The Fourth House in the Natal Chart

In the natal chart, the fourth house is associated with the zodiac sign Cancer and Cancer’s planetary ruler, the Moon. The fourth house and Cancer are both related to home, family, and your private life.

Some life areas associated with this house are the home where you grew up, one of your parents, usually the mother or the more nurturing parent, the home and family you create as an adult. The fourth house also shows your roots and your ancestry. Besides the beginning of life, your last years and old age are also associated with the fourth house in the natal chart.

People who have many planets in the fourth house are usually family-oriented rather than pursuing worldly success.

The cusp of this house is the IC or Immum coeli, Latin for bottom of the sky. The IC is one of the angles of the natal chart, therefore the fourth house is an angular house. Angular houses are important because planets placed here become more powerful.

The fourth house is the house of home and family. If you have your natal Mars here, your house is not a peaceful place. This placement suggests that there were often quarrels in your childhood home or in some cases, even violence. Being at home was often a painful experience. You couldn’t display emotions safely, even though you were a sensitive child.

If you have your Mars in the fourth house, one of your parents was probably very dominant.

Growing Up and Mars in the Fourth House

However, sometimes you don’t hear out some useful advice either!

When you grow up, there are often quarrels in your own family, too. If you didn’t work on embracing your childhood challenges, these patterns follow you as an adult. You are often afraid expressing your emotions in a genuine way even when you grow up and raise your own family.

Mars and Dangers

When talking about Mars, you can’t neglect its dangerous side. This planet is fiery and ready to explode at any moment. The house of Mars in your natal chart tells where you can expect to face to danger.

If you have your Mars in the fourth house, your home and family can be a source of adversities. There is violence in the family in some cases, and it’s the best to leave your home when you can.

But Mars in the fourth house suggests some other kinds of danger, too.

Depending on its sign, Mars can strike your home. If it is in a water sign (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces), you can have problems related to water in some form, for example, flood. If Mars is in a fire sign (Aries, Leo, or Sagittarius), be careful around fire because this position of Mars can literally set your house on fire!

Of course, these bad things don’t happen to everyone who has this placement, but better be safe than sorry.
