Natal Pluto in Seventh House
Pluto in the seventh house can manifest as being attracted to people with a Plutonic personality.
This can be a challenging placement. The aspects of Pluto and the whole chart give more information about how it is likely to play out. Easy aspects can indicate a powerful, strong-willed partner, but with an afflicted Pluto in seventh house, your relationship often has darker themes.

It is important to choose people who have a well-integrated Pluto. If your partner lives the lower octave of Pluto, they can be disagreeable, possessive, jealous.
It is just as important to realize that you do have power and by finding power in yourself, you won’t be a victim anymore. Planets in the seventh house show which parts of yourself you don’t identify with. Pluto here suggests that you don’t feel the power in yourself (or that you can handle it). You tend to unconsciously hand it over to your partners.
The seventh house is also about business partnerships. With a natal Pluto in seventh house, especially if it receives hard aspects, it might be better to do business on your own rather than with a partner.

Especially with hard aspects to Pluto, jealousy and suspicion can be also characteristic of your relationship. There is little trust. The partners can betray each other, sometimes to the extent of traumatic experiences. You are drawn to powerful partners, who can hold you hostage in some way.
