Classical Analysis
Bhrigu Sutras
According to this classical source, such natives are very skilled when it comes to handicrafts or any activity that involves working with the hands.
That is because the 4th house is 2nd (value, resource) from the 3rd (skills of hands). In other words, the 4th house signifies everything that the native achieves with their own skills and available resources.
It is also mentioned that such natives will be well versed and educated. They will be generally satisfied in life due to the comforts they possess and earn with their activeness and skills.
It is also mentioned that such natives acquire conveyances and comforts at a very early age of 16, but with questionable means. That is probably because of a lack of maturity. Even the most saintly people have done some mistakes in early life which were their biggest teachers. The same happens with such natives who have Mercury in the 4th house.
As Mercury is a natural benefic planet, it influences the 4th house positively by default, when not considering the sign placements. Hence, according to this classical source, such natives acquire many conveyances and luxurious articles to make them feel satisfied in life.
Furthermore, if the 4th house ruler is also dignified and strong, such natives have luxuries in abundance. In old times, they are said to have palanquins, which is a conveyance for one person and carried by many people. It must be that such natives are some significant figures with strong social status who deserve such enormous favors from society.
However, if Mercury in the 4th house is conjunct with or aspected by Rahu, Ketu, or Saturn, it causes a lack of comforts and conveyances in life. They also have struggles regarding landed property or real estate.
