Every person born will chase their own pursuit of happiness, some may find it in work, relationships, charity, gossiping, travelling, singing, meditation, tapasya, etc. The underlying theme is the magic of the fourth lord in the natal chart. Whenever your fourth lord (depositor of the fourth house) is placed, that house becomes the reason for your joy or happiness. Now, if we have 12 zodiac signs and 9 planets in Jyotisha. So we can do the math how many such possibilities can exist, on top of that we have the nakshatras as well. Let us say your fourth lord is in the third house, so the activities connected to the third house will bring you joy. The planet will determine which type of happiness it will bestow upon the native. Some people find happiness in trying different dishes and exquisite cuisines, which means the second house is influenced by the fourth lord. If the fourth lord is in the tenth house, your work or achievements bring you joy, in the eleventh house; a wide social circle or a crowd will bring you joy. The nakshatra will narrow down the theme even more, and finally the shastiamsa deities (D60) will hit the bullseye. Everybody’s benchmark for happiness is different. If, say, the fourth lord is in the shastiamsa deity of Kinnara, then the person will become co-dependent on that house for happiness. It is because Kinnara deities are for the court of Indra and they don’t operate independently. Hence, when a native has that as the fourth lord they will also not operate independently. Isn’t it amazing how powerful the shastiamsa deities and the classical stories are. No psychological journal will teach you this, not because they are incompetent but because they don’t have the required data or materials that have withstood the test of time. To study the psyche and the hidden traits is not psychology or the psychologists’ cup of tea. One has to come to the knowledge of Jyotisha. A recent chart that comes to my mind, a movie star whose fourth lord is in the eleventh house in the shastiamsa of Kubera. Now, the person already comes from an affluent family, and his happiness will come from social gathering and crowds. But since the shastiamsa is Kubera, another interesting story of Kubera was — when he was blinded by Lord Shiva because he was looking at intimate moments of Lord Shiva and Devi Parvati. So the natives who have this shastiamsa will at least once in their life find the theme; where they will witness someone copulating and then get into trouble if they continue to watch. If not, then this is the shastiamsa that gives rise to voyeurism in the native. And someone from this celebrity’s circle, on camera mentioned that he took him to watch horse mating at his farmhouse. Do you think psychology has the depth to catch up ever, other than jargon and useless journals?
