Shani = karaka for a woman's second husband

1st-from-Shani = general character of second husband.

Consider the influences upon Shani within the radix and navamsha.

• Consider how Shani operates within all 16 of the most important varga charts.

• Note the distance between Shani and Chandra which is the female's nurturing core (6/8 and 2/12 angles may be emotionally problematic in the first marriage. 5/9 angles are fortunate.)

• Note incoming drishti, fellow tenants, Shani's house lordships vis-à-vis radix lagna and Chandra lagna, Shanaiscara's distance from his Own Houses, etc. See bhava-1 for more significations of "1st-from".

• Examine the full complement of effects upon Shani to assess the basic character of the second husband.

2nd-from-Shani = second husband's family (your in-laws), his language skills, and husband's ability (and methods) to accumulate wealth.

Consider any graha within 2nd-from-Shani, but assess this house as your own house too.

Perhaps more importantly, measure the distance from the bhava which is 2nd-from-Shani to the radix lagna, and to Chandra lagna. (6/8 and 2/12 angles from radix may be socially problematic with in-laws of the second marriage; or 6/8 and 2/12 angles from Chandra may be emotionally problematic with the second husband's family. 5/9 angle is fortunate.)

As always, consider all the drishti upon and tenants within this bhava to predict the quality of life with in-laws. See bhava-2 for more significations of "2nd-from".

• Compare to the general condition of one's own bhava-3(2nd-from-2nd, where 2nd-house represents the 2nd marriage), measured as 3rd-from-Chandra (emotional relationship to 2nd-marriage in-laws) and also measured as 3rd-from-lagna (material relationship to 2nd-marriage in-laws).

• For example, if the husband's money house (2nd-from-Shani) is identical with one's own house of material loss (12th radix) or emotional loss (12th-from-Chandra) then one might not enjoy his accumulated wealth, or his wealth might only be hoarded as a result of your losses.

• Yet if 2nd-from-Shani is one's own bhava-3 (for self-earned-wealth), the assets of the second husband will increase the female native's own wealth, at least partly through funding her own commercial enterprise.

3rd-from-Shani = second husband's siblings and his overall communicative mentality.

Does this man like to talk and work in groups? Is he mentally organized and disciplined? Comfortable in general conversation and small-group socializing?

Skillful in business administration? Active in short-term business travel? 3rd-from-Shani and its Lord will reveal these traits. See bhava-3 for more significations of "3rd-from". For (second) husband's mental condition, see 3rd-from-Shani.

• See female native's own bhava-4(3rd-from-2nd, where 2nd-house represents the 2nd marriage) 4th-from radix = second husband's social-mentality; 4th-from-Chandra = second husband's private psycho-mentality, the inner narrative.

Benefic influence here will give communicative skills both in public and in private. Malefic influence may indicate mental health issues.

4th-from-Shani = second husband's childhood home conditions

his basic emotional security, educational diplomas and professional licensing, and his ownership of properties and vehicles. See bhava-4 for more significations of "4th-from".

Malefics here indicate husband's psychological debility in the core personality due to trouble in the childhood home.

Benefics suggest comfort and foundational confidence that one will always find shelter in life's travails. 4th-from-2nd = female's own bhava-5.

• Compare to female native's 5th-from-Chandra and her 5th radix bhava for fuller profile of second husband's experience of 'shelter'on physical, emotional, and social levels (seen through the mirror of the wife's nativity).

5th-from-Shani = second husband's children (his fertility)

his creativity in literature, theatre, and politics; his skill in games and speculation; and his ability to channel divine intelligence.See bhava-5 for more significations of "5th-from".

A 'barren' graha such as Ketu or Shani in 5th-from-Shani is one indicator of infertility in the husband.

• Compare to one's own 6th-from-Chandra(also an indicator of offspring) and one's own bhava-6 (5th-from-2nd) for the fuller profile of husband's genius and children from the second marriage. (seen through the mirror of the wife's nativity).

6th-from-Shani = second husband's overall health

his debts or arguments, his involvement with police/military, and his proclivities toward underclass association or servitude; his inability to find balance or equality in relationships. See bhava-6 for more significations of "6th-from".

Malefic association indicates husband's karmic link to these topics. Compare to 7th-from-Chandra (for second husband's areas of emotional imbalance) and the female native's own 7th bhava for the second husband's areas of material imbalance). These houses = which is the relative Ari bhava, domain of broken agreements, for the second husband.

• Note there is anatural animositybetween bhava-2(marriage-2) and the house which is 6th-from-bhava-7(marriage-1).

• Unique qualities of the illnesses and chronic arguments of the second husband may be seen through the lord of bhava-7.

Predict disease through empowered malefics.

• For example, if a strong L-7 = Kuja-Simha or Shani-Simha, husband-2 may be prone to heart disease. If Kuja-Kumbha, nerve-ending disease ("neuralgia") such as "

  shingles" or angina. Neechcha Shani, chronic blood disease or trauma to head.

7th-from-Shani = second husband's capacity to make and honor agreements.

Surya in this house could indicate a selfish attitude; Kuja makes the husband combative in marital discussions. See bhava-7 for more significations of "7th-from".

Benefics in 7th from Shani indicate the second husband is placid and marital negotiations are smooth.

Malefics in 7th-from-Shani may impede the second husband's ability to achieve working agreements or keep promises within his peer relationships (especially in marriage!) Check the condition of the lord of this important marital bhava!

• Compare to the native 's own bhava-8 and 8th-from-Chandra, to see what level of agree-ability one is destined to attract in the character of the second husband. 7th-from-Shani also represents the previous wife of the female native's second husband, if any.

8th-from-Shani = hidden assets of the (second) husband.

Does the husband have access to secret funds, inheritance, confidential information, or tantrik lineage knowledge? On the disruptive side, is the husband prone to emergencies and catastrophic upheavals in life? See bhava-8 for more significations of "8th-from".

• For example, where 8th-from-Shani = owned or occupied by Chandra, there may be catastrophic disturbance in the husband's relationship to his mother, indicating a profound disruption of the total mind.

• If 8th-from-Shani = owned or occupied by Shukra, sudden upheavals and catastrophic transformation via women and sensual pleasure-seeking behaviors.

• Compare to 9th-from-Chandra (emotional transformation for husband-2) and one's own bhava-9 (material catastrophe, hidden assets, and/or tantrik mystery knowledge of husband-2).

9th-from-Shani = second husband's religious intelligence, priestly or ceremonial social duties, second husband's father, and second husband's overall good fortune.

See bhava-9 for more significations of "9th-from". Note the disposition of L-9.

Malefic association indicates an adversarial, distrusting, or resistant attitude toward religion; benefic association opens the path toward wisdom teaching.

Benefic ruler in an inauspicious angle to the bhava may indicate religious corruption, pretense or false piety. 9th-from-Shani = an important indicator of the second husband's relationship to his own father, which shows the primary model for the second husband's own moral maturity.

• Compare to 10th-from-Chandra (emotional capacity for moral development) and 10th-from-Radix-lagna (material reality of religion, relationship to priests and temples) to get the fuller picture of second husband's access to wisdom levels.

10th-from-Shani = second husband's career, profession, social dignity, reputation, leadership capacity, and overall prestige.

See bhava-10 for more significations of "10th-from". Note the disposition of L-10-from-Shani.

Malefic association = resistance or difficulties with leadership roles, failure in career, or struggle to achieve recognition. Ketu gives ambivalence, Shani gives a long slow but steady path to dignity. Kuja can be good for ambition, bad for tact.

Benefics show easy rise to career dignity, respect of society. Strong Surya, Guru, or Budha can indicate high prestige levels in career for the second husband.

• Compare to (10th-from-2nd =) 11th-from-Chandra for the emotional reality of the second husband's career (does he like his work? feels validated in leadership roles?) and 11th-from-radix-lagna for the material significations of his profession.

11th-from-Shani = second husband's network of friendships, gainfulness in the marketplace, ability to meet goals and enjoy achievements.

See bhava-11 for more significations of "11th-from". Note the disposition of L-11-from-Shani. This bhava which is 11th-from-Shani shows the area of life in which the female native gains the most profit from her (second) husband.

I.e., if this bhava = the female's own 5th radix, the greatest gain from her husband will be the children she creates with him. If this bhava = her own bhava-9, her great gain will be obtaining religion and moral teachings through association with the husband.

If this house = her own bhava-4, it is the gain of property, houses, and vehicles. Her bhava-6, a gain of servants through the husband. Etc.

Note the disposition of L-11. Malefic association may suggest trouble for the husband in setting or meeting life goals, poor community networking, or resistance to gains of income. Benefics show ease in these undertakings. Shukra can indicate too much pleasure from socializing, but Shukra as the karaka for money is also quite good for income.

• Compare to 12th-from-Chandra for emotional reality of the second husband's community of friendly association, and 12th-from-female's own lagna for husband-2's general gainfulness and profitable network of friends

• Surya, Kuja here give a primarily male network; Shukra, Chandra adds many women into the second husband's community; Budha is gainful, smart, shrewd, and gender-neutral.

12th-from-Shani = second husband's private dreams And imagination, second husband's travel's to foreign lands, his association with monasteries and hospitals, second husband's loss of identity and his immediate past life.

Conditions of Loss of the second husband.

See bhava-12 for more significations of "12th-from".

Malefic influence upon 12th-from-Shani indicates karmic resistance to meditation and prayer, troubled relationship to enclosed spaces (perhaps trauma of forced enclosure), and difficulties in foreign lands.

Benefic association with 12th-from-Shani indicates success in international business or good results from foreign travel, ease of release of material identity (easy death), happiness in the dream-world and clairvoyance or sensitive astral perception. Compare to Chandra-lagna and one's own 1st-house.

The character of the female's own personality will determine whether the private dealings of the second husband are felt as positive or negative effects upon oneself. If divorce or widowhood from the second marriage are otherwise indicated, conditions in 12th-from-Shani may suggest the cause of the loss-of-second-husband.

While generally speaking the 12th-from-Shani is an unfavorable bhava regarding the second marriage, results can be spiritually helpful under certain conditions. For example, if the graha which rules 12th-from-Shani occupies a 5/9 angle from the 12th-from-Shani AND that graha is generally a benefic for the native , loss of husband may be a liberating experience.
