The Fourth House
©2004 by Donna Cunningham

by Donna Cunningham, MSW



The fourth house, related to the Moon and the sign Cancer, traditionally represents such matters as your home, mother, base of security, and heredity or parental influence. Basic needs or issues of the fourth house include nurturing and security. Nurturing (i.e., meeting the child's physical and emotional needs) is not limited to the mother, and can be provided by both parents or any number of people, but the sum experience of nurturing develops the infant's sense of what psychoanalyst Erik Erikson called "basic trust." Whether the person is basically secure or insecure depends on how that nurturing was experienced.


The fourth house, planets in it, and its ruler can describe what that experience was and what the person does to feel secure. The basic lesson to be learned, of course, is that security is to be found within ourselves, not in anything external. For example, the person with Taurus on the fourth probably had a rather calm, traditional, down-to-earth upbringing, but may seek security in material possessions—accumulating THINGS until the house is cluttered. The person with Aquarius on the fourth may well have had an erratic childhood where there were many geographic moves, and therefore may find security in not having a permanent home, but being free to move around at will.


As we were nurtured, so do we nurture; therefore, the fourth can also give clues to your behavior in a role where caretaking is required of you, such as in parenthood. People with Taurus on the fourth may have had a more stable parental role model than people with Aquarius on the fourth and so are able to provide more stability and security to their own offspring. One drawback is that these parents don’t usually have a great deal of flexibility to meet our society’s rapidly-changing standards and conditions. They can be conserva°©tive when it comes to child rearing. Also, who is to say that the person with Aquarius on the fourth has not had a better preparation to make the best of our incredibly mobile lifestyle in this modern era?

Donna Cunningham,
Astrologer
& Healer

Donna Cunningham is an internationally respected astrologer and the author of 19 books on metaphysical topics.
She has been an astrologer for almost 40 years.



Her newest career direction is to lead writing seminars for those who wish to write about astrology, metaphysics or self-help subjects. See her summer offerings at www.moonmaven
publications.
com/writingseminars.html.




Donna Cunningham has a dual background in astrology and psychotherapy, with a Masters in Social Work from Columbia University and over 30 years experience as a professional astrologer. She considers doing the astrology charts of children to be a sacred trust. It is a way of knowing who these Indigo children are on their own terms rather than as their families, teachers, and society expect them to be.



In these sessions, she focuses on typical childhood concerns such as family and peer relationships, the best educational approaches, and the child's special gifts and abilities. She can be reached for consultations at (503)291-7891, by email, or at her web page. Ask about her special rate for children's charts.



Donna is also co-editor of Vibration and a frequent contributor. She has written fourteen books on astrology and other metaphysical topics, including her Flower Remedies Handbook. Astrologers who want to know the special considerations involved in doing children's charts can read the chapter on this topic in Donna's text, The Consulting Astrologer's Guidebook.



Listed in several Who’s Who volumes, she has given seminars on astrology around the world and won the prestigious Regulus Award at the 1998 UAC.
