Fourth House
The House of Home
The fourth house is home. It rules your family, your roots, your private inner life, and the foundation everything else is built on. It sits at the very base of the chart.
The cusp of this house is one of the chart's four angles, the Imum Coeli, a sensitive point that carries extra weight in your chart.
What the fourth house rules
Your household, your parents and ancestry, and the sense of belonging you carry inside. It is where you go to feel safe.
Planets in the fourth house
Planets here run deep and private. They shape your bond with family, your need for a nest, and the emotional ground you stand on.
The sign on your fourth house cusp
This shows what home means to you, and the kind of foundation you need before you can feel settled.
Naturally ruled by Cancer. Each house has a sign that feels most at home in it. The 4th house belongs to Cancer and its ruler the Moon, which is why this house carries a Cancer flavour even before you add your own planets.
Which sign rules your 4th house?
This is the 4th house in general. Your own chart places a real sign on its cusp and may hold planets inside it, both personal to your exact birth time. Build your free chart to see yours.
