4th House of Parents and Home
The fourth house speaks about your parents and home. Planets here, aspects it is making, ruler, ruler’s position and its aspects will tell you more about:
- Your relationship with parents, more specifically it represents your father
- Home environment
- Property/House.
Angular House
One of the angular houses, planets here, aspects, ruler’s position and ruler’s aspects play an important part in your life. Opposite to the 10th, the 4th is also about more private matters, your home life. As we use whole sign house system for natal chart readings, the 4th house is separate from the IC (Imum Coeli). The IC will always be 180 degrees away from the MC (Midheaven), the highest ecliptic point during one’s birth. Usually placed in the 10th but could also be in other houses.
Lowest Point in the Chart (Imum Coeli)
One’s IC point will show your inner world and foundation. It’s the lowest point in the ecliptic, translated into your chart. It can also show you what makes you feel safe, what you’re drawn to and subconsciously need. Some of us have our IC points in other houses, while some may have it in the 4th house. The IC point can be located anywhere between the 2nd to the 6th house. It is different for everyone though most will have it in their 4th house.
Importance of 4th House
Having planets or nodes here, especially if they are aspecting planets in the other angular houses, will speak a lot about a need to work with those energies throughout your life.
The 4th is squaring the 1st and 7th houses, opposite the 10th. While the 1st is of your self, and 7th of other people or your spouse, they could pose some challenges to your 4th of home and parents. 4th being opposite the 10th of career could also show that some form of balance is needed between your home life and career. Look into what planets or nodes are involved in your own chart for further delineations.
When looking at the 4th house of parents and home, also take into consideration where the IC point is located in the chart, especially if it’s in the 4th house. Planets and Nodes in the 4th may also add a further emphasis on balancing between career and home life or challenges between yourself and other people/spouse with regards to your home life or parents.
