When retrograde Saturn is placed in the fourth house in Pisces, Sagittarius rises in the ascendant. Saturn rules the second and third house. In general, it is benefic here, in most cases.

Retrograde Saturn in the fourth house in Pisces is benefic in most cases, though it may turn malefic in some cases. It may happen when such Saturn is influenced by one or more malefic planets, and/or an overall malefic horoscope. The concept of a benefic planet turning malefic due to influences of malefic planets has been explained in the book ‘Match Making and Manglik Dosh’.
When benefic in nature, retrograde Saturn in the fourth house in Pisces can bless the native with good results related to family, wealth, speech, siblings, colleagues, mother, education, properties, vehicles, profession, finances, reputation, authority, recognition, fame and several other good results, depending on his/her overall horoscope and running times.
Such retrograde Saturn can render several good results to the native, related to or through his family. For example, the native may be born in a rich, influential, resourceful, well-respected, politically powerful, royal and/or spiritually advanced family, and he may witness several benefits by virtue of being a member of such family. The native may also witness several good results related to or through his siblings. They may stand by the native and they may help him get out of his problems, many times in his life.

Venus is placed in the seventh house in Gemini, benefic Sun is placed in the eighth house in Cancer, benefic Mercury is placed in the ninth house in Leo, benefic Rahu is placed in the twelfth house in Scorpio with Mars, and Ketu is placed in the sixth house in Taurus.

If benefic retrograde Jupiter forms Hamsa Yoga in the first house in Sagittarius, and Moon is placed in the ninth house in Leo with Mercury, the equation may become better. In this case, the native may possess remarkable acting talent, and he may come across a lot of success, money, fame and recognition.

Saturn rules the second and third house, and it is placed in the fourth house. If such Saturn is influenced by malefic planets, and/or an overall malefic horoscope, the native may witness various types of problems related to or through his mother, family, and/or siblings. Considering family, the native may be born in a family which may be poor, and/or some of his family members may be alcoholics, drug addicts, criminals and/or they may have some other negative traits. Hence the native may witness several problems in his life, due to bad reputation of his family, and/or bad conducts of some family members.

Benefic exalted Sun is placed in the fifth house in Aries, retrograde Mercury is placed in the sixth house in Taurus with malefic exalted Rahu, and malefic exalted Ketu is placed in the twelfth house in Scorpio with Jupiter.

The native may witness various types of problems due to her, and she may die before his age of 20. The native may only find temporary jobs till his age of 35/40.
If debilitated Mars is placed in the eighth house in Cancer, and malefic Moon is placed in the fourth house in Pisces with Saturn and Venus, the equation may become worse. In this case, native’s mother may die before native’s age of 10 or 5, due to drug addiction, or someone may kill her. The native may not find a permanent profession throughout his life, though he may earn well at times. He may remain jobless for periods of more than 6 months, many times in his life.
