The Fourth House is the house of home and happiness. It shows our house and environment both outwardly and inwardly (the mind). It relates to the mother and to the domestic situation. As such, it shows our basic emotional nature, our heart or feelings, and is thereby important for determining our joy or aesthetic sense in life, our appreciation of love and beauty, and our capacity for art. Upbringing, education, and refinement in life are sometimes seen through it.

The Fourth House shows land and property, and our ability to acquire them. As the house of property in general, it shows the vehicles we may possess, like automobiles. Quality of residence, Village, assets, landed and ancestral properties, Orchards etc. are also signified by this house.

It indicates the masses and thereby our popularity, particularly on a public level.

On the psychological level, it shows how happy we are at home or in our emotional nature, and may indicate deep subconscious drives. It also relates to our capacity for rest and relaxation. It is the psychological house, per se, and afflictions to it show emotional and mental disorders and lack of peace. It is probably the most sensitive house, and afflictions to it can be hard to overcome.

Spiritually, it is indicative of our faith and, often, of our family religious background, and thereby shows our capacity for devotion and contemplation. It indicates the nadir, the lowest point in the chart, and hence what is internal, hidden, and personal. Benefic planets here can be good for meditation.
