Sun (Surya) · 4th House (Bandhu/Mother/Comforts)
Sun (Surya) in the 4th House
The 4th house is where the Sun has the least directional strength, and the classical verdict on its comforts is cautious: restlessness at home, friction with relatives or the mother, effort spent on land, property and vehicles.

- The house
- 4th House (Bandhu/Mother/Comforts) — Mother, home, properties, vehicles, inner peace, homeland, primary education.
- The planet
- Sun: a natural malefic of royal temperament — the significator (karaka) of the soul, the father, authority, vitality and government
- Kind of house
- a kendra (angular house)
- Directional strength
- None — its strongest house is the 10th
- Aspects from here
- the 10th house (7th from itself)
- Its mahadasha
- 6 years
The texts also see the native living away from the place of birth, with authority coming through public or government work rather than inherited ease.
Calm, regular routines at home and patient handling of property paperwork are the practical remedies; administration, real estate and public service suit it.
Which sign falls in the 4th house depends on the lagna, and the sign changes Sun's strength there. For a Capricorn (Makara) lagna this house holds Aries (Mesha), where Sun is exalted; for a Cancer (Karka) lagna it holds Libra (Tula), where it is debilitated.

Sun mahadasha runs 6 years. This placement speaks most clearly then — in Sun's own mahadasha, in its antardashas inside other mahadashas, and in the dasha of the lord of the 4th house. Saturn's and Jupiter's transits over this house, or over the planet itself, wake it too.
Sun mahadasha: what its 6 years bring · See your own dasha — the dasha calculator
- Chant the Sun mantra: Om Hraam Hreem Hraum Sah Suryaya Namah. Sit facing east after sunrise — Sunday is the strongest day for it. Chant 2 malas a day (216 repetitions), keeping count on a 108-bead mala. Keep it up for 40 days without a break — that completes the traditional 7,000.
- Give a Sun donation. Give wheat, jaggery, copper on Sunday, before noon. Offer it to an elderly man or a father figure, or to anyone in genuine need. Give quietly, in person, without expecting thanks.
- Daily practice for Sun. Offer water to the Sun at sunrise; respect your father and those in authority. Keep it up every day for 40 days — consistency is the remedy.
