The lord of the 4th house in the houses of the horoscope

The fourth house of the horoscope is Matru sthana (the mother), Sukha sthana (happiness), Vidya bhava (knowledge), Vahana sthana (transport), Bhumi bhava (land). The fourth house corresponds to the nadir, or the Bottom of the Sky — the lowest point of the chart, and therefore it symbolises everything hidden, secret and deeply personal. Benefic planets in it are conducive to meditation and may grant peace of mind. The Moon and Venus obtain directional strength (dig bala) here.

Parts of the body: the chest, the heart, the lungs, the arteries, the diaphragm, the upper part of the abdomen.

The mother, the emotional bond with the family, the heart (emotions and passions), happiness, land, immovable property, buildings, an estate, inheritance, comfort, means of transport (cars, yachts, aeroplanes), an academic degree, the end of life, the completion of affairs, secret affairs, farms, graves — all these are significations of the 4th house. Therefore any planet in the 4th house speaks of passions rooted in the person’s heart. Capricorn, ruling the 4th house, will indicate a passion for business; while Libra, the sign of Venus, will give a love of art. Although this attraction may not exert a dominant influence in the choice of profession, it will nevertheless be an inseparable part of the personality. The 4th house also rules the educational level, and therefore, even if the house of education (the 2nd house) is weak, the person will still be able to obtain a good education if the 4th house is well strengthened. (James Braha).

The condition of the 4th house shows the person’s surroundings.

The position of the ruler of the 4th house shows in which spheres of life a strong influence of the mother and of relatives in general is felt; how matters connected with property and transport are resolved; where and how the native obtains his education. The lord of the 4th will indicate what the person’s emotional state depends on, in which aspects of life he finds a sense of happiness and comfort; his attitude towards his homeland; where and in what conditions the person strives to live.
