4th house in Cancer
4 December 1503, 12:00, Saint-Remy-de-Provence, France
A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Nostradamus as “you”.
House of Cancer, ruled by the Moon
It is exactly opposite the MC, it is the axis of the 4th house and also a very important point; IC or in Latin Imun Coeli – is the southernest point of one's horoscope – it represents your home, your roots (also psychological) and your beginnings. It indicates your parents, ancestors and family ties; what kind of family you originate from, what your perception of family life is, it also shows what experiences and values you have gained in this area. It represents property, your personal life. In basically represents everything that is private; the foundations on which you build your character. It also indicates inheritance.
4th house in Cancer
Because your 4th house starts or is in Cancer, home and family mean a lot to you and the connections and experiences from your early childhood mark your entire life. Values, gained through upbringing in childhood, are sacred to you, so is your family and everything connected to it. You are a loyal follower of traditional values and you often also have somewhat conservative views. You like staying at home, home is where you recharge your batteries (although you are generally a person who likes going out and even if you travel the world often and even if you embark on long journeys, you always gladly return home). You often have artistic tendencies and abilities, you also tend to be a collector.
Mars in 4th house
You are a diligent and hard-working person, you are always doing and creating something, at the same time you are very sensitive to your environment. When you are alone, you often feel somewhat awkward or clumsy; you need a lot of space around you. It is also possible that you move often or change things in your family life, you often also experience quarrels and accidents in your life, injuries that happen in the house and alienation or loss of one of the parents or the relationship with one of your parents cools off.
Jupiter in 4th house
You usually have strong connections with your family. You value and are interested in your origin and your ancestors, you probably originate from a wealthy family and have educated parents. You never forget the morals and values that you learn and gain in your home and they have a major influence throughout your entire life. You like collecting things, are interested in history, archeology, ethnology and also in philosophy and psychology. You often work in writing, publishing, etc.
Saturn in 4th house
Because of such Saturn position, you usually have some infortune in family life or in making contacts with people closest to you in your early childhood. Often, there is actually separation (or even the loss of one) of the parents involved, but most often alienation of closest family members. It is possible that you get some sort of support and financial aid from your family, but such a position of Saturn, as a rule, doesn't indicate a very happy childhood or doesn't promise the most happy family relations or shows merely your inability to be part of this environment (of your childhood).
