I put this question myself many times!I personally think first of all 7th house gives the general "colour"/ type of what relationship you will attract in a marriage whatever is first or n-rd. To this you can add some more influence from that 2nd to 7th, or 9th house, which can gives you more informations.
So, I do thing the "real house" of the number of marriage you are in, it does matter, but I didn't find more information to study it more deeply to can tell you more.
In my case first marriage was with an older man ... I have 7th cusp in capricorn, but very near of the sag. so, he was foreinger as well! The ruler of Capricorn is Saturn, which in my chart is in aries. And surprise! ... He was an aries!
But I must say this marriage was a kind of arrangement and last only few months. And I don't even know if I should consider it real marriage or not! Ok was first one but because second one is a serious real one, I wonder sometimes if I sholud consider ( this last one ) the second one or first one!
And before this "first husband", I was in a 8 years relationship with another man who was 14 years older than me, so again "saturn touch" for relationship!
Second marriage again with foreigner man! Ok, I have Sun conjunct Jupiter, so maybe that's why ... But not other straight clues I can see. And is a cold relationship, plus because his culture and religion I have a lot of restrictions! So even is second one, some general caracteristics are from my main house of marriage, the 7th.
If I look like you said the cusp of my 9th house to be HE and start counting the houses from this point,I find some matching things, for example my Saturn will fall in his (now) 3rd house ( and he has some difficulties in/with school ) in his 4th is falling his moon in gemini ( maybe moon is me - the wife, at home as I usually stay with kids ) in his 7th is my Sun / Jupiter ( his foreigner wife - me, plus because of marriage he is living aboard! ) in his 9th is falling his sun ( we met during a trip made by me )
But what I've noticed to my chart, even I am a bit off topic is the number of aspects the Sun does! I think was other topics on this subject before...the number of aspects the Sun does - for a woman and the number of aspect Moon does - for a man can show the numbers of marriages in smb's life.
In my case Sun makes three aspects:
- Sun is trine Saturn = first older man = Saturn in aries is in fall so doesn't last... then ...
- Sun conjunct Jupiter = second man which is foreigner and plus totally different culture, religion, from which btw i want to divorce soon = Jupiter is in trigonocracy in leo so maybe that's why it last for a while and
- Sun square Mars = ... who knows maybe will be the 3rd one in the future... = I will let you know Mars is in scorpio in his own teritory so hopefully will be happy lasting one
I am courious as well for other opinions!
Anybody else can help?
