Uranus in the Seventh House
April 9, 2007 by Jeffrey Kishner
What? No zodiac sign today? I hate to break it to you, boys and girls, but there’s more to astrology than the signs. In fact, planets are where it’s at. Signs are just butter on your bread, dressing on your salad, scallions on your sweet potato.
Uranus is the planet of revolution, sudden change, and independence. We all have this disruptive influence in our charts, and because this outer planet spends about seven years in a zodiac sign as it travels around the Earth (!), its sign placement is not so important. Rather, its house placement shows where you need to shake up the status quo in your life.
We all have twelve houses in our chart, the houses being a way to divide time and space. They relate to areas of our lives, and the Seventh House concerns marriage and other significant partnerships. The Seventh House is the “dusk” part of our chart. If the Sun were in your Seventh House, that means that our star was soon to set at the time of your birth.
There’s about a 1-in-12 chance that anyone you meet has Uranus in their Seventh House. Woe be unto the poor soul who falls in love with such a person! The U7 (let’s call them), somewhat like someone with Venus in Aquarius, needs independence in his marriage or significant partnership. He won’t be tied down in any type of traditional relationship. U7 may be attracted to eccentric, brilliant or off-beat types as partners. Or he needs an unconventional arrangement — maybe an open marriage, or at least freedom from the constraints of being at his spouse’s side at all times. He may also feel that significant others are forcing change upon him, or that his spouse undergoes personal revolutions on a regular basis.
Uranus in the Seventh is a more powerful placement than Venus in Aquarius. U7 must continually break down the rigid structures of partnership. He will be compelled to shake things up when they become stagnant. Hence, U7 is not the ideal man if you want anything resembling a stable partnership. This does not mean that you can’t maintain longevity — but to make it work, you have to be flexible enough to withstand periodic upheavals in your love life. I guarantee it won’t be boring, but if you can’t tolerate the relationship equivalent of the Storming of the Bastille, turn away now.

yes, but don’t we all have conflicting drives?
Not mention I’ve got moon and venus in taurus…
Hi, I have Sun conjunct uranus at exact degree in my 7th house along with pluto…..woooaa along with Venus in Saggi and moon in Gemini..freedom os my favorite word to say the least..
Yes any relationship i am in is anything but conventional..
if i get bored, hmm i certainly start fishing immediately, lots of fish in the sea
I have Uranus in the 7th, Leo sun in the 5th, Scorpio Moon in 8th, Aries rising, Venus Virgo the 6th and Mars Taurus in the 2nd. When I was 16 I was in a 6 year relationship with a 30 year old that produced my beautiful Aquarian Daughter. Now that I am 33, I have never dated anyone over 30 and my current boyfriend is 25 (with blue hair nonetheless).
If I did a chart on how many Aquarius’ and Venus in Aquarius, I have dated no one would be able to deny that this is the reason. As the rest of my chart is virtually airless…I think between my Venus in Virgo RX and the Uranus in the 7th my chances of getting married are slim to none.
I have Uranus/ Pluto in the 7th opposing my Pisces Sun. Yep, space is an issue… I have been with Mr Scorp for 20 years, no cheating, but lots of travel breaks.
I have the Moon, Uranus and Pluto in the 7th, Aquarius rising, and Mercury conjunct Venus in Gemini.
Yes, I guess you’d say I am unconventional in my relationships. Actually, I have married 3 times, but the first time was only so I could get a student loan (long story).
The issue with me is one of freedom of course. I find it very difficult to have someone around at all times, and when I am in a relationship, I tend to go overboard, or quit! There seems to be no middle-ground. I have said often that I could very well see myself in a long-distance relationship. It think that might work. I have now been single for a long time, if you do not count the numerous younger people I have dated these past years.
As Saturn transited my 7th house, I believe I have matured a little in this area, meaning I may be ready to try again, just to see where I’m at (I know I make it sound like a scientific experiment, but that’s pretty much what it feels like).
I have Venus in Aquarius. I have have many long relationships (scorpio rising, moon conjunct pluto) but they never seem to last past 5 years. My most recent relationship lasted 4.5 years and happened to be with a man whose uranus was transiting his 7th house. It worked great while his transit lasted because we both required intense emotional connection (he had a cancer sun) and lots of freedom. But as the transit neared it’s end, so did our relationship. As a scorpio rising with my venus in aquaris I am learning that I must balance (moon in libra conjunct pluto) my need for freedom with emotional intensity and depth. I need both equally. I need my partner to know that I will love them to the end of the earth (and be forever loyal) as long as they don’t try to keep me caged. I’m a Sag sun, so this also often involves a great need for travel, sometimes for short stints away from my partner.
I have my 7th house in Aquarius along with my moon in libra mars in Aquarius and venus in Gemini..but i like the idea of marriage..so im kinda confused, but i have to say i hate the idea of a “wedding” i dont want my family there ugh i think its so cheesy. I look at marriage like a higher level of commitment and one that we should only celebrate between the 2 of us. ohh and im a sun taurus and rising leo
No i have venus in scorpio. Have no clue what that means though.
Phenix/scorpio, Fern just wrote an article describing Venus in Scorpio.
Wow! This website has proven to be very useful to me, and makes me feel less like the rebellious convention breaker most of my more conservative friends see me as. I have my sun and moon in Gemini in my 1st house, ruled by my Taurus rising sign, and a 7th house Uranus in Sagittarius ruled by my descendant in Scorpio. I would say that it is definitely a balancing act. I have my partner opposing my self in a way, with Uranus opposite my sun and moon, and I am quite intense, and private about my unusual relationships.
My former boyfriend, who died unexpectedly in an accident, also had 7th house Uranus, and Pluto. He had an intense, dark Scorpio moon which I loved, and was also a Gemini like me. I have Venus in my 12th house, so my relationships are supposed to be the place I feel soul deep pain, and it’s been true so far. But! I am not giving up on love; I find that I can’t. My earthy Taurean persona,and intense Scorpio other half won’t let me. I need partnership, and yet I am finding that being so “eccentric” myself, it’s a rare man that can catch my mind, and heart. I have also noticed that with Uranus in my Scorpionic 7th house, I learn my most life changing lessons thru my close partnerships and intimacy. It’s where I either am someone’s catalyst, or someone else comes into my life as mine.
