Four

The Fourth House

House of Cancer Element: Water

Ruling Planet: Moon

Area of Consciousness Personal

Awareness through the experience of continuity

Sun in House 4

The Sun in House 4 indicates that during the course of the current lifetime, consciousness is to become more self-aware. The concern of the fourth house people is their inner reality and the circumstances that have gone into making them who they are..

People born with the Sun in H4 rarely have any great desire for acclaim or worldly success; instead they tend to favour a home - based life, which affords them much time for reflection.

When the Sun is in H4, it is common to find other inner planets also in H4 and the Moon in one of the houses of Universal consciousness, indicating that the past life experience has been group orientated and lacking the terms of reference which make possible an understanding of personal development. In the 4th House a person is given the opportunity to understand how the emotional nature of the individual is formed from his past: through experiences which can be remembered and those which are locked in the unconscious; through personal experience and through the collective experience of his race. Many 4th House people are drawn to psychotherapy as a means of accessing and processing what is in the unconscious and they have already awareness of the importance of the emotional level in understanding human motivation. The closer the Sun to the I.C the more activated is the channel of communication between the personal and the collective unconscious, and the stronger the sense of continuity and attachment to the culture of birth. People with the Sun in the 4th House are likely to view the mother as the most influential parent, regardless of whether the experience of her was positive or negative. Home life - the responsibility of the mother - is perceived by a 4th House person as the environment, which will either make or mar the individual. Yet, whilst a person with the Sun in H4 places such a high value upon home life, this placement does not automatically confer the ability to create or sustain the desired environment. This will come only after a person has an understanding of his own emotional nature and of any sabota­ging tendencies.

The 4th House experience by its nature is easier for a woman to handle than for a man who tends to look to a partner to create and run the home and thereby relinquishes a considerable amount of control of this all-important environment.

A person with the Sun in H4 views his home as an extension and a reflection of himself, and it is notable that a 4th House person will frequently seek to move home after a major period of inner change or after a break-through in self-understanding: it is as if the existing four walls no longer represent a comfortable fit. Fourth House people who are constantly on the move may well be relying upon a change of residence to put right what they sense to be out of kilter in their lives, in which case they are probably evad­ing the need to look at self.

Professions chosen by 4th House people include psychotherapy, social work, mental health nursing, and all sectors of the industry, which has grown up around home ownership
