Ruler of the 7th House Conjunct Venus: Love Under Contract
The ruler of the 7th house conjunct Venus shapes marriage and partnership around attraction, pleasure and harmony: charming partners, diplomacy, complacency.
When the ruler of the 7th house is conjunct Venus, a person's partnership life merges with the search for love, beauty and harmony. Venus is the natural significator of the 7th house, so this conjunction suggests that marriage and collaboration will hold a pleasant and decisive place in the native's life. Venus is also the planet of values and money.
How does a 7th house ruler conjunct Venus shape marriage?
Someone with this placement is drawn to graceful, aesthetically sensitive or socially well-liked partners. A relationship is an art form to them: remembering birthdays, furnishing the home together, surprising a partner with a lovely evening. Partnerships can also bring financial gain, and working with a partner in design, fashion, art, beauty or diplomacy feels natural.
The native knows how to avoid conflict and how to mediate. Bringing two sides to the same table and finding a middle path everyone can live with is one of their talents.
Giving yourself up for the sake of peace
The shadow side is suppressing one's own wishes to keep the peace. The person may accept a deal just to avoid unpleasantness, or keep quiet about dissatisfaction in the relationship. Ignoring problems for the sake of comfort is also possible. Being able to say no gives the beauty of Venus a solid spine.
Because Venus also rules the houses where Taurus and Libra begin, those areas, perhaps money or health routines, get weighed together with partnership.
