Venus in Scorpio: the seventh house for Taurus rising

With this ascendant Scorpio occupies the 7th, which governs marriage, partners and contracts and is an angle (kendra) and a maraka house. Scorpio adds intensity, secrecy and staying power. Since Venus signifies this house by nature, its themes come through strongly. The same lord, Mars, owns the 12th too, tying the two houses together.

Venus in the 7th is natural for marriage: an attractive, affectionate spouse, though over-indulgence or many attractions need balance. By sign, Venus is in a neutral sign, ruled by Mars. It takes its cue more from aspects than from the sign. Venus stays within about 47° of the Sun, so the Sun is in the 7th or within two signs of it; a Venus very close to the Sun is combust and gives its results more quietly.

For Taurus ascendant Venus owns Taurus and Libra, the 1st and 6th houses; under BPHS ch. 34 that makes it benefic (lagna lord). A planet brings the business of the houses it rules into the house it occupies:

• As 1st lord in the 7th: When the lagna lord sits in the 7th, life is lived through partnership. Marriage, business associates and the public mirror the self, and the person often travels or settles away from birthplace.

• As 6th lord in the 7th: The 6th lord in the 7th can bring friction in marriage or partnership, disputes with associates, or a spouse involved in service, health or law.

Why it matters: Venus rules the 1st and 6th for Taurus rising; as lagna lord it protects, though its 6th lordship links the self with work, health and service.
