The 7th house is the house of relationships. It is opposite the 1st house, which is the self. The chart is balanced, as one must balance the self with “the other”. The 7th house is the house of committed relationships, as in marriage. The 5th house is the house of fast romance, or what we call flings. The 7th house deals with the one and only, for life, devotion. It is the house of the husband/wife devoted relationship with all that entails such as devotion and unending loyalty. As such, Pluto messes things up, you could say. Astrologers tell you it is for your own good, and it is, but it still hurts with a terrible pain and angst, as Pluto breaks down our old structures.When Pluto is in the 7th house, one’s marriages or committed partnerships may be tumultuous. They may not break, but they will come close. Pluto threatens to take what we hold dear. It, only, gives it back, if we release it, paradoxically. Pluto in the 7th will teach you lessons of letting go and free falling, but it will be in the realm of relationships.Can one retain one’s committed relationships, if one has Pluto, here? Yes, of course, but the path will be strewn with debris, but it is one’s own ego. One only thinks it is an assault from the outside.
