How does the 7th lord in the 4th house affect marriage?

It shifts the centre of gravity from a public commitment to a shared household. Compatibility usually shows itself once two people live together, split chores and deal with each other's families, so decisions about buying, renovating or living with elders move in step with the relationship itself. The placement is fixed from birth, and whether it reads as settled or confined depends on the dignity of the ruler and the condition of the 4th house.

Should someone with the 7th lord in the 4th house live with a partner?

It suits them, provided the rules of the household are agreed first. In this placement chores, shared costs and how often each family visits are what quietly build resentment, and those are exactly the items that can be written down. Settling the boundaries and the money before the emotional questions usually works better than the reverse.

Closeness gets tested by where you live and how the household is arranged, more than by what either side promises. Before moving in together, renovating, or bringing someone into family gatherings, list who pays for what and where the lines sit.

In detail

The 7th lord in the 4th house is formed when the ruler of the sign on the 7th house occupies the 4th in the birth chart, and it holds for life rather than for any stretch of dates. The 4th house governs dwelling, land, the family base and the mother's line; the 7th governs the counterpart and open agreements. With the ruler placed there, the proving ground of partnership becomes the home itself: a bond counts once two people can share a roof and be absorbed into the household, not once a promise has been made in public. Two threads usually follow. Choosing a partner and settling a home move on the same clock, and domestic labour or property share becomes the hardest negotiation in the relationship. Set against the same ruler in the 10th house, which places the counterpart in public view, this version places them in the inner rooms. Whether that domestic binding feels stable or confining depends on the dignity of the ruler.
