In astrology, divorce indicators in a birth chart involve afflictions to marriage-related houses (7th, 8th, 12th), especially by malefic planets like Saturn, Rahu, and Sun, affecting the 7th house lord (spouse) and Venus (significator of love/marriage). Key factors include strong connections between the 4th (home/happiness) and 6th (disputes) or 12th (separation) houses, involvement of separative planets (Saturn, Rahu, Sun) with 7th/4th lords, and specific combinations in divisional charts (

Key Astrological Factors
- House Afflictions: Malefic planets afflicting the 7th (marriage/partners), 8th (sudden events/upheavals), and 12th (separation/isolation) houses.
- Planetary Influences: Conjunctions or aspects from Saturn, Rahu (North Node), and Sun (malefics) on the 7th house, its lord, or Venus.
- 6th House-4th House Link: Lord of the 4th (happiness/home) in the 6th (disputes) or vice versa suggests legal battles.
- 7th Lord Issues: A weak, combust, retrograde, or heavily afflicted 7th lord (spouse) indicates marital problems.
- Separative Planets: Saturn, Rahu, and Sun strongly influencing marriage indicators often point to separation.
- Rahu’s Role: Rahu in the 7th, Lagna (ascendant), or linked with Venus/7th lord increases marital discord.
- Specific Combinations:
- 7th Lord with 12th Lord in the 12th house.
- Saturn/Rahu in Lagna (ascendant) with an afflicted 7th house.
