Uranus Transits: 7th House

When Uranus transit’s the 7th house there can be dramatic changes in relationship and sudden making and breaking of partnerships. During this transit a marriage can go through some unsettling changes and divorce is sought. Sometimes the changes are exciting and liberating and it often happens quickly and unexpectedly. Some people experience love at first and get hitched. I fell in love with my partner under Uranus’ transit through the seventh house and we have been together for 6 years. Uranus transits in the 7th house don‘t always mean that relationships are divorce prone or uncooperative at this time.

Perhaps you feel alienated in the relationship and no longer feel a close bond. Maybe others expectations of the relationship/marriage lasting forever are making you feel trapped. Uranus transits usually indicate restlessness and the need for freedom and space. A long-term marriage may experience a bout of frustration and will probably need to be taken to a new level to avoid it becoming stale. A breakthrough in the relationship is another possibility and normal patterns of relating are about to change. Often the people we attract are different and we learn how to relate differently.

The purpose of this transit is to help us gain awareness of limiting patterns in relationships and to breakout of a rut. If you are staying together for the children or because of financial reasons like a mortgage then the transit is likely to be far more challenging. You might find that one of you in the relationship is rebelling against the confines of societal expectations. A normal steady relationship is hard to maintain during this period. I experienced changing routines with my partner and constant shifting. I would feel settled and something else would happen to change the dynamics. A partner may begin behaving differently and shatter security in the relationship.

I wouldn’t worry about acceptable definitions of partnership during this transit and learn how to be more flexible and progressive. The ability to cope with constant flux in the relationship during the seven-year stretch of Uranus’ transit is needed. The time can be spent exploring individual potential. Whatever the scenario a certain amount of detachment and objectivity is helpful. This doesn’t mean cold detachment. A free-spirited attitude to social interactions and expect the unexpected!.
