♀ Venus in House IV - Mother & Own Home
Bhrigu Sutras
Venus in the Fourth House
Sutras 23-28-If Venus is in the fourth house, the native will be handsome, intelligent, will have happiness from brothers, will be happy and of forgivable nature. In his 30th year he will possess conveyances pulled by horses. He will also have abundance of milk. If the lord of the fourth house is strong the native will possess horses, palanquins and gold etc. If the lord of the fourth house, is associated with a malefic, is in the house of a malefic or his enemy or is debilitated or is otherwise weak, the native will be without lands or conveyances. His mother will be in distress and he will have illicit relations with women other than his wife.
Comments-According to above Sutras the placement of Venus in the fourth will be beneficial to the native in regard to the significations of the fourth house and more so if the lord of the fourth is well placed. Sutra 23 talks of happiness from brothers if Venus is in the fourth. This is not relevant to the significations of Venus or the fourth house. It will be noted that no mention has been made in the above Sutras of the effects of Venus when he is in own sign or his sign of exaltation. In the fourth house Venus will be in Kendra to the ascendant. His disposition in his own sign or in his sign of exaltation will give rise to Malavya yoga the effects of which have already been described earlier in this chapter. It is not clear how a benefic like Venus in the 4th can give distress to mother. The placement of Venus for Virgo, Capricorn and Aquarius ascendants will prove very beneficial as Venus will be in
the fourth as lord of the 2nd and 9th, the 5th and 10th and the 4th and 9th respectively. These dispositions will give rise to powerful Dhana yogas.
