Neptune in the 4th House

The Fourth House is the house of home and lineage. Situated at the bottom of the birth chart, it represents our foundation. It is associated with family, ancestry, traditions, the home we come from, and the home we hope to make for ourselves. If any planets are your Fourth House, considerable energy is directed toward family ties and homemaking.

Neptune is the planet of dreams, psychic receptivity, illusion, and confusion. With Neptune involved, any sort of misunderstanding can be long-lasting and removed from reality. You may experience a sense of inner uncertainty, insecurity, and disorientation when it comes to your home-base. Unexplainable fears and anxieties may cause you to want to withdraw from living. You may idealize the home environment, and it may be, in reality, more in your imagination rather than in fact.

A spiritual tie with one or both parents is likely. A desire to live by the sea is not uncommon with this position. You may have vague recollections regarding your true roots, and this uncertainty may cause difficulties. Remember, with Neptune, things are not as they appear, and you need to face reality in your home environment and with respect to your parents rather than what may be in your imagination and subconscious.
