The lord of the 4th house in the 2nd house of the horoscope

“Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra” (chapter 26, text 38): “If the ruler of the 4th bhava occupies the 2nd bhava (the bhava of wealth), then the native will enjoy pleasures, will possess all kinds of wealth, he will have a happy family life and respect, and he will be enterprising or adventurous. He will have a cunning and deceptive character.”

Comments: With the Mesha [Aries] and Vrishabha [Taurus] Lagnas the ruler of the 4th bhava [house], placed in the 2nd bhava, will be in its rashi [sign] of exaltation and therefore the results described in the shloka will be more noticeably manifest. With the Dhanu [Sagittarius] Lagna the ruler of the 4th bhava, Guru [Jupiter], being in the 2nd bhava, will be in its rashi of debilitation. Therefore such a native will be troubled by disagreements in the family, mental strain, the loss of wealth and paternal property, the loss of maternal happiness, and major disputes connected with property. With the other Lagnas mediocre results will be observed.

The lord of the 4th house in the 2nd. These are people leading a life in a setting of sensual pleasures and family happiness; they can speak well on pedagogical themes. They have the opportunity to earn money from real estate. They are useful to other people, and their ambition is great. (Tom Hopke)

Family happiness, wealth, ambition, money from real estate, an inclination towards risky ventures. (Indubala)

The receipt of money by means of land and other real estate, a happy family life; the native will support the members of his family materially, a good education, a passion for money, prosperity thanks to the mother and her connections. (James Braha)

Income from the mother, family happiness, wealth, success, honour, inherited property. Affliction of the planet leads to the loss of property and gives coarse or sarcastic speech. (Shri G.S. Agarwal)

The placement of the ruler of the 4th in the 2nd house may give the following results:

• The 4th house is the sense of security that we receive from the mother in the form of care, our homeland, our home, any conveniences and our private life behind the closed doors of our home. The 2nd house is our family. And this placement means that the native draws his sense of security and happiness from his family. A strong indication of involvement in a family business. The native’s home and his private life (the 4th) remain connected with his family (the 2nd) constantly.
• Often much real estate, work with real estate. Income revolves around real estate.
• The native will constantly be in his homeland and this brings him a feeling of satisfaction. (Kapiel Raaj)

The mother is wealthy, materially successful and helps with money, but everything will ultimately depend on the character of the ruling planet. (Rami Bleckt, “The Magic Key to the 12 Houses of Destiny”)
