Ketu in the 4th house in Lal Kitab
Ketu in the house of the mother: an inner restlessness at home, soothed by the mother's care and silver.
Needs careWhat Lal Kitab says
The 4th house belongs to the Moon, Ketu's enemy, so Lal Kitab asks for care. The person may feel unsettled at home or move house often, and the mind can be restless. The book's remedies calm: silver, the mother's blessing and care for the mama.
Why Ketu behaves this way here
The 4th house belongs to Moon (an enemy's house), so Ketu is a guest here. Its own house is the 6th.
A guest in an enemy's house is uneasy, which is why remedies and conduct matter more here.

What the classical texts add
Ketu in the 4th detaches from rootedness: a subtle sense of not fully belonging to home, homeland, or domestic convention, alongside a deep interior life. The classical reading is that true home is found within — outer settledness follows from that, not before it.
Classical consensus (BPHS, Jataka Parijata). This is one of the classical rules HeyKundli's engine checks against every chart.
