How To Predict Second Marriage In Vedic Astrology: Houses, Planets & Navamsa

Introduction

Second marriage is not just a continuation of the first.

It happens after an emotional ending which means the astrology behind it is also different.

You cannot use the same yogas or houses that are used for first marriage predictions.

Second marriage needs a separate method based on new houses, new planetary combinations, and new Dasha timing.

In this article, you’ll learn exactly how to predict second marriage using the birth chart and Navamsa chart.

We’ll go step by step, first checking if the first marriage is actually broken, then identifying which houses and planets give remarriage.

You’ll understand the role of the 9th house (as the 3rd from 7th), the importance of the 11th house for bonding, and why the 2nd house matters for family life after remarriage.

We’ll also cover the most important planets i.e Venus, Rahu, Jupiter, and Saturn and how they behave during Dasha and transit.

You’ll see how Navamsa (D-9 chart) reveals second marriage patterns even when the main chart doesn’t show it clearly.

This guide is not just about yogas, it also includes emotional and practical factors like Moon placement, Saturn’s delays, and Dasha mismatches.

If a chart shows remarriage but the native still doesn’t marry again, emotional blocks or wrong timing are usually the reason.

By the end, you’ll be able to read second marriage in a chart step by step using house logic, planetary placements, Dasha, and Navamsa cross-check.

Let’s begin.

Step 1: Check If the First Marriage Is Actually Broken

Before predicting a second marriage, you must confirm that the first marriage is over either legally, emotionally, or astrologically.

Just having conflicts in marriage is not enough.

Vedic astrology shows second marriage only when the chart clearly indicates both:
an end to the first marriage and a separate set of yogas for a new union.

Divorce or long-term separation is usually seen when the 7th house, 7th lord, or Venus is under heavy affliction.

Malefic aspects, conjunctions with Saturn, Mars, or Rahu, or hemmed conditions can lead to breakup or bitterness.

Saturn or Ketu transit over the 7th house or Venus can also trigger long-term detachment.

But remarriage will not happen just because the first marriage ends.

There must be new yogas and Dasha support for a second relationship to form.

In most second marriage cases, 9th house, 11th house, and their lords become active especially during Dasha or favorable transits.

The 9th house is the 3rd from 7th, which shows the new chapter after marriage ends.

The 11th house shows emotional bonding, companionship, and new partnerships.

The 2nd house becomes important when the native wants to build a new family or have emotional grounding again.

Remarriage usually happens in the Dasha of:

• The 9th or 11th lord
• Planets placed in the 9th or 11th house
• Venus or Rahu
• Any functional benefic activating 2nd, 7th, 9th, or 11th houses

In many cases, Rahu Dasha leads to sudden remarriage especially when Rahu is placed in the 7th, 9th, or 11th house.

Jupiter Dasha can also give remarriage if it connects to 2nd, 7th, or 11th house by placement or aspect.

You will study these Dasha patterns in more detail in a later section.

Step 2: Understand Why Second Marriage Needs Different Yogas

Second marriage is not an extension of the first.

It comes after loss, emotional suffering, or personal transformation.

So the yogas and planets that support first marriage are not always the same for the second one.

The 7th house is still relevant because it rules all committed relationships.

But for second marriage, you must also look at the 9th house, because it is the 3rd from the 7th.

In Vedic astrology, the 3rd from any house shows continuation, movement, or the next phase related to that house.

In second marriage prediction, the 9th house is used because it is the 3rd from the 7th, representing the next stage or partner after the first marriage breaks down, according to Bhavat Bhavam logic.

The 3rd house in general signifies, action, initiative, effort, travel, movement, transition, change from one phase to the next, communication, courage, new ventures. So when you apply “3rd from any house,” you get: The next stage, effort to continue, or transition related to that house’s matters

So the 9th house shows the next relationship or marriage after the first one ends, especially when judged in the context of second marriage prediction.

The 11th house also becomes important.

It is the 5th from the 7th house, showing emotional gains and bonding after the first relationship.

It reflects new connections formed through friends, social circles, or online platforms.

It also shows the native’s desire to try again and feel fulfilled emotionally.

The 2nd house helps assess whether the second marriage will lead to a new family life or not.

It reflects domestic peace, emotional grounding, and long-term adjustment in the new relationship.

You must also consider emotional maturity. After a failed first marriage, people often carry fear, guilt, or trust issues.

That’s why you should check the Moon and the 4th house, which reflect emotional readiness.

If these are weak, the native may delay or avoid remarriage even if yogas exist.

Dasha patterns also shift in second marriage cases.

The first marriage often happens in Venus Dasha, 7th lord, or Moon periods.

But second marriage usually happens in Rahu Dasha (especially if Rahu is placed in 7th, 9th, or 11th) or Jupiter Dasha (if it connects with the 2nd, 7th, or 11th house).

Saturn Dasha may delay remarriage until the person has emotionally healed or learned certain karmic lessons.

In short, a second marriage prediction needs a fresh set of rules. You can’t use the same combinations you used for first marriage.

Read my guide on Spouse Predictions which talks about spouse features in 1st marriage.

The logic must come from new houses, different Dasha periods, and a clear emotional understanding of the native’s state of mind.

Here’s a practical summary of how these houses behave in second marriage prediction:

1. 9th House – Indicator of Second Marriage Itself

The 9th house is the 3rd from the 7th, and in Bhavat Bhavam logic, it represents the continuation or next stage after the first marriage.

If the 9th lord is strong, placed in a Kendra or Trikona, or forming a yoga with Venus or the 11th lord, second marriage becomes possible.

Even if the 7th house is damaged, the strength of the 9th house can bring a new beginning.

2. 11th House – Entry of New Relationship

The 11th house shows desire fulfilment and incoming emotional or social bonds.

When the 11th house is active, especially in Dasha, the native may meet someone new, feel emotionally ready, or form a new connection through friends, workplace, or social platforms.

This house often shows how the second partner enters the native’s life.

3. 2nd House – Family Formation and Stability

The 2nd house tells you whether the second marriage will lead to a peaceful, long-term family setup.

It is the house of domestic peace, speech, values, and emotional grounding.

If the 2nd house or its lord is afflicted, remarriage may bring conflict at home or end quickly.

If strong, it supports emotional and financial security in the new relationship.

4. 7th House – Condition of Relationship Itself

Even though second marriage is not judged from the 7th house alone, this house still shows how stable or unstable relationships will be overall.

If the 7th house is afflicted again in Dasha or transit, it may lead to problems in second marriage too.

If the 7th lord supports the 9th or 11th house, it helps second marriage succeed.

These houses should be checked along with:

• The Dasha lord’s relationship with these houses.
• The placement of Venus, Rahu, or Jupiter in these houses.
• Aspects or conjunctions affecting these houses.

Strong support from even two of these four houses usually indicates a strong possibility of second marriage.

Weakness in all four means remarriage is unlikely, even if the native is legally free.

Step 3: How to Use Key Houses to Predict Second Marriage

Once you know which houses matter for second marriage, the next step is to apply them properly while reading a chart.

The four key houses are the 9th, 11th, 2nd, and 7th.

Here’s how to actually use them in second marriage prediction:

1. Check if any of these houses are active in Dasha or Antardasha: If the Dasha lord is the owner of 9th, 11th, or 2nd house, or is placed in any of these houses, it supports remarriage. Even if Venus or Rahu are placed in these houses, their Dasha can trigger second marriage especially when the native is already divorced or separated.

2. Look at the planets placed in these houses: If benefics like Jupiter, Venus, or Moon are placed in the 9th or 11th house, it gives a positive chance of remarriage.
Rahu in these houses can also bring sudden marriage which can intercaste, or with a foreign/divorced partner. If malefics like Saturn, Mars, or Ketu are placed in these houses without any benefic aspect, they may create emotional blocks or delay remarriage.

3. Judge the strength of house lords: If the lord of 9th, 11th, or 2nd is exalted, in own sign, or placed in a Kendra or Trikona, it increases the chances of second marriage. If these lords are debilitated, combust, or placed in the 6th, 8th, or 12th houses, remarriage becomes difficult unless strong Dasha or transit support is present.

4. Cross-check with the 7th house: The 7th house still shows the condition of relationships. If it is badly afflicted and not connected to the Dasha, remarriage may not happen at all. If the 7th house is again afflicted during the Dasha that could bring remarriage, the second marriage may not work either. But if the 7th lord forms a connection with the 9th or 11th house, it gives strength and balance to the new relationship.

5. Transit support: Look at the transit of Jupiter and Saturn over the 9th, 11th, 2nd, or Venus. These transits can help materialize a relationship during the right Dasha.
Also check the transit of the 7th house lord, if it is moving over the 9th, 11th, or 2nd house, or aspecting these houses, it often brings a strong trigger for remarriage.
If Jupiter is transiting the 2nd or 7th house or aspecting Venus, it gives blessings for a peaceful and timely second marriage.

Step 4: Which Dasha and Transit Give Second Marriage?

Dasha timing is the most critical factor that activates second marriage.

Even if second marriage yogas are present in the chart, nothing will happen until the right Dasha and transit activate those houses.

In most cases, remarriage happens only when the Dasha lord is strongly connected to the 9th, 11th, 2nd, or 7th house.

Here’s how to check it step by step:

Here’s how to read them:

1. Dasha of the 9th, 11th, or 2nd House Lord: If the Dasha lord is the owner of the 9th, 11th, or 2nd house, or is placed in one of these houses, it can open the door for second marriage.

These houses show new relationship possibilities after the first marriage ends.

Dasha of these lords often brings new connections, emotional readiness, or remarriage especially if Venus or Rahu is involved.

2. Dasha of Planets Sitting in 9th, 11th, or 2nd House: Even if the planet is not the house lord, its Dasha can give results based on placement.
For example:

• Rahu in 11th house can bring sudden remarriage in Rahu Dasha.
• Venus in the 9th house can give a new life partner during Venus Dasha.
• If Jupiter or Moon is placed in 2nd, remarriage may come with emotional or family peace.

3. Dasha of Strong Benefics or Marriage-Linked Planets: Dasha of Venus, Rahu, or Jupiter can give second marriage, especially when they connect to the 2nd, 7th, 9th, or 11th houses.

• Venus gives relationships, attraction, and bonding.
• Rahu gives sudden, unusual, or cross-cultural remarriage.
• Jupiter brings blessings and stability if it connects the right houses.

4. Dasha of Malefic Planets: If Mars, Ketu, or Saturn give Dasha, results depend on placement and aspects.

• If they are placed in 6th, 8th, or 12th, remarriage is unlikely or painful.
• If placed in 9th or 11th with benefic support, they may still bring a second marriage, but with emotional baggage.
• Saturn may delay remarriage but give maturity or seriousness when it finally happens.

5. Check Strength of the House Lords: Strong lords of 9th, 11th, or 2nd placed in own sign, exalted, or forming yogas with Venus or Moon support remarriage in their Dasha.

Weak or afflicted lords (combust, debilitated, or in 6th/8th/12th) reduce remarriage chances unless supported by strong transit.

6. What Kind of Transits Support Second Marriage?: Even a good Dasha needs support from Jupiter and Saturn transits.

Watch for these triggers:

• Jupiter transiting over 9th, 11th, 2nd, or 7th house, or aspecting Venus
• Saturn moving out of 7th or 4th house (emotional blockage may lift)
• Rahu–Ketu axis moving across 1st/7th or 5th/11th axis (sudden new connection)
  These transits often align with major decisions, meetings, or emotional clarity.

Step 5: Cross-Check Second Marriage Clues in Navamsa (D-9)

Many times, second marriage is not clearly visible in the birth chart (D-1), but the D-9 chart gives the full picture.

If you skip Navamsa, your prediction for remarriage will remain incomplete.

Here’s how to read second marriage from the D-9 chart:

1. Check the 9th House of D-9:  Just like in the birth chart, the 9th house in D-9 shows the possibility of remarriage. If there is a benefic planet placed in the 9th house, or the 9th lord is strong, the native may get married again even if the 7th house of D-1 is damaged. A well-placed Venus, Moon, or Jupiter in the 9th of D-9 is a strong remarriage indicator.

2. Study the 11th House of D-9: The 11th house in Navamsa shows emotional connection, new bonding, and second chance in love. If Rahu is in the 11th in D-9 and supported by Venus or Jupiter, second marriage may come through unexpected means. A benefic 11th lord or positive aspects on the 11th house in D-9 can confirm fulfillment of emotional desires in second marriage.

3. Compare 7th House of D-1 and D-9: Sometimes, the 7th house of the birth chart is badly afflicted, showing divorce or detachment. But the 7th house of Navamsa is strong, which means the second marriage may bring a better emotional connection. In such cases, the native may struggle in the first marriage but succeed in the second.

4. Look for Hidden Patterns: In many remarriage cases, you will see:

• 7th lord of D-1 placed in 9th or 11th of D-9
• Venus shifting from afflicted sign in D-1 to strong sign in D-9
• Rahu or Moon placed in 11th house of D-9
• Jupiter aspecting Venus or 7th house of D-9

5. Confirm Timing with D-9 and Dasha Link: If the planet giving Dasha is placed in 9th or 11th of D-9, or owns those houses, remarriage becomes very likely. Also check if transit Jupiter is aspecting these houses in D-9 at the time of second marriage.

Step 6: Check Emotional & Social Readiness for Remarriage

Not every person with second marriage yogas will actually remarry.

Sometimes the chart shows remarriage clearly, but the native avoids it due to emotional fear, family pressure, or mental exhaustion.

That’s why it’s important to check emotional and social readiness especially through the Moon, 4th house, and certain planetary combinations.

1. Condition of the Moon: The Moon shows your emotional openness.
If the Moon is weak, afflicted, or placed in 6th, 8th, or 12th houses, it shows emotional pain, hesitation, or mental fatigue. Such natives may want a relationship, but will keep delaying or avoiding remarriage even if the opportunity comes. A strong Moon in Kendra, Trikona, or in conjunction with benefics like Jupiter or Venus shows emotional healing and willingness to move forward.

2. Saturn’s Position Over 4th or 7th House:  Saturn over the 4th house brings emotional coldness, heaviness, or guilt related to past family life. If Saturn is transiting or placed in the 7th house, the person may be legally free but emotionally blocked. In some cases, this leads to staying single out of fear of repeating old mistakes. Saturn also shows social pressure and duties especially if the native is female, has children, or is over age 35.

3. Mars-Venus Combinations Post-Divorce: If Mars and Venus are in close conjunction or aspect during the second marriage Dasha, it shows desire, attraction, and hope for a fresh start. But if they are in 6/8/12 relationship or afflicted by Saturn/Rahu/Ketu, it may show mistrust, impulsiveness, or fear of intimacy.

4. 4th House and Its Lord: The 4th house shows inner peace, comfort, and desire for domestic life. If the 4th house or its lord is afflicted, the native may feel emotionally unsafe in relationships even if externally they seem stable. Strong 4th house support is often what helps a person finally say “yes” to remarriage.

5. Role of Rahu and Ketu:  Rahu can create intense longing for emotional connection even obsession. If placed in the 4th or 7th house, it may push the person into quick remarriage decisions. But without emotional healing, these relationships bring disappointments. 

Example Horoscope Of Second Marriage

Given below are two examples of people who married again after having all formalities of divorce done.

It is important to note that the culture of the native matters a lot in re-marriage. 

Here, the 2nd examples belongs to a Muslim men for whom it was quite easy to marry again.

Where the first example belong to a girl who found the chance of 2nd marriage with support of luck and planning.

Examples Horoscope No.1: The horoscope of the girl is given below and she has Cancer ascendant with Sun in the 7th house.

Her 2nd marriage happened in Venus-Mercury. Venus is Lord of the 11th house and is placed in the 5th house of love affair. Venus has aspect over its own house also. 

Mercury the antardasha Lord is placed in the 6th house with Jupiter which is Lord of the 9th house.

Clearly, the 5th, 9th and 11th house was active which supports the theory which I gave you earlier regarding the rules and yoga for remarriage.

Example Horoscope No.2: Him coming from a background where 2nd marriage is easy to pursue and he got married in Saturn-Saturn period. 

Saturn is ruler of the 1st house and is a functional benefic planet in his case. Saturn is placed in the 11th house of navamsha.

Example Horoscope No.3: The horoscope belongs to male native who remarried in the dasha of Ketu-Mars. Mars is placed in the 9th house with Venus. As mention in the rules for 2nd marriage the union of Mars and Venus can play a important role in remarrying again.

Step 8: Remedies and Practical Tips for Delayed Second Marriage

Sometimes the chart clearly shows second marriage yogas, but remarriage gets delayed for years.

This delay can happen due to fears (weak moon), weak dasha (lack of opportunity), social pressure, or repeated disappointment.

In such cases, remedies can help remove internal blocks and improve planetary support.

Here are some practical, astrology-based remedies you can consider:

1. Strengthen Venus- Venus is the key planet for relationship bonding and acceptance of love again. If Venus is weak, combust, or afflicted by Saturn, Rahu, or Mars, it can block remarriage.

Remedy:

• Wear white on Fridays.
• Offer raw milk or white flowers to a Shivling every Friday.
• Wear White Sapphire.
• Worship maa Laxmi.

2. Pacify Rahu (if giving sudden breakups or mental confusion)- It is seen that planet Rahu is involved in remarriage yogas, but if it’s afflicted, it brings unstable relationships or wrong choices.

Remedy:

• Chant “Om Raam Rahave Namah” 108 times daily.
• Donate blue/black clothes or mustard oil on Saturdays.
• Avoid secretive relationships during Rahu periods they usually backfire.

3. If Saturn Is Delaying Remarriage- Saturn delays marriage due to social fears, responsibilities, or emotional heaviness. If Saturn is transiting your 4th, 7th, or Moon sign, remarriage may get stuck despite interest.

Remedy:

• Light a til oil diya under a Peepal tree on Saturdays.
• Do deep cleaning of your bedroom and personal space.
• Serve elderly or father-like figures.

4. Boost the 9th and 11th House Strength- If 9th or 11th house/lords are weak or inactive in Dasha, remarriage gets delayed. These houses represent the new relationship and the emotional bonding you are waiting for.

Remedy:

• Chant Vishnu Sahasranama daily if Jupiter is connected to these houses.
• Donate yellow food items to Brahmins or temple.
• Visit places of worship or pilgrimage to activate the 9th house.
