The House that Uranus is in shows where you will experience unexpected developments and sudden changes. Here you will experience the most change in your life, but for the purpose of enlightenment. Uranus is about sudden and unusual events. This type of change occurs in unexpected flashes and shocks, here one minute and gone the next, before you even know what hit you (unlike Plutonian-type change, which continues to drag you deeper into the pits of hell long after you've been destroyed). The concerns of this House can potentially turn into a stress factor. You must find ways to turn this tension into positive energy. Because of that, this House indicates the type of activity though which a person expresses his urge toward individuality and freedom. You will be most unique regarding the matters of this House (and also the House ruled by Uranus).

Uranus in 7th House
If you have Uranus in the 7th House, your partnerships are unique or unusual, usually possessing a wonderful rapport or a total lack of understanding. You and/or your partner are generally unconventional and you do things for their shock appeal. Plenty of freedom is desired in the relationship and there may be a lack of desire for commitment. In fact, maybe you search out special situations in your relationships that ensure little commitment. Perhaps you are most attracted to those who are already in relationships or who are otherwise "unavailable".
Because of the uniqueness that exists within your partnerships, it is likely that others will not understand them. You may not understand them yourself. You meet the most interesting and unconventional people in your life.
Any need to control the other person in your relationships will probably lead to disaster. Partner and you will have to find your own comfort level regarding time and attention spent on the other. A lot of elbow room may be required. A relationship in which you feel you are free to grow is one that makes it possible for you to do so. Any limits or constraints placed on the relationship are likely to be met with a certain "hit the road" attitude. Sudden and unexpected turns are likely. Perhaps one person is required to be away from the other for long periods of time. This position may give many long distance, "casual" types of relationships.
You probably seek a partner who provides the thrills and spills for you in your life. A partner who challenges you mentally and emotionally is desired. Your relationships may be lab experiments where you hope to learn who-knows-what. Someone who is inventive, individualistic, creative, original, out-going, eccentric or radical appeals to you. Your partner may possess considerable personal magnetism and occasionally a degree of genius, but eccentricities, erratic tendencies and even fanaticism may be present.
Your approach to marriage may be highly idealistic or utopian and there may be an inclination to favor platonic unions. You want and need your partner to be your friend. Most of your relationships probably started as friendships. On the other hand, there may be a tendency to seek excitement in partnerships and a marked interest in romantic adventures may result in passing infatuations that can cause a rift with the marriage partner.
The greatest threat to marriage may occur when one partner's capacity for self-development expands at a rate greatly in excess of the other's, so that one spouse may no longer be recognizable as the person they were when the marriage took place.
For a successful partnership, you and your partner will need to develop the qualities of tolerance, cooperation, detachment and freedom. Read more about Uranus in the seventh house.
