Pluto in House 7

Those with Pluto in House 7 will find that partnerships are the catalyst or agents for personal transformation and change. It is the area of relationships that plunge them into deep emotional complexes, testing the depth of their unions, and building and rebuilding contacts with others. Wherever Pluto is placed in the chart is where we are emotionally wounded, and so when Pluto is placed in the 7th house it is our dealing with others where we find eruptions, blow ups and upheaval. Any problems with a partner will tend to simmer and seethe under the surface, and since Pluto is the planet of extremes, these people are learning to relate in a balanced and cooperative way. The issue of who holds the power in the relationship is brought into sharp focus, and this may require a complete breakdown and rebuilding of the relationship. Pluto here can indicate power struggles with business partners or those involved in joint projects. The person can also form alliances with powerful people, and these individuals often have a tremendous impact on their future. Relationships will never stay the same and they encounter people with enormous emotion, passion and vulnerability. Often these people believe that they have met their soul mate and that he or she has known this person in former lives. According to past life astrologers the individual has chosen to empower themselves in relationships this lifetime by overcoming the same emotionally abusive relationships that controlled them in a previous life. The person may feel haunted by all past relationships and so resentment, guilt and feelings of persecution at the hands of others needs to be healed. Empowering themselves in relationships is the key to understanding their evolutionary development. Many people with Pluto in the 7th house are here to empower others and make very good counsellors, healers and agents for change. The proclivity for destruction exists in the area of relating and Pluto stirs deep feelings in this house. The potential for treachery, betrayal, secrecy, jealousy, abuse and severe trust issues in relationships may threaten the strength of any bond. The people they get involved with will often mirror back the shadowy parts of themselves that have not been allowed full consciousness.

Pluto in House 7

Pluto in House 7 confers a stronger emphasis on the loyalty and devotion between people in a relationship or contract with one another. The bonds and attachments formed with another person will be stronger under this configuration. Trust and fidelity are of greater concern and may become a source of paranoia and jealousy. When Pluto resides in House 7, it can stimulate a greater desire to exercise control within the relationship. Trust issues can make them overly concerned with what their other half is doing behind their back. These individuals may seek to manage most of the affairs and resources they share with the other person. They can be very perceptive and capable of pinpointing problems and patching the rifts in the relationship. On the other hand, they can be quite Machiavellian when they choose to be. There is a capacity for manipulation when it suits their purposes. They can also be adamant about getting their way and become argumentative. Here now is a look at Pluto in the 7th house and what it means in both the natal chart and as a transit.

Pluto here can have difficulty trusting a partner and feeling safe in a union, and these people are working on exposing all issues within the relationship and healing them. There can be divorce or the loss of a partner through death, and it can become the single obsession of their lives. Similarly, they may fear the loss of a partner and attempt to control and dominate the relationship. There can be difficulty in letting go of a partner, and their own destiny is so tightly wound with him or her that to lose them would feel like a death. Some Pluto in House 7 people have helped a partner through a terminal condition, depression or mental illness and there is usually a fated feeling about relationships. The partner is sometimes emotionally troubled and involved in criminal and underground activities. Conversely, the partner has a Plutonian vocation, and perhaps they work in the police force, psychology, or healing practices. With Pluto in House 7, power struggles in close personal relationships are themes. This can play out in a variety of ways. You might simultaneously fear and desire complete absorption in a close one-to-one relationship. You might find yourself both drawn to and resistant of close partnerships, fearing loss of control over your own life. You might be drawn to people who are intense, jealous, possessive, or obsessive, or possibly who you feel are powerful. On the other hand, your own resistance can bring out control issues in a partner, who fears the loss of you or your betrayal. In fact, you might bring out the "worst" in others by your relationship behaviour - you tend to be the catalyst for others to discover their more primal instincts and fears. Never underestimate your role in this interplay, and don’t make the mistake of thinking that you are simply a victim. You also discover your own power through your relationships, and this may or may not be comfortable. How you deal with it determines outcomes. You might feel trapped in a difficult relationship, or have a hard time finding the deep connection that you crave. Obsession in your interactions with partners can be a big theme in your life. Watch that you don’t project your own urge for control onto your partner. Strive to come to terms with your own intense and deep-seated fear of losing someone you love and fear of betrayal, or you will meet these energies repeatedly in your closest relationships.

Pluto in House 7 put a strong emphasis in loyalty

If there is one thing you need to know about planets in the 7th house, is that, more often than not, planets located in this house are energies that we tend to project on other people. When born with Pluto in House 7, the Plutonic energy tend to be disowned, and projected unto others. Typically, we find someone who doesn't feel like they have a lot of power, can feel helpless, or simply "innocent", but repeatedly enter relationships with people who embody darker energies. If this energy is entirely projected, then we'll find someone who repeatedly have relationships where they are submissive, dominated, controlled by their partner. Relationships are very often based on power struggle and push and pull, which can be passionate and intense surely, but also draining and often unhealthy. Sometimes, the person becomes tired and exhausted, and decides to abstain from relationships altogether, but the energy will find a way to sneak back in one way or another. Sometimes, the person is able to integrate this energy and this is for sure the best case scenario. Pluto in the 7th house means that we tend to project our Pluto energy on relationships, but if you're able to own it regardless, it is much easier to make good use of it. Pluto represents our darker energies, our impulses to destroy, control, and gain power. If you can own this energy, it is easier to make a conscious choice to use it for higher purposes and consciously choose not to control, manipulate your partners. Pluto in the 7th house is learning how to have soul bonding relationships, filled with devotion and passion, intimacy and powerful love, without falling in the trap of power-based relationships, unequal relationships, and lower energies of control, jealousy, and possession. The power struggles are a component of pretty much any romantic relationship, but with Pluto in the 7th House - this is particularly potent. I definitely recommend reading "Getting the Love you want" on this subject. You have to remember that Pluto is all about compulsive desire and repulsions, and with Pluto in the house of relationships, the person is driven to be transformed by their relationships with others, yet, are very keen to remain just as is.  More than just romantic relationships though, Pluto in the 7th House has a strong attraction to entering all sorts of relationships and interactions with others, as by comparing the self to others and discovering other people's features, quirks, habits - it is how this Pluto finds a sense of self. 

Challenging their own identity. There will always be conflicts with them. Whether it’s caused by their incessant rambling and tendency to criticize and annoy the hell out of anyone or their fear to be controlled, it’s going to spark arguments. Pluto in House 7 natives are attracted to action-oriented people, to the aggressive and the unusual, the kind that you never know what they’re going to do. The lack of routine and a revolutionary spirit are the things that intrigue them the most. However, they have a special talent of taking out the most primitive and aggressive part of their partners, driving them crazy. They have a part to play in this whole charade as well. It’s not that they are the eternal victims upon whom everyone lashes out to. They’re the ones who make everything happen with their attitude. It’s because they are afraid of losing that special someone, of being left alone and abandoned. This drives to them to tighten the grip, to take control of the situation and impose their will. This, in turn, wakes up the monster in their partners. The whole gist of the situation here is that they are still unsure of who exactly they are. An identity crisis, the lack of a spiritual basis, of personal principles to have as guidance. They are attempting to discover themselves through relationships and social contact. Through experience and the many failures, they will eventually reach a more mature stage where they know what they want and how to appreciate it. Society and social games are the perfect testing terrain to search for one’s own identity. Involvement in anything too serious could result in serious disappointments and traumatic events if a break-up follows.

Pluto in House 7 look on relationships and romantic contact as being a formative and healing process. They manage to wake up something inside them. Deep emotions, of the kind that they have never felt before, responsibility and understanding, objective perceptions, firmness of character and a tempered personality. There are going to be a couple of conflicts happening from time to time, and since Pluto is associated with the extreme aspect of existence, the problems are going to flare up as well. There will be power struggles especially, conflicts and arguments because both partners are trying to take control. This is a game of cat and mouse, of who gets to take control and who’s subjugated. All their relationships are like this, a dominator-dominated battlefield. It happens through emotional manipulation most of the time when one part plays on the other person’s vulnerabilities and needs. What they have to do is learn how to be calm, patient, just, and treat everyone in an equal manner. It’s a journey toward self-discovery without the need to go to extremes.

Pluto in House 7 can manifest as being attracted to people with a Plutonic personality. This can be a challenging placement. The aspects of Pluto and the whole chart give more information about how it is likely to play out. Easy aspects can indicate a powerful, strong-willed partner, but with an afflicted Pluto in seventh house, your relationship often has darker themes. This placement suggests that you are attracted to what is frequently called a Plutonic personality. Your partner often has Pluto in their first house, or they are a Scorpio rising. Not just your romantic partner and spouse, but also your business partners, even close friends. A natal Pluto in House 7 can indicate a deep fear of bonding. You crave the intimacy of committed relationships, but at the same time, you are often reluctant to go all in. Betrayal and the lack of trust can be major issues here. Sometimes the fear attracts partners who are indeed untrustworthy, and until you figure out why are you attracted to them, this can turn into a repetitive pattern in your life. This placement can even indicate trauma related to committed relationships. This placement requires finding balance in your relationships, especially when it comes to power. With Pluto here, either you hold more power, or your partner does, but it is a great challenge to establish harmony in the relationship. It is important to choose people who have a well-integrated Pluto. If your partner lives the lower octave of Pluto, they can be disagreeable, possessive, and jealous. It is just as important to realize that you do have power and by finding power in yourself, you won’t be a victim any more. Planets in the seventh house show which parts of yourself you don’t identify with. Pluto here suggests that you don’t feel the power in yourself (or that you can handle it). You tend to unconsciously hand it over to your partners. The seventh house is also about business partnerships. With a natal Pluto in seventh house, especially if it receives hard aspects, it might be better to do business on your own rather than with a partner. Besides one-on-one relationships, the seventh house is the house of public relations, too. A well-aspected Pluto in seventh house can be a helpful asset when it comes to working with the public. You have an intuitive understanding of the social undercurrents. This placement can be helpful for people working in marketing, politics, law, but it can also indicate a great psychologists. Pluto here grants an insight into the human nature. With harmonious aspects, you intuitively understand people, and you can capitalize on this in many professions. However, it is important to ‘behave well’ with this placement. Pluto is an unpredictable, erratic planet. Pluto in seventh house can bring your secrets into the light, causing a loss of good reputation. Pluto here indicates the potential for scandals.

Most of the times, Pluto in House 7 natives end up out of control and filled with feelings of inadequacy because of the sadness and past memories that they bring with them. And, again, they’re not going to share them any time soon. Left festering deep down, those wounds are just going to become more harmful with time. To overcome these issues, they need to inspect and investigate these wounds, see them for what they are and try to heal them. If left there, it’s just going to create tension, emotional instability, and grief. Professionally, the seventh house Pluton natives are especially good at taking care of the monetary situation of a company, calculate and create strategies, plan accordingly based on the existent data. However, while these lucrative partnerships are emphasized and work flawlessly, emotional ones are in a bind, unfortunately. Sure, there will be plenty of moments of blissful joy and sensuality that no one will be able to replicate, but those are just the calm before the storm. Pretty soon, ruckus and screwed up arguments will occupy all their time. However, if they manage to temper themselves and become more understanding as a whole, not only will they be better off, but the relationship will experience a flourishing period.
