Ok I see. It is reasonable for the 4th house cusp to be in Cap.
The 4th house is the inner world and has its affiliation to ones’ emotional nature, safety net, home, shelter (psychologically) and place of refuge.
Cap there is sort of a contradiction of this energy and may suggest a somewhat austere, formal or strict environment where common sense and self-reproach are standardized instead of feelings, emotions and expressing ones inner experience of life are set free.
Imagine a warm fireplace that has surrounding laughter being replaced by a well-maintained tiled floor, an air heater and complete silence. Perhaps more “proper” yes, but lacking soul.
Cap is efficient at running a business and when in the 4th, it can see the home life as a “business” to which it is obligated to uplift/uphold.
And if Mars aspects the ruler or is placed there, one tends towards criticism, bad temper, over-work and extreme actions with regards to maintaining and sustaining the home /private life.
It could be that one invests a great deal of energy in this part of life. And where one gives a lot of investment in manual energy (Mars), one is likely to also get protective, defensive, argumentative and even combative of that area of life.
The sexual style of Cap Mars is very similar to that of Saturn on Mars. In that the energy of Mars is often tunneled into a productive outcome.
In sexuality,Cap Mars in 4th can combine sex with emotional security/sustenance and well-being.
One manifestation in which this Cap Mars can manifest is by means of the active creation of children.
So this can indeed turn the Mars in Cap on. As children (responsibility) often gives the Cap structure and purpose: What they believe they need to function well and succeeded in utilizing this Mars energy efficiently in the house of home.
And Children also function as a security blanket unto which their emotional sustenance and well-being is inextricably combined.
Another would be someone who has sex to uplift themselves or gain societal standing.
So the idea of sleeping with someone well-esteemed or powerful provides both the sexual satisfaction and security that one is taken care of as well as increasing their social status.
So the ambitious individual (Cap)who demonstrates the ability to provide and sustain(4th house Mars), is often a big turn on to this Cap Mars:As the individual can successfully merge the Caps desire for betterment or improvement of social circumstances with physical enjoyment.
Indeed, the man in the suit/uniform(showing alignment with purpose) can often be part of a woman’s fantasies with this position. And the idea of having his “baby” can be ultimate euphoria.
For a man, the idea of protecting his home/providing for it- supports his sexual performance greatly.
When unemployed or unable to, it derails him to be frustrated with the responsibilities he has. And he can then turn(in worst cases) abusive in the home(Mars in 4th) in a vein effort to assert himself and hide his insecurities
Often, it is the woman who is supportive of him that turns him on. Her active/even aggressive role in tending to the home/hearth efficiently, is instrumental in his affections for her.
It is likely that she is the disciplinarian of the children and very much the “pants” in the home.
It’s an interesting position really.
