Effects of 4th House

1. O excellent of the Brahmins, thus have been briefly told about the effects of the 3rd house. Now listen to the results related to the 4th house.

2. HOUSING COMFORTS:
One will have residential comforts in full degree if the 4th is occupied by its lord or by the ascendant lord and be aspected by a benefic.

3. MISCELLANEOUS:
Should the 5th lord be in his own house, or in own Navamsa or in exaltation, the native will be endowed with comforts related to lands, conveyances, houses, etc., and musical instruments.

4. HOUSING COMFORTS:
If the 10th lord joins the 4th lord in an angle or in a trine, the native will acquire beautiful mansions.

5. RELATIVES:
Should Mercury be in the ascendant while the 4th lord being a benefic is aspected by another benefic, the native will be honored by his relatives.

6. LONG-LIVING MOTHER:
If the 4th house is occupied by a benefic while its lord is in his exaltation sign as the indicator of mother is endowed with strength, the native will have a long-living mother.

7. HAPPINESS TO MOTHER:
The native's mother will be happy if the 4th lord is in an angle while Venus is also in an angle as Mercury is exalted.

8. QUADRUPEDS:
The Sun in the 4th, Moon and Saturn in the 9th, and Mars in the 11th - this yoga will confer cows and buffaloes on the native.

9. DUMBNESS:
Should the 4th house be a movable one while its lord and Mars are together in the 6th or the 8th house, the native will be dumb.

10-14. CONVEYANCES:
If the ascendant lord is a benefic while the 4th lord is in fall or in the 11th and the significator (Venus) is in the 12th, the native will obtain conveyances in his 12th year. Should the Sun be in the 4th house, as the 4th lord is exalted and be with Venus, one will acquire conveyances in his 32nd year. It will be in the 42nd year that one will be endowed with conveyances if the 4th lord joins the 10th lord in his (4th lord's) exaltation Navamsa. An exchange between the 11th and the 4th lords will confer conveyances in the 12th year. A benefic related to the 4th house (and to its lord) will bring with him auspicious effects while a malefic will produce only malefic effects (in respect of conveyances).
