House #4

Earth's atmosphere is divided into 12 sections called "Houses." These"Houses" represent a separate area and specific function in our lives. Every birth chart consists of these 12 "Houses," However, the order of the layout depends on the exact time of birth. As the planets orbit, they create aspects to these sections (Houses) in the atmosphere. Their energy effects each individual differently, depending on the aspects that were apparent at your time of birth.

Cancer is the natural ruler of the fourth "House" in the Zodiac. This is the "House of Home." This "House" shares certain qualities with Cancer, even when occupied by a different sign. The fourth "House" relates to the kind of home you had in childhood, your relationship with parents, generational qualities, real estate, and ownership of land. The fourth "House" represents the kind of security you seek and what you keep protected from the rest of the world. This is "Home" in both a physical and emotional sense.
