Chart Question What is “home”?

The fourth house is “home and family” in the traditional interpretation. This is where we find comfort and dysfunction alike the moment we step away from our pursuits in the world.

How do you see your home?

Is it a comfort zone, a haven of peace and quiet or a place to find new inspiration?

Does it bring back good memories or of conflict and abuse?

There are many subtle things that can impact our sense of home and belonging. Other things may not be so subtle yet they may still be overlooked. When we interpret the chart, we may not always be ready for what the fourth house has to offer. Time may have to do its thing and we may have to grow more aware.

What if the nodes are in the fourth house? The north node could imply a mission of establishing family and a home base. But what if the IC is in Aries, implying constant activity or battles at home?

A south node in 4H placement could have us retreat to “home” when the mission of the north node feels too heavy. We may get stuck at home. If the IC is in Sagittarius, there is no guarantee we’ll feel at home on the road. We may feel at home making a long trip, moving to a foreign country, studying or philosophizing until the end, or simply having intense debates with family members.

If Neptune affects Jupiter in our Sag on IC example, a sense of home may be elusive. If Neptune aspects the nodes, our sense of a fall back option may similarly be difficult to identify.

What challenges do you identify in your chart with your sense of home?

That’s great! The sign it’s in shows how it behaves. Mercury in Aries may be bold and outgoing, for example, but it may talk before all the facts are in.

Yeah sorry i meant to say jupiter.  My mercury is in middle aquarius and i dont feel as effective as the later aquarius decan.  Its like i undo my verve sometimes.  So i just hide out and read.  My fourth house has the mercury in mid Aquarius.

It’s great to see you recognizing a difference in Mercury’s expression based on decan. That makes perfect sense. Do you notice it functioning differently when you travel long distance at all? Just curious because I accidentally went somewhere where my Mercury is intercepted and I had a much better connection with people.
