The 7th house in Jyotish
The 7th house, Yuvati bhava, governs the spouse, marriage, partnerships, business and travel. In whole-sign houses, the house is the 7th sign counted from the ascendant; its sign, its lord, the planets in it and the planets aspecting it together describe these matters.
Its natural significator (karaka) is Venus. Parashara’s rule is to judge a house from its lord, from the planets in it and from its karaka together.
It is a kendra (angular house), a pillar of the chart; a maraka (house that can bring endings); a kama house. Benefics placed here strengthen the chart; the lords of kendras and trikonas joining form raja yogas.
