The idea of home tends to be taken seriously. Many people with this position took on responsibilities early inside the home — helping with siblings, understanding the adults' worries — and grew up with the feeling that they had to be strong. That is nobody's fault; it is the climate in which the story took place. Today, building a safe home, with structure and routine, tends to be one of the tasks that give your life the most meaning.

House 4: House of Roots

The 4th house is the bottom of the chart, its lowest and most intimate point. It's where you come from: the childhood home, the smell of the kitchen, what was said and what went unsaid in that family. It is also your refuge now, the place where you take off the armor.
