Sun, Mercury and Venus in the 4th house at a glance
When Surya + Budha + Shukra (Sun + Mercury + Venus) share a sign, a yuti, the chart fuses Sun’s the soul, authority and vital life-force, Mercury’s intellect, speech and commerce and Venus’s love, beauty and the pleasures of life, 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).
