Summary · Quick answer
Sun in the 7th house directs the entire solar identity toward partnership — creating powerful marriages, business collaborations, and a self that is fully realized only through genuine relationship.
This article provides sourced context; it is not a personal prediction or medical advice.
The Sun in the house of partnership
The 7th house governs marriage, business partnerships, open enemies, and public dealings. The Sun placed here is in its most relationship-oriented position. Rather than the self-contained authority of Sun-1st, Sun in the 7th directs solar energy outward toward encounter with the other. Identity is formed and expressed through partnership; the native often feels most fully themselves when in the context of a significant relationship, whether personal or professional. This creates exceptional partnership capacity — and a genuine developmental challenge around building an identity that doesn't depend entirely on another's recognition.
This plays out differently in every chart.

Sun in the 7th attracts partners who carry solar qualities: authoritative, charismatic, leadership-oriented, or with their own strong sense of identity. The spouse tends to be a person of substance and often of some social visibility. The marriage relationship is central to the native's life in a way that is not true for everyone — it is a domain of genuine investment, high expectations, and deep satisfaction when it works. When it doesn't, the impact on the native's overall wellbeing is significant, because so much of the identity is bound up in the partnership context.
Business partnership and the collaborative creator
Beyond marriage, Sun in the 7th creates a strong orientation toward business partnership. These individuals often achieve more through collaboration than solo effort — they need a partner who complements their strengths and challenges their blind spots. The most successful professional arrangements tend to be partnerships where both parties bring genuine authority and the relationship creates something neither could achieve alone. Legal partnerships, co-founded companies, and creative collaborations are all natural domains for Sun-7th expression.

Public dealings, negotiation, and the diplomatic solar
The 7th house also governs public dealings and legal matters. Sun here creates individuals who are visible in public-facing roles: they represent their organization to the outside world, handle the interface with clients and the public, and often become known in their professional community precisely through the quality of their interpersonal dealings. They tend to be effective negotiators because they bring genuine authority to the table while also understanding the other party — their solar energy is projected outward with diplomatic awareness rather than mere assertion.
Identity through relationship and the path toward self
The developmental challenge of Sun in the 7th is building a stable individual identity that exists independently of relationship. Because the solar energy is directed so fully toward partnership, these individuals can lose themselves in relationships — defining themselves through the partner, accommodating the partner's identity at the expense of their own, or feeling directionless between significant partnerships. The spiritual task is discovering that the self does not require another to exist, and that the strength of the partnership is enhanced rather than threatened by the solidity of the individual selves within it.
