violent water; it is calm and soothing like mothers love. So in order to gain knowledge, the student ofthis science needs to be ‘Calm’ (key) and for the 4H to prosper you need to have movement (waterysign) in this house, so your information (education) should move and cannot be holed up, as stagnantwater will one day create diseases. That is the reason they say for an astrologer, if one does not havevices yet suffers from heart disease (4H), then one has holed up the knowledge, if there are bloodpressure problems then as blood is not flowing properly, knowledge from your heart (4h)) does not flowproperly. If your knowledge is not pure then your heart swells giving you ego and attitudinal problems(5H) as the 2 nd from 4H is 5H of attitude, and 2 nd from any house is the gains of that house. That is thereason they say in ancient India that when they see an astrologer showing off information (education)that he did not have a good guru, for if he had, this would not be the result at all. The ‘Last Book ofAstrology’ says ‘The weight of Knowledge is so much; man cannot bear it hence he bends down due tothe weight (gets humbled) ‐ that is the reason one with true knowledge would always be humble, neverhave ego, never get angry or run others down on the subject of knowledge.’ Sign ruling the 4H whetherfixed, dual, moveable, airy, fiery all will add further color to your approach to education & level oflearning, it’s a natural watery sign (Cancer), if fire element comes here in 4H its not comfortable.Suppose fiery sign/fire element has come in watery sign in 4H, then water becomes hot and boils andevaporates, finally no water. So if one’s house (home) catches fire then it means one has donesomething drastically wrong with ones knowledge (4H) as fire on water is naturally not possible,against nature and Mother (4H) nature is angry with you or it could also mean among many other thingsthat your students are going to deceive you soon as students 1 is 5H and 12 th from it (4H) will show theloss of 5H or one has misused ones mantras (5H of mantra) hence there is fire in your home (12 th from5H). Hence astrologers in India do not speak about fire 2 in one’s home for they know this rule if theylearnt astrology from the way tradition teaches you that is Natural Zodiac or Kaala Purusha Kundali.4H is mother and education and that is the reason Mother Saraswati is considered the Goddess ofLearning in India, she is not called just Saraswati but addressed as Maa Saraswati 3 . 4H of natural zodiacis Cancer sign which as per our texts mean ‘residing in forest’ hence to gain real knowledge one must gointernal in seclusion & not external in forums or organizations, become quiet and calm like the waterenergy of Cancer. That is the reason it is said ‘Astrology is the knowledge of Monks’ (Jyotish Sanyasiyoka Vidya Hain) since they are always secluded. Remember Linda Goodman secluded herself from therest and became the No.1 author, the first to come on New York Times Best Seller List.2 nd2 nd from 4H of education is the 5H it is gain of education that gives you knowledge & intelligence (5Hmatter) and you feel proud at times due to your education as 5h of the natural zodiac is ruled by Leo theLion who resides in forest and hence for gain of knowledge (5H) one must become secluded whereAstrology becomes your religion. But if knowledge becomes a tool for your ego or fame (5H) then yourintelligence (5H) gets marred and what you write (3 rd is writing, so 3 rd from 3 rd which is 5H is theResultant House. the 3 rd house of writing) can become egoistical & this ego becomes a harm inflictor(marak) to the 4H of education thereby stopping your further growth of the 4H. In Vedic astrology the2 nd from any house is the house of sustenance and thus if you do not sustain anything properly this same2 nd house becomes a ‘Harm Inflictor’ for the previous house. If you have malefics in the 5H ofintelligence or aspecting it (e.g. Saturn, Nodes) then your intelligence will become marred as you cross36 years of age & worse after 42, the ages of Saturn & Rahu or till those age it will be marred, dependingon the sign. If a retrograde malefic influences this house then you will misuse what you gained (5 th is 2 ndfrom 4 th house) from your education of previous life as you grow old. Most astrologers say this to scareparents (that a child’s education will suffer a break when such malefics influence) to sell remedies and1 Please keep in mind that the whole article is in context of our discussion of astrologers learning/knowledge gain.2 Somehow no one bothers to ask what was the karma, what was the esoteric reason behind burning of the ancient libraries of NalandaUniversity & Royal Library of Alexandria. There has to be a karmic reason. What sin did we all commit that our knowledge got burntdown.3 There are various schools of thoughts on this, normally we take 5H as Creation (Brahma) & 4H as Saraswati Goddess, but in Tibetanregions they take the reverse for deities of various houses for remedies. Sticking to Brahma for 5H can seem logical as 5H is children andyou create (brahma) / give birth to your children.12
