The Sun in the Seventh House of the Relocation Chart

Nothing ever happens to a person that is not already written in their natal chart. Yet, there is always a desire to adjust one’s fate—by celebrating the Solar Return in a new location or moving to a place where the Sun, the main generator of energy in the horoscope, finds itself in a more advantageous position. The Sun will not change signs, but, for example, its weak and subordinate status in Aquarius in the Sixth House can be transformed into a successful and productive partnership in the Seventh House. This is because, when relocating, the house cusps shift.

The Sun in the Seventh House shifts the focus toward interaction with others and can even save the native from loneliness, especially if it was previously impossible to form a marriage or start a family in the previous location. However, if there are tense aspects, the situation may reverse: the native will have to fight for the object of their affection, or the move could trigger divorce or legal disputes.

Features of the Sun’s Transition into the Seventh House in the Relocation Chart

Building a relocation chart is not that simple. The birth time must be converted to Greenwich Mean Time and then adjusted for the time zone difference at the year of birth. However, if everything is done correctly, it is possible to create a fairly accurate picture of future events in the new location.

Most often, the Sun moves into the Seventh House from the neighboring Sixth or Eighth, and this gives a particular flavor to the process. House cusps shift clockwise if the native moves east, or counterclockwise if moving west. The latter is considered the beginning of a second youth and brings a surge of energy, while in other cases, adaptation tends to be smoother.

A transition from the Sixth House already has a positive effect on the native and opens up new opportunities. The person still serves others, but now from a more elevated position: offering advice, consulting, enlightening.

Now, the native is no longer the one who asks and obeys, but the one whom others approach for experience and wisdom. There is a chance to move from employment into one’s own business, even if structured as a partnership. For singles, the focus may shift from career to building a family.

The transition of the Sun from the Eighth House to the Seventh will bring relief only if there are favorable aspects. The natal position implies growth through crisis, managing large sums of money, or involvement in esoteric fields.

Accordingly, the best option is to consult people who are under stress or have financial concerns. Otherwise, crises may arise in marriage, and the native will have to manifest the best qualities of their solar nature in order to reach the highest expression of their sign.

The Sun in the Seventh House of Relocation and Relationships

Personal life and the desire to create a family are the dominant themes for this solar placement. On the one hand, if the Sun is dignified—by sign, exaltation, or favorable aspects—all conditions for this are present.

Indeed, it becomes easier for the native to meet a life partner, and usually, active proposals come from the opposite sex—even if the native is male. For women, it often means having a wide choice of suitors.

However, with a weakly positioned Sun and tense aspects, the native may become a hostage to circumstances: for example, desiring a marriage for love but ultimately choosing someone suitable and pleasant, but without true passion.

The Sun in the Seventh House is, by definition, a weak position, where partners act as karmic teachers. It is beneficial if other planets symbolizing happiness—Venus, Jupiter—are also located here; in that case, an abundance of worthy potential partners is guaranteed.

When Mars or Saturn is present in the same house, falling for a karmic partner is likely. The native may realize they are not truly compatible—differences in upbringing, religion, worldview, or social class may be present—yet the attraction is so strong that it is hard to imagine being apart.

This kind of attraction is especially common among women who had a dominant, authoritarian father.

If the Sun moves into the Seventh House of the relocation chart from the Sixth, the risk of entering codependent relationships increases, as the natal chart already indicates service through submission.

If there is a conjunction with the North or South Node, karmic integration of relationships with an authoritarian partner is likely: the native will need to defend their values and right to self-realization.

If the natal Sun was in the Eighth House, the native may find peaceful, stable relationships boring. They crave emotional intensity and drama, which hypothetically could draw them into a relationship with an abuser.

Working through relationship problems should be done via equal business partnerships if the natal Sun is in the Sixth House, and through shared adventures, travel, or extreme sports if the Sun was in the Eighth—adding excitement while avoiding emotional conflict.

Negative Effects of the Sun in the Seventh House of Relocation

Before relocating, it is important to study the natal chart. If the Sun already has many negative connections with other planets, and relocation forms a tense aspect to the cusp of the Seventh House, such a move is advisable only if there is a direct threat to life (for example, if the Sun is in the Eighth House and strong, positive relationships already exist). Otherwise, problems and destructive influences are likely to manifest through partners, including in the native’s personal life.

The best-case scenario is if the person has a business that does not need to be started from scratch, and a reliable partner. In this case, life-threatening circumstances from the Eighth House will manifest as minor professional conflicts or quarrels with friends.

If a debilitated Sun is in the natal Sixth House, the main battleground for ego and self-realization will be at work. Here, karmic enemies and dependence on the will of a superior are likely to manifest. Therefore, it is not advisable to marry someone of higher status who is inclined to dominate and impose their will from the outset.
