Education and Learning
We shall now consider the combinations that make one learned. Acquisition of learning should be ascertained by a consideration of the fourth house and Jupiter. It must be noted that with the aid of astrology, it is very difficult to say from an examination of the horoscope whether one’s inclinations would be for Physics or Chemistry, Engineering or Metallurgy.
The fault of course does not lie with astrology. It shows our own imperfections and how we have not cared to tap the original source of astrological knowledge, by a proper study and adaptation of which it would doubtless be possible to anticipate the exact type of education that one is likely to take to either for his livelihood or for the sake of knowledge.
We are giving general combinations and a number of illustrations leaving the reader to pursue his own line of thought or argument to arrive at finer conclusions. From the classical works are culled out the following combinations indicative of inclinations towards different branches of leaning.
Venus in the fourth makes one proficient in music. Mercury in the fourth makes one proficient in astrology. The Sun and the Moon similarly placed favour political science, psychology and metaphysics.
Sun-Mercury combination favours proficiency in mathematics. Venus in the fourth, combined with Mercury or Sun, endows one with poetical instincts.
The Sun and Mars having anything to do with Mercury make one a logician. Jupiter similarly placed makes the person an expert in Vedas and Vedangas. Here the planet having to do most with the fourth house is to be considered and not merely the house or the lord.
Thus if Venus is lord of the fourth and he is in the seventh with Mercury and Mars and the fourth is occupied by Saturn and the Moon, the person will be acquainted with different branches of learning.
Consistent with the inherent nature and indications of the planet mainly connected with the fourth house, either as lord, occupant or associate, one has to infer the type of education one is likely to get. The
Sun is the king and the ruler. The Moon represents a wavering mind. Mars is the warrior and the practical man. Mercury is the thinker and the adept. Jupiter is the priest, spiritualist and the judge. Venus is the poet and philosopher. Saturn is the statesman and leader. Rahu is a diplomat and Ketu is the prophet and the seer. With these clues, we have to interpret the horoscope, consistent with commonsense factors, if we have to perceive the truth of astrology.
Astrology is a science. Studied and applied with the utmost integrity, astrology can be a real boon to humanity. The qualities and influencing abilities allotted to planets and signs must not be taken too literally. For example when we say that Venus is a Planet of poetry, it does not mean that one visualise as poet singing through the heavens.
It means simply that persons born at a time when Venus is situated in that portion of the heavens, which symbolically rules education, do tend to exhibit an aptitude for poetry, music and fine arts.
When dealing with the tenth bhava I propose to give adequate statistical data regarding the professions and occupations denoted by different planets. These data will also be helpful in finding out the educational and literary attainments.
The laws of horoscopic interpretation are quite sound for, they are based upon the vast experience of astrological thinkers of all ages.
Chart No 1 – The Fourth House. – The fourth house is Leo. It is occupied by no planet. Saturn, Sun, Mercury and Jupiter aspect the fourth house. The Sun as lord of the fourth and Mercury as lord of the second and fifth aspecting the fourth house have fortified the house considerably.
Yogakaraka Saturn’s aspect is equally important. Hence the fourth house is rendered quite strong.
The Fourth Lord. – The Sun is the fourth lord. He is in the tenth, in association with Mercury and Jupiter, owning the 2nd and 5th and 8th and 11th respectively. The Sun aspects the fourth house. Mercury’s association with the fourth lord is highly significant.
Vidyakaraka. – Jupiter, the Vidyakaraka, aspects vidyasthana (fourth) and is well fortified but for his ownership of the 8th and 11th, which may be ignored for purposes of assessing Vidyabhava (house of education).

Conclusion. – The strong disposition of the house, the lord and the karaka or indicator conferred on the native high education—Jupiter and Mercury indicating proficiency in astrology, Jupiter denoting scholarship in law and Vedic learning and Saturn’s aspect denoting great proficiency in English language and literature.
Here an observation has to be made. Venus is the karaka for music. He is in the 9th from the Moon and in the 11th from Vidyakaraka. This explains the great interest the native evinced in music. The intellectual attainments of this subject were not confined to any particular field.
He was a historian, astrologer, linguist, literateur and lawyer of no mean order. And his achievements in the field of learning are well borne out by the disposition and stength of the Vidyabhava and the karaka.
Chart No. 2 – The Fourth House. – In this chart the fourth house is Leo, unoccupied by any planet but aspected by Saturn. In the Navamsa the fourth house is aspected by Jupiter.
The Fourth Lord. – The fourth lord Sun is in Cancer in association with Venus lord of Lagna and aspected by Jupiter, the karaka for vidya. In the Navamsa also, the Sun joins Venus and Mars in the 7th from Lagna.
Vidyakaraka. – Jupiter, the Vidyakaraka, is in an ideal position. As lord of the 8th and 11th from Lagna and Chandra Lagna respectively, he is in the 11th in his own house aspected by Saturn the yogakaraka.
Conclusion. – The house, the lord and the karaka being fairly well disposed, endowed the native with considerable intellectual equipment. Vidyakaraka Jupiter in the eleventh and Mercury the planet of intelligence in the second is suggestive of financial gains and public favour through writing. Venus in conjunction with the fourth lord made him a successful music and art critic.
Our humble experience suggests that for proficiency in music, Venus should be in the fourth or ninth or fifth house or aspect these houses. Interest in music may be predicted if Venus is in the fourth from the Moon.
For proficiency in astrology, Mercury should be in the fourth, the Sun should be in the fifth or the Sun and Mercury should be in the second. The reference in all these caess is from Lagna or Chandra Lagna.
Great learning in Vedas and other scriptures, consistent with the native’s religion, can be predicted if the Sun and Mercury are in the fifth or Jupiter exalted or Jupiter occupies the second, ninth, fifth or tenth. Rahu’s position in the fourth or fifth generally favours diplomacy.
One who has this combination can probe into the minds of others and understand their mental currents. Students of Astrology should collect a large number of horoscopes and study the combinations in the light of actual results.
Conveyances and Possessions
The fourth house represents vehicles or carnages. We must also note the influences of the significator or karaka of conveyances, viz., Venus. One of the important combinations for the acquisition or possession of a vehicle is the association of the lords of the fourth and ninth in Lagna or the seventh from Lagna.
Venus in the fourth with the lord of the fourth or in the eleventh confers ordinary vehicles. The fourth lord in conjunction with the Moon or Venus as lord of the fourth (which is possible if Lagna is Aquarius or Cancer) in the eleventh, tenth or ninth indicates possession of vehicles.
Vahana-karaka is Venus and Vahanasthana is fourth. It is by a consideration of these [actors plus the fourth lord that we have to predict Vahana Yoga. Even in possession of Vahanas or conveyances, there are gradations. A streamlined limousine cannot be equated with a push bike or a bullock-cart though all of them fall under the category of Vahanas.
Jupiter’s presence in or aspect of the fourth plus the situation of Venus in the seventh is a sure indication of the acquisition of a fitting Vahana.
Regarding the possession of houses, the strangling hut and the more exquisitely furnished mansion, fall in the same category. It is only a difference of degree. It is the inherent strengths, the afflictions, the fortified positions of the karakas and the appropriate lord that reveal whether one would acquire a hut or a palace. The following combinations indicate possession of houses.
Lord of Lagna or the seventh joining Lagna or the fourth; strong disposition of the fourth lord in exaltation or kendra; the lord of the fourth occupying the shashtiamsas of Gopura, Mridwa or Simhasana; Vahanakaraka posited in his own Thrimsamsa; lords of the fourth and tenth in association in a kendra; and Venus strongly posited in the fourth. In applying the above combinations, the astrologer must use his skill.
Chart No. 3 – This chart is simple. The fourth lord Jupiter is in the eleventh while the fourth house is occupied by exalted Venus. Again, from Chandra Lagna the fourth Lord Saturn is in the eleventh and the fourth is aspected by Jupiter, the fifth lord, and occupied by the tenth lord. The subject possessed not one, but many luxurious conveyances and mansions throughout life.
