Thank you, I’m glad you liked it 🙂
AMAZING article!! Explained so much. Thank you thank you!
Wow… Very doom and gloom. This is why a lot of people don’t like Astrology. There is so much for to Uranus in this placement than just bad luck happening and negativity.
If you’re reading this and you have or know someone with Uranus is the fourth house, it can also mean that you have been brought up in a LOVING, STABLE home and that you travel a lot (when younger or older), or that you were homed schooled. Perhaps your parents or parent was a bit eccentric, or was quite Uranian – into occult studies, politician, scientist, activist etc
There is a lot to it and would need to take in account the whole chart to get the full picture….
Thank you for sharing your comment.. I’m very much into the occult and Uranian things hence being on this site in the first place and my 3rd born, my first son, has this placement.. I do homeschool my kids and intend to continue doing do.. he says he wants to be a scientist too.. reading your comment helped ease some anxiety
I am sure what you’re saying has truth, but I related heavily to everything said.
I read somewhere that our Uranus placements can be linked to a relevant past life…do you know much about this????
Thank you for this
Thank you! My daughter has this placement & it is so worrying to think her little home life with us will somehow go this way? My partner & I are different to the ‘norm’ so we would love to encourage her to be her own little unique self too. We’d love to travel around & take her to places in which I personally couldn’t do growing up.
im sitting here in tears cause i was feeling like i ruined my child. my scorpio daughter is 11 and has this placement. her dad and i do argue a lot. our family is eccentric and unique in many ways, i do homeschool my kids also. i know emotionally things have been rough off and on but i like to think for me that its somewhat lovng, maybe not too stable.
we are also into into occult studies.
so crazy how accurate these are.
What would it mean to have Uranus retrograde in the 4th house? Does it make any difference?
And what would it mean to have uranus retrograde in Libra? Would there be injustice in the 4th house? That would make total sense in my life.
I’m just getting interested in Astrology. It is the only thing that is bringing me answers that make sense.
Uranus in the 4th house-I’m into the occult-just began traveling constantly 🤗my children are free spirited fans home schooled.I don’t always feel the house that I live in is mine,I usually move at random,usually I don’t get a chance to prepare.seeking stability in my own home now.I am moving ofc my Pluto line,which makes me paranoid-thanks this gives a lot of insight
thank you for this & this website.
Thank you, all of this is spot on for me.
I have both uranus and aquarius in the 4th house i guess that’s why people see the aquarius tendencies at home and yeah i hate unnecessary drama and i feel detached from people so i tend to move, I’m currently planning to move to a new olace by September
Well… Uranus, Pluto, Lilith All in the 4th House, with Lilith and Uranus in Scorpio… And here I am at the age of 42 unable to maintain friendships or relationships, and only just reconciling all the mess and carnage of my youth. Nearly in abject poverty, a failed business, and some very heavy karmic lessons to reconcile.
Not even psychologists have been much help.
So now I need to double down on philosophy, psychology, and writing. In the poison resides the cure!
Sitting here with my Uranus, Lilith, and Pluto in my 4th House Scorpio and lilith in opposition to Chiron in my 10th house of career and public life, and lilith square both my Nodes, plus Saturn in My 3rd House. And now here at 42 trying to understand the train wreck of my life. No planets in 7th, 11th, 2nd, and just Chiron in the 10th… So what the F!
If anyone sees me on the streets in the next few years, a sandwich and a coffee would be appreciated!
And just realised I commented twice (now three times with this comment) on this… Sorry admins! I have no friends, didn’t mean to spam 😀
No worries!
