Sexual Parts: The 7th house rules the sexual parts of Kala Purusha. Therefore any affliction to the 7th house indicates problems in the sexual organs.
Passions: One’s passions are directly linked to the sexual part of the body. Therefore the 7th house also reveals the passions that a person entertains. Whether they are perverted or not can be seen from the 7th house. Malefic influences and those of Venus with Mars give perverted urges.
Conjugal Bliss: Happiness in marriage is revealed from the 7th house as this is the house from which marriage is ascertained. Malefic influences denote a lack of happiness between the married partners. Conjugal happiness is obtained from the fulfillment of physical pleasures. For this, the 12th house should have some connection with the 7th house.
Marital Harmony: There is more to marriage than just the physical aspect. It is the marriage of the mind too. If the two partners cannot achieve harmony in their thinking then there can never be any happier. As far as Ascendant Bhava is concerned whatever one sees for the Ascendant Bhava gets set in the 7th house and for that purpose, the 7th house is not considered good.
For a male, the Karaka for the 7th house or spouse is Venus and for the female, it is Jupiter. The 7th lord in different houses gives varying results. This also depends on the planet involved and the aspects it gets. On the whole, the results are mainly related to marriage and partnership.

The position of the 7th lord is very important and has to be carefully examined to check if it is influenced by both malefics and benefics for matters related to foreign residence, travel, public appearance, public success, partnership deeds, business associates and also regarding spouse and death. The 7th lord in a Kendra is considered good and will give undisturbed results. The 7th lord being the ruler of a Kendra and placed in another Kendra can give good results.
