Mercury in the 7th House
Budha in bhava 7 gives knowledge of the law, like someone who reads the terms before ticking the box.

Mercury in the 7th House, day to day
Budha in house 7 says one simple thing: you care about knowing what is fair. In a relationship, a partnership or a contract, you read the terms before signing. You like agreements to be clear, in writing, with everyone knowing what is expected of them.
In life as a pair, you look for a partner to talk with. Dialogue is your glue, and you put up poorly with the unspoken. You prefer an argument laid out in the open to a heavy silence. This helps you build clear relationships, and sometimes slightly legalistic ones: who does the shopping, who pays for what, who decides on vacations.
At work, you are a good negotiator, a reliable partner for the administrative side. On the other hand, you can stay in analysis instead of letting yourself go with spontaneity.
A tip for living this placement well: keep the sense of the contract for what matters, and leave room for the unexpected in your relationship. Write your partner a tender note for no reason. You will see that affection can also be said in simple words.
The 7th house is about partnership and associations. To read all about Budha, open the Budha guide.
