"The care of the root of a thing -
this is the usage of experienced men.
If the root is sound, the juices,
which implement the maturing of the fruit, will be protected." ~~ Ramayana, Kishkindha Kanda,
Ch. 65
We only have one political party in the U.S., and that is the property party,
which has two right wings. ~~ Gore Vidal
Secure Shells, Shields, and Shelters
-
Domain-4 rules the childhood home, the
parents, shelters and shields
on mental, physical, emotional, and
spiritual levels; for example the physical protection afforded by buildings
and vehicles, or the social protection afforded by education.
Bandhu: bindings and bondage
-
Bandhu bhava binds via cultural roots,
usually more strongly through the mother's birth culture; through patriotism and the
homeland; through childhood schooling and
indoctrination into the cultural manners of one's people
-
Bandhu binds to the land through
entitlements of ownership or stewardship; such as deeds of title to landed
roperties and
vehicles.
-
Bandhu binds to society through licensing and
qualifying examinations , diplomas, licenses, proof of
schooling.
Politics of Patriotism and Protectionism
-
Most politicians have strength in either
domain-4, 4th-from-Chandra, or graha in Karkata rashi.
-
The more of these
patriotic factors that are present, the stronger is the need, conviction, and
rhetoric about homeland roots, security, possession of properties, and boundary defense
.
Stability, Foundation, Seat; Vehicles
-
Parents, caretakers, and school-teachers provide one's foundations
in life
-
Domain-4 rules vehicles which provide protected
movement using a shell, a foundation, and a seat (the
vehicle's shell may be very basic such as a barge raft, but the shell
still provides a minimal protection from the surrounding air, water,
fire, earth etc.)
|
1st-from-4th
(body parts, physical level)
The Moon is our Mother
Comfort |
Domain-4 rules conditions in the childhood
home and the old-age home. As 9th-from-8th, shows one's
understanding of the conditions of one's own death, and emotional
response to those conditions.
-
To know what was going
on in a person's heart at the time of their death, look into
domain-4.
-
To find the familiar behavior
which brings most comfort to the native (whether the behavior be
positive or negative), look into Bandhu Bhava.
Bandhu bhava the house of Earth Root is called
the basis of the incarnation.
-
Ethno-Cultural Roots
-
Early childhood and old-age Home;
comfort
-
Fundamental emotional and social security;
ownership and stewardship entitlements
-
Work toward securing and protecting
one's society
-
indoctrination =
basic schooling levels of
education which facilitate a stable society:
-
maternal "immersion" training of
child in the manners and customs of one's people. Basic
personal legitimacy established in bandhu bhava, during the
first seven years of life.
-
formal education that develops
post-maternal cultural competency training, such as
(varies by culture): ethnic dance skills, literacy or numeracy
skills, skill-based crafts, skill training in arts and
sciences
-
preparation for established social
roles, such as (varies by culture): physician, teacher,
blacksmith, mechanic, psychologist, shaman, fisherman, parent,
priest, etc.
-
Some societies have a small number of
social roles; others have hundreds of defined roles and
elaborate educational pathways toward achieving legitimate
practice rights in those roles (e.g., USA financial
licensing, Ph.D. or M.D.) With the breakdown of traditional
families in the modern West, the USA has recently initiated
"parent training" certification.
-
educational certification
that gives proof of entitlement to act in a
socially responsible role: examinations, licensing, and
diplomas.
-
Patriotism,
nationalism, loyalty to caste, class, tribe, or nation
-
Defense of the nation, "Homeland
Security"
-
Land
ownership; care of the land, the Motherland
-
Social validation of "Property"
("belongs to me"), defense of property, and laws of
entitlement to ownership (varies by culture).
-
Social
Conformism and punishment for non-conformity
-
Mines,
subterranean events, Under-layer, bottom of things, basis or
foundation.
-
Foundations
of a building. Basement of a building. Underground storage and shelter,
hidden silos (for grain, weapons, or any hoard). [See domain-2,
for what sort of things the native is hoarding in this life.]
-
The lower realms of the spirit world.
-
Graves, underground burials.
-
The
special stabilizing and endurance-giving nutritive properties of plants which grow underground
(root vegetables).
-
Cooking, nurturing, home-making,
protecting,
supporting, care-taking. Gardening, care of the Earth.
-
Primary
care-takers of any person, whether or not the care-takers are
blood relatives.
Domani-2 determines family of origin, but
domain-4 shows the secure, legitimate maintenance roles which
interact to form a secure and predictable society. Agents of
domain-4 need not be members of the same family, but they will have
strong cultural values in common.
Education:
-
Educational practices of dharma bhava are not
targeted toward maintaining a stable earthly society but rather
toward maintaining a structured set of interactions with
heaven.
The indoctrination and secure-society
goals of education in domain-4 are naturally at variance with the
wisdom-acquisition goals of higher religious training of domain-9. In the Jyotisha charts, domains 4 and 9 are
naturally positioned in an adversarial 6/8 angle.
Scope of entitlement and foundations of
emotional security:
-
Domain-4 is the foundational house of the
incarnation.
-
Entitlement to social support, protection, and
legitimacy established in bandhu bhava, in childhood and throughout
the indoctrination process, will define the native's sense of
"belonging" throughout life.
-
Damage to bandhu bhava indicates instability
in the childhood home, and adult difficulties to establish a secure,
comfortable, approved, and legitimated place in society. Shani in
domain-4 or ruling bandhu bhava gives beneficial results through
socially approved skills training,
Over
time.
Psychology
-
When a person feels insecure and
"defensive", one will begin expressing
emotional
grievances of domain-4 -- particularly any karmic issues
there.
-
For example (but not limited to!) deprivation
of property ownership or licensing, need for fences or barriers,
national defense, us-and-them, deprivation of education, deprivation
of parental protection. This is the language of exposure,
insecurity, ungroundedness, un-belonging, lack of preparation or
protection.
-
Fundamentally, disruption of domain-4
significes an absence of unconditional love from the earthly
mother.

"From the fourth house know the mother, conveyance, relatives,
State Protection, house, friend, and arms. "
-- Madhya Parashari, Ch. 9 , Shloka 4
"House property, land and agricultural fields, maternal uncle, a sister's son, relatives, friends, conveyance (vehicular), mother,
cattle wealth, scents and perfumes, dress material and garments, jewelry, happiness
(sukha), the nadir, Hibuka , water, bridge and river are the names to indicate the 4th house.
"
-- Phaladeepika, Ch1, Shloka 11-12
Chandra =
Karaka for Mother vs. Mother = Domain-4
-
Chandra represents one's emotional Self.
The emotional Self is created through one's relationship to one's mother.
Therefore Chandra is a karaka for emotion in general; and in particular
Chandra is karaka for one's childhood process of building a coherent emotional
Self from repeated emotional experiences.
-
Mother is typically the agent and referee
of those core emotional experiences, so Mother and Self are very closely
aligned.
-
Indeed, the bond of this core survival
relationship is so intense and absolute that one may not be able to
distinguish oneself from one's mother until age seven or later.
-
Domain-4 represents The childhood home.
Because Mother is normally the absolute determiner of conditions in one's
childhood home, domain-4 in effect also represents the Mother or primary
caregivers who function in the Mother role.
-
But more accurately, domain-4 represents
the mother's affairs, conditions in the early childhood home, family lands
and property, and all The mother's estate.
-
Whether mother is queen over a few tin pots
or a vast field of wealth, mother's estate, and her child's experience of
forming its own Self in that estate, is seen in domain-4.
The
astrological picture of mother, security, lands, vehicles and schooling

-
Hormone-producing glandular system

-

-
the Sheltering, Protective, Holding behaviors of the body which involve chest, arms and hands in their nurturing
function
(in their communicative function, arms/hands belong to Mithuna;
The
pumping heart which is the seat of the
Divine in the physical body actually belongs to Simha/5, although
naturally there are very strong associations between the emotional,
place-loving heart as the root of being and bandhu bhava. However the 5-4
relationship between heart and chest is similar to the 5-4 relationship
between intelligence and education; )
If the Jyotisha nativity features a strong bandhu sthana, expect the fourth chakra
region of the physical body to function well.
Conversely, malefic planets affecting bandhu bhava may lead to dis-ease in the chest region.
Personal Stability
Regularity of personal habit may be seen through conditions of
bandhu bhava, and also via Chandra and Shani. Shani is not problematic in bandhu
Inauspicious graha in domain-4 (such as Kuja or Rahu)
Roots
that Bind
B Andhu bhava or the 4th house is the
root or foundation house of the entire
rashi chart. While Moon and lagna will describe the native's physical
body, Moon and bandhu bhava will tell about the astral or emotional
body.
Cancer, the natural fourth sign, signifies bondage. Bondage is positive bonding when it manifests in an unconditional supportive
relationship. Bondage is positive boundaries when it manifests
in owning a house with lands, or feeling patriotic.
At a dysfunctional
body level, the disease called cancer results from the physical body clinging to
waste cells. These sticky waste cells bond to each other to form
tumors. Most healers acknowledge that the emotional pattern of clinging to
the past accompanies the cellular bondage disease.
Mother
and Emotional Security
Most basic of all roots in human life is connection to mother. Bandhu
bhava along with Moon profiles the mother in radix. (Check
Dwadashamsha
Moon or 4th house for additional details on mother.) Also in bandhu
sthana, see
mothering, care-taking, stewardship, and nurturing roles of all kinds.
Effect of the Mother seen via the child's chart:
-
Chandra
-
Bandhu
bhava and L-4
-
4th-from-Chandra
-
Dwadashamsha
D-12: 4th-from-lagna - or -
4th-from-Chandra [whichever is stronger]
Mother provides the core emotional security,
the fundamental sense of being good and valuable, and having a place,
belonging. If things are going well in the mother house and with the
Moon, the native will have good emotional and psychic grounding, and a
pleasant emotional nature, which is the basis of all happiness in human life.
Stepfather
Usually the step-father or next-father is also the mother's second husband,
but there can be other arrangements. The "next" father -
however this man gained that position - is indicated by several profile
elements, including:
-
8th-from-Surya. Check this lord's role in both
radix and navamsha.
-
8th-from-9th,
domain-4
-
Mother's divorce and mother's second marriage =
2nd-from-Chandra
-
lord of 8th-from-Surya in Dwadashamsha
will give confirmation of stepfather relationship in the native's life
If 8th-from-Surya = strong or receiving strong drishti, the
step-father will have a strong personality. Maybe too strong, involvement of
Kuja or a dusthamsha lord can be overbearing or combative.
If 8th-from-Surya = a dusthamsha, the stepfather will be a
problematic agent for the native.
Even if 8th-from-Surya = a dusthamsha, benefics in
8th-from-Surya may = benefits coming to native through agency of the
stepfather
Home, Land, Buildings,
Properties
Most questions about property ownership, roots in the land,
inherited lands, stewardship of the land, buildings, structures, the roof over
one's own head (or lack thereof), and the fate of nations, can be answered by
examining the fourth house and its attributes.
Most permanent possessions
such as furniture are included in bandhu, as is hidden treasure.
One of the best yogas for material wealth is to have the
family values grounded in the land ownership house:
"If Dhana's lord is in Bandhu Bhava, the native will
acquire all kinds of wealth."
~~
BPHS -- Ch. 24, shloka 16
-
Other vital forms of shelter and protection include
clothing and vehicles of all kinds.
-
Bandhu profiles the quality and
quantity of one's personal wardrobe, as well as all details of one's road vehicle
whether one rides on a donkey, elephant, palanquin, a public bus, or a racing Ferrari. (However
for trade in textiles see domains of Budha = sahaja bhava and
Ari
bhava.)
-
Road
accidents are determined by examining Mangala and Shukra, and any malefic
effects on bandhu bhava. The Shodashamsha
Or D-16 is a
fine-tuning for matters of vehicles. D-16 will confirm whether the
vehicle would be damaged or not, or whether passengers might be harmed.
Wider health-related issues which often stem from a road accident can be seen
in D-30
Trimshamsa.
-
Dhana
bhava profiles the family's values. Dhana controls the individual's
basic moral education, knowledge of tribal history, and education through the
oral tradition.
-
Bandhu bhava profiles the formal education in broad cultural
behaviors provided by the larger society, and the social security gained
through conforming to public standards. (It is
said that the two great desires of human nature are the urge to mate and the
urge to conform.)
-
Bandhu bhava rules
basic
formal education. A strong fourth house signifies that the
individual will complete the basic schooling required to hold a government
job. In some nations, that means 10th class; in other nations, that
means a university diploma; but in all cases, if bandhu is weak, there is a
shortfall in formal education which deprives the person of full security in
society.
-
Because it profiles the fundamental emotional nature which is
determined through the relationship with one's mother, Bandhu is known as the
"source of all ambitions."
Profession
and Public Reputation of
spouse/partner
-
As 7th-from-10th,
Bandhu also shows the partner behind one's public
standing. If bandhu is strong, the couple both have dignity, and
together they will support each other as they rise in public status.
-
As 10th-from-7th,
bandhu bhava will display the dignity, rank, and professional
status of the primary partner in both marriage and business.
-
If the native has a powerful 4th house,
your first spouse is likely to have a good public reputation. Concurrently,
significations of your personal bandhu bhava -- your home, vehicles, and
emotional stability -- are all improved.
-
Troubles in the 4th house, such as
unfavorable transits, can wreak havoc on the spouse's or business partner's
public reputation, dignity, or professional status. The partner may suffer
job loss which has obvious effects on your emotional stability and your
home.
-
A steady but low-status 4th house,
such as a bandhu bhava owned and/or aspected by Shani, indicates
the first spouse's regular work habits. He will serve faithfully in a
steady manual labor position, and feel he must carry the world upon his
shoulders..
For career of second
spouse ,
see 10th-from-2nd, or labha
bhava.
Third spouse is 10th-from-9th, or
For career of second
spouse ,
see 10th-from-2nd, or labha
bhava.
Third spouse's career is 10th-from-9th, or Ari
bhava. Etc.
Fourth
marriage
If the 7th rashi and the 7th
navamsha suggest multiple
marriages, then we will find the profile of the 4th
spouse in Bandhu Bhava. As always, we find the 4th spouse's
wealth in 2nd-from-4th or
putra
bhava, 4th spouse's siblings in 3rd-from-4th
or ari bhava, 4th spouse's home and mother in
4th-from-4th or yuvati
bhava,
etc.
Like the nature of Bandhu Sthana
itself, the fourth marriage is all about roots. If Bandhu is stable, the
4th marriage partner (when indicated) resembles one's mother. The fourth
partner hails from a similar cultural background. [Of course if Rahu or
Saturn aspect or occupy Bandhu, the fourth partner could be lower class than
native, foreigner, etc. according to occupying malefic. Don't forget to
check 4th navamsha!]
Ceteris paribus, the
fourth marriage is secure, emotionally cyclical, prefers a hearth-based or
kitchen-based lifestyle, focused
on property, roots, and belonging to a place. Often deeply involved with the
cycle of natural seasons and the tides, particularly coastal lands where
the ocean borders the human habitation. If Chandra is strong in a watery
sign, may be grounded in a water-based lifestyle such as living on a boat.
Typical
implications = stronger if radix L-4 = Saturn or Moon. The fourth marriage
may not be too interesting, overly lively, or a sexual hothouse (unless Rahu
is with the L-4 or Rahu in 4). Unless there are disruptive,
counter-cyclical graha in 4, the fourth marriage =
grounded in the ethnic practice particularly the customs of
the mother's people, and protection of the land.
A loving
atmosphere in your home is the foundation for your life.
If your divination
skills include Tarot cards, you may find a correspondence between the energy
state of Bandhu Sthana and
Ten of
Pentacles.
