The Fourth House

The base of operations can be found in this house because it rules your home. The Fourth House, ruled by Cancer and the Moon, gives a view into your domestic affairs and the nature of one’s residence. Look to this house to determine whether you will eventually stay or leave your place of birth; and the advantages to be gained from either. 

Traditionally, this house rules the mother, as Cancer and the Moon are the natural rulers, however, it will more likely be ruled by the parent that has nurtured the early life of the individual.  It determines how one will govern their family. This house also governs property gained through inheritance as well as the general conditions at the close of life.
