The fourth house in the horoscope is the native sign for Cancer and is ruled by the planet Moon. It is the House ofhome and learning.
While the first house relates to our identity, second to our values, third to our interests, the fourth leads us to our roots, to our childhood, where we were nurtured, still find comfort and are emotionally at peace.

The fourth house is the sensitive part of our whole being, a place where we want to come back(the secure home), after being out in the world. It relates to our inner emotions, our immovable possessions, our family(specially the mother).
The physical attributes effected by this house is the chest(Including heart and lungs) and breasts.
