Fourth House (The IC)

The Fourth House begins at the Imum Coeli (IC) — the lowest point of the chart, representing your deepest roots. It governs home, family, ancestry, emotional foundations, and the private self that exists behind closed doors. The sign on the Fourth House cusp and any planets within it reveal your relationship with home life, your family of origin, and your sense of emotional security. The Fourth House is associated with Cancer and the Moon in the natural zodiac. A prominent Fourth House suggests a life deeply shaped by family dynamics and a strong need for domestic stability. Transits to the Fourth House often coincide with moves, family changes, ancestral healing, and shifts in your inner emotional landscape.
