fourth house
/fɔːrθ haʊs/
The 4th House is the sector of the astrological chart that signifies the home, family roots, and the private foundation of an individual’s life.
Also known as the House of Home and Family, this angular house is located at the bottom of the chart and traditionally begins at the Imum Coeli (IC). It represents one's ancestry, early childhood environment, and the domestic sphere where a person seeks emotional security. The sign on the cusp and any planets residing here offer insight into how a person connects with their heritage and their private living situation. This house serves as the internal base that supports the external achievements represented at the opposite point of the chart.
