Quick answer
Sun in the 7th House activates spouse, marriage, business partners through the nature of Sun — a malefic graha signifying soul, father, authority. The 7th House is classified as kendra: angular / kendra — axis opposite lagna. The natural karaka of this house is Venus (male chart) / Jupiter (female chart), so pairing their analysis is important.
