Matrudeerghayur Yogas
Definition.-A benefic must occupy the 4th, the 4th lord must be exalted, and the Moon must be strong-A.
The lord of the navamsa occupied by the 4th lord should be strong and occupy a kendra from Lagna as well as Chandra Lagna-B.
Results–The native’s mother will live long.
Remarks.-These two combinations give a clue for ascertaining the longevity of one’s mother. The 4th lord, the Moon and the 4th house must all be strong and free from evil aspects an’d association. Even assuming that the 4th house is afflicted, long life for the mother can be predicted if the Moon is waxing and occupies a friendly place which should be a kendra or a thrikona from the 4th lord.
