The Fourth House is the most private part of the chart. Depending on the house system used, the Immum Coeli (IC), the angle opposite the Midheaven (MC) is contained in the Fourth House, and is frequently also the cusp of the Fourth House.
The Sun is on the IC at midnight (not at 12:00 am, but at the half-way point between sunset and sunrise). This is as dark as it gets. When we’re in the Fourth House, no one can see us; we are completely hidden from the outside world.
The Fourth House generally begins at the lowest point in the chart. If we could look below it, we would be looking off the chart somewhere into the past. This is to do with our roots and origins. What family did we come from, who were our grandparents and ancestors. What have been the issues in our family over the years, what is the family history we are inheriting ?
The 4th house is naturally associated with the sign of Cancer and its ruling planet, the Moon. In the 3rd house we are concerned with communicating with our immediate environment, this leads, in the 4th, to the need to establish a private domain to which we can retreat from the world.
The 4th house represents our roots, both psychological and material. In the psychological sense it is our early family and cultural conditioning, which gives us a sense of belonging, and produces deep inner feelings and habit patterns.
The Fourth House is an Angular House, and is therefore concerned with the question of Identity. The Fourth House is also a “Water House” and is therefore associated with emotional and soul connections.
It is more immediately about our current family, about our Mother and Father about the environment we grew up. Specifically it relates to our Mother. For the child we have been following through the houses, it is how he sees his family around him, what sort of warmth there is in the home, where he lives and whether he feels safe and nurtured there.
Planets in the Fourth House show us how we relate to our family and home and origins. With many planets in the Fourth House much of a persons focus will be taken up with home and family. They may need to isolate themselves away from the Public world to gain strength and remember their roots. They may also have many issues that need resolving in the sphere of the family.
With Jupiter in the Fourth House a person may have or be part of a big family. There is a hint of joy and life about this placement. There is likely to be a lot of emotion and expression and life in this family. With Saturn in the Fourth however the person's family background is likely to have been cold and austere and lacking in love. A person may have been an only child or have had to take on a great deal or responsibility at an early age, possibly acting as a father or mother figure.
The Fourth House is naturally ruled by and parallels the sign of Cancer. It is a watery house and is concerned with the realm of feelings and emotion. Does the child have a tangible feeling off warmth or coldness in this house ? Is a person secure and safe and cared for or do they feel cold and abandoned or neglected ? This is also an indication of how we wish our home to ultimately be for us when we form our own families.
The 4th house signifies mother, education, mental condition, vehicles, house, general happiness, prosperity, property—particularly immovable property. In determining the student's merit in academic career 4th house and its lord play an important role though the disposition of the 5th and 10th lords should not be overlooked.
The Karakas of the 4th bhava are Vrhaspathi, Sukra and Budha of which Vrhaspathi stands for learning and wisdom, and Sukra and Budha for such education that helps the man enjoy material happiness. So, in considering the academic success of a native the Karaka planet's disposition also is to be taken into account.
If the lagnadhipathi is not well-fortified simply favorable disposition of Karaka planets and of the 4th lord cannot give brilliant result in respect of university education. (a) If the 4th lord is favorably posited either in the 4th or in any other favorable house and the favorable planets are situated in any dusthan the native shall not be altogether deprived of good result expected from the 4th house, though the good result will be lessened to some extent.
Modern astrology associates the Fourth House with the Mother, but in classical astrology, the Fourth House belonged to the Father. The Fourth House is associated with our past, with our families, and with our ancestors.
There is a paradox with the Fourth House: at the same time that it is the most private and personal point in the chart, it is also the point in the chart where we are the most connected on a soul level. This is where we can experience the deepest and most fundamental emotional connections: those with our parents, and those with our true soul.
The Fourth House is our foundation. In the Fourth House, we tap into our core strengths; we form our fundamental sense of self, which we then build on. We cannot achieve the success and recognition that we seek in the Tenth House without a strong foundation in the Fourth House.
If you have a number of planets in your Fourth House, this simply means that you will tend to encounter these planets and their associated processes as being fundamental to your identity, particularly to your emotional and soul identity. Your first experience of these planets was very probably through your parents, and until you learned to integrate these planets into your own sense of self, you very probably projected them onto one or both of your parents. In short, your experience of your parents is very closely tied to your experience of these planets.
Learning how to master the planets in your Fourth House is essential if you are to create a stable foundation for your life. When you experience transits to or by these planets, you are likely to experience them as hitting close to home as it were. And finally, you may find that you do not tend to express these planets in obvious and extroverted ways, and that only those who are close to you emotionally (i.e. your family, close friends, romantic partners, etc.) may ever truly directly experience these facets of your personality.
In short, if you have a strong emphasis on your Natal Fourth House, one of your lessons in this lifetime may have to do with building a strong foundation for yourself.
The 4th house in any birth chart has various significations such as house, vehicles, peace of mind, mother etc. Generally most astrologers look at the 4th house with a view to deciphering whether the native will be blessed with comforts and vehicles. A significant aspect of 4th house is attributable to mental peace and inner purity. Generally 6th lord in 4 goes under the name "Kapata Yoga" or yoga for becoming a thief. It generally refers to lack of cohesion in thought, word and deed. Malefics in 4 or aspecting the 4th house make a person deceitful in all dealings and this in turn deprives the native of peace of mind.
Mental stress is caused if the 4th house is aspected by malefics. In medical astrology malefics in 4 can lead to cardiac problems.
To understand the full features of 4th house we need to look at Moon, Mars and Mercury. Moon is the karaka for mother. So Moon and the 4th lord both afflicted lead to deprivation of maternal happiness. The greatest source of joy and comfort in this world is a loving mother. There is a saying that when a person is born, God also designates a "Guardian Angel" to look after that person. We know that a loving mother is the physical equivalent of that Guardian Angel.
When Moon is afflicted, one's mother will not be of any help to the native. So that could be one causative factor for mental anguish. According to Dr. B.V. Raman, "Insanity or madness will not be present unless the Moon and Mercury are involved in heavy afflictions". This is because Moon rules the mind and Mercury rules certain emotions like sense of humour.
Mars is "Bhoomi Karaka", if Mars is afflicted in the 4th, one will be bereft of happiness and also property related dealings will suffer.
To conclude, one will be blessed with peace of mind, happiness and comforts if the 4th house and 4th lord are free of any blamish of any sort. Benefics such as Jupiter or Venus aspecting the 4th house would also give a person, cheerfulness, joy and enthusiasm.Today most doctors all over the world assess a person's state of mind before writing out a prescription.Stress is now considered as a serious causative factor in many psychosomatic disorders.So all afflictions to the 4th need to be reckoned before diagnosis of such disorders is made.
The 4th house together with the opposite house, the 10th, is connected with our experience of our parents. In the material sense it is our own home, from which we go out to meet the world and to which we can retreat to rest and recuperate. As well as representing our early home environment, this house is also connected with the conditions surrounding us during the second half of life.
The opposite House to the Fourth is the Tenth. This is to do with being out in the world and showing our public face, quite the opposite of the insular Fourth House.
The Fourth House is related to beginnings and endings. The Eighth House is said to be the “house of death” but truly the Eighth House only represents the manner of death; the actual death is seen in the Fourth House.
