黄道十二宫是根据地球南北极连接而成的线为轴心，每二十四小时自转一周而来的。十二宫代表的是所经验的地区、活动领域及演出的场景，每一宫都象征著人生的不同领域，也就是各行星能量散发的“地点”。十二宫还与十二星座息息相关，而十二宫的次序也与人生的进化历程密切配合。

The Fourth House is ruled by the Sign Cancer and the Moon.The Fourth House is commonly referred to as the House of Home. The Fourth House brings things full circle by also addressing old age, endings and our final resting place.

Much of the emphasis of the Fourth House, however, is on the concept of home. By laying down roots, we make a home for ourselves, or more specifically, the self. It's worth noting that in addition to the external home (all the bricks and mortar around us), we have really brought the essential self home. 'I'm home.' The words themselves have a peaceful ring to them. The self is now centered, grounded, one and at peace with the Earth. We seek to come home both physically and psychically, for ourselves and for those we love. By creating home, we create a meeting place, a sanctuary, a sacred place for ourselves and for others.

Looking at things from a strictly tangible point of view, we can see that the Fourth House also encompasses physical structures (houses) and real estate. The Fourth House represents family, history and traditions. All of these contribute to the process of becoming a true, actualized and individualized self. This is how we come home.
