Hidden Astro-principles for Re-marriage:

1. 11th lord in the 7th and aspected by the 2nd lord; 9th lord posited in the 12th.
2. 12th lord in the 7th house makes the married life unhappy and ends up in separation and re-marriage.
3. Mars in the 12th from the ascendant and malefics especially Saturn, in the 7th. With this combination, a woman may marry another person, even when the first husband is alive.
4. 7th lord in the 11th from the Ascendant.
5. 9th and 12th lords occupying the 5th in retrogression and aspecting the 7th lord.
6. 5th lord in the 6th, 8th or 12th, from the Ascendant. 5th lord signifies affection and love. The woman whose 5th lord is posited as above may not have courtesy, kindness and affection towards their husbands.

The key factor for harmony is compatibility between the couple. This can be ascertained from their birth-charts, where the placement of planets plays a major role. In the past, child marriages were common. When the husband died, his wife had to remain alone to face the ordeals of life. But now, the pattern of life has changed. There are marriages between widow, widower and divorcees and the couple sometime lead a happy life thereafter. Though the ideal age for marriage of a girl and boy is 18 years and 21 years respectively, it is not being implemented practically. As the marriage of the girl is delayed, it becomes very difficult for her to adjust herself to the new atmosphere. Late marriages, and now-a-days, girls and boys adapting western policies etc. definitely affect the minds of the couple, after their marriage.

Astro-indicators for Re-marriage of a woman:

1. If Saturn be in the 7th and Sun in Trine.
2. 4th and 12th houses getting afflicted.
3. Aspect of Jupiter on Moon or conjunction of Jupiter and Moon in the 12th.
4. Affliction to the lords of the houses, 2,4,6,7,8 and 12 from the Ascendant & Moon.

Now the question is whether the same principles are to be considered for the second marriage of a woman as taken for the first marriage.

Factors relating to the first marriage are related to the houses 2,4,7 & 12.
If the same factors are considered for the second marriage also, it may not end up well. In some cases of second marriage, more happiness was found.

Generally astrologers predict the second marriage, 'analyzing the same 7th house; but I am considering the 9th house for the second marriage. From the 9th house (taking it as lagna), 5th is the house of children, 10th house gives happiness and Mangalya Bhagya and others as usual.
