Mars in the 7th House

The 7th House governs partnership and close one-on-one relationships. Mars here makes those bonds active and sometimes combustible. You tend to attract — or pursue — partners with a lot of personal force. The relationship is rarely passive. Many Mars in the 7th people end up with partners who are themselves dynamic, assertive, or competitive in their own right. There is often a pattern where conflict and intimacy are intertwined. Arguments can clear the air; sex can follow fights; the relationship moves through pulses of tension and resolution. This can be alive and deeply real, or it can be exhausting and destabilizing, depending on whether the conflict is productive or just recurring. Business partnerships also tend to be charged. You may have a real talent for going into business with someone — combining your energy with another's in the service of a shared goal — and a corresponding talent for messy business divorces when the goal stops being shared. Choosing partners, in love and in work, with character that matches your own intensity is structural for this placement.
