The fourth house is the house of home, roots, family, self-care, emotional foundations, mother, child, women, and femininity. The fourth house shows our origins. It is the soil that the rest of the chart grows out of. It is our emotional and psychological foundation.
This house shows what we have absorbed from the past. It is the key to the roots of our emotional stability. We see our attitudes regarding emotional support, care, and intimacy described by the fourth house. This house shows the emotional atmosphere in which we existed in the early years of life.
The 1st through 4th houses together show our orientation to life as a result of our absorbed past, our early environment, and primary conditioning. This is also the house of property, the home, land, and real estate, the original soil that we come from.
When a plant grows, its potentials are largely dependent upon the nutrients supplied in the soil. The soil is the precursor to the health, growth habit, and resilience of the plant. The fourth house is illustrating the same rule in human growth. It is the genetic and inherited soup that we emerge from, our psychic inheritance, our family lineage and heritage, and our early nutrition.
Planets in the fourth house and the ruler of the fourth house show our approach to protection, nurturing, and describe our home environment, both past and present. The polar opposite of the fourth house is the tenth house, the house of physical manifestation. The Moon-Saturn polarity, as the second archetypal symbol of female-male pairing, is about making our interior worlds manifest in an exterior way, the inter-flow between "me in here" and "you out there."
The fourth house is the most subjective house. The planets contained in the fourth house are influenced by personal tastes, feelings, and opinions. The meaning of the fourth house can be summed up in this quote: "The precursor to the mirror is the mother's face." [Music]
