The Fourth House of Natal Chart

The Fourth House (Naturally Ruled by the energy of Cancer) represents our family, our home, comforts, familiar traditions, and our personal foundations.

Personal foundation is a big theme with this house; It is representative of our emotional and security structures, showing our emotional and internal mechanics and core.

It conveys what it is that we envision or feel is what makes us feel at "home" and at ease.

The fourth house also *commonly* homes the IC point; The degree of the lowest point of your natal chart where the ecliptic crosses the meridian in the north, also referred to as the Imum Coeli or Nadir (opposite to your MC (Midheaven).

What the IC represents is very much connected to similar 4th house themes yet far deeper into the roots of us and our underlying tendencies that we may not share or admit to others. The IC shows who we are below the surface and the raw emotions that lie dormant under your personal security. Homing our personal potency towards our desires and direction in life that lie within the power of our very roots.
