1) Gaja-Kesari yoga : Jupiter is in Kendra (quadrant) in 4th house from strong and waxing Moon is strong Gaja-Kesari raja yoga. So she enjoys GAJA—KESARI yogam. Gaja-kesari yogoyam Chandra-kendre Bruhaspathihi; Gaja-kesari yoga sanjatho, subha-yogam, satha aayu praapthihi. This occurred in 11th house (Laabha sthaana); so it is very good; she gets financial benefits from this yoga. She will be very rich and prosperous; she has good longevity. 2) Budha-Aditya raja-yogam: In Rasi chart Mercury and Sun are conjunct in 4th house (Sri Narayana sthaanam).

Business is very profitable to her; so she and her husband started a big clinilcal laboratory, on their own. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Effects of Mercury in 4th house: Views of renowned astrologers : 1) Saint-Astrologer Maharshi Parasara (Great grand-father of Pandavas and Kauravas of Mahabharatha epic; father of Maharshi Veda Vyasa) wrote : (sloka = Sanskrit verse) :- SATH VAAHANAI, PRAASADA, BHOO, DHANA, DHAANYA VRUDHI SAMETHA NRUTHYA, ABHITUCHIRA MANUSHYAHA; VIDYA-VIBHOOSHANA, AAGAMANA-VETHA, DHEESAALI, PATHAALAGAE SEETHALA-KIRANA SOONO = IF BUDHA IS IN 4TH HOUSE, THE PERSON ENJOYS VERY LUXURIOUS & PRINCELY LIFE-STYLE; HE OWNS CARS, HOMES, LANDS, GARDENS, & PROPERTIES WORTH BILLIONS OF DOLLARS; HE IS HIGLY EDUCATED, HAS TASTE FOR MUSIC & DANCE; HE ENJOYS HIGH STATUS & PRINCELY LIFE; HIS MOTHER ENJOYS HAPPINESS, HALE & HEALTH & LONG LIFE SPAN. 2) Bhrigu Sutras- by saint-astrologer Maharishi Bhrigu (3500 BC):-- Suthra (32) :- Hastha-chaapalyavaan; dhairyavaan, visaala-akshaha, pithru, mathtru soukha-yuthaha; Suthra (33) :- jnana-vaan, sukhee; Suthra (34) :- Shodasa varshe, dravya-apahaara- roopena, dhana-vaan, aneka vaahanavaan ; Suthra (35) :- Bhava-adhipo bala-yuthe, aandolika praapthihi; Suthra (36) :- Rahu, Ketu, Sani-yuthe. Vaahana, arishtavaan; Suthara (37) :- Kshethra-sukha varjithaha, bandhu, kula-drohi, bandhu-kula dveshi, kapati = If Mercury is in the fourth house, the native will have very active hands, he will be patient, will have broad eyes and happiness from parents. He will be learned and happy. In his 16th year he will acquire wealth by questionable means and acquire many kind of conveyances. If the lord of the 4th house is strong he will have palanquin as his conveyance. If Mercury is associated with Rahu, Ketu or Saturn the native will be deprived of the comforts of conveyances. He will have no land, will have bitterness with his relations and will be deceitful.
Explanation :-- Very beneficial results have been ascribed to Mercury in the fourth house when he is alone or when the lord of the 4th is strong. Evil effects have been indicated when Mercury is associated with Saturn, Rahu or Ketu. In Sutra 32, does he mean to say that the native will be clever in handicrafts ? In the same Sutra it is said that the native will have broad eyes. Neither Mercury nor the fourth house have anything to do with eyes. This statement therefore seems to be irrelevant. We also feel that in Sutra 34 the meaning of the Sutra will then be that in his 16th year he will get wealth as a gift. In the fourth house Mercury will be in a Kendra to the ascendant. His disposition therefore in his own sign or in his sign .of exaltation (Gemini and Virgo) will give rise to Bhadra yoga (a Panch maha-purusha yoga); the effects of which are as under:-
"The person born in Bhadra yoga will be strong, will have a lion-like face, well developed chest, well proportioned limbs, he will be taciturn, will help relatives and will live up to a good old age." The following horoscope of the late Dr. S. Radha Krishnan, former President of India is a good illustration of Bhadra yoga.
3)Brihath Jataka by Varhamihira (325 AC) :-- The person concerned will be learned.
4) Phala-deepika by Manthreswara :-- The native will be learned, a flatterer, wealthy, will own lands and have good friends. He will also be happy.
6)Saravali by Maha-Raja Kalyana Varma (10th century A.C; king of Vyaghrapaada kingdom) :-- The native will be wealthy, will have good relations, will own conveyances and good clothes. He will also be learned. 6) Chamatkara Chintamani by Narayana Bhatt (5th century AC) :-- The native will be wise. He will have enjoyments with his friends. He will be Chief Accountant of the Government Secretariat. He will be deprived of ancestral property.
My views :- All the above astrologers agree that Mercury in the fourth house gives beneficial results, in accordance with the significations of that house. Chamatkar Chintamani, however, says that Mercury in the fourth will deprive the native of his ancestral property. This is likely to happen if the lord of the fourth house is placed in 6th , 8th or the 12th house or Mercury is in the 4th as lord of these evil houses.
