Uranus in the 7th House ************************************************************** A common effect of Uranus in the house of relationships is the need for independence or an independent marriage. However, many individuals with this placement may find it hard to find someone who is willing to give them the freedom they require. Given this, you may experience a series of broken engagements. Your attitude towards others extends beyond conventional boundaries. Many people form and maintain a relationship because they seek security or are driven by a sense of duty. You would suffer greatly in a rigid partnership for whatever reason it is maintained. Unless a relationship is creative, enthusiastic, open, and honest, you will probably end it and look for something new. If you are in a relationship where your partner cannot accept your internal restlessness or your need for unconventional structures in life, you should try to create an atmosphere in which both of you can openly express your feelings and moods, without the other taking it too seriously. Both of you must realize that each is an individual who needs independence and that neither of you are there solely to fulfill the needs of the other. Maintaining this perception requires a great deal of maturity, and you will probably have your best relationships when you are older and wiser and know yourself better. Hence, some of the lessons for Uranus in the seventh house include learning when to give and receive and stopping comparisons of oneself to others. You must effectively listen to others in order to identify and empathize with the true needs of yourself and others. If necessary, try to purify your motives in all of your activities.
