The Fourth House

A student asked in class: "What about Mesha in the 4th house?" Mesha in the 4th means Mangala. So here too there is always breaking and rebuilding at home, and the results of Mangala in the 4th, given below, come through the rashi.

Simha in the 4th means the number 5 is written in your 4th house. Whether Surya Narayana sits in the 4th or Simha is in the 4th, the results I give for the Sun work for both.

• Giving orders to everyone at home.
• Doing justice for the public. In the charts of IAS and IPS officers, people in government service and people who work in the municipality, you will see the Sun or Simha in the 4th.
• Simha rashi is the karaka of entertainment, so the person will very much like dance, reality shows and Netflix.

When the neighbour is poor, when the people at home are always ill, when there is conflict at home, look for Kanya in the 4th. Remember what Kanya is: the environment of procedure, where small mistakes are always picked out and everything must run by rule, by SOP. You have to use the rashis too, not only the grahas.

Whenever you marry a Karka ascendant, always check for narcissistic traits. Why? Because Chandra is on the lagna, which is very triggering (it is psychic), and Shukra holds the 4th. A Shukra and Chandra combination is forming.

• They will do nothing at home. They will sit like rajas and maharajas, and everything has to be brought to them.
• My own brother is a Karka ascendant. What does he want? "Bring it and give it to me."
• But he keeps the house very straight, absolutely neat and clean. That is the beauty of the Karka ascendant, and these are Shukra's qualities.
• Yet the toilet of the house will not be very clean, because Shukra is in the 4th.

Ketu in the chaturth bhava, in home sweet home. What does he do to the home? Griha tyag: leaving the home.

Home

• Until you leave your homeland, whatever it is, your city, town or village, you will not get success. With Ketu in the 4th the person will have to leave home.
• He feels restless at home.
• Minimal things at home: only as many as are needed. Very little space to walk. He prefers a quiet space and is detached from the physical home.
• The disease of wandering, bhatakne ki bimari. He keeps strolling: on the roof, in the house, in the living area. Moving about has become his thing. Even while he is talking on the mobile, he is strolling. Talking while strolling is Ketu's sign.
• Land: three kinds of land. Ketu in the 4th gives three houses.

Moral values

• Giving in nature. There is tyag (renunciation) in his heart. Such a person is a sannyasi.
• Naturally a yogi. He has taken birth as a yogi.

The public

• He does not like going into public spaces, and does not like dealing with the public.

Heart

• Emotionally introvert. He cannot express himself.
• Internally very mysterious. He keeps questioning himself and is always thinking about something.
• He likes listening to sad songs, songs of separation.
• The physical heart: the heart-rate impulse comes in stops and starts, because Ketu represents a break. The heart is unable to pump; there is a break in the frequency at which the heart vibrates; the breathing is broken.

Mother

• With the mother he is very spiritually inclined, but he cannot express it to her.

Peace

• Always restless: the search for amrit (nectar). Where will he find peace? With Mahadev, in bhajan, in spirituality.
• He always runs after happiness, but he wants it inside: "Whatever joy I get, whatever happiness I get, I should get it within myself, not in any other thing."

Depth of realisation

• He has realisation in depth, of anything.

Wherever Mangala is, the person is very active there. In the 4th, the house that is the emotional body, that activity lands on the home and the heart.

Home

• Very active at home.
• Always changing the interior: changing the vastu again and again.
• Constant tod-phod at home, breaking and rebuilding, and construction going on regularly. He loves renovations and keeps getting the house renovated all the time. He lives like a madman here. Sometimes he gets construction done, sometimes he breaks something here and smashes something there. He does the bedroom one way, puts the bed sometimes on the left, sometimes on the right, sometimes changes its orientation. He will keep doing it always.
• Land: Mangala is the karaka of land, so this makes the combination of an industry at home. He can do real-estate business. He is interested in property, in building property, and he gets the support of bhoomi (land).
• He is entrepreneurial. He always wants to discover new things and start something new, and he starts new things on gut feeling.

Moral values

• What should be solved with Jupiter, with love, with mohabbat (affection), by sitting together and understanding through knowledge, these people explain with the sword. They want everyone at home kept quiet by showing the sword. The sword is drawn at home, and that is why this placement gives problems.

Heart

• Very unstable emotionally, volatile and easily triggered. Triggered means: the moment anybody says anything against you, against what you want, you catch fire.
• Blood pressure: high. Tamtamana, flushing hot with rage. When the anger comes, the face turns red.

Mother

• He always protects the mother, and fights with her regularly. He protects her a lot, gets scolded by her (gaaliyan khana), and gets beaten too.
• It is a blood relationship, so with the mother those fights carry on. But friendship will not last long.

Peace

• When does a senapati (army commander) get peace? By ruling. When everyone at home starts respecting you, when the major responsibility comes into your hands, when the keys of the house come into your hands, then you become calm.
• But wherever Mangala is, the person needs instruction there. So if such a person has his home designed under a guru's guidance, then there is a problem.

Triggers

• Everything will trigger him at home.
• Not getting something. A pizza is made at home and you got this particular piece: anger.
• Insult. If someone insults him, he gets very, very angry.

Depth of realisation

• Rajasic. "This person gave me pain, this person cheated me": he stays stuck on it. It is a kshatriya nature.

Draw the kundli: make a diamond shape in the middle and cross it. That is your 4th house, and here sits Surya. Whether it is Surya Narayana in the 4th or Simha in the 4th, these results work for both.

Home

• Authority: giving orders to everyone at home. He acts as the absolute authority there. The more grahas there are with the Sun, Mangala, Shukra, many grahas, the more he keeps giving orders to others all the time. With four or five grahas in the 4th, he gives orders all day.
• That is why we see that people in authority, IAS and IPS officers, have the Sun in the 4th, and that is why they keep many naukar-chakar (servants) at home, and at home he always has the bolbala, the final say. A woman with this placement always gets others to do the work at home and becomes the big boss there.
• He wants a bright, high-quality home, in a very good society.
• Entertainment. The Sun is the karaka of entertainment, and so is Simha. He needs it: dance, reality shows, Netflix.

Moral values

• Like a diplomat's. The Sun is authoritative, but not aggressive. The core values are sattvic in nature, and highly moral.

The public

• The Sun's second job is giving nyaya (justice), and the 4th house represents the masses. So he wants to do justice with the public, to get them justice.
• That is why IAS and IPS officers have the Sun in the 4th, and in the charts of people in government service or in the municipality you will see the Sun or Simha in the 4th.

Heart

• At home there will be everything, but there is no happiness. The 4th is watery, and what has the Sun done to the water? Evaporated it. The emotions that were there have evaporated. He is emotionally dry.
• So he feels, "My emotions, my svabhav (nature), I am not able to express," because the Sun is very hard-core in nature. He cannot quickly tell his matter to anyone.

Mother

• The mother is an authority. You will be afraid of her. What do you feel towards her? Fear.
• The father has a very big role. Whenever Surya is in someone's 4th, his life starts getting troubled when the father leaves his life. Until then, the father controls everything.
• It is the father who develops his moral values.
• He gets a good deal of inheritance from the father. But the inheritance he gets, the mother keeps it and does not give it to him.

Triggers

• When nobody goes according to him. "Whatever household things come, they should come according to me. It should be done my way. It should look beautiful. It should be branded." Everything should be of good quality.

Depth of realisation

• In the Sun nothing remains. So in the end these people get absorbed in yajna. Homa, yajna, tapa: you are made for these three. Do them regularly.

Whenever Shukra goes into the 4th house, the home becomes refined and the heart becomes a little hidden.

Home

• Everything branded and refined, everything in its place, neither too much nor too little. Go to such a home and you will find everything very elegant: the plants, the lights, the sofa, the colour of the house.
• An elegant, sweet-smelling home.
• He stays dressed up at home, stays beautiful.
• Land and wealth: a very good yoga. Shukra represents Maa Lakshmi, so the person has no lack of wealth.

Moral values

• The core value is refinement: what he needs at home is everything branded and refined, everything in its place, neither too much nor too little (see Home).
• The person's nature is very good.

Heart

• Wherever Shukra is, something is always fishy. Fishy means: some things you hide, or you show off. So he likes to show off his home, and he likes showing his deities. Shukra represents show-off, and wherever he is, you are not 100 percent clean. Something or other will create shanka (suspicion).
• In the 4th, the person gets into love life and relations.
• It also gives narcissistic qualities where a Shukra and Chandra combination forms; look whether it is actually forming. (See Tula in the 4th, for the Karka lagna.)

Mother

• Generally the mother is of a very good nature.
• Childhood, and the memories with the mother, are very good.
• The sutra of wife and mother. I do not know why, but I have generally seen that the person fully gets the sukh (happiness) of only one of the two, the wife or the mother, and generally these two do not get along. If he has received a great deal of the mother's happiness, this placement makes a shortage in the happiness from the wife. Anyone with experience who has Shukra in his 4th can confirm that the wife and the mother do not get along. This I have seen in some places.

Peace

• He likes jewellery, pearls and necklaces; makeup; wearing good clothes; shringar (adornment), doing it and getting it done, and adorning the deities.
• Songs and stuti (hymns of praise), vigraha seva (the worship of the deity at home) and bhoga (food offered to the deity). He attains peace through dressing up and serving the deities beautifully.

Triggers

• Dirt. If the home is dirty, if a bad smell comes from it, if there is garbage everywhere, or if the aesthetics are missing, he gets very angry and disturbed, if Shukra sits well in the 4th.

Depth of realisation

• The grace of Srimati Radha Rani and of Maa Lakshmi is on such natives. Maa Lakshmi, Srimati Radha Rani, Maa Sita: you will find pictures of all the goddesses at home.
• The native comes to know very deep things about married life and about women. But if a relationship issue comes here, such a person has a lot of trouble.

Rahu has very focused energy, and he amplifies anything. In the 4th he amplifies the home, the love and the quarrels.

Home

• Food ordered at home regularly.
• The home is often bright: ring lights, small lights, a lot of lights. At festivals, Diwali, Dussehra, Chhath, his light sets will be very unique.
• Everything at home very big. A king-size bed, even if only one person lives in the house. King-size food. Look at the utensils: king-size. He simply does not like small things. Live life king size.
• Outside the house you will find a power station, an electric pole with wires, a transformer, or a big nala (drain). Look here for a vastu defect too.
• A crooked, irregular map of the house.
• All the electronic items, and all the social-media gear, at home.
• Daru (liquor): will you find it at his home? Yes. They build a whole wardrobe for it: "Now we will drink comfortably."
• In food he likes Chinese and expensive food. In clothes, duplicate brands: "Abibas" for Adidas.

Moral values

• Rahu is mayavi (illusory, deceptive). So: not trusting anybody; he struggles with trusting people. And if he does trust someone with closed eyes, what happens? Kapat, betrayal. Rahu in the 4th gives kapat.

Heart

• Obsession with the people you love. Whomever you love, Rahu gives obsession with them: love like a madman, pagalon ki tarah. There is obsession with anyone at all.

Mother

• The mother's face is very prominent. Look at her face: her eyes are always moving here and there, as if to see who might steal.

Peace

• Where does Rahu find happiness? When there is jai-jaikar (acclaim) for him. People should praise him. Rahu needs praise.
• But if there is klesh (discord) at home, it gets amplified. Family arguments flare up suddenly, and the klesh increases a great deal.

Depth of realisation

• He learns from fraud. Learns what? Not to trust.

What is Guru in the 4th house? Exalted. This is good for Guru.

Home

• At home, God's air and water, everything, is pure.
• The home is outside the city, near a forest, with a lot of greenery around: a pure, airy home near nature.
• A big house.

Moral values

• Great. Such a person cannot do wrong to anyone. He does not do wrong to anyone.

The public

• Jupiter gives you authority with the masses. People always accept you. They trust you. Such a person has the trust of the masses.

Heart

• Very soft and giving in nature: a deeply soft, moral heart.

Mother

• The mother is wise, blessed and very pious.
• She is strict, and she always teaches you moral values. She acts like a guru, a wise teacher.

Peace

• From jnana (knowledge), from pravachan (spiritual discourse), from yoga, yajna and spirituality: from all these the person gets happiness.

Triggers

• The absence of justice and knowledge. He is triggered heavily by injustice.

Depth of realisation

• By guru-kripa, the grace of the guru, the person gets everything.
• With Devaguru Brihaspati here, he is like a sponge. He can absorb every knowledge easily.

Wherever Shani is, what do you do there? Do you get insulted, or do you insult others? In the 4th, anyone and everyone insults him at home. That is very common.

Home

• An old house, an old vehicle, and a heap of old stuff at home. He simply does not want to throw anything away; he wants to utilise everything. A lot of junk and garbage lies around.
• Old things and second-hand things suit him. He gets them from his brother, from his family members; anyone hands him old things and goes away. House, vehicle or bungalow, whatever it is, he gets it old.
• And yet Shani regularly gives the construction of a house: such a person gets a house built.
• There will always be a water problem in his house: leakage, seepage, or problems in the toilets.
• He creates a great amount of pressure at home: old homes and heavy pressure.

Moral values

• Shani's core value: hard work is the key. He works very hard at home, like a labourer, exactly like a servant. They do a lot of work at home.

The public

• Shani here shows past misuse of public resources (see "The public and the masses" above, and its remedy).

Heart

• Shani dries up the emotional body and creates blockages. He is emotionally dry.
• Blockages in the heart.
• He cannot trust anyone.

Mother

• She will always discipline you. The mother has a controlling nature, controlling you and creating pressure on you.

Peace

• When there is plenty of stuff at home.
• When the career is stable. Working from home.

Triggers

• When someone does not work. He looks at someone and says: "What does he keep doing, sitting around all day?" Somebody sleeping the whole day troubles him. He is triggered by lazy people.
• But Shani is also the karaka of laziness. So at home they are lazy themselves: you have to get them up again and again. They are undisciplined; they do not fold their clothes and put them away. And they waste water. These things should be avoided.

Depth of realisation

• It comes through struggle, patience, failure and hard work. These four words are very important.
• He learns a great deal from failure, and he also learns from poverty, so that he knows the value of even ₹10.

In the 4th house the Moon sits in his own house. The home is the ultimate sanctuary.

Home

• Moody, lazy, not doing things on time.
• A comfort-loving person, aaram-priya.
• Land and wealth: no problem, because the Moon is a royal planet.

Moral values

• Trying to establish peace, and being well connected with the masses.

The public

• Allegations come: accusations are put on him by the public.
• He stays connected with the masses, and whatever he does in public service, he gets success in it.
• He can do work related to water, get water connections put in, or work with the municipality. So the person has involvement with the public.

Heart

• Very emotional. He likes to eat, to drink and to roam. Home is everything for him, because wherever the Moon is, that is where we search for happiness.
• The heart keeps changing. He keeps running after different things, after khushi (happiness). And this Khushi is not some girl! Wherever he gets happiness, there he goes: some like singing, some like playing music, some like roaming. He does things his own way, according to what makes him happy.

Mother

• A very strong bond with the mother. The mother loves him a lot.
• The memories with the mother are very good.

Peace

• There is always peace. But the person is emotionally abused: many people emotionally abuse the native.
• So how often you will see childhood trauma here. Sexual exploitation is also seen here, if malefics come into the 4th. The health also stays bad in childhood.
• If the Moon is together with a malefic here, one should be very, very careful.

Triggers

• Rules. If somebody at home starts laying down rules, it causes a lot of trouble.

Depth of realisation

• Bhaja Govindam: a devotee of Lord Krishna, the flute-player, muraliya wale. Such people should go regularly to Vrindavan and say "Radhe Radhe" there. Jai ho.

Mercury in the 4th is a baniya, a trader. Remember it in one line. If you look for all of Mercury's things, you will find even more of his vibrations in the 4th house.

Home

• He lives at home like a child. The home looks like a playground: books, electronics, bunny energy. Paintings, art, dance and singing; he stays happy doing these at home, always doing something or other. You will find quite a lot of paintings in his home.
• He lives in an apartment and likes only an apartment: multi-floor, corporate, near the corporate offices. A house on the third floor.
• In his own house he is treated like a tenant. Because it is Mercury, he has put half the house to use: "You are coming for 10 days? Do one thing: pay ₹300 a day and I will give you this space for 10 days." His mind is always on making an Airbnb. Mercury-prominent people deal with things that way.
• He loves counting money and doing deals, and works from home.
• Land and wealth: the wealth he gets is wealth from connecting, or he earns from dalali (brokerage). Somebody needed a buyer, somebody needed a seller: he introduced them and took his own commission in between.

Moral values

• Gaining skill sets.

The public

• How does Mercury deal with the masses? As a baniya: a ration shop, a grocery shop, business, home items.
• He also makes a lot of calculation errors.
• Many times I have also seen a children's doctor here. The person is quite good in medicine, and he takes care.

Heart

• Emotional body: he enjoys debate. Watching debates, listening to the news.
• Dil maange more, the heart wants more. Always young; staying young forever.
• Budha's nature is to keep jumping and hopping about, so he is always playful.

Mother

• Childhood memories with the mother: toys, and crying a lot. Completely stubborn: "We want this thing." When Mercury goes mad in the 4th, it goes mad for that one thing. Whatever it wants, it wants only that.

Peace

• There should be money.

Triggers

• When do children start crying? When they do not get things according to their own wish. So with him.

Depth of realisation

• From book reading, when he reads books regularly; from reading and listening to the shastra; and from taking financial knowledge. Through this the person becomes stable and sukhi, at ease.
