Derived Relations

This is a technique that enables astrologers to locate your relatives in your birth
chart.
As your mother is the 4th house, then her mother is four houses from it, counting
the 4th house as the first. So her mother- your maternal grandmother is in the 7th
house.
Working with the Vedic system of astrology which recognises the 9th house as father
and uses whole signs as a house, this is how it works:-

House
Relatives in your chart
First House
Second House
Third House
Younger siblings, Father-in-law
Fourth House
Mother
Fifth House
Children, Paternal grandfather
