Astrology can guide you to know whether building or buying property is possible or not. Your Birth chart indicates the probable period of building or purchasing a home or land. We can find through astrology, on the basis of placement of planets in the birth chart/horoscope through dasha and antardasha period. An astrologer can guide you to whether it is favorable or unfavorable time or you can own property/House/Apartment/Land/Plot/Flat or not.
Some people are lucky in property. They inherit property from their parents or ancestors. But not everyone is lucky. So they have to make their own effort to get home or property. Let us check planetary combinations in the horoscope/birth chart that indicates whether you can build or buy a home/apartment/plot/land/flat etc.
Since buying property is not easy, and very expensive nowadays. It needs to be checked for any “dhan yoga” combination of wealth in the birth chart. It will tell you the capacity to finance and own a home, number of homes to be owned, real estate investing, managing, etc. And also quality, size and best location for the home. The 4th House represents land, home, property and real estate. Mars is the karaka (significator) or indicator for property and land. A well placed Mars in the birth chart shows a person’s ability to benefit from home ownership. Saturn is associated with a large area of undeveloped land or land that might be used for agriculture. Venus indicates the elegance of the land and buildings we might obtain. The overall strength of the chart would indicate the level of ownership.
The ruler of the 4th house and the planets occupying or aspecting the 4th house tell us the nature of home/property ownership. A person with weak connection to the 4th will often not feel ‘’at home’’ in some places and they may move from building to building over time. If they buy real estate, they need to be careful that they buy in the right location for the right price. Since they have more obstruction to the favourable ownership of a house. The person with an afflicted 4th house might not enjoy the burden of home ownership and live in a small place like a condominium or rented house. People with Venus and Jupiter in the 4th house generally are home builders or nesters. People with Rahu in 4th house do well with real estate for short periods of time. Ketu in the 4th house often leads to intermittent stays in a location. Ketu can even cause breakage and cracks in the building and need to be careful while buying property. One should also look for planets in the 10th house, because planets in the 10th house aspect 4th house which also shed lights on home ownership. e.g. If Mars exalted in 10th house and aspect 4th house from 10th house the person has destiny of home, land, and good property. 4th Divisional chart Chaturthamsa (D-4) is also used for accessing the property related matters.
Transits/Timing of Homeownership:
People ask about many question regarding home buying e. g. When could I take a loan, open and close a contract, start building a house or start construction for home. People also ask questions about when they can enter for the first time to begin residence (Graha Pravesh) or when should a building be inaugurated or operated to the public etc.
The answer for all these types of questions is that when Mars transit over your 4th or 10th house from the Ascendant or Moon in the birth chart is to be a good time to buy or sell a house. Transit of Sun over the 4th or 10th from Ascendant or Moon Lagna are also favorable for short term identification of sell or buy time period zone. For a long time the most people will either move or remodel their homes when Saturn transits their 4th and 10th house in a birth chart. A transit of Ketu over the 4th house often compels a person to modify their home in some way. Perhaps redecorate or get the need to consult with a vastu consultant to rearrange their living place or to feel moved to another place.
Transit of Jupiter in the 4th House can bring opportunity to buy and have a big home. Jupiter is considered the great benefic or God grace. Jupiter always tries to give happiness where it is situated in the chart and transit in the house. So when it transit in the 4th house it gives opportunity to buy a big home or property. If you are looking to buy a home and Jupiter transiting in your 4th house you may have great success. Jupiter might provide you a good deal in prices of home/property. This is one of the best astrological transits for buying a home/property.
Transit of New Moon in the 4th house also helped with a home purchase. Start s looking when a New Moon transits in your fourth house. The New Moon favorably influences beginnings of any kind. When transiting in your fourth house, it gives a boost to anything you start related to home.
Keep an eye on Mercury, Mars, Saturn Retrogression, when it’s time to make any deal. When these planets retrograde they can create a lot of confusion in communication and understanding. It could affect the paperwork, so make sure these planets should be in direct motion.
One should not buy Home/Property on Tuesday, Saturday, and Sunday. These days represent conflicts, delays, frustration, and suffering related to property. Try to buy on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. These days are good, auspicious and non conflicting days.
Loss of Property: There are some astrological combinations which may lead to loss of property. There are many combinations, some of are:
If the 4th lord is placed in the 6th, 8th or 12th house. These are the dusthana houses in astrology. The 4th lord placed in these houses property is taken away through conflicts with maternal side, tax, (government action) or some unknown reason.
If the lord of the 4th house is in the 8th house and is afflicted or debilitated, it can deprive a person from property through inheritance.
