LESSON 4 (MOON IN THE FOURTH HOUSE IN A HOROSCOPE)

Sutras 19-24-The native will be crowned as a king (that is he will attain a very high status in Government), he will own many horses (now-a-days he will own many conveyances) and he will enjoy agricultural and financial prosperity but his mother will be sickly. The native will have milk to drink in abundant quantities but he will be brought up on breast milk of women other than his mother. He will get plentiful good food to eat and be happy but he will be fond of women other than his wife. If the Moon is strong by being full or in his own sign Cancer, the mother will be long lived. She will be short lived if the Moon is weak (that is, waning). The waning Moon will also deprive him of the comforts of conveyances but he will enjoy these comforts if the Moon is strong. If the lord of the 4th is exalted, the native will have the good fortune of owning many kinds of conveyances.


Comments-The effects of the Moon in the fourth house as given above are relevant to the significations of this house. 'The fourth house signifies amongst other things, mother, milk, agricultural land, conveyances etc. The Moon will cause the native to achieve king like status because from the 4th house, she will be aspecting the 10th house but for this purpose it seems to be essential for the Moon to be very strong and beneficial. This can be possible when the Moon is full or is in Cancer or lord of the 5th (Pisces Ascendant), 9th (Scorpio Ascendant) or 10th (Libra Ascendant). Other good results ascribed to the Moon will accrue if the Moon is disposed as mentioned above. The mother will be sickly or the native will be brought up on the breast milk of women other than
the mother, if the Moon is malefic on account of her nearness to the Sun and the lord of the 4th is under evil influence.

Other views
Brihat Jatak-The person will be happy.

Phaldeepika-If the Moon is in the fourth house, the native will be happy, fond of luxuries and women and of sacrificing spirit. He will have good friends, good reputation and will enjoy the comfort of conveyances.

Saravali-The Native will be well provided with friends and relations, grains, house, conveyances and will be very happy. He will conduct business across the rivers or oceans.

Chamatkar Chintamani-The person concerned will occupy a position of high status with the king (Government). He will lead a happy married life and will be blessed with children. The native will not get much happiness in his childhood.

Note-In essence all the above authorities agree with the conclusions mentioned in Bhrigu Sutras.

LESSON 3 (THE MOON IN THE THIRD HOUSE IN A HOROSCOPE)

Sutras 15-18-If the Moon is in the third house the native will have average number of sisters. He will suffer from rheumatic troubles, his agricultural output will be negligible and he will be unfortunate. In his 24th year he will get punishment from Government as a result of which he will have to suffer loss of wealth. He will lose his cattle wealth. He will be a backbiter but intelligent and will have good number of brothers.

Comments-According to the learned author of Bhrigu Sutras, the placement of the Moon in the third house is not favourable in the matter of finance. We, however, think that things will change for the better if the Moon is in Taurus (when she will be exalted as the lord of the 5th) or in Cancer when she will be in his own house and aspect the ninth house i.e., house of bhagya and prosperity. The signification brothers and sisters are not damaged by the presence of the Moon in the third
house. Having negligible agricultural production, payment of penalties to Government and loss of cattle wealth are all results of being unfortunate.

LESSON 2 (THE MOON IN THE SECOND HOUSE IN A HOROSCOPE)

Sutras 9-14-The native will be handsome in appearance, full of glory, wealthy and easily satisfied. In his 18th year he will get the appointment as his commander-inchief by the king (this can also mean that he gets a distinguished professional achievement by the favour of the king in his 18th year). If the Moon is associated with a malefic, the native will be uneducated. If the Moon is in conjunction with benefic or benefics, the native will be highly educated and wealthy. If only .full Moon is in the second house, the native will be very wealthy and highly educated.

Comments-The second house amongst other things is also significator efface. The Moon in the first as well as in the second house gives the native a handsome appearance. It is stated that if the Moon is in the second, the native is appointed commander-in-chief in the 18th year of his life. This is difficult to swallow. It is hardly likely that any person at the tender age of 18 can be capable of and qualified to hold such a high and responsible post. This may have been possible in the times of the author but it is quite impracticable now-a-days. All that we should infer from this statement is that a benefic Moon in the second (preferably in Aries, Taurus or Cancer) will help the native to achieve in his young age a distinct professional achievement by the favour of the King and Government. The second house is house of wealth (Dhanabhava). According to author of Bhrigu Sutras educational achievements also fall within the sphere of the second house. That is why it is stated that if Moon is under malefic influence, the native will be uneducated. If the Moon in the second house is under benefic influence, or if there is a full Moon alone in the second house, the native will be highly educated and wealthy. In this connection it should be noted that full Moon is rated as a first class benefic.

Other Views
Brihat Jatak-The person concerned will have a large-family.

Phaldeepika-If the Moon is in the second the native will be soft spoken and will enjoy all material comforts, but there will be something wrong with his speech.

Saravali-Native will get all comforts of life and happiness, will have friends and will be wealthy. If there is full Moon in the second house the native will be very rich but will not be much talkative.

Chamatkar Chintamani-The native will gain wealth and enjoy all comforts of the body (that is, he will be very healthy). He will enjoy women and will be affectionate towards members of his family. He will be very handsome.

Note-All are agreed that the Moon in the second house will give very beneficial results according to the significations of this house, assuming however, that there is no malefic influence on such Moon. It should also be assumed that the lord of the second is well placed in the horoscope. Here we also take the liberty of mentioning that Moon in the second house will not give good results if she is lord of 6th, 8th and 12th. This will happen when Aquarius, Sagittarius and Leo are the ascendants
respectively
