Venus in the seventh house
Venus in the seventh house sits in the house of its own subject. Partnership is the central pleasure of the life; marriage is wanted early and often works well, and the person has real talent for making another feel met. Fairness and grace govern the approach to conflict, sometimes at the expense of a needed argument. Contracts and alliances tend to prosper. The requirement of the placement is a self that exists outside the pairing, so the harmony is chosen rather than maintained out of fear.

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 Venus 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.
