The native constructs a house far from place of birth and has an interest in farming, working with iron, taking part in politics, The person might live in a paternal property with great inconvenience, face mental anguish due to slander, trouble from animals.

Saturn in Aries 4th house
Libertarians who take responsibility for their own personal protection and the safety and security of their loved ones. They prefer to take care of their own land without anyone butting their noses into things. They will work hard to be self sufficient on their land. Strongly acquisitive, identified by the things they own, their wealth portfolio, real estate, vehicles, security and routine. This Saturn seems to be good for the material side of the home, but as a home, it’s dead. There is no true love in their hearts, just fear: fear of loosing what they have, fear they others have more than they have, They have very rigid boundaries that will be difficult to cross. Heavy security, intimidating, proactive. They seem to all be living in the “big house” in one way or another. Size matters to these people. They are usually ready for anything: well trained, weapons, armour, heavy security, they probably have a safe room and a good stock of emergency supplies, contingency plans, back up plans. In some sense it seems like their whole lives might be a rehearsal for invasion. Many of them are thugs, wealthy, exploitive,
Saturn in Ashwini 4th House
Lord of 1st & 2nd houses for Capricorn ascendant.
“A nation that cannot control its borders is not a nation.” Ronald Reagan
“Men are like steel. When they lose their temper, they lose their worth.” “If some thug breaks into my home I can use my roundhouse kick, but I prefer he look down the barrel of my gun.” — Chuck Norris
Strongly Identified with the land, the nation, the home. Conservation of natural resources, and local cultures. Strong borders, strong boundaries, stone walls. The land is likely hot and infertile, possibly pasture land, ranching. The home is a place of work, building foundations and belonging to the land, to the place by hard experience. Cowboys, hard strong people, firmly ground in the local culture, an icon. Mostly libertarian.
Resistant to any new movements in the home, in the local culture. Possible fear of home invasion. Wealth might be invested in land and fixed assets in a way that makes liquid wealth rather hard to come by sometimes. On the other hand, wealth may be stored in the home itself or it may be buried in the back yard. It does support house and land and horses. The house itself may be just a protective shelter, a place of work, cold and lonely; just a house; not a home. Punitive upbringing, harsh rules in the home brings fear. It may be a stone house, but not a very nice one. Stone-wall, harsh boundaries, few are allowed in. Strong family values. They might have hereditary or genetic health issues that affect the whole body since the lord of 1st and 2nd house is debilitated and aspects the 3rd house giving chronic illness.
Ronald Reagan: Saturn conjunct Moon & Rahu with Jupiter aspecting. Mars in Sagittarius. Actor; President. “Government is not a solution to our problem, government is the problem. … Government does not solve problems; it subsidises them.

If it stops moving, subsidise it. … The problem is not that people are taxed too little, the problem is that government spends too much.” “The nine most terrifying words in the English language are “I’m from the government, and I’m here to help.” Saturn Mahadasha 1974 – 1993: Around the start of this period he resigned for state politics and focused on national politics.

Lord of 1st & 2nd houses for Capricorn ascendant.
“Depression surrounds me on all sides – I can’t lift my soul to God – no light or inspiration enters my soul . . . Heaven, what emptiness – not a single thought of Heaven enters my mind – for there is no hope. . . The place of God in my soul is blank.” “People say they are drawn closer to God – seeing my faith. Is this not deceiving people? Every time I have wanted to tell the truth – that I have no faith.” — Mother Teresa
Home is a place of death, of duty, of hard work that never comes to an end. Something is constantly coming up, there is never any relaxation, just anxiety, doubting their sense of belonging, seeds are unable to take root. Heavy affliction could have them living directly on the cremation ground, There is very little security or comfort from the home, mother is unable to carry out her duties leaving the person anxious inside. They might not have really had much of a childhood, having to work from a young age. Some of these natives had heavy duties or chores in the house from a young age, others had to work as dancers, actors, musicians, work work work. Of course, this is not a safest environment for a child. They will no doubt have many experiences of their safety of security being challenged before they will build solid walls with hopes of keeping everyone out of their personal life. But there will always be some kind of invasion of the home. Perhaps they will just learn to keep nothing of value in the home. There are not a lot of comforts or amenities, just there necessities and half off them are broken. Primitive home: maybe they are just never home so the dust accumulates. Or maybe they grow up in the slums or in the hood, hard rocky or even concrete land. There can be house, land, properties, hostels, animals in the house, or people living like animals. This Saturn doesn’t necessarily restrict these 4th house things, it just doesn’t give much attachment or satisfaction from home, school, mother or any of these 4th house things.
These people often become swaggering cowboy style libertarians, libertines, somewhat more disposed to indulge in sensual pleasures than Ashwini placements. They have their guards up. Fear of being attacked in the home which leads them to imposes a heavy handed order in the home for the need of security. Mother can be especially punitive and strict and there can be a lack of comfort and security in the home; a strong sense of restriction and possibly a duty to care for the mother or the parents generally. They will face difficulty in foundational education and early university studies.Most of these natives will not be educated, but if they stick with it they can Mars position will say much about the home, but this Saturn will have a negative effect on the cleanliness of the home,
Roy Rogers: Saturn conjunct Moon & Rahu; aspected by Sun, Jupiter & Mercury. Mars in Taurus. Shortly after he was born, his father and uncle built a house boat from scrap lumber and sailed the family down the Ohio river for a better life. They purchased some land, and then, because of the Great Flood of 1913 (Ketu Saturn) they were able to park the houseboat on the land and continue living in it even after he waters receded. When he was 8 years old they purchased another farm and built a six room house where the family would hold square dances. But it was shortly after this that the Great Depression began. In 1955 (Mars Ketu) he and his wife Evans purchased a 168 acres in Texas and then expanded to 300 acres.

(See Saturn 10th from Moon.)
John Archibald Wheeler: Saturn conjunct Mars & Rahu; Jupiter aspecting. Physics, nuclear reactors. “’Participant’ is the incontrovertible new concept given by quantum mechanics. It strikes down the ‘observer’ of classical theory, the man who stands safely behind the thick glass wall and watches what goes on without taking part. It can’t be done, quantum mechanics says it…May the universe in some sense be ‘brought into being’ by the participation of those who participate?” “Time, among all concepts in the world of physics, puts up the greatest resistance to being dethroned from ideal continuum to the world of the discrete, of information, of bits…. Of all obstacles to a thoroughly penetrating account of existence, none looms up more dismayingly than ‘time.’ Explain time? Not without explaining existence. Explain existence? Not without explaining time. To uncover the deep and hidden connection between time and existence … is a task for the future.” Saturn Mahadasha 1991 – 2010 (age 80 – 99): (See Saturn 5th from Moon.)
Mother Teresa: There is some confusion about her birth date being from the Julian calendar or the Gregorian calendar. I have assumed it’s from the Julian calendar made the necessary adjustment.

He loves you always, even when you don’t feel worthy. When not accepted by others, even by yourself sometimes—He is the one who always accepts you.” Saturn Mahadasha 1929 – 1948: (See Saturn in 7th from Moon.)

Gary Gilmore: Saturn conjunct Jupiter; aspected by Mars & Venus in Libra. He started into crime as a highly intelligent adolescent who thought a car theft ring would be more lucrative than school. From here he moves on to armed robbery, assault, and eventually murder. We might note that both people were shot in the back; and it’s uncertain if they were involved in the argument he was having with his girlfriend at the time. He faced the firing squad less than 6 months after he killed two men. In many ways he was doing in teal life what many some others have more successfully done in film. He was highly intelligent , but in the end he ranted about demons screeching in his head.

(See Saturn in the 6th house.)

Saturn in Krittika 4th House
Lord of 1st & 2nd houses for Capricorn ascendant.
They are unclean and unhappy. They might be surrounded by wealth and nice home, but they are just a mistreated servant keeping the fires burning. Might live in a coal or iron yard. Mother is likely poor, illiterate and mean: tough as nails; hard as iron. They might have grown up in a family of poor itinerant farmers accustomed the harsh reality of changing seasons. They might be like feudal slaves attached to the land but having none for themselves. Of course wealthy people with lands and factories, and business get attached to a bunch of stuff that they don’t actually want. But their sense of comfort and security is so persistently undercut that they are eventually left with no choice but to fight back; to insist on their identity, to defend their boundaries, to stake their claim. Of course there is something of the swagging free cowboy. It seems to be pretty good for the kind of person who has everything but is till not happy. The Sun rulership of Krittika seems to rise them up without giving them much faith that the foundation is secure. They are caught in cycles of 6th house blame and accusation, they end up putting much of their effort into work as a way of both avoiding the troubled home life, while also exacerbating the lack of security and sense of belonging..
Matt Damon: Saturn aspected by Jupiter, Venus & Ketu. Mars in Leo. Parents divorced when he was two. He lives with his mother and older brother in a six-family communal house. I suspect this was more out of some ideology than due to lack of funds. His father was a stockbroker and his mother a professor at Lesley University. He used his first Hollywood pay-check to pay for his mother’s PhD. Jupiter Saturn 2012 – ’15: In 2012 he bought a new house for $15 million. In 2015 he stared in the Martian.

Saving Private Ryan (1998). Rounders (1998). Dogma (1999). The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999). The Legend of Bagger Vance (2000). (See Saturn 5th from Moon.)
