When talking about the 7th house, it is most often described "paired" with Venus. Nevertheless, Mars in the 7th house is much more interesting, albeit more complex placement. These two planets, like sugar and hot pepper, are opposites that are somehow attracted. If Venus says that everything is fine, then Mars, it would seem, does not promise anything pleasant to its bearer.
general characteristics
What does the presence of Mars in the 7th house mean? First, it is worth noting that all the planets in this house make a person dependent on something. He often cannot fully express this planet without receiving the same energy from another person, be it a romantic partner, friend, relative, colleague, anyone.
So, with Mars in the 7th house, a person will need a constant sparring match with someone, no more and no less. The planets of the seventh year determine our influence on people in a one-on-one relationship. So, those who have a completed seventh house have a pretty strong social influence. Mars is energetic, invigorating, passionate. His energy is like adrenaline. Therefore, it is these people who play the role of “engines” in their relations with others. They make you go with you at the same pace, periodically pushing and giving "motivating kicks."
Good-natured aggressor
This arrangement can manifest itself in two different ways. Some carriers of the synastric Mars in the 7th house can be completely harmless and good-natured. But most of these people are fed at the expense of others. When you are with them, they want you to show your aggressive, competitive side. This is exactly how they relate to people. Yes, this is the same member of your family or acquaintance who suddenly lights up whenever the air starts to smell of struggle, conflict, scandal. Such people are very fond of competitive games. They do their utmost to prove to others that they are superior in everything, moreover, to do it in a forceful, competitive way.
Battle excitement
On the other hand, Mars may represent our aggressive nature. For people with Mars in the 7th house, it is not uncommon to have an aggressive, pugnacious, somewhat conflicting character. This is very different from the 1st house of Mars, the carrier of which usually just goes ahead in some new unpredictable situations, as if declaring war on the whole world around it, but doing it in such a way that it only hurts itself. The red planet in the 7th house, especially when it is not properly balanced, can give its carrier a habit of attacking other people.
House of Mirrors
And it is in this position that the seventh house becomes the house of mirrors. Since the planets in this house often require other people to give them the same planetary energy, the responsibility for any given situation can always be shifted to another person. Nowhere is this more striking than in the case of Mars, since it is this planet that provokes the struggle and conflicts. Thus, a person with this placement can sincerely believe that in all conflict situations it is not his fault, but others. However, they may also not understand that their aggressive behavior is what drives others around, provoking them to fight. Of course, this creates great difficulties. Mars in the 7th house of a man gives rise to a typical bully from a nearby street, a school bully and a brawler. However, this is not a hopeless accommodation.
Dynamic spirit
Mars in a woman’s 7th house creates such a situation that you can depend on the aggressiveness of others to be aggressive on your own. That is, you will be attracted to typical dominant males, from the control of which you will constantly break free, then to fall under it again. Staying in a passive, inactive and non-competitive company can really stifle the expression of your dynamic spirit. You are inspired by the expression of an alien Mars, allowing your Mars to emerge from the shadows. Nevertheless, you feel rather depressed near those who do not suit you. Mars in the 7th house of a woman gives its owners the habit of judging people by how strong they are. Such women usually complain of a chronic shortage of strong men in society, because they really need a strong male shoulder, but not in order to lean on it and live the passive life of the hearth keeper, but in order to always have someone to fight with.
Disadvantages and advice of astrologers
As with Saturn in the seventh house, a person with Mars in this house can sometimes feel lost and unmotivated without a strong, purposeful person next to him. In itself, the carrier of this planet in the seventh house is an active person, but to maintain activity he needs some kind of stimulus from the outside. If you relate to these people, then you have your goals, desires and passions. Just follow them to the end and believe that you will attract like-minded people.
The people of Mars hold power over others, which in itself inspires respect. Any individual gifted with the influence of Mars is an ambitious person. You can dominate people thanks to your motivating, exciting energy. Things and people revolve around you at a frantic speed when you are nearby. In fact, you may not really like to just sit and do nothing, a passive lifestyle is definitely not for you. You like the action in its wildest and most primitive form. The symbol of Mars is a spear piercing the surrounding space, and this is not just.
Team player
You can act much more efficiently when someone is near you. However, you do not want to be the one who does all the work in pairs. The seventh house is a balance, it largely protects the exchange. So you want someone to work the same way you do. The symbol of Mars - a shield with a spear pointing up - just implies struggle, labor and military fraternity. For this reason, you enjoy arguments and even minor conflicts in your relationship. But do not go too far! In any case, you do not see the need to treat people in a super-tactful way. Unlike Venus in the 7th house, you are not interested in always pleasing everyone and maintaining a peaceful environment. In any case, you can always make peace with a person, doing some common work with him.
Intimate life
Another interesting thing is that Mars also controls sexual desires. How will this affect your personal relationships? When it comes to romance, in particular, if there is no regular sex, you can vomit and throw. You are a very passionate and easily excitable person. But even outside of romance, in many of your relationships there is still a certain sexual charge. If Venus in the 7th house likes to simply flirt and sexually tease many of her friends and others, then you most likely act much more aggressively and bluntly. However, this does not mean that you are sleeping with everything that moves. But if at some point you feel that your sexual needs are not satisfied, most likely, nothing will stop you from satisfying them here and now.
The logic of all this is that in this way you strive to satisfy your lust (Mars) as much as possible at the expense of another person (7th house). This sounds like an obvious statement. Of course, most people act in a similar way, because this is the essence of any relationship. However, your sexual side does not feel truly full, withstanding prolonged abstinence. Periods of abstinence and even monogamy can be extremely painful for people with Mars in this house. Therefore, when you have the slightest opportunity to satisfy your lust, you are most likely to use it without any pain of conscience and doubt, unless the strong influences of the Virgin or Scorpio emphasize endurance or self-control in your character. However, Mars is our male side. The side that just wants to "get." Thus, Mars in this house constantly needs a conflict with someone, including a conflict of an erotic nature, otherwise he feels uncomfortable.
Love and relationships
For this reason, love relationships in such people may not be too romantic or sentimental. A hot clash of mutual passion is the best way to start a love affair for Mars in this house, which also affects marriage - the transit of Mars through the 7th house, for example, is the most passionate and “hottest” time to play a wedding. Such a wedding does not do without fervent fights, cheerful conflicts and friendly disputes. But a person with such an arrangement should always remain passionate. That is why these people, as a rule, need strong, persistent, dynamic partners. Relationships must remain exciting and challenging.
Marriage script
Mars can be considered a harmful planet, it is quite aggressive in nature. When a person with a strong Mars is poorly versed in himself and does not know how to control himself, he will always direct his aggression to everything that surrounds him. This may apply to cases when his Mars is in the house of marriage, but this is not always the case. It is worth noting that the spouse of this person is likely to have the same conflict and explosive character, regardless of what aspects of Mars he will have with other planets, so they will not be bored together.
And indeed, the owner of Mars in the seventh house himself will look for just such a person as a partner, since he cannot become attached to passive people. Everything that happens after marriage already has a different scenario. A quiet family life will be unknown to two people who came together under the planet of war in the family and marriage house, as the seventh house is sometimes described, and they will constantly conflict with each other, but these conflicts, it is worth noting, will only strengthen their relationship, each time burning the mutual passion. And when the lovers realize this peculiarity, carefully studying each other's natal charts (or at least reading this article), everything in their life will be fine.
