In an older source

The 7th house is known as Jamitra.

The Brihat Jataka of Varaha Mihira, tr. N. Chidambaram Iyer (1885)

About this entry

The seventh house stands directly opposite the Lagna, at the western horizon, and it is the third of the four angles. Iyer's Brihat Jataka list assigns it wife, generosity and respect, and the book gives it the names Manmatha (desire), Dyuna and Jamitra. The Sanskrit verse 1.16 of the Brihajjatakam, as typed on Wikisource from an edition no one has identified, reads Chittottha for this place where Iyer's English reads Manmatha.

Every planet looks at the seventh house from where it stands with a full sight. The book says Saturn gains strength in the west, which is the seventh sign, and the many-footed sign, Scorpio, is strong when it falls here. The Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra in typed Sanskrit, edition not identified, speaks of the wife, travel by road and trade.

In the calculator the seventh house is the sign opposite the Lagna sign.
