Inner Peace Is the 4th House, Not Five Rashis
Sukha, peace of mind and the home, is the 4th house. Money arriving is the 11th. A preference for peace over gain is a strong 4th lord beside a 11th lord that does not run the life. Five rashis do not own that pattern.

Two houses that popular lists fuse
The 4th house is the home, the mother, and the inner weather. Its lord in a kendra supports peace. Its lord in the 6th, 8th, or 12th makes the home itself restless. The 11th house is income and the circle of gain. A person with a fine 4th lord and a 12th lord sitting in the 11th may care more about a quiet room than about the next payment, or may lose the payment and keep the room. That is a house pattern. Cancer is the natural 4th and the Moon's sign, and still a Cancer lagna's peace depends on the Moon's placement, not on a medal given to the sign.
The Moon is the felt peace
Even with a strong 4th lord, an afflicted Moon, with Saturn, Rahu, or Ketu, disturbs the mind that has to live in that house. The 4th can be structurally fine and the Moon can be in the middle of Sade Sati, Saturn on the Moon's sign. The person will not describe themselves as peaceful that year. A rashi list cannot see Sade Sati, because Sade Sati needs the natal Moon, not the Sun sign. Moksha and withdrawal, if that is the real question, lean toward the 12th house, which is also expenditure. Peace and renunciation are neighbors and they are not identical.
A dasha can spend the peace
The 4th lord's period emphasizes home and mind. The 11th lord's period emphasizes getting. A spiritual reputation during an 11th-lord mahadasha may be a public gain using 9th-house language, not the 4th house at rest. Jupiter, karaka of wisdom, helps the 4th when it aspects it, and Jupiter mahadasha is 16 years. It still will not turn five Sun signs into a type. Cast the lagna. Name the 4th lord. Then look at the Moon. The priority is those two planets this decade.
Frequently asked questions
Which house is inner peace?
The 4th, sukha, home and mind-weather. The Moon has to be able to inhabit it. The 11th is income, a separate priority.
Can someone have peace and still earn?
Yes. A strong 4th lord and a strong 11th lord can both be present. The running dasha decides which one is the chapter.
Why is a five-sign list the wrong shape?
The 4th lord changes with the lagna. Sade Sati, which disturbs peace, is counted from the Moon, not from a Sun-sign group.
