Sun in the seventh house
The Sun in the seventh house finds identity through others. Marriage, partnership, contracts and the open opponent are the mirror in which the self is seen, and people with this placement often come into focus only alongside someone else. Allies and adversaries are both unusually vivid, since the seventh holds the declared enemy as well as the spouse. Cooperation is a talent, and dependence a hazard. The lifelong exercise is to remain a whole person inside the pairing, so the relationship has two centres and not one.
In plain words
The Sun stands for your sense of who you are. This house is the part of your life about partners and close relationships. Here, that shows up in the partners you choose and how you handle a relationship.

Which sign holds it
Under whole-sign houses the rising sign settles every other house at once. If you know your Ascendant, this is the sign your seventh house holds and the planet that rules it.
| Aries rising | Libra · ruled by Venus |
|---|---|
| Taurus rising | Scorpio · ruled by Mars |
| Gemini rising | Sagittarius · ruled by Jupiter |
| Cancer rising | Capricorn · ruled by Saturn |
| Leo rising | Aquarius · ruled by Saturn |
| Virgo rising | Pisces · ruled by Jupiter |
| Libra rising | Aries · ruled by Mars |
| Scorpio rising | Taurus · ruled by Venus |
| Sagittarius rising | Gemini · ruled by Mercury |
| Capricorn rising | Cancer · ruled by Moon |
| Aquarius rising | Leo · ruled by Sun |
| Pisces rising | Virgo · ruled by Mercury |
Quadrant systems such as Placidus cut the houses by the angles instead, so a planet near a cusp can land in a different house from the whole-sign answer. The chart page shows both.
Reading it in context
A keynote is a starting point, not a verdict. What Sun actually does in your seventh house depends on its sign, its aspects, its dignity, and whether it is in sect. Two people with the same placement and different charts around it live it differently.
