Moon in the 7th house
The Moon in the seventh gives an attractive, emotionally responsive partner and a strong need for companionship — this person does not do well alone. Public dealings go smoothly because the mind naturally mirrors whoever is opposite. The risk is dependence, and a mood that follows the partner’s.

It depends on your ascendant
The same placement reads differently from each of the twelve ascendants, because the 7th house is a different sign for each — and Moon is exalted in one sign and debilitated in another. This table is computed from the classical rulership and dignity tables, not written by hand.
| Ascendant | 7th house sign | Sign lord | Moon’s dignity | Moon rules |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aries | Libra | Venus | Neutral | 4th |
| Taurus | Scorpio | Mars | Debilitated | 3rd |
| Gemini | Sagittarius | Jupiter | Neutral | 2nd |
| Cancer | Capricorn | Saturn | Neutral | 1st |
| Leo | Aquarius | Saturn | Neutral | 12th |
| Virgo | Pisces | Jupiter | Neutral | 11th |
| Libra | Aries | Mars | Neutral | 10th |
| Scorpio | Taurus | Venus | Exalted | 9th |
| Sagittarius | Gemini | Mercury | Friend’s sign | 8th |
| Capricorn | Cancer | Moon(own house) | Own sign | 7th |
| Aquarius | Leo | Sun | Friend’s sign | 6th |
| Pisces | Virgo | Mercury | Friend’s sign | 5th |
Strongest from Scorpio — Moon is exalted in Taurus. Weakest from Taurus, where it falls in Scorpio.
What it aspects from here
From the 7th house, Moon aspects the 1st houses. Every planet aspects the 7th house from itself; this planet has no special aspects. An aspect carries the planet's nature into those houses, so a placement is never confined to the house it sits in.
The 7th house
The seventh is the house directly opposite the self: the other person, and everything negotiated with them. Marriage, business partnership and public dealing all sit here. It is also a maraka house, which is why the classical texts read it with more care than a modern reader expects.
Karaka: Venus · Signifies: spouse and marriage; business partnership and contracts; public dealings and open enemies; passion and desire
Moon as a planet
Chandra is the manokaraka — the mind. He rules the mother, the emotions, memory, the public and everything that fluctuates. His nature is variable by definition: waxing he is a full benefic, waning a malefic. Because he moves fastest of all, the Moon is the most sensitive indicator in the chart and the basis of the rashi system.
Nature: Variable · Karaka of: the mind, the mother and emotional life · Day: Monday
