Mars and Rahu in the 7th house at a glance
When Mangala + Rahu (Mars + Rahu) share a sign, a yuti, the chart fuses Mars’s energy, courage and the drive to act and Rahu’s obsession, worldly ambition and the pull of illusion, and here all of it works through the 7th house (Yuvati / Kalatra), the house of marriage, the spouse, partnerships and one-to-one relationships (Kendra (angular), Maraka; natural sign Libra).
Each graha in the 7th house
Mangala (Mars) in the 7th houseMalefic

Rahu (Rahu) in the 7th houseMalefic
An unconventional, foreign or unexpected spouse and intense, turbulent partnerships with sudden ups and downs; strong desire but unstable bonds.
Where each is strong or weak by sign:

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mangala (Mars) | Malefic | Aries, Scorpio | Capricorn | Cancer |
