The fourth house governs the mother, home, land, vehicles, schooling, and inner contentment. It is the foundation of the chart: where a person rests, and what they rest on.
Parashara assigns to the sukha (bandhu) bhava the mother, conveyances, relatives, lands and houses, and happiness of heart. A kendra, it anchors the private half of life the way the 10th anchors the public half; benefics here give comfort, property and an easy heart.
— Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra bhāva considerations
Read through its lord, the Moon as karaka of mother and mind-ease, Mercury for schooling, and Venus for vehicles and comforts. Saturn or Mars afflicting the 4th shows strain in home or property matters, delayed rather than denied when the lord stays strong; the 4th–10th axis is judged together, since public rise commonly taxes the same foundations this house protects.
