Mars 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.

There is an early striving for independence and a desire for security and a home of your own. There may be tension or antagonism in your family environment. Perhaps you are too demanding of those closest to you. You must overcome your hidden antagonisms and quarrelsomeness. Your strong emotions must be toned down and controlled. Go out and do some yard work to work off the excess energy.
