Sun in Aries in the Seventh House

Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, the sign that symbolizes new beginnings. It connotes quick changes and sudden forks in the road. With your Sun Sign in Aries, your life is marked by arriving at a certain place and then being turned in a new direction. Certainly, one can say your life is adventurous!

As an individual with your Sun in Aries, you gravitate toward the center of action. You are audacious and intent on getting your own way. Since your nature is to express power, you treat opposition as an annoyance to be brushed out of the way. You are a natural leader with your Sun in Aries, who exudes self-confidence. From an early age you feel you are headed for success. Happily, you are also generous about helping others in a crisis. You are an openhearted friend who shares ideas and advice, and likes to pick up the check. You have a quality of assistance. You are not interested in the small or petty. “Go for the best” is your motto. There is nothing faint or half-hearted about a Sun in Aries individual.

Whereas others may be more cautious, having your Sun in Aries, you actually enjoy living on the edge. A touch of recklessness makes you feel alive. The chase is always more thrilling than getting the goal. (As one Aries recently remarked rather insightfully, “Wanting is always better than getting.”) You are willing to take a gamble, follow a dream, set your mind on a goal, and pursue it with irresistible enthusiasm. Your supreme quality of optimism attracts others. Underneath there may lurk insecurity, but no one will ever know about it.

This is not to say you don’t get depressed or moody. But the winter of despair doesn’t last a week with a Sun in Aries. You have an unbreakable optimism. It is true, however, that individual with their Sun in Aries are notorious for taking offense at fancied slights and injuries. Hot tempers and childish tantrums abound, and your threshold of boredom is extremely low. If success is not immediate, you tend to lose interest and go in search of other excitement. As a result, patient, plodding types often get to the head of the class before you do.

Individuals with their Sun in Aries have a well-deserved reputation for not finishing what they have begun. You are very short of patience, and your lack of stick-to-itiveness is your weak spot. Also, you spend your energy in too many different ways. Independence is a keyword. You want to run the whole show. If you can’t, you pull up stakes and look for a situation in which you can show off your style and brilliance. Should you come up against a superior force, you will bend but never break. Your aggressive and combative spirit cannot be broken by anyone—except yourself. One of the pitfalls of having your Sun in Aries is that you’re essentially self-involved. Unless you make an effort to look outward at others and their feelings, you can easily become a spoiled brat.

Having your Sun in Aries, though generally sincere and honest, you will tell a white lie if it seems advantageous. You are not a very adept liar, however; others see right through you. Sometimes you lack tact and diplomacy, but no malice is intended. Sagittarians also lack this quality of tact because they don’t know how to be oblique or roundabout. With you, tactlessness is an impulsive act—a careless expression of your innate force. Too often you speak without thinking and say whatever pops into your mouth, and usually regret your impulsiveness later.

The Inner You with your Sun in Aries

With your Sun in Aries you like to be in charge – you want to control your own projects and plans and not be under anyone else’s thumb. You have an intense drive to succeed and put a lot of pressure on yourself. Inside, you’re filled with nervous energy and worry about how you’re going to handle everything.

The sign position of the Sun indicates how we seek to express ourselves, develop ourselves, fulfill ourselves, and assert our will and power to shape our environment. The house position indicates the area of life in which we choose to focus the energy of our Sun sign and fulfill the purpose which it represents.

Sun in the 7th House

A Sun in the 7th House position suggests duality and opposition, since the Sun (self) is primarily concerned with the other in this house placement. This is not a strong placement for expressing your personality individually, however, your personality can shine when engaging in one-on-one relationships. Potentially, having your Sun in the 7th House, you can feel conflicted about yourself or you may take your self-worth and self-identity too much from other people. The issue you have to face, therefore, is to develop a strong sense of being, independent from others.

As an individual with your Sun in the 7th House, in order to be real in a meaningful relationship, you must be present to yourself. If you develop this strong sense of self, then you can more fully develop that self by engaging in relationships. Whether from a position of strength or a position of dependency, you are likely to spend much energy and attention on relationships with others. Prime relationships (marriage or business partnerships) will be very important in your life but you will tend to see all spheres of life as opportunities to meet and get to know other people.

Having your Sun in the 7th House, you will tend to be concerned with issues involving balance, fairness, and harmony – all important in the conduct of healthy relationships. You may be especially concerned with keeping the proper balance between the needs of yourself and the demands of others. The existence and the quality of your relationships are generally quite important to you. They often become a vehicle through which you can feel alive in your own being.

Insecurities

With your Sun in the 7th House, if you are inwardly insecure, you will likely feel that you have no identity outside of a relationship. You, therefore, place undo importance on this area of your life. You are prone to developing low self-esteem and to seeing your identity merely as a reflection of your partner. Taking your identity from your relationships, you have a tendency to form dependencies on others. This further debilitates your self-esteem, especially if the relationship is not a positive one.

Focus of Your Self-Identity

Having your Sun in the 7th House, you tend to identify yourself in terms of the interpersonal relationships in which you are involved. Your constant involvement with other people generally marks you as a “people person.” It may be difficult for you to see yourself apart from your relationships with others. Without people to relate to, you may feel cast adrift, without a reference point or even worthless. The great danger with having your Sun in the 7th House, is that, rather than identifying yourself as a person who has relationships, you identify yourself merely as the partner in a relationship, becoming an appendage or reflection of your partner.  You may have to strive to create and maintain your own separate identity.  Nevertheless, being in a relationship is generally important in order for you to be able to define yourself and in order for you to feel yourself as who you are. You are likely to feel most like yourself when engaged in interpersonal, one-on-one relationships. Thus, you put much energy into the development of relationships.
