In Vedic astrology, opposition (180° aspect) is often considered challenging.
Every planet naturally aspects the 7th house from its position, creating tension between self and other, origin and destination. But what happens when the lord of a house itself is placed in the 7th from its own house? This placement can bring both loss and transformation, but also balance and unexpected gains depending on dignity, aspects, and strength.
The fundamental tension in all these placements is between the House Lord's
need to protect its sign (the house it rules) and the force of the 7th aspect, which is inherently challenging, confrontational, and consumptive.
The result is never purely good or bad; it creates a Paradoxical
Result depending on the inherent nature of the houses involved and the
dignity of the planet.
The Core Principle
A planet placed in the 7th house from its own sign aspects its own
sign (house) with a 180 ° aspect.
- Positive Effect (Protection): The aspect on its own sign acts as a protective shield, often stabilizing the matters of that house. This is a powerful Raja Yoga (favorable combination) if the house is a Trine (1, 5, 9) or Kendra (1, 4, 7, 10).
- Negative
Effect (Conflict/Consumption): The planet's energy
is consumed by the house it occupies, and the $7^{th}$ aspect
always brings conflict, negotiation, or consumption regarding the
matters of the house it aspects. The life energy is spent dealing with the
opposition.
