To marry for love is the dream of every person and it is a dream as old as the world. We dream of finding love, falling in love, sharing love and "living happily ever after until the end of our days" with our beloved. Life however often has other plans and does not ask us at all whether we agree or not. In many cases marriage and love are two separate categories. Very often the reasons for entering into a marriage are not associated with love and deep feelings. Of course, there is nothing abnormal in this, given that marriage is essentially about responsibility, care for a shared home, family and everyday life.
The topic of the article today is how marriage and love are connected in our lives. Are we destined to experience them with different people, or do we have a chance that they will be related. Fairy tales, even if they are fictional, still have some real source. Also, we always know people who have the good fortune to turn their greatest love into marriage and life together.
In astrology, the seventh house or the so-called Descendant is the field related to the spouse and our relationship with them. This is the area that describes what kind of relationship we are looking for, what is important for us in marriage and what we give priority to - therefore it is our guide in marriage and married life. Whether it is love and the feelings we experience, good friendship between us, material status and welfare, involvement of parents and families, fate can intervene, maybe through an event such as the occurrence of unplanned children. The zodiac sign in which the seventh house falls and the planet that rules it provide important information about the way marriage will arrive, what it is connected with, what it is motivated by and what type of person the partner is.
Further on in this article I will describe what we derive from the zodiac sign in which the seventh house falls. But first I will mention some additional indicators to those who have entered a little deeper into astrology and have an idea of some of the peculiarities involved in the analysis of the horoscope.
The location of the planet ruling the seventh house tells us what other spheres marriage is bound by, the rules which govern this aspect of life. In other words, if you have an ascendant in Aries, the seventh house falls in Libra. Libra in itself suggests that love in the form of tenderness, fondness and admiration (not so much based on passion and sensuality) is always a leading element in marriage, as this sign is ruled by Venus. However, in the horoscope Venus can be located in any of all 12 houses and this will give us a special interpretation. If Venus is situated in the fourth house, it is a sign that the marriage will happen with the intervention of parents and family. If Venus is located in the fifth house, then surely this is a sign that you are one of those lucky people where marriage comes from love and is decided mainly by how much you are in love with your partner, how deep this love is and whether you feel happy with them.
Now I will describe what the sign in which the seventh house is located in the horoscope, and the planet that rules it, tells us. In this information I will also include the house position of the ruling planet for those who know it. If you know that the planet ruling the seventh house in your horoscope is in the fourth house, look for the information I have given in brackets for “ruling planet in the 4th house”.
Ascendant in Aries (ruling planet in the 7th house)
The seventh house falls in Libra and is ruled by Venus. This is the sign that is the model of marriage and partnerships in life in general. And Venus, as manager of the relationship type that you look for, is a planet which is mainly related to love, infatuation and feelings. Therefore love, in its form of tenderness, admiration and pure feelings, is always a part and the main motive for entering into marriage. You have a strong need for partnerships, marriage and family life in which the main ingredient is love and pleasure to be with one’s partner. You strive not only to be in love with your partner, but also to have love and marriage which others admire. You strongly appreciate marriage as a social norm and you enter into it mostly because you look very good with someone as a couple. However, you are amongst the people whose love for their partner often becomes stronger after marriage.
If the planet ruling the seventh house falls in the same house, it is a sign that you will enter into a marriage with a very bright and striking partner around whom you yourself will stand out somehow, but this person will also provoke love, fondness and admiration.
