Uranus in the Seventh House
What? No zodiac sign today? I hate to break it to you, boys and girls, but there's more to astrology than the signs. In fact, planets are where it's at. Signs are just butter on your bread, dressing on your salad, scallions on your sweet potato.
Uranus is the planet of revolution, sudden change, and independence. We all have this disruptive influence in our charts, and because this outer planet spends about seven years in a zodiac sign as it travels around the Earth (!), its sign placement is not so important. Rather, its house placement shows where you need to shake up the status quo in your life.
We all have twelve houses in our chart, the houses being a way to divide time and space. They relate to areas of our lives, and the Seventh House concerns marriage and other significant partnerships. The Seventh House is the "dusk" part of our chart. If the Sun were in your Seventh House, that means that our star was soon to set at the time of your birth.
There's about a 1-in-12 chance that anyone you meet has Uranus in their Seventh House. Woe be unto the poor soul who falls in love with such a person! The U7 (let's call them), somewhat like someone with Venus in Aquarius, needs independence in his marriage or significant partnership. He won't be tied down in any type of traditional relationship. U7 may be attracted to eccentric, brilliant or off-beat types as partners. Or he needs an unconventional arrangement -- maybe an open marriage, or at least freedom from the constraints of being at his spouse's side at all times. He may also feel that significant others are forcing change upon him, or that his spouse undergoes personal revolutions on a regular basis.
Uranus in the Seventh is a more powerful placement than Venus in Aquarius. U7 must continually break down the rigid structures of partnership. He will be compelled to shake things up when they become stagnant. Hence, U7 is not the ideal man if you want anything resembling a stable partnership. This does not mean that you can't maintain longevity -- but to make it work, you have to be flexible enough to withstand periodic upheavals in your love life. I guarantee it won't be boring, but if you can't tolerate the relationship equivalent of the Storming of the Bastille, turn away now.

I have gemini in the 7th house. Hmm.. interesting. I also have venus conjunct Uranus. I wonder how that affects things?
Venus conjunct Uranus is similar to Uranus in the 7th. Also, if Gemini is on your Descendant, you need lots of variety in your relationship life.
I kinda thought so. I guess this explains the urge to flee and the booting of the hub out yesterday.
Is the effect similar to Uranus in libra in the 11th. This is coupled with venus in aquarius. I've found relationships really hard to maintain in the past - tend to feel suffocated and oppressed somehow - or could that be due to a loose conjunction of saturn with the 7th house cusp?
No, Uranus in the 11th would be about friends and groups, not romantic relationships. Is your Uranus trine Venus, is that what you mean by "coupled"? Uranus trine Venus in Aquarius could correspond with your tendency to feel suffocated.
Saturn conjunct the 7th would relate to hardship in partnership, or an attraction to older or more authoritarian partners, or coming into relationship later in life after much struggle.
I quite enjoyed reading the discussion on the placement of planets in relationships. This is an interesting direction to take some of the blog postings (which are invariably interesting & entertaining). Thanks!
I thought I did at one time--and it rather fit me--I was always attracted to unusual types and had unusual, odd relationships.
However, that was doing my chart with an equal house method, and also because I was unaware I was *not* born during Daylight Savings Time.
As it happens I have *Pluto* in the 7th. :-o
(Although Uranus is conjunct my Descendant) :-)
Cancer on the 7th, Venus opp Uranus, in addition to it being in the 7th. How did it manifest? Married the same Aquarian 3 times. Divorced twice, widowed the last. Best friends forever and ever and ever.
Hi, Jeffrey: I liked reading about something other than signs. Thanks. Can you post something about the 7th house and how aspects to its ruler might affect relationships?
I have Uranus at 6 degrees Virgo conjunct my Descendant in Virgo. I have never been able to sustain a long term relationship. The longest was 9 months. However, this is not because I chose to end the relationships. In fact having a long term happy relationship is what I yearn for and I feel continually frustrated and sad that I can't develop anything significant that lasts. I also have the sun conjunct venus and pluto in Virgo and they sit between 13 and 15 degrees Virgo. Also chiron opposes from 14 degrees Pisces. Any comments or tips for me to break free of my 7th house curse!
Virgo chick,
I've answered you at The Seventh House curse of Uranus on the Descendant?
I recently saw a birthchart report that said Uranus in the 7th means unfaithfulness. Does Uranus in the 7th house automatically mean infidelity/unfaithfulness? Can it just mean needing space or change in the relationship? Let's say a person has sun in Capricorn or a Taurus ascendant or Venus in Taurus? Wouldn't the "stability" of those planets tame the restlessness somehow?
On a not so related note...I personally have Uranus in my 1st and a moon in Libra. I have had descriptions state that my moon in Libra can make me unfaithful in relationships yet I have never cheated in any of my relationships and also have never had an affair with someone in a relationship.I AM very independant due to Uranus in my 1st and need space but I prefer to be faithful. As a matter of fact infidelity seems offensive to me. Sure I get tempted like everybody else does but I have never acted on those impulses. I wonder if that may be cause of my Cancer moon or Venus in Taurus "taming" that effect in some way? And if in that same regard can a person who has Uranus in their 7th be a bit more restrained due to startegically placed earth signs in their chart.
I have venus in aquarius and the husband has uranus in his 7th but he has venus in cancer and neither one of us is the cheating type. We are actually a bit clingy and we like it. The only time I would even consider cheating on someone I LOVE is to get revenge because I'm a scorpio moon. He's a gemini with a scorpio moon also. Does our moons over shadow our uranus?
Tina,
I've answered your question in a new post.
AQUAGIRL, I wouldn't say that the Moon overshadow Uranus, but it will certainly play its part in the whole picture. I go into this more in the above link.
I have Uranus in Scorpio in 7th house. It's a very difficult position for a woman. I'm 29 and still single although I'm kinda attractive and I've had lots of boyfriends and open relationships, the last one finished one week ago, an impossible one. I can't find a suitable spouse for me, I'm always breaking up because they don't want to commit or they're just not for me. Besides a want a partner whom I can experience love and sexual intensity with. I need both things!. But I'd love to have a man for life.
Anonymous, I feel a lot of identification with you. However, I am a Scorp female, Aquar rising and Venus in Virgo (7th House) and Mars in Cancer (5th house). So it means that I want a partner for life, but I ask a lot to this partner because I think I also offer a lot of things. Soooo, I am 31 I only had a relationship in my life and it was many years ago...Sometimes I feel I am a weirdo
Hi, scorp-aq. I see your story is similar, but you have better positions for stability and when you do find a suitable partner, you're going to last. I'm a female pisces, taurus ascendant, with venus, mercury and moon in pisces in 11th house, mars in Cancer, uranus in scorp of course. I know I'm kinda interesting for opposite sex, same as you, but there are not very serious chances for me. Most guys see me as an ocassional companion. And I do fall in love terrible with anybody I start a relationship with but I tend to lost them. I'm suffering a lot now for this last guy and he doesn't feel the same way about me. What about you?. Do you fall in love so easily, too?. Hehe.
Hi,
I have uranus retrograde in virgo in the 7th house. I had a 15 year relationship that ended in divorce (I was so relieved) and now I'm in a 4 year (so far) relationship that has periods of big upheaval because we don't communicate well. (they always seem like the end of the relationship) I try to keep things that hurt my feelings at bay and then they all come out at once. He does the same thing with his own twist on not communicating very well. When the dust settles, we're still in love.
What does uranus in retrograde in Virgo in the seventh house indicate?
U7 in Leo, opposite Chiron; Sun & Merc in Virgo (9th)/Venus Virgo (8th), Cap Asc, Cap Moon... heck, let's throw in the Libra Mars (8th)-square-Cap Saturn. I can feel smothered after one date! As much as the culture insists we pair off, I'm inclined to think I don't fit that mold.
Oops - correction:

I have uranus and pluto in the 7H in libra and have just found the love of my life last yr at 34yo. I have always had b'friends & LTR's but not the 'one'. He is pretty uranian: brilliant (high iq), works in conservation, scientist, etc.. Prior I had tended to date artsy eccentrics in quite cathartic relationships...this is just a healthier manifestation of the energies (so far). He also travels quite a bit for work, so we have a bit of independence from each other which we NEED....but when we are together we are attached at the hip. I'm still working with the energies and some days are better than others.
Best to all!
Hi Jeff, I have U7 in Sco and have Ven 29 Cap, a little away from Aqu. My Sun, Mer and Mars in Pis. Moo in tau.
Im 29 yrs and most of my relationships have finished at the 3 mth mark. I just finished my longest being 8 mths and that was over the net, lol, he was in iraq. ha when he meet me he said I wasnt affectionate enough!
I really would like to be in a long term relationship, although i dont want to be in a 'boring or normal' relationship as it doesnt interest me.
Men are attracted to me, but thats about all that happens, I can get a man... I just cant keep him long term :-(
@PisceanGirl, :(
The comments section isn't the best place to address this. If you would like your chart considered in a future blog post, please post your stats .
thanks jeff. where should i post my stats?
You can ask a question for the blog here.
I'm 34, Pisces with Capricorn Moon and Mars. What bothers me is my Uranus and Pluto in 7th house. Pluto aspects my Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Neptune, Midheaven and Ascendant. And Uranus aspects my Moon, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn and Midheaven.
I've always been drawn to powerful controlling types and my relationships have always lasted 2-5 years, but I have a destructive pattern that eventually ends my relationships of wanting intensity and then wanting to break it, then when it's broken, I want the intensity again.
I read somewhere that I project these qualities that I need to own for myself eg self control and independence. How do I do that? Some advise would be appreciated.
I have Venus, Uranus, and Saturn all conjunct in Sagitarius in my 7th house and I can't ever find anything about how all three of them would work. I have relationship problems. I'm in love with an Arab Nihilist who lives in London, and I live in Texas. hahaha. People bore me easily, only when I get close to them.
Im a virgo.I have the sun,pluto,and uranus in the 7th w leo on the cusp. Does this mean that my seventh is ruled by leo? not virgo? Uranus in the 7th sucks. As a teenager it tortured me. I would wind up hurt all the time in relationships because its like running into a brickwall. I had no this was the reason why nothing ever lasted with another person.But I realize its about accepting the endings and beginnings of things without being too hurt by it.I mean does anyone really know why things begin or end. Its not easy but with age it gets easier.
I have Uranus conjunct Mars in my seventh house. They aren't afflicted with my other planets (on the contrary-all good aspects), however, it is very difficult for me to "find" a stable relationship and I often fall in love with men who don't live in my contry... hm...
I have U7 in Cancer. Although many ppl find me attractive, I cannot get any partner since almost 6 years. I was married for 4 years from age 38-42. Additional information: I have Mars also in the 7th, Saturn and Jupiter in lagna [capricorn]. Moon, the houseowner of 7th sits with Rahu in the 8th house. My DOB 25.04.1961, time 2.27 am at Berlin, Germany.
Dear Jeffrey Kishner, is there any solution for my case? I really want to find a life partner. My email is kishoriray@gmail.com
Dear Jeffrey, I am very glad to find ur blog. Thanks a lot and ll the best for u!
I just wanted to add that I am really a kind of independent but I definately want to have a lasting relationship, I am also very homely and creative as well. Have a nice day!
my 3rd comment: After reading some of the comments here, showing how the feel, i could just copy/paste them, since i feel exactely the same...
1. desire for lasting relationship
2. dislike for boring or comon partners, but very interesting outstanding individuals, like freaked out artists, or ppl who are not like others
3. people get attracted to me, but those who i like would not committ to me
4. I am intense in love and totally broken apart when those whom I love, just leave, although they always come with the comon phrase that we can be friends...
5. I am not a person who wants to flee or will be unloyal but I need definately lots of space for myself [to work out my creativity in music, arts, communications]
6. I don't think that partners of U7 have to be cheaters in their relationship, but i think they have to be given more space for their inner development and they cannot be boring or stereotype.
As u told that Uranus stays for 7 years in one sign, I would like to ask what exactely U7 in Cancer is doing? I guess he is pretty emotional, attached but at the same time a person of never ending creations and ideas in his field.
Is Uranus in Cancer connected to the Hippie time or Flowerpower time?
Thanks again for your great blog!
My DOB 25.04.1961, 2.27 am, Berlin, Germany.
