The Fourth House in Astrology

A deep dive into the meaning of the 4th house in astrology, examining the birth charts of more than 50 notable figures who have the ruler of the Ascendant in the 4th, with astrologers Chris Brennan and Nick Dagan Best.

In a birth chart the 4th house primarily signifies: home, parents, family, private life, secrets, the past, death, and matters after death.

We open the episode by talking about the significations of the fourth house in detail, and discussing the way that it was conceptualized both in ancient astrology and in more recent times.

Afterwards the rest of the episode is focused on looking at examples of people who have the ruler of the Ascendant in the fourth house, and these have been arranged into groups that concentrate on specific topics.

After that we have some brief concluding remarks before wrapping up.
