What does the Fourth House represent?
The fourth house (the Imum Coeli / IC) represents your roots, family background, home, and emotional foundation. It is the most private, most inward corner of the chart.
This house is the domain of “where you come from” and “where you feel at home.” The traces of your childhood, your sense of belonging, and the base of your inner security are hidden here.
The effect of the cusp sign
The sign on the cusp of the fourth house colors your bond with home and family and your sense of roots — some signs give a warm, protective base, others a distant, independent one.
Its natural link
Naturally associated with Cancer and the Moon. This link describes the “natural character” of the house — but which sign falls on the cusp of this house in your own chart is personal and depends on your birth time.
