The Fourth house is the foundation of our life because it is our emotional strength and groundedness. How we feel at any given time will determine our actions (tenth house). If your emotional outlook is filled with turmoil and negativity, this will reflect in our actions. This nodal position is one of the most critical nodal positions and must be handled well by the native or it can wreak havoc in their life. The reason this position is important is because of Rahu in the fourth house.
The foundation of our primary emotional security is given to us by our mother. When Rahu occupies the fourth house, that foundation has been established in a chaotic, unreliable fashion or it has not been established at all. The person does not have a firm emotional/spiritual level of solidity. That is something new they must develop indicated by Rahu. They do this through inner work and contemplation.
The fourth house indicates where the Sun is at midnight. It is the darkest point and the innermost point. The outermost point is where the Sun is at noon. This is the midheaven. Ketu is here indicating the person’s security comes from doing actions. They are not in touch with their feelings enough to understand the reasons behind their motivations. Their choices are not made based on how they really feel.
These people have a high capacity for activity. They tell themselves that if hey succeed in activity, usually through their work or career, then their lives are secure and they do not have to worry. Because the actions are not based on emotional truth due to Rahu in the fourth house, the activities do not give satisfaction or fulfillment.
The tenth house is where we are seen. Ketu in the tenth perform actions so they can be seen and secondarily to get status and respect. People with this position will oftentimes end up competing with their partner.
The person had a false mother influence in their life. Rahu is where we pretend, something about the mother was fake, false or pretending. The person usually does not have a good relationship with their mother. If they do, there is usually something missing.
Due to the lack of a strong emotional foundation, the native feels unloved or unappreciated and small transgressions or misunderstandings can trigger these feelings. As a result, they react in anger or fear and will push away those that may try to love them. It is important for the native to dive deep into their heart and soul and face the darkest part of themselves, the part where Rahu resides. The native needs to sit down, shut-up and be with their feelings. The native should lay around and do nothing for a certain amount of time each day. They should not watch TV, read, write, do nothing except listen to their feelings. When they sort out and get in touch with their feelings, they can begin to make progress spiritually because the fourth house is a Moksha house, a house of liberation and an element of emotional happiness and peace must be acquired before ego-identification can be discarded.
Sometimes Rahu in the fourth will cause a person not to feel happiness or satisfaction from their actions. If the person has violent tendencies, Rahu in the fourth will cause them to do violent, terrible actions without conscience inhibiting them.
Regarding relationships, oftentimes, they end up unhappy because they are so out of touch with their feelings and cannot emotionally connect with their partner in a fulfilling way or the partner they are with is not right for them. They may have chosen the partner for reasons other than feeling. This position can indicate a lack of passion because the person is learning what they really love, what emotionally motivates them. When they do understand this part of themselves, then they can ignite their passion.
To feel vibrant and alive, we should choose to do actions based on what we love, what emotionally motivates us. To feed these actions, we must strive to improve them and make them better through more actions which is the tenth house.
Rahu in the fourth can also give the person a false idea about how others are feeling so they will come across as insensitive or cruel. This position gives a lack of self-awareness and the person does not judge correctly what others think of them or when they are in danger or intensely disliked. They can feel that people blow up at them for no reason. It is because their gage on feelings, their own and those of others, is faulty.
The fourth house is where we form a deeper understanding of the knowledge and wisdom of the past. Rahu in the fourth will cause a person to reject this wisdom from the past and have a distaste for the past in general. They do this because they cannot understand what those from the past were trying to convey and translate that into modern terms.
Another indication of this placement is the person tends to change their mind quite often. Because they are not in touch with how they really feel, the wind of opinions and desires can blow them in many different directions. The biggest favor and most healing advice are for them to get in touch with their feelings. This cannot be emphasized enough. Until they do this, attempting the realignment of their True Self is nearly impossible.
