Meghan - 7th House
Here’s the seventh installment of “The Meghan Project”. For once, the word limit is about right!!, but please still let me know what you think is most interesting … (Don’t forget to use the glossary if there are terms that are unfamiliar).
7 Seventh House
The 7th house represents partners, exchange and living in foreign countries. Planets in the 7th house can show the qualities that we undervalue in ourselves and seek out in others. The seventh house in this chart has balanced indications for prosperity and annihilation. It is supported by Jupiter’s manifesting rasi aspect as well as the houselord being exalted, with benefics and in an angle. However there are also rasi aspects from malefic and the houselord is not aspecting its own house and is with an inauspicious lord.
7.1 Person’s Life Experience
Meghan is known to have had 2-3 relationships and one marriage before Prince Harry (Now to Love 2018). These have been scandal-free affairs and small in number when one considers that Meghan has lived her life in the public eye since her 20s and had her own brand website (“The Tig”).
7.2 Sign
The seventh house is taking place in Capricorn. This is an earth sign that is tamasic and artha in nature. Its haunts are described as wilderness, forests, woods and marshes. These are places of natural resources that require effort to access and exploit.
Meghan has had to work hard to find a partner and her history is not filled with a large number of intimate relationships. This could relate to Saturn’s rulership of Capricorn providing a lack of partners and making her relationships serious rather than plentiful. However the partners she has had have been high-status / famous and this reflects Capricorn’s natural rulership of the 10th sign of status.
7.3 Planet
The seventh house of this chart is ruled by Saturn. Saturn is cruel, tamasic, dry and of the air and earth element. It is a karaka for grief and misfortune, hard labour, adversity, discipline, endurance, time and for success through hard work.
As described above (section 7.2), Saturn creates a double indicator for discipline and hard work as both the sign and the planet share these qualities. It could also indicate that Meghan will look for a partner who is hard-working or has been through some hardship. In Prince Harry, she has certainly found someone who has endured grief and misfortune. This may be part of the attraction and fit of this couple.
Saturn is exalted in this chart and the D2, D3 and D4 charts. Saturn performs so well in Libra because, as the natural 7th sign of the zodiac, it helps Saturn focus on helping others. Libra’s cardinal, active and air qualities also keep Saturn moving and taking the initiative which prevents it from getting mired in suffering. Meghan’s chart probably works best when she is helping ease the emotional suffering of others. This may account for her long history of charity work. (Wikipedia 2020)
An exalted planet “can weather the unfavorable Avastha effects coming from being shamed, starved, thirsty, agitated and still come out okay or even ahead.” (Wilhelm n.d.) However, It is worth noting that Saturn is receiving nearly 60 points of aspect from Mars. This can create immense pressure on Saturn to take action and always be improving itself. As Saturn is the 7th lord, this could also spill onto others and the intimate partners. Meghan may perceive that others/partners should be taking action to improve themselves or their happiness and emotional contentment. Meghan shares in the ITV interview that “she’s said to H(arry) that it’s not enough to survive something … you’ve got to thrive, you’ve got to feel happy” (The Telegraph 2019).
7.4 Bhava Yogas
7.4.1 Ascendant Yogas
Saturn forms a natural yoga of the 7th and 8th lords for a Cancer ascendant. This links the partner with the person’s inner psychological world and with sudden changes. It can be important for Cancer ascendants to feel super connected to their partner (the 8th also represents the intimate and conjugal bond) because this helps a Cancer ascendant feel safe and open. That there have been many changes in Meghan’s life since her marriage (Petit 2020) shows the power of this yoga.
7.4.2 7th in the 4th
The 7th lord in the 4th house links the partner with emotional support and can indicate a mate with a successful career. It can also indicate that the person may live in a foreign land or be exiled. Meghan’s partner is from a different country and she has lived and worked in various parts of the world (see section 2.4.1.2 in previous blog post).
