherever the lord or ruler of the 1st house is located in the natal chart, that is where the native puts a lot of effort, energy, and focus. In other words, the native is strongly invested in the 7th house domains.
The 7th house is a kama house.
The 3rd, 7th, and 11th houses, the social houses are the kama houses. Those are all about desires. The 3rd is the short-term desires. The 7th is the sexual desire and the 11th is the long-term fulfillment of the desires.
People with the chart ruler in these houses or having personal planets in these houses are more social beings and socializing plays a major role in their lives. The 3rd house rules the immediate environment. The 7th house is in charge of one on one socializing. While the 11th house is the chosen friends.
These houses are considered positive in these days and age, especially in Western society.
There are no good or bad labels in astrology. However, these kama houses- or desire houses can be a distraction from doing one’s dharma, their purpose of incarnation, or life’s mission. They are on the path to experiencing the fulfillment of their desires. Though, with proper consciousness, these people can enjoy the fulfillment of their short-term and long-term desires while working on their purpose or mission, mind you.
Ascendant aka the natal chart ruler in the 7th house and the mission of the person
Ascendant ruler, 1st house lord, chart ruler, and 1st house ruler are synonyms. And they refer to the same planet, mind you.
What happens if the 1st house lord is in the 7th house?
Marriage and business partnership plays a major role in these people’s lives. As the Ascendant ruler- the self, the path of life- goes into the 7th house, which is mostly about contractual partnerships.
These people invest a lot of time, energy, and effort into the 7th house domains. To find a marriage partner and business partner. And they identify with these people too, or with these roles. As being the wife or husband of someone, or a business partner of someone.
This planetary placement is mostly misunderstood in that these people only want to be in a relationship or be married and their life rotates around their spouse. Well, it can be.
Keep in mind, the 7th house is a business house. It is the marketplace, where people negotiate, bargain, make deals, make contracts, make compromises, find solutions that are convenient to both sides, etc. And besides having a strong desire for a marriage partner, or for a long-lasting committed relationship they have the same drive to do business.
In a similar vein, once they have their own business the way to succeed is to partner up, and work with business partners. To combine their energies.
Lord if the 1st house in the 7th house is the furthest point in the natal chart.
From the Ascendant, the 1st house the 7th house is the furthest place. In other words, this is an indicator that the native goes to the place where the spouse lives or follows the spouse. This is also an indicator of living abroad.
Marriage, Spouse
As it was mentioned above these people invest a lot of time, effort, and energy to find a partner– and they usually want to find a spouse not only affairs. They want contractual relationships and that is marriage, to legalize it.
However, in astrology living together without being married, or having a child together is considered a marriage. The reason is it is no longer about dates and fun times (5th house) but responsibilities too.
Venus- in a male chart- and Jupiter in a female chart- and the planet in the 7th sign from the Moon also talk about the spouse, not only the 7th house. Here you can read more about marriage in astrology.
Having the chart ruling planet in the 7th house is an indicator of a long and good marriage.
As they are highly invested in the relationship and marriage and also these people invested in relationships more, they can be relationship counselors or couple therapists too. Again, their life rotates around relationships.
The 12 Zodiac Signs and their rules in the 7th house
Aries Ascendant to Leo Ascendant
Aries Ascendant with Mars in Libra in the 7th house: there is a strong sexual attraction with the partner, and fights and arguments are also more than likely with the partner. As Mars rules are energized and driven, these people put a lot of effort into their relationships. The spouse might be athletic, or there are power struggles and competition between them. For Aries people, this can be an indicator that the 1st marriage ends because Mars rules the 8th house too- Scorpio- and the 8th house talks about death and the end of something and sudden reversals.
Taurus Ascendant with Venus in Scorpio in the 7th house: the native is attracted to good-looking, socially graceful people, who are sensual, romantic, and charming. For Taurus Ascendant people Venus rules the 6th house, which is conflicts and situations out of balance. Though Venus aims for balance and harmony, they can find harmony and peace again after an argument. Or they might work with the spouse together.
Gemini Ascendant with Mercury in Sagittarius in the 7th house: Luck and good fortune come to the native through the partner. This a lucky position for having a good marriage.

Leo Ascendant to Scorpio Ascendant
Leo Ascendant with Sun in Aquarius in the 7th house: This planetary placement can indicate that the partner is dominant or even egoistic. The better scenario is the partner has a strong solar quality in them. For these people to succeed they need partners.
Virgo Ascendant with Mercury in Pisces in the 7th house: The native and their partner bond by communicating and communication plays a major role in their relationship. Also, they are really business-minded people, because Mercury also rules business and anything that is connected to selling, advertising, and marketing. Also, Mercury rulers their 10th house- the reputation and career- marriage and business partnerships have a positive effect on their reputation and social status, and career.
Libra Ascendant with Venus in Aries in the 7th house: These people are attracted to athletic, highly sexual partners who are also charming.

Scorpio ascendant with Mars in Taurus in the 7th house: These people are attracted to highly athletic and competitive partners, with whom they can create a highly sexualized relationship. Though Mars is fights and arguments, therefore they might have more of those too or they are competitive with each other. Also, for Scorpio Ascendant people Mars rules their 6th house, the house that talks about conflicts and situations out of balance. In order to avoid conflicts they’d better be active together- Mars- and make an effort to keep the spark.
Sagittarius Ascendant to Pisces Ascendant
Sagittarius Ascendant with Jupiter in Gemini in the 7th house: Jupiter in the 7th house is a lucky position. They are blessed with a good marital life and with a good partner, probably the partner is from a foreign country or a Sagittarius-born person. The partner/spouse teaches a lot to the native.

The native is attracted to a mature or even older partner who provides them security and stability and social status. This marriage or relationship can feel like a business partnership or the partner means a great deal of responsibility to the native.
Aquarius Ascendant with Saturn in Leo in the 7th house: For Aquarius Ascendant people Saturn also prolongs and gives longevity to the marriage. And they too are looking for a mature and capable partner. However, for them it is different. Capricorn is there for emotional security too. While for Aquarius people Saturn rules their 12th house- the house of endings and completion. It can indicate that the first marriage or committed relationship ends.
Pisces Ascendant with Jupiter in Virgo in the 7th house: Wherever Jupiter goes it gives its blessings and gifts. These people are granted a great marriage and a good partner/spouse. Also, Jupiter rules their 10th house too, the marriage can elevate their social status and reputation. The spouse/partner might be from a foreign country or has a strong Jupiter in their natal chart.
Business, business partnership
The 7th house is not only a marriage but also a business. And it talks about everything business related.
That is more than likely that their path in life includes having their business.
Having a business partner or more than one and collaborating is the key to success for these individuals.
Collaborating and working in a group are not the same. Working in a group is 3rd house matter, and It means that the members of the group divide and distribute the work within each other and everyone does what he/she is good at. While collaborating can mean that the business partners do the same work and do not complete each other’s work.
Negotiating, making deals, compromising
As the 1st house lord- the self, the personality- goes to the 7th house which also rules making deals, agreements, negotiating, bargaining, and compromising. These people are good at them. They are good at finding solutions that are convenient for both sides.
Also, the 7th house talks about diplomatic skills. Especially the ruling planet is Venus in the 7th house, the person is charming, kind, and diplomatic. Unless it is Mars, then the native is more competitive and ambitious, and driven to seal a deal.
Look and appearance of the person
The 1st house ascendant is in charge of the look, and appearance of the native. And the planet in the 7thhouse too alters the look of the native. For example, a Taurus Ascendant person with Venus in Scorpio in the 7th house might look more like a Scorpio than a Taurus.
