What it means
What matters most is your own home, family, roots; you recover at home. Often there is a strong tie to your father or to a family business.
The flip side is that attachment to home keeps you from leaving and trying new things.
Not about you if home is just a place to sleep for you, and roots do not interest you.
How to check it on yourself
Each statement below may turn out to be false about you — that’s how it’s written. Check it against your past, and write your answer down before you compare it with the chart. The first item checks the calculation itself, the rest — the interpretation.
If your Sun is in the 4th house
What should match. Your birth time falls in the last third of the interval from sunset to true midnight — shortly before midnight. Sunrise and sunset for the day and city of your birth are in any astronomical calendar; true noon is exactly halfway between them, true midnight is twelve hours after noon.
When it’s not about you. The time on your birth record doesn’t fall in this window and is more than a quarter of an hour from its edge — then the wrong time, time zone or city went into the calculation, and the houses in the chart aren’t yours. This checks the calculation, not the interpretation.
If you have the Sun in the 4th house
What should match. Think of where you recover your strength. In at least two cases out of three, it is at home, not on a trip or in company.
When it’s not about you. More often outside the home — then this is not about you.
