Demystifying Astrology: There Are No Planets In My 7th House, Does This Mean I Will Never Marry?
Astrology for beginners – See all beginner posts
Rule number one in astrology – never make a blanket statement about an aspect or and empty house or anything else you see in a chart. If you do, you’re sure to be made a fool eventually. The 7th house is concerned with partnership and marriage but having no planets there does not mean you will not marry, you have simply got to look at the chart as a whole.
An empty 7th house may reveal a person who is less interested in partnership then a person with a packed 7th house but this is not always the case. For example if the person has a lot of planets in Libra or Taurus (Venus-ruled signs), they are going to favor relationships no matter where those planets fall in the chart.
I could go on and on with the endless scenarios that see a person with no planets in their 7th house marrying and marrying well and happily so the answer is, no. Having no planets in your 7th house does not mean you will not marry.

Elsa, I have no planets in Virgo, which is my 7th house. I can tell you, my interest in relationship and marriage is a lot less than those with 7th houses.
That makes a lot of sense. I’ve an empty 7th (unless the vertex counts) and have always had zero interest in marriage. However I do love men and love and relating, which I guess is down to chart ruler being Venus, in Sag.
That said, I do totally believe in committment, just not necessarily the church/dress thing.
My empty 7th house is more than compensated by Sun, Pluto, Mars and Juno in Libra. My ex, on the otherhand, is a rare (checked this from Astrotheme celebrity list, and there were about 1/4 of them compared to some more common combinations)Libra with Pisces rising. His 7th house is packed with a Libra Sun/Pluto conjunction, Mercury and possibly Scorpio Uranus (it’s on the 8th house cusp, and since the birthtime is approximative, could fall there). It actually took me years to realize that people could, indeed, be in love without going to the same extremes to demostrate it he went or, at least partly, demanded.
Hey I only have Chiron in my 8th house. Does that mean I will never die????
I have two planets there, but my DSC sign is LIBRA.
I also believe if I had different planets there, I wouldn’t have been as hung up on marriage as I was when I was younger. The two planets are Jupiter (late degrees Libra) and Neptune (late degrees Scorpio). I want to merge and grow in a partnership. Someone with Mars and Uranus, for example, in the 7th is going to make their own rules and own demands for marriage, which is way different than what our culture thinks marriage should be about. (Saturn is exalted on Libra and in the 7th house by association!)
i have no planets in the first house and still manage to have a sense of identity 
I have no planets in the fourth, fifth or seventh houses. But I notice that if I look at what ruler that house is in and where it is stationed, and then look at planets aspecting it, it all makes sense, though I still have a lot to learn. But for instance my 7th house is ruled by Taurus/Venus and my 11th house is Venus ruled. I have met all the guys I have dated through friends and they have all been artistic or musical in someway. Also my Venus is in Capricorn and sits in my second house, but my first house is Saturn ruled so I have always been attracted to men who are rather serious and Saturian. Not that I don’t love a great sense of humor (Jupiter in Libra). So as I beginning astrologer this is my interpretation.
Thank you – thank you! I am quite the novice in astrology and was examining some things about my chart last night and felt more than a little freaked out when I realized my 2nd house was empty. My immediate thought – OMG, I will NEVER have any money! Then again, I have a lot of 8th house action and 7th house, too, so I guess maybe the hint is I should marry for money, LOL? That’ll have to be the next time around, too, ’cause I sure as heck very obviously didn’t do THAT right this first time.
I have three planets in my 7th and odds are extremely high I’ll never get married. Anyone want my 7th house planets? I’ll gladly hand them over…
Yes, jenfullmoon, i’ll take your 7th house planets. Want my Venus t-square? or ANYTHING that I’ve got on the eastern side of my chart (which is, well, almost everything)
I have Venus conjunct moon in gemini in 7th house trining Jupiter and opposing Uranus. My 7th house is Taurus.
With my tiny knowledge, I will marry someone who lovely and homely all of sudden.
Also because venus and moon is in Gemini, he will be chatty man.
I’m Scorpio rising with Saturn in 1st house. I’ll be the serious one and he will be airy fairie one. hehe.
I have a 7th house Venus t-square already, moonpluto. Saturn/Venus/Moon T-square, and 7th house Sun/Chiron conjunction. THAT is why I’ll hand them over to other people… they’re all hammered. I am not going to have good (or any?) luck with relationships in this lifetime, apparently.
On a related note, I wanted to share this link. Wish I knew this person’s astrology, ’cause it sounds like 7th house planets.

I need help!
I have an empty 7th house, with the ruler of the 7th house (which is moon in scorpio, cancer descedent) located in the 10th house opposition Saturn in the 4th…I am desperate and already 40 and I hate it so much cause it’s seems as if I am cursed or something plus being a woman. Have read that not only it brings bad luck in love (which is true so far) but it also prevents having babies…
Plase help….
Welcome, spiritwoman. 
If you post this on the boards here, along with your chart, you are sure to get help and feedback.
YAY! I have Venus sign planets in other houses! But an empty 7th house!…Phew! But then again I have already been married.
@dawn: jo. and there you’ve got your story. )
what shape the house ruler is in, what sign, what house, is the ruler being mangled or supported… that is what will tell the story. an empty house just means that there is not someone (read planet) in there bringing along an additional set of issues.
menega, no egg on your face! egg on mine, if anything! I try to keep things going here, even when my energy is low or directed elsewhere. Always, always good so see you around. I remember your kindness from so many years ago.
good thread though. good idea to dig it out because the empty house misconception is such an easy trap. and hey… i always like reading here!
I’m beginning to think you’re psychic, Elsa P. I was just talking to a friend yesterday about her packed 7th house and my empty one.
I have no planets in the 7th house. I have a stellium in Libra. I’m married and have been for 6 years. I had no intention of getting married and it wasn’t something I felt I had to do but I really enjoy having a partner in life.
I have no planets in my 7th house, but it is ruled by Libra, and when Saturn went in to Libra I began a very ‘serious’ relationship. I wondered if that was the influencing factor.
I’m so beginner, I didn’t even know about the misconception about the empty 7th. Oh riiiight, I’m not to relationship yet. But I am running on empty in the 7th too.
I always thought having no planets in any certain house was a good thing.
That ground was neutral, so to speak. A sparkly clean stage.
I thought such a house is influenced by whatever is on either side, in either wing of the stage.
I also thought that house is influenced by what is straight across the zodiac wheel from it, i.e the audience, or the receptor.
That’s how I look at it, anyway.
I have an empty 7th house but I have three planets in Libra. I have been in relationships (casual or committed) since I was 13. I am very independent at the same time, with 4 planets in Aries. In a way, having one major relationship makes it easier for me to have fewer close friends that I have to depend on to meet my needs. Maybe I will never marry but that’s because I don’t believe in it. I don’t think I’ll ever be alone for long. I’ve been with my man for five years.
