#fourth house

LIVE

Finished my first new book hoodie project! I would have thought seventh house would be my jam because I am all about Art and Feeling Sad, but Tamsyn Muir’s tumblr sorted me into Fourth so Fourth it is. Also as I was doing this, let me tell you, the amount of times I just kind of eyeballed things and went for it instead of like actually measuring and shit made it pretty clear that her quiz was right.

A Deeper Look at the 4th House/Imum Coeli

The 4th house is commonly known to be associated with family, roots, upbringing and our home in both a physical and emotional sense. The 4th house cusp is called the Imum Coeli or IC. It’s the lowest part of the Natal Chart, it is the most private and personal to us, and it creates the foundation for the rest of our chart. The condition of the 4th house describes our childhood upbringing and the home environment we grew up in. This is the part of our lives in which we learn to satisfy our most basic needs regarding safety and comfort. What we learn during childhood (and our caregivers) has a deep influence over our psychological basis and how we form emotional responses throughout our lives.

What can be built on a weak foundation? Surely you could not have a successful career (10th house) without a bed to sleep in at night? How can you have a fulfilling relationship (7th house) if you don’t know what you need to feel nurtured and secure? The stronger our roots are, the more we can build onto our foundation. Arguably. the 4th house could be considered the most important house… if we have nowhere to call home, nowhere to feel safe, and no family to call for help, the other 11 houses become rather insignificant.

But what is “home”? I’m sure we’ve all heard the saying “home is where the heart is.” The concept of home goes beyond a physical sense. Home is a feeling. When we feel at home, we feel like we can be our most authentic selves. The 4th house is the base of our consciousness and our emotional center. It is your ability to feel at home with not only your physical surroundings but to feel at home with the SELF on a deep emotional level. The ability of our 4th house and the way it is able to function is dependent on our ability to retreat into our inner world and form a strong connection with the deepest parts of our psyche. Who are you when no one is watching? The 4th house is how we access that part of ourselves, that quiet space that exists within all of us and allows us to feel centered and grounded. That is what home is really all about, if you feel at home with yourself then you can create a home anywhere you go.

Take for example, someone with an Aquarius IC… their ability to feel the most at home and comfortable in their environment is going to be tied to their ability to feel independent and celebrate their individuality, maybe even having the space to rebel! They would not be able to feel deep emotional fulfillment if they were deprived of the space to function freely as an individual and to think/act outside of the box of what is considered normal. This would be an emotional need for them and without it they would not feel like they have access to their true selves. Freedom, change, and individuality could be the tools they use to “come home” and feel grounded and safe to express their true nature.

Or someone with Sun in the 4th house… Many tend to assume that someone with Sun/Moon in the 4th house is going to be someone with deep ties to their family and home, maybe even a homebody type. But this isn’t always true. Someone with Sun in the 4th house, the expression of their ego and identity is going to be reliant on their emotional foundation. If this person tries to neglect their emotions, is uncomfortable with the reality of their emotional needs, doesn’t have a safe and comfortable space to call home, their ability to shine is going to be greatly weakened. But when they have plenty of access to privacy, comfort, and stability, their self-expression will be energized and they can really shine for everyone to see! It doesn’t mean that they spend all their time at home, but they need the resources of the 4th house in order to be their radiant selves. This is true for any 4th house placement, the resources of the 4th house are going to be a crucial aspect in the planet’s expression. And it works vice versa, the planet in the 4th could also be considered a tool in which one may call upon this deeper understanding of the self. So with this placement, not only would the 4th house provide the resources the Sun needs to shine, but the Sun would in return shine that light onto the 4th house and lead to emotional fulfillment and comfort when is expressing their personality.

How are your 4th house planets functioning? If you have your Venus there, are you able to connect with others and do things that bring you pleasure? If you have your Mars there, are you able to initiate new things, do you have the willpower to achieve your goals and assert yourself when necessary? If not, your foundation may need some tending to. Spend some time alone, call upon your 4th house resources and tools to get closer to yourself! The 4th house is your safe space. This is where you can truly be yourself and access the deepest parts of your inner world. So use it! The rest of your chart will thank you for having that strong, stable, beautiful foundation to rest on.

scorpio in our chart shows what we’re possessive over

♇ scorpio in 1st: scorpio in 1H can indicate that a person is very self protective. they’re the type of person who does care about people that are close to them and about their feelings but they still always remind themselves that their feelings and their mental health needs to come first before anyone else’s. when rihanna said she can beat me but she cannot beat my outfit you knew it applied to scorpio in 1H/scorpio ascendants. they always want to look the best, their style is unique and they hate being copied. they’re very stingy about their fashion sense and ideas

♇ scorpio in 2nd: these people lust over money. they usually tend to be antisocial or they seem unapproachable. money brings them happiness but they don’t like to necessarily overspend it - they have a need to feel financially secure. in this case it’s money over feelings! scorpio 2H people usually don’t let many people become close to them but once they found people that actually reach their standard they get overprotective over them and possessive. the thought of sharing them with anyone else makes them “see red”

♇ scorpio in third: scorpio in the 3H people usually let their emotions depend on the popularity/recognition they get at school. they want to feel important and seen. they’re very jealous people who envy others but know how to hide it well, they start feeling a sharp pain in their chest when they see someone they’re not close to succeed.. but people they actually love or trust, they will hype them up like no one else for sure! they get possessively competitive, they want to know they’re the best and they have a desire to be powerful

♇ scorpio in fourth: this indicates someone who’s their mommy’s son/princess and they get possessive over her over time more than she is over them. their family ALWAYS comes first. their toxic trait is violence they possibly are proud of.. they’re very forgiving people who don’t have morals. their partner showing them they actually care for them makes them act psychotic over them.

♇ scorpio in fifth: these people are the true charmers and attract sexual energy easily. might’ve been catcalled in the past since their body language draws attention to them easily! since they’re so used to huge attention they get possessive over it (plus 5H is a leo house so they want the attention on them only). another thing besides attention that they’re possessive about is their lovers - they can’t handle their partner even waving to someone else unless they’re with them just for fun

♇ scorpio in sixth: scorpio in the 6H usually develop a “superiority complex” as they get older or they’ve been had it since they were little. they want to know they succeed sooner than others which seems selfish but they’re possessive over success. they might even be the type of people that are against getting surgeries and are very opinionated. they cherish their natural beauty and fear someone else meeting their level of beauty. in general they are possessive over success and recognition they get/crave.

♇ scorpio in seventh: people with a taurus ascendant usually get used by many. usually the first people they’ve ever caught feelings for saw them as a temporary partner or even an affair/one night stand. because of this they built trust issues and don’t care to be commit anymore. they’re possessive over that one person they randomly meet that fulfills their fantasies when it comes to their dream partner and don’t know how to let them go. 7H also deals with business so they might be possessive over their belongings and give backhanded compliments to those who have similar goals as them

♇ scorpio in eight: similar to scorpio in the 1H they’re also very self protective. since the eight hoes deals with sex they don’t easily let people have sexual relations with them - but once they do they want to make themselves unforgettable. they seek intimacy and loyalty and could get possessive over someone who sexually makes them happy and is trustworthy. they refuse to share their secrets with others so they’re very selfish when it comes to their privacy because they value it a lot

♇ scorpio in ninth: their surroundings are everything to them. they hate finding out about their loved one’s problems.. and have a need to fix them. they have an approachable vibe to them and they look nice which leads to them to be a very social person since they like meeting new people too! they get possessive over their happiness and peace because they truly believe that living life without having fun doesn’t mean you’re living life

♇ scorpio in tenth: these natives attract jealousy easily but they LOVE it. they want to know someone else envies them and secretly wants to be just like them. their 8H being in virgo and if it’s aspecting their 10H in scorpio also makes them very possessive and territorial over their partners. they feel like if someone gives them a strange look they want them which “boils their blood”. they’re ambitious and truly believe they’ll get what they desire (as you should!!) so being possessive over their powerful thoughts they randomly have throughout the day is also a personality trait of their’s and this also happens because 10H deals with our career and you’re always thinking of the future and how much money you’ll earn. you want what’s best for you

♇ scorpio in eleventh: when younger - they didn’t really care to have a social life necessarily but as they grow older they want it. they get possessive over their social image and their looks. 11H deals with desires and wishes or hopes so they’re really focused on getting what they want, they’re the type of person who knows they have to haunt for what they want and not just wait for it to come to them magically. the closest friends they have might mean a lot to them and they could be possessive over them! they were probably the kid that asked their best friend to not have any other friends

♇ scorpio in twelfth: these people don’t believe in coincidences. they truly believe that everything happens for a reason and whatever lifestyle they desire they truly believe they are meant for. they’re possessive over being seen since they could’ve been the kid that’s not being payed attention to and as they grow older they realize they need recognition in order to be seen and gain attention. if they have saturn in their 12H it could indicate their dad being absent which now leads them to being overprotective of their kids and being possessive of the thought of being a better parent than someone else will be/is.

Scorpio in 5H✨

interestingly enough, scorpio is intercepted in my chart so it doesn’t actually rule any house, and i don’t feel possessive over anything. i’ve always had an easy time just letting go of things in my life!

Signs in the Fourth HouseThis placement is where the Mother Moon feels at home, hence it is the doma

Signs in the Fourth House

This placement is where the Mother Moon feels at home, hence it is the domain of Cancer. Being the house for emotions and the past, it has powerful psychological and emotional influence on human beings. In Roman mythology Diana was the Goddess of the Moon, children, animals and women - her Greek name was Artemis (though they differ in certain parts.) The Goddess in both interpretations was depicted as sort of a guardian of innocence - light in the dark. Therefore there are these themes of “guarding” and “security” we stumble upon with this house. This is the house which tells us about our mothers, family life, our home, our inner voice, and our ancestry to a certain point but it is arguable.  

♈︎Aries / Mars in the 4th House:

The mother might have heavy fire sign influences in her chart. She is a leader and she is very assertive. She might be on the more aggressive side but as easily as she gets angry she is also quick to turn into a more bubbly mood. She is self-confident but to the point of insisting she is the only one who has valid points in this World. The house the native grew up in, involved a lot of arguing between the parents which seemed to spark out of nowhere. The most extreme case would be domestic violence being present in the home. The family might have had problems concerning their homes. Somethings always seem to break down inside the house. The individual might have some resentment towards the family. Looking back at her childhood can bring some anger to the surface. With a family life that is lacking peace, the person’s inner voice can be on the more aggressive side. The person has no patience for understanding themselves, therefore the emotions are all over the place. Patience with ones-self and the family is key here.  

♉︎Taurus / Venus in the 4th House:

The mother might have heavy Venusian influences in her chart. She is beautiful and graceful but can be a little lazy. She had a great influence on the home environment, she seemed to be the source of comfort for the family. The family life was overall nice but might have had been boring. The family is close-minded compared to the native of the chart. Even though the family is talented in the arts they are not that open to the “new”. The family may find it hard to accept the quirky side of the person, but they are comforting in certain ways. The house the native grew up in was very beautiful and they did not move around a lot. The food prepared in the house is of amazing taste. Perhaps the native has spent most of their lives in the same family home. An extreme case could be that certain members of the family (could be especially the mom) were too self-indulgent and prefer material stuff over emotional comfort. However, the individual thinks fondly of their past within the family home maybe because they choose to remember only the nice things about it. The person might seek material stuff to feed their emotional needs like the mother which can lead them to be shopaholics or binge eaters. They prefer to be realistic about their emotions and they are patient about their ups and downs.

♊︎Gemini / Mercury in the 4th House:

The mother might have heavy air sign influences in her chart. She is very intelligent but also a trouble maker when she does not have an outlet for displaying her intelligence. The family life was kind of turbulent and restless, something was always happening but nevertheless, it was very fun too. The natives learned a lot from the family and especially the mother who was like a sister to them more than a mother. The mother is very vocal about her emotions and hid nothing from the chid. In an extreme case, the mother exposed the child to too much of life’s reality when the child was not yet ready. The roles of the parents in the family might be reversed. The family was constantly on the move, never wanting to settle down on one house. In another scenario, the house was always full of people (maybe with questionable intentions) This amount of exposure to adult conversation from an early age lead the natives to have a very anxious inner voice inside their heads. They might always be in the need to communicate even when it is not necessary. They are very intelligent when it comes to addressing certain issues though and are very understanding of their and others’ emotional needs. They are not afraid of talking about deeper things.  

♋︎Cancer / Moon in the 4th House:

The moon has a heavy influence on the mother’s chart. She is very emotional and nurturing. She was definitely meant to be a mother and was accepting of the child’s emotional needs. The family life can go either way, it was either very secure or there were certain troubling things that lead the mother to be extra protective over the child. The family might have had some secrets that the native still does not know about. The house the native grew up in could have had been near the sea or a lake of some sort. With a mother that was very protective of them, now they are also very protective of the mother. There is a deep bond with their mother which gets stronger as they both age. The native is a very nostalgic person who tends always to come back to reflect on the past. The past always has a heavy influence on the person which can make it harder for them to let go. Even though they are very emotional they prefer to keep it to themselves and their mother only.  

♌︎Leo / Sun in the 4th House:

The sun has a heavy influence on the mother’s chart. She is a person who is in the foreground - a very optimistic and fun personality. The native looks up to the mother and is very important for them. The mother might have a child-like attitude towards life leading the child to be more mature than them or take care of the mother when it is supposed to be the other way around. No matter what the mother is highly creative and so is the family. The family of the native has a strong influence on them when it comes to their self-identity. Growing up, home life was very dramatic but fun at the same time. Big mistakes were made which were easily forgiven by the members. The house was very important for the family, so they were in constant search of the best house for them and when it was finally found it was magical. With a very creative and dramatic family life, the native is the same when it comes to their emotions. They are very child-like and innocent and they give themselves the space to make mistakes. Depression is not very common for these natives to have since they always find ways to light themselves up. Nostalgia is a medicine for them.

♍︎Virgo / Mercury in the 4th House:

The mother might have Virgo or Earth sign influences in her chart. She might be a workaholic who was very strict about having certain rules around the house. If that wasn’t the case, great anxiety was caused by the mother since she was not very emotionally open to her children. She might have had been a very critical person who was hard to please. The family environment was very focused on being “perfect” and this caused a lot of stress for its members. There might have had been a certain chronic illness that a member of the family suffered from. All of this lead the native of this placement to feel a certain dictate towards the past. But the family past is not a subject they avoid thinking about even though it wasn’t the greatest. They like to analyze their past and their mother’s actions. They always try to be logical when it comes to their emotions, always trying to understand what it is they are feeling. When they cannot understand it causes them great anxiety.

♎︎Libra / Venus in the 4th House:

The mother might have heavy Venusian or Air influences in her chart. She is a beautiful lady who is very concerned about the way she comes across. She is a perfectionist when it comes to her family. She probably had a lot of say when it comes to house rules and its decorations. She was a very just and kind person but kept her emotional side behind closed doors even from her children and maybe her husband. Only “good vibes” were allowed to be expressed. This has caused the native of this chart to be concerned with other people’s emotional needs and neglect their own since they always wanted to know what their mothers were going through or since they were taught to keep their emotions on a leash. They are very good at keeping their emotions intact. They love to learn about what other people are going through and helping them out. They are especially very nourishing and caring toward their partners. Taking care of the partner leads them to forget about themselves. They love nostalgia and tend to collect retro stuff.

♏︎Scorpio / Pluto in the 4th House:

The mother might have heavy Pluto influences in her chart. She is a mysterious and intense woman who tends to be very controlling over the family and the house. She was passionate about her hobbies or work and probably was not shy about talking about intense topics with the family but always keeping her mysterious exterior. The house the native grew up in had a certain dark-vibe to it which was hard to pin down, it is advised for the native to check the ruler of Pluto in their charts to understand better. There is a karmic bond with the mother, perhaps a sense of revenge or an intense desire to prove themselves to them. The native has a love/hate relationship with their past and also with their emotions. They go through stages in life which involves high ups and very low downs concerning their emotional needs. They are very passionate about the past and love to dig deep down to the throat of their childhoods.    

♐︎Sagittarius / Jupiter in the 4th House:

The mother might have heavy Jupiterian influences in her chart. She is a bubbly character who was pretty much the Zeus of the house. Perhaps she was born in another country and or another culture than where the native of the chart was born. She might have had influenced the family with her different background (religion/culture/philosophy). The house the native grew up in was either very big or full of different kinds of people who they never really got to know personally. Also, this can indicate that In their later years the chart owner may move into a foreign country. The family life was full of adventure and random family trips which the native goes back to from time to time. They are big on nostalgia, forever wanting to keep their memories close to their hearts. The mother was a very emotionally open person which allowed the natives to allow themselves to understand their own and others’ emotional needs. This also has made them a very intuitive person. Whenever they listen to their emotions they make the right choices but if they betray their intuition, big problems arise.

♑︎Capricorn / Saturn in the 4th House:

The mother might have heavy earth sign or Saturn influences in her chart. The mother might have had taken the role of the father or the father was more motherly than the mother herself. The theme of having a “family business” is heavy with this placement where the female figures are lucky with being successful. But on the downside, this has to lead the mother figure to be out of touch with the home life. The mother was too busy with their career hence the time that they spent with the child was very limited. In another scenario, the mother was not emotionally nourishing the child. This has caused the native of this chart to be afraid of their emotions and made it harder for them to be more open on a deeper level. They try hard to avoid their emotions and consult to logic which can cause depression on their parts. Remembering things from the past causes them melancholy.

♒︎Aquarius / Uranus in the 4th House:

The mother might have heavy Uranian influences in her chart. She is a weirdo who is peace with that but this might have caused the natives to not quite understand the mother. The mother has made some shocking decisions in her life so the native always expects the unexpected from her but of course, this has also caused them to feel unsafe especially emotionally. The family life and the places the family called home went through a lot of changes. Many of the changes were unwelcomed. The family is very open-minded and there is a sense of freedom to talk about anything but there is a tendency of trying to make logical sense out of emotions. The unstableness of the family life has caused the natives to be emotionally unstable as well. They might cry or laugh in the wrong places. But the number of surprising emotions will teach the natives to be open about them as well. They are highly intelligent when it comes to addressing deep issues and non-judgmental about what other people are feeling.

♓︎Pisces / Neptune in the 4th House:

The mother might have a heavy water sign or Neptunian influences in her chart. She was a selfless woman, you can call her mother Teresa if you will, or she was a totally confusing person for the native of this chart. She was an idealist and a dreamer who had influenced the chart owner a lot when it comes to their own dreams and ideals. In an extreme scenario, she was a person with a horrible addiction and influenced the native in that way. Nevertheless, there is a fascination with the mother on the native’s part. They might idolize or victimize her, sometimes they feel both of these things towards her. The family might have had lived near the ocean or the sea. The native always dreams about having the ideal family and the home, not being satisfied with the one they had as a child. The emotions the native feels tend to confuse and scare him therefore always seeking alcohol or something tangible for comfort. This might be a big secret they have. They tend to keep their emotions hidden away, even from themselves just to come across these feelings in random places and times.
