Moon and Ketu in the 4th house at a glance
When Chandra + Ketu (Moon + Ketu) share a sign, a yuti, the chart fuses Moon’s the mind, emotions and nurturing instinct and Ketu’s detachment, spirituality and liberation, and here all of it works through the 4th house (Bandhu / Sukha), the house of mother, home, comforts and inner happiness (Kendra (angular); natural sign Cancer).
Each graha in the 4th house
Chandra (Moon) in the 4th houseBenefic (waxing) / Malefic (waning)

Ketu (Ketu) in the 4th houseMalefic
Detachment or distance from the mother and home and inner restlessness, a seeker who never fully settles into comfort or property.
