When exalted Moon is placed in the fourth house in a horoscope, Aquarius rises in the ascendant. Exalted Moon is malefic in the fourth house in many cases though it may turn benefic in some cases. This generally happens when Moon is influenced by benefic planets, such as through conjunction and/or aspects. As the number of benefic planets and the strengths of such planets increase, Moon may become more benefic.
If exalted Moon is influenced by two or more than two benefic planets in the fourth house, it may turn significantly or highly benefic. Apart from that, the overall theme of horoscope having such exalted Moon can also turn it benefic in some cases, when such theme is highly benefic. The concept of malefic planets turning benefic due to influences of benefic planets has been explained in Manglik Dosh section of the book ‘Match Making and Manglik Dosh (Revised Edition)’.
Let’s look at some results which may be given by exalted Moon in the fourth house when it is benefic. Such benefic exalted Moon can bless the native with good results related to profession, health, finances, marriage, education and several other good results, depending on his overall horoscope. Looking at education, such benefic exalted Moon can bless the native with good or very good results in this field. The native may become a doctor, engineer or a government officer, depending on his overall horoscope.
Taking an example, suppose exalted Moon is placed in the fourth house of a horoscope in Taurus along with Mars. A benefic combination of Sun and Mercury is placed in the tenth house in Scorpio, Rahu is placed in the sixth house in Cancer and Ketu is placed in the twelfth house in Capricorn. In this case, the native may engage in medical field, he may become a doctor and he may witness good results through this profession. If benefic Venus is placed in the ninth house in Libra, Saturn is placed in the second house in Pisces and Jupiter is placed in the eighth house in Virgo, the equation may become better. In this case, the native may witness very good amount of success, money and recognition as a doctor. The native may start his own hospital after the age of 35 and he may achieve very good results through it.
Taking another example, suppose exalted Moon is placed in the fourth house of a horoscope in Taurus. Benefic Mars is placed in the third house in Aries and a benefic combination of Sun and Mercury is placed in the eighth house in Virgo. In this case, the native may become an army officer or a police officer, depending on his overall horoscope. For instance, if a combination of Saturn and Jupiter is placed in the seventh house of this horoscope in Leo and Venus is placed in the ninth house in Libra, the native may become an army officer. The native may get selected for the highest possible direct rank in the army and he may enjoy a very good career, provided the finer factors and running times are supportive for this result.
Looking at a variation, suppose the recent placements of Jupiter, Saturn and Venus are annulled. Suppose benefic exalted Jupiter is placed in the sixth house in Cancer, benefic Venus is placed in the tenth house in Scorpio and exalted Saturn is placed in the ninth house in Libra. In this case, the native may get selected as a high rank police officer and he may enjoy a good career. If benefic Rahu is placed in the eleventh house in Sagittarius and Ketu is placed in the fifth house in Gemini, the equation may improve. The native may witness better results as a police officer, he may serve at important postings during his career and he may also receive formal awards for his performance as a police officer.
Apart from these, benefic exalted Moon in the fourth house of horoscope can bless the native with several other good results, depending on his overall horoscope.
On the other hand, malefic exalted Moon in the fourth house of horoscope can trouble the native with problems related to mother, education, marriage, health, properties, vehicles and several other problems, depending on his overall horoscope. Such malefic exalted Moon can cause many problems related to the mother of the native under its influence.
Taking an example, suppose malefic exalted Moon is placed the fourth house of a horoscope in Taurus. In this case, native’s mother may suffer from physical or mental health problems which may become serious if the rest of his horoscope is supportive for this result. For instance, if malefic Rahu is placed in the fourth house in Taurus with Moon, Ketu is placed in the tenth house in Scorpio and debilitated Venus is placed in the eighth house in Virgo, the equation may become worse. The native may lose his mother before his age of 30 years and she may die because of a terminal disease. If a malefic combination of Saturn and Mercury is placed in the sixth house in Cancer and Mars is placed in the eighth house in Virgo with Venus, the equation may become more troublesome. In this case, the native may lose his mother, any time before his age of 12 years and she may die because of a fatal disease.
Apart from these, malefic exalted Moon in the fourth house of horoscope can trouble the native with several other problems, depending on his overall horoscope.
