What does the 2nd House Lord in 7th House mean?

When the planet that rules over the natal 2nd house is located in the 7th house, it means to have the 2nd lord in the 7th house.

As a general effect of this combination, the significations of the 2nd house, such as accumulated wealth, assets, values, self-worth, family values & traditions, mental resources & talents, speech, vision, etc are influenced by the themes of 7th Vedic house, such as associations, marriage, spouse or life partner, all kinds of partnerships, venture partners, marketplaces, trading, entrepreneurship, as well as, balance, peace, harmony, compassion, compromise, equity, justice, society, societal norms, etc.

According to BPHS, 2nd house ruler in Kendra or Trikona indicates that well-being is improved via financial support. From this perspective, the given combination is generally auspicious because the 7th house is a favorable Kendra or quadrant house that signifies all kinds of monetary and social support in life.

On the other hand, the 2nd house ruler in the 7th house is in 6th place from its own sign. Herein the 6th disposition refers to the 6th Vedic house which is all about difficulties, challenges, and opposition as it belongs to the Dusthana Bhava house group.

According to various classics, difficult effects are prominent with a natural malefic planet (Sun, Mars, Saturn, Rahu, Ketu) in the 7th while positive effects are dominant with other planets related to the same house. So this combination hides mixed results which we shall discover in this article.

Results of 2nd House Lord in 7th House

Wealth Via Partnerships

The globally most known topic of the 2nd Vedic house is wealth. That is correct because the 2nd house is named Dhana Bhava which stands for wealth literally.

To understand the general condition of the wealth foundation, it is important to analyze the 2nd house and the positioning of its ruler in various houses.

Speaking of which, the positioning of it in the 7th house indicates that wealth is highly related to 7th house matters, such as partnerships.

The general meaning of it is that the growth of wealth is especially prominent in partnership ventures, which is the refined significance of the 7th Vedic house.

According to this, natives with this combination value all kinds of contacts and associations a lot which gives the urge to form fruitful partnerships.

This gives a great opportunity for various joint ventures to be formed through which lots of wealth gains are indicated eventually.

Because of the auspicious effect of the 7th Kendra house, the native will have lots of support from society, partners from joint ventures, and spouses which allows for healthy expansion of the financial foundation.

Indeed, joining powers and forming associations can help build great things. This fact is also hidden in the linkages between Vedic houses. Namely, the 7th is the power ingredient for all other very powerful quadrants, which are the 1st, 4th, and 10th Vedic houses.

The 10th place from the 10th house is the 7th house itself reflecting that partnerships will unite rivers and drops of water to form an ocean (metaphor). More specifically, all the efforts of participants joining will help make a real difference, which must serve the masses and promote good actions or karma, which is the primary carrier of the 10th Vedic house.

Hence, it is always important to bear in mind to choose to be surrounded by people who carry pious intentions and ideas inspired by righteousness for those will eventually build great ventures that make a positive difference in the world.

Otherwise, there will be degradation of all quadrant houses, which carry all the supportive matters one needs to fulfill their duty on earth.

Without fulfilled duties, it is hard to prosper and become more spiritual and achieve the ultimate goal of every soul, which is to achieve salvation and reunite with one and only almighty God. There is no God but he, the creator of everything, for He is the protector over all things and the best of providers {Religious Verse}.

The dignity of the 2nd house ruler in the 7th house helps to determine whether one is influenced by fruitful intent or not.

One of the greatest examples is from Aries Ascendant whose 2nd house ruler Venus is dignified in its own sign 7th house. The fact that Venus is naturally benefic and dignified in its own house makes it one of the best-case scenarios for the formation of this combination.

According to classical sources, Libra Venus natives are prosperous because of their courage to support good people and devotion to righteousness and God. They attain lots of wealth and glory because of their devotion to righteousness.

A prominent sign of righteousness is the willingness to show mercy and kindness to fellow human beings, social members, and venture partners which is indicated in the classical sources.

This means that everything the native gains is directly from God for their devotion to truth, righteousness, and courage. That is why courage is a virtue because it gives the ability to protect the good no matter how hard it gets.

What amplifies auspiciousness is the fact that a natural benefic casts a direct aspect upon the 1st house Aries increasing eagerness to initiate fruitful ventures that carry pious intent making them highly prosperous in the long run.

What is interesting is that both Aries and Libra are of cardinal modality which represents leadership capabilities and willingness to take action and initiate important processes. Hence, these natives are great initiators of auspicious processes yielding great results for their companions, society, and themselves as well.

Another even greater instance comes from Virgo Ascendant, whose 2nd house ruler Venus is exalted in the 7th house Pisces. This instance shows a person who is less straightforward but very selfless which allows them to perform pious deeds which help them to come close to the almighty God and attain all the necessary blessings.

The exaltation shows great dignity and pure will to perform selfless acts of service continually which is the best kind of charity. Such acts attract tremendous blessings and protection, which means that they do not even need to harness strictness in most cases.

What is more, Pisces is ruled by the planet of righteousness, religion, and fortune Jupiter which shows that these natives are highly fortunate because of increased spiritual devotion to righteousness and religious truth.

For the same reason, in the classics, it is mentioned that these natives have the best virtuous qualities (Jupiter) and overcome all adversities. The way of destroying enemies is through kindness and truth. In other words, God protects them.

Teamwork Makes Dream Work

The 6th disposition between the 2nd and 7th house belongs to the triangle of wealth named Artha Trikona in Vedic. The 2nd house also belongs to the same triangle.

Hence, the double energies of wealth houses clearly show the gain of wealth through supportive factors of the 7th house topics, especially during the planetary periods of the 2nd house ruler, when the effects are activated maximally. During this period, the natives might make important agreements which is a solid foundation for future growth and expansion of both fame and wealth.

The 6th Vedic house also signifies discipline and teamwork required to achieve the fulfillment of common goals and highest aspirations. To explain it, the 6th place from the 6th house is the 11th house of fulfillment of desires.

If everyone is moving forward together, then success takes care of itself.

Furthermore, the 7th house is all about agreements, compromise, compassion, associations, and collaboration. So the 6th disposition of the 2nd house ruler in the 7th house shows collaboration with true discipline and willingness for hard teamwork at its best.

Hence, these natives highly value teamwork and are thus naturally inclined to establish a well-functioning team where members are well-disciplined regarding the common topic of interest.

It is commonly understood that there are various kinds of groups working on different goals. When analyzing the dignity of the 2nd house ruler from various Ascendant signs, it is possible to understand the direction of effort better.

One of the greatest examples to support this effect is from Libra Ascendant whose 2nd house ruler Mars is dignified in its own sign Aries, while in the 7th house.

First of all, Mars is the planet of courage and leadership the traits of which are best amplified in the 1st sign of Aries, which is all about righteousness. Besides this, Libra is a cardinal sign just like Aries and the aspect of Mars upon 1st house Libra amplifies leadership qualities and valor to a very great extent. Their courage makes them exceptional motivators, leaders, and team guides.

When comparing Aries Ascendant and Libra Ascendant, the results are similar but the way of attaining results is different as Mars reflects a straightforward approach because of being naturally malefic while Venus is gentle.

They empower and inspire others with their unshakable faith in righteousness. Hence, others become motivated to an unimaginable extent making these individuals with Aries Mars true natural leaders who usher in periods of fortune, prosperity, and betterment for everyone. This means that they bring prosperity with their valorous and heroic acts to their collaborators, society, nation, community, and themselves.

Speaking of themselves, they are selfless and sacrificial so they think of everyone else but themselves during the progress. Their selflessness, devotion to righteousness, and sacrificial nature attract divine blessings and protection from the almighty God. More importantly, they are blessed by the almighty God in this life and hereafter in the most beautiful destination.

A team will always appreciate a great individual if he’s willing to sacrifice for the group.

To add a bit of contrast, the next example is Cancer Ascendant whose 2nd house ruler Sun is undignified in the 7th house Capricorn.

According to the classics, that undignified state of the planet of truth Sun shows a tendency to prosper using base acts. Capricorn is of cardinal modality and damaged Sun in it shows willingness and impudence to initiate bad movements via unethical acts.

When it comes to coworkers, associates, and teammates, selfish acts cause the destruction of morale which causes degradation of the whole team eventually leading to unfulfilled goals and desires.

It means, people who are in high and responsible positions, if they go against righteousness, righteousness itself will get transformed into a destroyer.

Knowledge and lack of ignorance help to avoid disasters from happening no matter what the planetary combination. Hence, to avoid those mistakes that can trigger a chain of bad events, it is vital to protect oneself from initiating a bad chain of actions in the first place.

Anything bad that happens to you is a consequence of your own deeds, and God overlooks many (of your sins).

Surat Ash-Shuraa [42:30]

The best remedy for bad tendencies is to become religiously or spiritually more disciplined. Increased faith decreases bad tendencies by increasing the desire for doing good, or at least becoming neutral by not indulging in bad deeds.

Mentality Of Peace

Previously there was mentioned that the 7th is the powerhouse for all other supportive quadrant Kendra houses, one of which we come back to is the 4th house. The linkage comes from the fact that the 4th place from the 4th house is the very same 7th Vedic house.

Besides mental peace and contentment, the 4th also signifies cultural heritages of nations which are important for the formation of society (7th).

Consequently, this linkage shows that morale and metaphysical connection, such as faith and cultural norms, is what connect people to a healthy society. Herein cultural norms are the basis for the healthy and correct formation of written laws for the functioning of societies in the material plane. Note that written law differs from religious law.

Where there is righteousness in the heart, there is beauty in the character. When there is beauty in the character, there is harmony in the home. When there is harmony in the home, there is order in the nation. When there is order in the nation, there is peace in the world.

A. P. J. Abdul Kalam

The quote shows the power of all quadrant houses. The beauty of the righteous (1st) character refers to the 1st house, harmony in the home and home country is the 4th house, the well-functioning nation is the 7th house, and a well-functioning nation promotes peace in the world because of good inclinations and pious intentions.

Speaking of which, most of the Ascendant signs show righteous inclinations through which the beauty of character is built which is the foundation for every other blessing by Almighty God.

For instance, when it comes to Gemini Ascendant, the 2nd house ruler Moon in the 7th house Sagittarius indicates having a highly auspicious mindset that is driven by ethics, morals, religious wisdom, and righteousness (Sagittarius ruled by Jupiter). This mindset guides actions towards performing pious deeds which will grant the support of God.

Highly Desirable

Some lines from an ancient source called BPHS state that a benefic planet such as Venus in the Yuvati Bhava (7th house) indicates exceedingly high lust for sensual pleasure.

High sensuality is auspicious when it is exhausted morally and inauspicious when it is out of control and pleasure is sought from immoral sources.

Regardless of the planetary combination, every person at some time in life can be a victim of an increased thirst for pleasure. That is because the 7th house belongs to the triangle of desires or Kama Trikona.

Hence, no one born on earth can escape that feeling of lust. However, with increased religious devotion, again, one can protect from the attacks of lustful thoughts and tendencies.

An auspicious desire for pleasure is when a person seeks ways to drive a spark in their current relationship without seeking immoral side pleasures.

So another way to protect from sins caused by lust is to seek ways to exhaust increased desires with lawful partners (some have many legal wives). This helps to protect from committing adultery.

The dignity of the 2nd house ruler can be helpful in determining whether the native strives for the healthy enjoyment of lawful pleasures or not. An undignified 2nd house ruler shows untamed desires leading to mistakes that can cost dearly.

Sensual Life Partner

The sensuality also applies to the life partner because of the fact that the 7th house signifies life partner. This is also proven by the classical text BPHS, which states that one’s partner may have questionable character, probably caused by periodic strikes of lust.

However, this effect is said to come pas only if a natural malefic is the 2nd house ruler or if the benefic 2nd house ruler is conjunct with or aspected by a natural malefic.

Hence, the life partner is inclined towards the enjoyment of various sensual pleasures and the condition of the 2nd lord determines final outcomes.

Accordingly, a well-placed combination ensures that the wife of the native with this combination has good moral conduct regarding pleasures and which increases the spark in marriage via the enjoyment of pleasures mutually and lawfully.

Alternatively, an ill-placed second ruler, especially if conjunct with another malefic, in the seventh house indicates that the life partner may be immoral and chases after various illusions to satisfy never-ending sensual pleasures.

Admiringly Supportive Spouse

Another classical source states that individuals with this combination are of great character and attract partners who bring wealth, comforts, pleasures, and enjoyment into their lives.

As the 2nd house ruler in the 7th house casts a direct aspect upon the 1st house of self, this effect is created and prominent during the planetary period of the 2nd house ruler.

Again, the second astrological house is all about wealth accumulation while the seventh house is about life partnership, marriage, and spouse.

Accordingly, the combination clearly indicates that the accumulation of wealth is strongly supported by the life partner through various activities, be it a family business, investment projects, or any other type of venture.

One thing is clear, with this combination it is indicated that the spouse plays a major role in supporting and building up the financial foundation of the family. The better the dignity of the 2nd house ruler, the better the support and blessings.

Influential Speech

The 2nd house governs the speech and the 7th house is public life, a reflection of oneself to the world. Therefore it is reasonable to discuss the effect of speech in this combination.

Accordingly, with this combination, one possesses a very powerful speech using which one is capable of attracting large audiences and masses.

Not only that but one is also capable of influencing people persuasively using correct speech. In most cases of the formation of this combination, the speech is endowed with the intonation of discipline, justice, and righteousness which makes it transformational and influential in the first place.

Because of such traits along with heroic acts that prove the words behind speech, these natives have the capacity to become famous and well-known in society or even the world as the 10th house is linked with the 7th house.

Moreover, when considering the Bhavat Bhavam effect (from house to house), the speech will be helpful to reach even higher positions in life. It is because the positive public image one create gives massive support and boosts increasing overall social status and rank.

For different descendants, the speech is receiving different intonation. When coming back to Virgo Ascendant natives, for example, the exalted 2nd house ruler Venus reflects highly harmonious, pleasant, delightful, and persuasive speech. Classics state that Pisces Venus natives become renowned for their ability to speak up in full accordance with morality and righteousness.
