Kalatra Bhava — marriage, partnership, business alliances, the other
Rahu in the house of partnership brings relationships that break the expected pattern — a foreign partner, a large gap in age, background or community, or a marriage that surprises the family. The attachment is intense and not always steady. Business partnerships are ambitious and require care about who is actually being trusted.
The 7th house is how you meet an equal, governing marriage, partnership, business alliances, the other. Rahu (Rahu) is a shadow planet — amplifying, unbounded, hungry and signifies obsession, foreign things, ambition, illusion; its drive is to want more, to break rules, and to reach past its station.
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 Rahu occupies (see Rahu 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.
