The strength of the horoscope depends upon the position of planets in their respective houses and their positioning in the other houses. Each house signifies certain aspects of life. The significance of houses should be thoroughly understood four judging a horoscope. Here is a look at the Seventh house in Hindu horoscope.
The Seventh house is called the ‘Matrimonial House or
Kalatra Sthana.
This house governs the mouth, navel, venereum and feet. It
signifies matrimony, success in enterprises, long distance travel, expenditure,
sexual and sensual pleasures, victory, success over enemies, deception and loss
covered by the opposite sex, and vitality.
The houses, twelve in number, represent the entire history
of the individual. By a careful scrutiny of the planetary combinations and
aspects in the twelve houses, the whole life of a person can be predicted with
sufficient accuracy. But predictions must be made exercising discretion and
common sense coupled with a certain amount of intuition. Combinations of
planets, their exaltation and debilitations are important to consider before
making predictions. Also, the relations and inter relations of planetary
vibrations must be carefully scrutinized before predictions.
All houses influence the life of the individual depending
upon the planets positioning, the signs or bhavas. All planets position in the seventh
house from their location in a house.
The houses need not go with the twelve zodiac signs. In fact,
they differ completely as they are decided by the rising signs in relation to
the latitude of the place of birth and time of birth. They are decided by the
ascendant or the rising sign at birth. The extents of the houses are not equal
and differ in degrees. Further, all the twelve houses need not be occupied by
the rashis or signs, even two or three planets may figure in the same house.
The cusps only decide the house.
