4th House

The 4th house, anchored by the IC (Imum Coeli), is the most private angle of the chart. It rules home, family of origin, ancestry, and the innermost emotional world. This house describes what "home" means to you, your relationship with your parents (especially the more nurturing one), and the psychological roots that underpin everything else. Planets in the 4th house often describe the home environment and the legacy passed down through family lines. It also governs the final years of life.
