The lord of the 12th house in the 7th house of the horoscope

The lord of the 12th house in the 7th house links partnership with distant lands, solitude and expenses: the spouse or business partner may be a foreigner or live far away, and the relationship calls for an investment of energy and money.

The 7th house is marriage, partnership, contracts, work with the public. The 12th house governs, among other things, the pleasures of the bed, solitude and foreign lands, so its lord in the 7th house makes intimacy, romance and travel an important part of the relationship. From the 7th house the planet aspects the lagna, and the person himself changes noticeably under the partner's influence — often becoming gentler and more contemplative.

How it manifests

• meeting while travelling, marriage to someone from another city, country or culture;
• business partners abroad, international trade, import and export;
• spending on the partner, joint travel, housing for the couple;
• a need for mutual personal space even in close relationships.

The partner may be inclined towards spirituality, art or secluded work; sometimes the couple spends time apart. The relationship goes better when both partners' need for quiet is respected and there are clear agreements about joint spending.

Strong and weak lord

The 12th lord is neutral and gives the results of the other house it owns. With Taurus lagna Mars rules the 7th and 12th houses and in the 7th house stands in its own sign Scorpio; with Scorpio lagna Venus, ruler of the 7th and 12th, is in the 7th house in its own Taurus. In both cases the theme of the 7th house prevails: the partnership is stable, though connected with travel and expenses. If, however, the lord is afflicted by Saturn, Rahu or Ketu, it is wise not to rush into commitments and to discuss financial expectations before marriage.
