Astrology Lessons - Fourth House (Sukha Bhava)

Fourth House - Happiness and Fixed Assets

The Fourth House determines the mental peace and worldly comforts essential for a human being. It is primarily called 'Matru Sthana' (Mother), 'Sukha Sthana' (Happiness), and 'Vahana Sthana' (Vehicles). Whether a native will lead a happy life and possess their own home and vehicles is known through this house. As the first of the Moksha Trikonas (4, 8, 12), it is the center of peace of mind.

Classification of Primary Significations

The Fourth House governs many aspects of internal and external life:

Category Significations and Description
1. Personal & Family Mother: Health of mother and relationship with her.
Relatives: Maternal uncles and close kin.
Heart: Mind, emotions, compassion, and character.
2. Assets & Wealth Home: Own house, place of residence, and bungalows.

5. Other Key Aspects The netherworld (Patala), end of life/old age, grave, witness in court, and concern for the afterlife.

Derived Houses (Bhavat Bhavam)

Matters related to other relatives can also be calculated via the Fourth House:

  • Profession of Spouse: The 7th house is the spouse's house. The 10th (Profession) from it is the 4th house (7+10-1 = 4). A strong 4th house indicates a good job or fame for the spouse.
  • Danger to Father: The 9th house is the father's house. The 8th (Longevity/Death) from it is the 4th (9+8-1 = 4). Thus, the 4th house must be seen regarding father's longevity.
  • Expenses of Children: It indicates the expenses or secret enemies of children, being the 12th from the 5th house.
  • Wealth of Siblings: As the 2nd house from the 3rd house, it indicates the financial status of younger siblings.
