Rahu in the 7th house in Lal Kitab
Rahu in the house of marriage: an unusual partner or partnership, steadied by honesty and patience.
Needs careWhat Lal Kitab says
The 7th house belongs to Venus, Rahu's enemy, and to Mercury, its friend, and Lal Kitab asks for care. Partners or partnerships may be unusual, from a different background or abroad, and misunderstandings can grow out of nothing. The book's remedies ask for honesty in the household and patience before committing.
Why Rahu behaves this way here
The 7th house belongs to Venus (an enemy's house) and Mercury (a friend's house), so Rahu is a guest here. Its own house is the 12th.
It is on good terms with one owner and at odds with the other, so the result is mixed and depends on the planets around it.
House owner: Venus, MercuryRahu's own house: 12th
What the classical texts add
Rahu in the 7th magnifies the pull toward the other: intense fascination with partners and alliances, often unconventional, cross-cultural, or larger-than-life. Partnership becomes a primary arena of growth once projection is replaced by clear seeing.
Classical consensus (BPHS, Jataka Parijata). This is one of the classical rules HeyKundli's engine checks against every chart.
