Sun, Saturn and Ketu in the 4th house at a glance
When Surya + Shani + Ketu (Sun + Saturn + Ketu) share a sign, a yuti, the chart fuses Sun’s the soul, authority and vital life-force, Saturn’s discipline, karma and hard-earned maturity 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
Surya (Sun) in the 4th houseMalefic
Genuine difficulty: the Sun scorches the house of the mother, home and inner peace, giving restlessness, some distance from the mother, and blood-pressure or heart tendencies.
Shani (Saturn) in the 4th houseMalefic
One of Saturn’s hardest seats, said honestly: sitting on the house of the mother and inner peace it gives discontent, emotional coldness, some distance from the mother and property delays, with peace arriving only late.
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.
Where each is strong or weak by sign:

| Surya (Sun) | Malefic | Leo | Aries | Libra |
| Shani (Saturn) | Malefic | Capricorn, Aquarius | Libra | Aries |
