Introduction : Second Marriage in Astrology
Marriage is a formalised system of coming together of two individuals, two families and their respective relationships which provides for an atmosphere of belonging, love, care, security and social status to a person.
The foundation for a marriage in any religion is mutual trust and support, shouldering of responsibility, love, and care.
Marriages can be an arranged one or love marriage. Mostly, married couples live together for the rest of their lives without getting separated. However, there are marriages which don’t survive for long. This could be due to disagreements between the couple, lack of compatibility, harassment by one partner, or extra-marital affair, resulting in divorce, or sudden and unfortunate demise of the spouse early on.
In such scenarios, second marriages do happen, though not in every single case. Usually, second marriage is considered as an option where a person feels lonely and needs a partner, or a child from the first marriage is to be brought up with emotional care and support, or for such other reasons. Let us understand how astrology can be useful in knowing before hand whether a person has second marriage in his horoscope, and what are the various indicators in astrology that will help one to know about second marriage. This will help a person to know whether the second marriage will be stable and last long without any rough weathers as experienced in the first marriage.
In the Hindu tradition, horoscopes of the boy and the girl are usually matched during marriages. Based on the outcome of the matching of the horoscopes of the boy and the girl, the marriage is fixed. If there are some problems in key areas of the marriage, then the alliance is dropped.
The horoscope of a person contains or predicts the possibility of a second marriage. This is applicable to the horoscope of both the boy and the girl. The 9th House is primarily concerned with second marriage. The 8th House also denotes second marriage. The 7th house is primarily concerned with first marriage.
The presence of Venus in a male’s horoscope in the 9th House denotes wife and matters related to marriage. In a female’s horoscope, the presence of Jupiter in the 9th House signifies husband and affairs related to marriage.
If more than one planet or multiple planets are present in the 7th house, it indicates that the first marriage will be turbulent and may eventually result in second marriage, though there may be exceptions to this.
If one wants to gain clarity whether the second marriage will last, then both the 7th and 9th houses should be studied together in the horoscope. The 1st House, i.e., yourself, is the basic indicator for second marriage. The 2nd House deals with family life, spouse, and the longevity of married life.
At the time of match making for the first marriage itself, an experienced astrologer will clearly indicate the possibility of a second marriage in the horoscope, without hiding this fact. Even though that is the case, it is advisable to have a look at the horoscope afresh at the time of second marriage. Because, in astrology, there are two ways of decoding the horoscope – one is interpreting the birth chart prepared at the time of one’s birth and the other is to look at the birth chart as of today, what planetary combinations are present at the present point of time, and take a call accordingly.
Role of Planets in Determining Second Marriage in Horoscope
The presence of different plants on different Houses in the horoscope indicates the possibility of a second marriage. Let us understand how astrology decodes this aspect.
Planet Venus represents a person’s desire for a harmonious and loving relationship. Venus is the Lord of the 7th House and its placement in the 7th House can indicate the presence of a second marriage in one’s life.
Planet Jupiter stands for growth and expansion. It’s placement in the 7th House strongly suggests the possibility of a second marriage. Not only that. It also indicates the positive outcome and good fortunes that may arise out of the second marriage.
Plant Moon symbolises our mind, feelings and emotions. A strong presence of Moon in one’s birth chart can indicate that the second marriage may bring in stability and fulfilment in one’s emotions and relationship.
Planet Mercury deals with one’s intellect and communication abilities. Its presence in the 7th House suggests the possibility of second marriage with a spouse who is good in communication and an intelligent person.
Planet Rahu is the force behind one’s ambition and desires. It’s presence and power in the 7th House denotes a sudden, or unexpected and unconventional second marriage.
Planet Mars represents energy, aggression and passion. When this is positively aligned with Venus in the 7th House or when it is placed on the 7th House, it suggests the possibility for second marriage with a person who is ambitious, passionate and strong-willed.
Apart from the planets, different Houses in a person’s birth chart also indicates the possibility of a second marriage.
Generally, the 7th House is known for partnerships. Its placement determine marriage and, even second marriage. If its placement is very well and bold, it is indicative that a person is ready for a harmonious and committed relationship.
The 8th House tells us about change, transformation and re-birth. Its bold placement suggests the possibility of a second marriage due to that person’s transformation in life.
The 9th House represents higher education, philosophy and, religion. When its placement is in a positive aspect with the Lord of the 7th House, which is Venus, it indicates the possibility of a second marriage. This may happen through the person’s intellectual or spiritual pursuit.
The 11th House symbolizes aspirations, social network and, friendships. Because of its inherent natures and its positive placement in the 7th House and its Lord, Venus, it suggests the possibility of a second marriage in one’s birth chart. This can happen through a person’s social circle or a shared interest.

The horoscope can show the possibility of a second marriage when Venus, the Lord of the 7th House is in connection with 6th, 8th or the 12th House. In addition, if Venus has a bad influence or the Moon is placed in a dual sign in Navamsha, then that also indicates second marriage in one’s birth chart.
If Venus is in the dual house, combined with the placement of evil planets in the 7th House, it suggests the possibility of a second marriage in the birth chart.
In one’s birth chart, when we see the presence of an evil plant in the 7th House, along with the conjunction of Jupiter with Venus, then the possibility of second marriage arises.
Second marriage is possible when Rahu is a bad influence of Venus in the 7th House. When Venus is placed in the 4th House, then there arises the possibility of a second marriage. The placement of Mars in 7th house and Saturn or Rahu in the 8th house also indicate second marriage
Astrological Remedies for a Happy and Lasting Marriage
Astrology not only predicts second marriage at the time of first marriage itself, but also can suggest remedies for a long lasting first marriage. The possibility of second marriage arises due to the bad or negative influence of planetary position in one’s birth chart or the position and placement of a planet in a person’s chart. A competent astrologer can always find a way out to minimise or remove the bad effect of a planet and alter and avoid the consequences of such bad influence. However, this is specific to each and every individual and, therefore, a common remedy or solution cannot be advocated for such issues. It is always advisable to consult a qualified astrologer who can read the chart thoroughly, understand the problem and the impact, and then suggest a remedy. It could be in the form of performing some puja or havan or ritual or though wearing of a gemstone or a ring or some other remedy or marrying a person with a particular combination of planets
