Sun 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.

You are concerned about and devoted to your family and desire to build strong inner and outer foundations, but, at times, you may have the wish to retreat from society when life becomes difficult.

You may have had to assume responsibilities at an earlier age than your friends and/or you may have experienced the loss of your father in your early years. The influence of either or both parents is strong for good or otherwise.

There is pride in the home, and that is where you want to shine and show your creativity. That is where you can be the real you. You want to be king of your castle, but just don't be too demanding at home. No one likes a dictator.

You plan carefully for security in your old age and are likely to spend your last years alone and independent.
