Jataka Tattva · by Mahadeva
Chapter 6 · Mother and Home: the 4th House
चतुर्थविवेकः
तुर्याङ्गार्थेशाः यावत्पापयुतास्तावतां गेहानां नाशो न तु शुभदृष्टे ।
Take the lords of the 4th house, the lagna (rising sign) and the 2nd house. As many of them are joined with bad planets, that many houses are lost. This does not happen if good planets aspect them.
तुर्यतत्पौ चरर्क्षे कारके वा तथा बहुगृहवासः ।
Say the 4th house falls in a moving sign and its lord is in a moving sign. Or say the karaka (the planet that stands for a thing) of the 4th house…
गृहतत्पौ स्थिरे तथा कारके वा स्थिरवासः ।
Say the 4th house falls in a fixed sign and its lord is in a fixed sign. Or say the karaka (the planet that stands for a thing) of the 4th house is…
शुभषष्ठ्यंशे तुर्येशे स्थिरवासः ।
Say the 4th lord is in the shashtyamsha (one-sixtieth part of a sign) division of a good planet. Then the person lives in one place for long.
