The 4th House
(home, friends and family)
The Fourth House represents the field of experience in which you are challenged to explore the roots of your own identity, both in psychological terms and also in terms of facing squarely and clearly the effects your early family experiences had upon you.
Peel away the layers of the psychological onion, get down to the core of your being, the realm of your heros and nightmares... You've entered the Fourth House... This is psychic bedrock...
Traditionally, it's the House of the Home... That's a valid notion in lots of ways...
First... With any astrological factor in this part of the birthchart, you're at least "minoring in psychology" and that process requires a safe haven; hence, you feel an elevated need for the privacy and security of the "nest".
Secondly... Much of your psychic bedrock was profoundly influenced -- or scarred -- by your childhood experiences.
Many of your most fundamental challenges spin off the effects of a powerful parent upon your present character.
Thirdly... "Home" is "where you're coming from"... And this House answers that question in the deepest way: it's the core of your being.
