Kalatra Bhava — marriage, partnership, business alliances, the other
The emotional centre relocates to the partner. This gives genuine warmth in dealing with the public and makes partnership feel necessary rather than optional — a strength in business and a vulnerability in love, since the mood of the relationship becomes the mood of the person. Works well where the partner is steady.
The 7th house is how you meet an equal, governing marriage, partnership, business alliances, the other. Moon (Chandra) is benefic when waxing, weaker when waning and signifies mind, mother, emotions, memory, the public; its drive is to feel safe, to nurture, and to belong.
The 7th is a kendra (angle), one of the four pillars of the chart, where planets act visibly and strongly. Planets in kendras gain Dig Bala (directional strength) depending on which angle they occupy, and their effects are prominent in the life rather than hidden.
Three things modify this placement more than anything else: the sign Moon occupies (see Moon through the signs), the aspects it receives — Jupiter's aspect can rescue a difficult placement and Saturn's can sober an easy one — and the strength of the 7th house lord. Read this as one factor, not a verdict.
