Moon and Mars in the 4th house at a glance
When Chandra + Mangala (Moon + Mars) share a sign, a yuti, the chart fuses Moon’s the mind, emotions and nurturing instinct and Mars’s energy, courage and the drive to act, 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). This combination also forms the named Chandra-Mangal Yoga (explained below).
Each graha in the 4th house
Chandra (Moon) in the 4th houseBenefic (waxing) / Malefic (waning)
The Moon on its throne (dig bala): emotional security, a loving mother, property, vehicles and deep inner contentment; its very best seat.
Mangala (Mars) in the 4th houseMalefic
A Mangal dosha seat: anger disturbs the home and the relationship with the mother, with property disputes and a restless domestic life.
Where each is strong or weak by sign:
| Graha | Nature | Own sign | Exalted (uchcha) | Debilitated (neecha) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chandra (Moon) | Benefic (waxing) / Malefic (waning) | Cancer | Taurus | Scorpio |
