Sun, Mercury and Venus in the 7th house at a glance
When Surya + Budha + Shukra (Sun + Mercury + Venus) share a sign, a yuti, the chart fuses Sun’s the soul, authority and vital life-force, Mercury’s intellect, speech and commerce and Venus’s love, beauty and the pleasures of life, 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).
