Marriage is a personal choice between two consenting adults who come together and decide to spend their lives with each other. Although it is a commitment which is supposed to last a lifetime, sometimes for different reasons, the commitment of marriage dies a natural death.

The sanctity of marriage depends on the trifecta of love, understanding and trust. When these basic needs are not met, a marriage may end. However, the ending of a marriage is not always a bad thing.

Sometimes, a difficult marriage ends only to pave way for a better future and an improved life. Please note, we hold no judgment for anyone with multiple marriages or for that matter, even no marriage. At the end of the day, the goal is to be happy, and one must strive for mental harmony and contentment.

The practice of horoscope matching is very popular among Hindus all around the world. Still, some marriage fails and leads to a second marriage.

How to study Marriage in Astrology?

Lagna shows the details about your personality in your horoscope. The houses that are associated with Marriage Astrology are as follows:

• The 2nd House
  This is the main house to understand the possibilities for second marriage and the longevity of the spouse as well.
• The 7th House
  This house is the ultimate house for love, marriage, spouse, and sexual unions. So, the placement of this house and the planetary alignment in this house also needs to be seen.
• The importance of Venus and Jupiter
  Venus indicates the nature of love men and women get. For Man, Venus indicates wife and Jupiter indicates the husband for a woman.
  It is very important to check the chance for divorce. Any affliction to the above-said matters shows the challenges in marriage, but always not a divorce.

Conditions for Divorce in your Birth Chart

• If the 7th house has any negative planets in a strong placement, without any positive aspect, it indicates the chances for divorce
• When Venus and Jupiter are in a negative mode without any positive influence, it indicates divorce.
• The houses indicate a difficult marriage are the 6th, 8th, and 12th.
• Any exchange of the lord of the 7th house with these houses can show the signals of divorce, always remember a single powerful aspect can make a lot of change.
• If Venus is damaged in the D1 as well as D9 chart, it also indicates a separation in marriage.

The Chances for Second Marriage: Good or Bad

• The 7th house denotes first marriage. When there is more than one planet in the 7th house, it weakens its position. The multiple planets diminish and ultimately destroy the strength of the 7th
• Multiple planets in any house can give rise to yoga called Sanyas yoga. But that always doesn’t indicate divorce or separation. However, for such people, the long-distance relationship will work.
• The 9th house in your horoscope signifies second marriage. It determines the success or difficulty of the marriage.
• To judge, if a second marriage will yield better results than the first, it is imperative to compare the 7th and the 9th houses of your horoscope.
• Dual signs have a lot of importance in determining a divorce. When your 7th house is a dual sign, then there are higher chances to have a second marriage.

Case Study: 1 Marriage: Shah Rukh Khan

We all know that Shahrukh Khan’s success is much governed by how his wife supports him in his career. In his chart, we can see the seventh house of marriage has a negative planet Saturn.

Saturn in the seventh house is not seen as a great placement. However, Saturn in the Mool trikon sign is known as the most fortunate place for this planet.

Moreover, Jupiter is aspecting the seventh house from the eleventh house, which is gives Shah Rukh a lot of support. He has complex planetary placement in the 7th house, but possibility of divorce can be ruled out.

Case Study: 2nd Marriage: Sanjay Dutt

In his chart, there is a very flexible Moon, and it is in an even sign. Moon is in a dosha called Kema Druma as well. It is aspected by another evil planet Rahu.

Rahu’s influence on the seventh house always shows multiple partners. It necessarily doesn’t have to be a marital relationship. We all know that in his biopic he confessed he has 300 girlfriends.

However, his 9th house must be well placed for he is clearly enjoying the success of his second marriage.

Case Study: Multiple Marriages: Elizabeth Taylor

Ms. Taylor has had seven marriages. This is an example of the seventh lord’s connection with the dual sign. Here the 7th house is ruled by Venus, and it is in a dual sign conjunct with Rahu. The sign which Venus and Rahu are placed in is Sagittarius.

A second marriage indicates another chance at happiness, wed in a marital bliss. With proper compatibility and understanding, all of us deserve a chance at happiness.
