WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE 7TH HOUSE OF MY HOROSCOPE IS EMPTY
Question Asked : What does an empty 7th house mean in the chart of with details of DOB 18/12/1995 at 15:30 in Faizabad?
My View : In vedic horoscope there are 12 houses / bhavas in a horoscope and so the probability is always there that some of the houses will remain empty. The empty 7th house / bhava in a vedic horoscope need not mean something negative only. No absolutely not.
There are many dictums given in the vedic astrology of reading a vedic horoscope by our ancient great Sages and great scholar astrologers from our modern age.
There are many branches in vedic astrology and different branches of it has its own dictums for the analysis of a vedic horoscope.
Not going deep into all the branches of astrology and getting diverted from the root question, there are different rules to analyze a horoscope. And to analyze the 7th house / bhava are the few rules for understanding when no planets are there in 7th house or empty 7th house :
Analyzing from KP vedic astrology padhatti / system point of view :
1. Identify the cuspal sublord of the 7th house and see where it is placed in the horoscope.
2. Study the placement of the 7th cuspal sublord house from :
a. Rashi / moonsign point of view
b. Placement form lagna / ascendant point of view.
c. Conjunction with other planets
d. Aspect from other planets
3. Study the current mahadasha and identify if the current ruling mahadasha lord signifies the event of 7th house.
4. Study the current transit to see if it supporting the 7th house events.
5. There are few special dictums given for 7th cusp event so one need to check it from that also.
So one see that there is nothing to worry if the 7th house is empty. It need not signify any negative always. Only after a complete analysis one can say about the 7th cusp event be it positive or negative, depends on the horoscope and it will differ from person to person.
Let’s analyze the horoscope of the native in question :
The 7th cuspal sublord is ketu and its signifying 7,8,9,11 and 12th house in the planet level, mercury signifying 2,3,6 and 8th house in the nakshatra level and Saturn strongly signifying 10 and 11th house in the sublord level.
Mercury is in conjunction with mars signifying 7 and 8th house.
The current ruling mahadasha is Saturn and its strongly signifying 10 and 11th house in the planet level, Jupiter signifying 7,8,9 and 12th house in the nakshatra level and mercury signifying 2,3,6 and 8th house in the sublord level.
Jupiter is in conjunction with sun signifying 5 and 7th house.
Mercury is in conjunction with mars signifying 7 and 8th house.
In the case of the native in question, after studying the empty 7th house I conclude that the native will have unhappy married life with lots of differences of opinions with his spouse and if it is not taken care then it will lead to separation which the native should take a note.
Let me tell again to the readers that not all empty 7th house will have same result as analyzed above, it could be very very good also, it all depends on the placements of the planets as explained in this article.
