When talking about the 7th house, it is most often described as "paired" with Venus. However, Mars in the 7th house is a much more interesting, albeit more complex, placement. These two planets, like sugar and hot pepper, are opposites that somehow attract. If Venus says that everything is fine, then Mars, it would seem, does not promise anything pleasant to its carrier.
General characteristics
What does the presence of Mars in the 7th house indicate? First, it is worth noting that all the planets in this house make a person dependent on something. He often cannot fully express this planet without receiving the same energy from another person, be it a romantic partner, friend, relative, colleague, whoever.
So, with Mars in the 7th house, the person will need a constant sparring match with someone, no more and no less. The planets of the seventh year determine our influence on people in a one-on-one relationship. So, those who have a filled seventh house have a fairly strong social influence. Mars is energetic, invigorating, passionate. Histhe energy is like adrenaline. Therefore, it is these people who play the role of "engines" in their relations with others. They force you to go with them at the same pace, periodically adjusting and giving "motivational kicks".
The good-natured aggressor
This arrangement can manifest itself in two different ways. Some carriers of the synastric Mars in the 7th house can be completely harmless and good-natured. But for the most part, these people are fed at the expense of others. When you're around them, they want you to show your aggressive, competitive side. This is exactly how they treat people. Yes, this is the same member of your family or acquaintance who suddenly lights up whenever the air begins to smell of struggle, conflict, scandal. Such people are very fond of competitive games. They strive with might and main to prove to others that they are superior in everything, and to do this in a forceful, competitive way.
Combat excitement
On the other hand, Mars may represent our aggressive nature. It is not uncommon for people with Mars in the 7th house to have an aggressive, pugnacious, somewhat confrontational nature. This is very different from the 1st house of Mars, the bearer of which usually just goes ahead in some new unpredictable situations, as if declaring war on the whole world around him, but doing it in such a way that it only affects him. A red planet in the 7th house, especially when not properly balanced, can give its wearer the habit of attacking other people.
House of Mirrors
And it is in this position that the seventh house becomes the house of mirrors. Since planets in this house often require other people to give them the same planetary energy, the responsibility for any given situation can always be shifted to another person. Nowhere is this more evident than in the case of Mars, since it is this planet that provokes struggle and conflict. Thus, a person with this placement can sincerely believe that in all conflict situations it is not he who is to blame, but others. However, they may also not realize that their aggressive behavior is what turns on those around them, provoking them to fight. Of course, this creates great difficulties. Mars in the 7th house of a man gives rise to a typical bully from a neighboring street, a school bully and a fighter. However, this is not a hopeless placement.
Dynamic spirit
Mars in the 7th house of a woman creates a situation where you can depend on the aggressiveness of others to be aggressive yourself. That is, you will be drawn to typical dominant males, from whose control you will constantly break out, in order to then fall under it again. Being in a passive, inactive and non-competitive company can really stifle the expression of your dynamic spirit. You are inspired by the expression of an alien Mars, allowing your Mars to come out of the shadows. However, you feel quite depressed around those who do not suit you. Mars in the 7th house in a woman gives her owners the habit of judging people by how strong they are. Such women usually complain of chronic deficiencystrong men in society, because they really need a strong male shoulder, but not in order to lean on him and live the passive life of the keeper of the hearth, but in order to always have someone to fight with.
Flaws and advice from astrologers
As with Saturn in the seventh house, a person with Mars in this house can sometimes feel lost and unmotivated without a strong, driven person by their side. By itself, the carrier of this planet in the seventh house is an active person, but to maintain activity, he needs a kind of stimulus from the outside. If you are one of these people, then you have your own goals, desires and passions. Just follow them to the end and trust that you will attract like-minded people.
The people of Mars hold power over others, which in itself inspires respect. Any individual gifted with the influence of Mars is an ambitious person. You can dominate people with your motivating, exciting energy. Things and people revolve around you at breakneck speed when you are around. In fact, you may not really like to just sit and do nothing, a passive lifestyle is definitely not for you. You love action in its wildest and most primal form. The symbol of Mars is a spear that pierces the surrounding space, and for a reason.
Team player
You can be much more efficient when someone is near you. However, you don't want to be the one doing all the work as a couple. The seventh house is balance, it patronizes exchange in many ways. So,you want someone to be able to work just like you. The symbol of Mars - a shield with a spear pointing upwards - just means struggle, work and military brotherhood. For this reason, you enjoy arguments and even small conflicts in your relationship. But do not go too far! Either way, you don't see the need to treat people in a super-tactful way. Unlike Venus in the 7th house, you are not always interested in pleasing everyone and maintaining a peaceful environment. In any case, you can always make up with a person by doing some common work with him.
Intimate life
Another interesting thing is that Mars also governs sexual desires. How will this affect your personal relationships? When it comes to romance, in particular, if there is no regular sex, you can vomit and toss. You are a very passionate and easily excitable person. But even outside of romance, there is still a certain sexual charge in many of your relationships. If Venus in the 7th house likes to just flirt and sexually tease many of her friends and associates, then you are likely to act much more aggressively and directly. However, this does not mean that you sleep with everything that moves. But if at some point you feel that your sexual needs are not being met, most likely nothing will stop you on the way to satisfying them here and now.
The logic of all this is that you thus strive to satisfy your lust (Mars) as much as possible foranother person's account (7th house). This sounds like an obvious statement. Of course, most people act in a similar way, because this is the essence of any relationship in general. However, your sexual side doesn't feel truly full while enduring prolonged abstinence. Periods of abstinence and even monogamy can be extremely painful for people with Mars in this house. Therefore, when you have the slightest opportunity to satisfy your lust, you most likely use it without any pangs of conscience and doubts, unless the strong influences of Virgo or Scorpio emphasize endurance or self-control in your character. However, Mars is our masculine side. The side that just wants to "get". Thus, Mars in this house constantly needs conflict with someone, including conflict of an erotic nature, otherwise he feels uncomfortable.
Love and relationships
For this reason, love relationships in such people may not be too romantic or sentimental. A hot clash of mutual passion is the best way to start a love affair for Mars in this house, which also affects marriage - the transit of Mars through the 7th house, for example, is the most passionate and "hot" time to get married. Such a wedding is not complete without provocative fights, cheerful conflicts and friendly disputes. But a person with this placement should always remain passionate. That's why these people tend to need strong, persistent, dynamic partners. Relationships must remain exciting and challenging.
Marriage Script
Mars can be considered a harmful planet, it is quite aggressive. When a person with a strong Mars does not understand himself well and does not know how to control himself, he will always direct his aggression to everything that surrounds him. This may also apply when his Mars is in the house of marriage, but this is not always the case. It is worth noting that the spouse of this person is likely to have the same conflict and explosive nature, no matter what aspects of Mars with other planets he will have, so the two of them will not be bored.
And indeed, the owner of Mars in the seventh house will himself look for just such a person as a partner, since he cannot become attached to passive people. Everything that happens after marriage already has a different scenario. A quiet family life will be unknown to two people who have come together under the planet of war in the house of family and marriage, as the seventh house is sometimes described, and they will constantly conflict with each other, but these conflicts, it is worth noting, will only strengthen their relationship, each time inflaming mutual passion. And when lovers realize this peculiarity of theirs, having carefully studied each other's natal charts (or at least reading this article), everything in their life will be fine.
