Aries in the 4th House: A Private Life Charged with Bold Energy

Home and Domestic Life

Their home is almost definitely a place of action. A business might be run from it or they might work from home. One way or another, it’s a place where plenty of things are going on because these natives enjoy their home lives being full of action.

That could also, of course, mean having kids and pets running around playing or it could indicate friends and family popping by often, and having a busy life with them.

Prefer to listen? No problem! We all take in information differently! Here’s the article, read by me, on YouTube:

Going on fun trips with their family is really fulfilling for them. Whether it’s a weekend getaway, a day trip, or a spontaneous outdoor adventure, these natives enjoy infusing excitement into their daily domestic routine.

Aries is a sign of leadership so these people feel most comfortable when they’re in charge of the home and directing what goes within it. They need to wear the trousers and pull the strings, so to speak.

It’s vital they have freedom within their own four walls. If they feel it’s being siphoned off somehow, they certainly won’t be happy about it! No one really enjoys being told what to do in their own home but these people won’t tolerate it at all. A home environment that allows them to do as they please is pretty much the only environment that works for them. Such a place allows them to maintain their well-being, enjoy their lives, have fun, and flourish.

Being a Cardinal sign, taking on new and ambitious projects within the home is their strong suit. Finishing them, however, is not so much. Projects that really interest them include redecoration of the home and renovation work. Whatever project they choose to undertake at home, unless it really captures their attention, or they see results fast, they could become distracted or bored and move onto something else. This rather undesirable trait may be offset by a significant presence of earth energy (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn) in the chart because the earth element is known for its patience and persistence.

Property

If they were able to buy their ideal home, they’d own a sizeable property in a natural location like the countryside OR in a bustling city location. For many with this placement, a castle with an intense and captivating history is probably their dream home.

Of course, it should go without saying that most people can’t afford a castle, or even if they could, it may not be feasible for them to live in one…

A home that’s equipped to receive guests on a regular basis, and is easy to maintain so they can quickly clear up after kids, pets and visitors would suit them just as well. And if it happens to have stunning views of nature or the city, all the better!

The Mother

Their mother, or primary caregiver, probably ran the household like a business, taking care of, and keeping a close eye on everything and everyone within it. Far from traditional or subservient in personality, she could have been the parent who called the shots. She was direct, assertive and action-oriented. She also seemed to have an abundance of energy which puzzled her family because she’d normally work non-stop!

Her kids saw her as someone who was in charge and knew what they were doing. She was the person to go to with an issue because she’d swiftly sort it out in a no-nonsense way. And while she may not have been especially warm and fuzzy, her family could generally rely on her to get things done in an efficient manner.

She taught her children to be assertive, confident and to live their best lives no matter what.

Family and Heritage

Their family was warm-hearted and emotional but also fiercely independent. As kids, they may have been encouraged by their family to become self-reliant and pursue their personal goals, hobbies and interests independently and with confidence.

It’s likely that there was a tradition of strong leadership within the family tree. Perhaps some of their siblings, uncles, aunts or cousins played pioneering roles, for instance, as very successful and inspiring researchers, scientists or entrepreneurs. If they look far back enough in their lineage, they might discover a female relative who stood remarkably ahead of her time by campaigning for things like equal rights for women.

In some extreme circumstances, the home may have been a place that saw too much discipline imposed by the mother and/or father or other family members who lived with them. Under such circumstances, growing up may have felt like more of a challenge than an adventure. This holds especially true for those with people whose parents worked in fields related to law and order, like law enforcement or the military.

Emotional Foundations

Simply being physically capable to do all the things they want and need to do in order to thrive at home makes them happy. They might be really hard on themselves if they’re forced to cease their work in or outside of the home for a while. For example, if they come down with a cold, they might feel extremely frustrated if they can’t go to the office.

Generally, being able to pursue their desires and do what they want, when they want, inside and out of the home, provides them with a sense of security. If they were ever to find themselves under the control of others, especially at home, that would quickly make them feel trapped and unhappy. Equally, any attempt at all to restrict their emotional expression would not go down well with them!

Nurturing and Caregiving Tendencies

While they adore children and animals, they may not always have the most patience with them. Even less so with family members their own age and older who might misbehave or attempt to control them. But that absolutely doesn’t mean they don’t love them! They love them fiercely. It’s just that they’re usually so incredibly busy at home they can’t accommodate too many distractions and loss of autonomy.

Their approach with family members, especially those who are dependent on them, involves supporting their personal growth and self-sufficiency to foster a sense of individual autonomy within the household. They also naturally understand that their family needs freedom because they are, after all, individuals with their own needs, wants and goals.

Dealing with The Past

They don’t like to dwell on feelings for extended periods of time and prefer to address emotional matters promptly. Even if their past was difficult, they wouldn’t want to keep going over things. They’d much rather focus on the present and the future and cherish their positive memories.

If their home life was a bit too hectic growing up, that likely changed when they were older. They became more settled in themselves and learned to view life, especially their home life, in a more balanced way. They knew from a young age that if they focused on creating a good life for themselves, that would be the most productive use of their time and energy.

Endings and Closure

The endings they experience with relationships are often quick and fuss-free. They could have been brought about through impulsivity, for example, if they felt neglected by a partner, they could have just called an end to things pretty sharpish.

Their retirement years could be brimming with activity, including physical activity, more so than the next person. They enjoy keeping fit and healthy, watching what they eat and how they spend their time. Some of these people start businesses in their senior years, especially if that’s something they’ve always wanted to do. And why not?! All that wisdom, accrued over a lifetime, should give them a great advantage!

Whatever they do, they’ll need to feel free to do exactly as the please and enjoy themselves. The last thing they would be able to tolerate in their old age is being bossed around by someone.
