Sun in 7th House

I have this placement and have talked with others with the Sun here, and they do have some concern about shining individually and being noticed for creative efforts. The seventh house rules "projection" and those with the Sun in the 7th house, in the early part of their lives, tend to give that solar power away to others. Although destiny involves 'others' in some capacity, the need for self-development is vitally important, and the need to relate to others is extremely strong and this person may live for total commitment to a partner. The Sun above the horizon represents cooperative relationships and identity, purpose and destiny is discovered in the seventh house. This position can indicate someone who is constantly involved with people, this can be in areas like social work, public relations and counselling. However, those with Sun in the seventh house must learn to value the development of their own creative expression and not ’give away’ that power. Problems arise for these types when they choose a partner who is important and notable in some way, and who raises their public profile. Some need social prestige and community authority so that their mark on society is made. The power of social influence is important and they are often able to share unique insights into human relationships.

All relationships work best when there is equality and shared focus on achieving individual goals. It is also likely that, success comes through partnerships, after all, the seventh house is where we seek to reinforce our sense of self. At worst, those with the Sun here need others in order to feel whole and complete. Often the identity is weak in the first half of life and in later years they recognise the importance of developing as an individual.

Jung had the Sun placed at the Descendent in his birth chart. This means that he found his sense of meaning in life through working for the welfare of others. The Descendant of 7th house cusp symbolizes ones interaction with others, and many people involved with teaching and healing have this placement. Freud also had it. On a deeper level the Sun in the 7th house means that one’s individual creative efforts may have a powerful effect on others. There may also be the need to found some school, group or organization to carry the “message” or ideas to a larger audience. The 7th house is a rather public house, and people with the Sun placed here do not tend to hide their light under the proverbial bushel” - By Liz Greene, Nostradamus the Millennium and Beyond

A person with Sun in the 7th house often gains public support and recognition and they can serve the public with great dedication. Typically, the individual needs to be involved with people to fulfill their purpose.

7th house Suns usually start off looking for the light in a partner. Then something goes wrong, and they have to recognise that, even if others are the most important thing in their lives, they must find purpose within. They cannot go cap in hand begging the partner to give them their sense of meaning and worth. The Sun needs to shine and give generously, but it must first discover an inner, individual light. The light can’t be borrowed. An 11th house Sun cannot go the group and say, “Love me. Validate me. Make me feel I have a reason to be alive.” It must create its own light and then offer it to the group. At certain points in life there is usually a terrible struggle around the house in which the Sun is placed, when we realise that we have to do it ourselves. As I mentioned earlier, Apollo is a lonely god.” - Apollo’s chariot
