Saturn transit House 4

Saturn transit House 4 tend to give a period where the native is unable to maintain good relations with the family members and decide to break ties with a view that the relationship can’t be reclaimed. The native is flooded with obstacles and problems in every area of life which make the native very serious and least interested in entertainment. Even with the utmost efforts, the native remains devoid from all the worldly comforts and become troublesome. If the Saturn is powerful, then the native has good mental capabilities and solve all the problems strongly and boldly. But if the Saturn is debilitated, then the native has poor mental capabilities and unable to come out of the problems. Due to this, the native may land up in mental depression and lose self-confidence. The native suffers from many diseases. Since fourth house indicates native`s mother, the health of mother is also adversely affected during this period. By the end of this transit, the native masters over his inner strengths and look forward towards life with hope and optimism.

House 4 rules home and family matters, so the main lesson Saturn transit House 4 will bring to you will be in this area. You should work to strengthen your family relations and your relationships with relatives. If you have a conflict with someone in your family and you believe that it cannot be resolved, you may decide to break the relationship with that person. You may decide to take more responsibility for your family or a family member. You may also decide to make changes in your home - renovation, reorganization or cleaning. This transit alone does not indicate that you will be moving. Sometimes you may encounter problems with your health and career. 

Saturn transit House 4 is an extremely important time to focus on your inner personal life and any problems in your domestic life will be critical to resolve, as you no longer will be able to put up with relationships and behaviours that you have been used to until now. Even your home itself may become an issue and burden because of payments or repairs. You may also have to take on a parental role for someone during this time and it is important to ensure it is a relationship of growth and not codependence. You will want to start to move forward with your ambitions and goals and the fourth house is known as the foundation of your horoscope, so it is important to feel secure about yourself. Inner problems that you do not clear up will be the source of issues in the years ahead. It is good to get off to a good start. 

Saturn transit House 4

Saturn transit House 4 may be seem less dynamic that some of the other Saturn transits but often, in retrospect, it is seen that it marks an important turning point. Things may feel cramped at home. Perhaps there are improvements that need to be made, broken things that need fixing or worn out items that need replacing. Your home may not feel big enough which necessitates clearing clutter. It’s possible that you may ‘down-size’ at this time to save on resources. Maybe you feel your home isn’t working for you and you want it to be more ‘functional’. Sometimes Saturn transit House 4 may indicate that your home feels like a burden; perhaps you are waiting to move but the market is slow. It may indicate having to take on more responsibility than usual, for example caring for an elderly parent or dealing with a sick relative. Domestic duties may increase. Your home is your private retreat; the place where you should feel safe, secure and comfortable. Saturn passing through this area of your chart is rather like a feng shui expert exploring your home with an objective eye. Your home is a symbol of yourself and things that aren’t working there may represent aspects of yourself that have been neglected. Saturn will point out what needs to be fixed to help energy flow again.

With Saturn transit House 4, you work on strengthening your home base, your family, and your inner foundation. You could clean up your home, remodel, or move, though none of those things will likely go smoothly and some blocks/delays occur. You can focus on issues with your family and try to work through them to strengthen the ties you have with them. You may decide to cut ties with a family member, recognizing that the relationship can’t be saved. You can take on more responsibility with your family, trying to help them as best as you can. You may feel like you’re too restricted in your life as this transit begins, and have to deal with whatever issues are causing that restriction. This is a good time to tackle your inner foundation and try to make it stronger, more solid, and something durable that will sustain you for some time.

On a deeper emotional level, House 4 represents your private self. It is the house of belonging and where you feel rooted. It is your past history and shows what you need in order to function well in the outside world. When Saturn transit House 4, you are entering a period of deep emotional re-structuring. Old issues may resurface if they haven’t already been dealt with. Past attachments that have outworn their welcome may resurface. Saturn helps to break down any conditioning that restricts you from being the person you want to be – and the person you would like others to see. This period may feel like it passes slowly. Life may be quiet with less accent on career and socialising. Some people experience a sense of despondency or loneliness. Learning to like your own company can be a feature of this transit. In a way, Saturn could be said to be removing the distractions of the outer world in order to give you time to focus on the inner world and the work that needs to be done. Your inner sense of security and the ability to support yourself grows during this transit. Being responsible to yourself and for yourself is a key theme. Saturn is encouraging you to do the ground-work. You are building a foundation for the future. If you want to change your career or start your own business, Saturn transit House 4 offers you the perfect time to put your foot on the first rung of the ladder. By the end of this transit you should see that you have become stronger, wiser and that you are in a better place to achieve your goals than you were before.

Saturn transit House 4 marks a time of considerable inner “re-working”. In terms of outward signs of achievement, this transit may be the most unremarkable of all the Saturn transits. However, near the end of the transit, and certainly later than that, you will recognize this stage as a critical one in which you made some life-changing personal and psychological advances and developments. During this stage, you are working on solidifying your identity, exploring your roots (where you came from), so that when Saturn begins its transit through the fifth house, you will be ready to differentiate yourself from others and embark on some important work on your ego.

A feeling of being alone and unsupported in life may dominate the early stages of Saturn transit House 4

For now, however, you will face issues surrounding your attachments to the past. Sometimes this manifests as literal re-organization of your home. Moving house is not associated with this transit as it would if, for example, Uranus was the transiting planet. If moves are made, you might encounter some resistance in yourself. This is not a time when you feel particularly brave in the outer world. However, reorganization in your home, and more importantly, in your soul, embodies the true nature of this transit. Many will go through a major “spring cleaning” inside. Limitations that came from early family conditioning will be brought to the fore. At first, there may be some frustration with your life to date, and how you have limited your opportunities because of early conditioning. A feeling of being alone and unsupported in life may dominate the early stages of this transit. Sometimes, delays and slowdowns are experienced in the areas of health, mobility, and career. As Saturn moves closer to the fifth house, a feeling of some kind of mastery will empower you.

When Saturn transit House 4, the need for security and achievement influences your home, family and roots. You’re moving away from dealing with the inner processes of thought and self-knowledge, and towards your domestic world and feelings. Saturn transit House 4 brings up issues around basic security and survival, and your need for belonging and putting down roots. It encourages you to take your position in the community more seriously and build a more stable home environment. How this plays out depends on your age and circumstances. You might decide to move house or make changes to your living conditions. Where you live might not feel like home any more, perhaps it’s too small, or you want to live in a different neighbourhood. Other possibilities include buying or inheriting land, building your own home or renovating, the death or loss of a parent, and the birth of a child. You may become more aware of your obligations to your family, or perhaps need to define your boundaries more clearly as an individual.

Whatever happens, how you feel about it is important because the outer event reflects inner changes. You’re returning home to yourself so you can establish a firm foundation from which to continue growing. It’s an opportunity to explore your security needs and to find out exactly where true security is found – within. You may feel like withdrawing from the world to contemplate the issues and feelings that come up now. You may become more interested in your family’s roots and past, and psychological or physical problems that you’ve inherited may come up now and demand to be understood and dealt with. Saturn transit House 4 encourages you to come to terms with the family fate and to reconcile yourself to its legacy. This could be a positive legacy, as well as a more challenging one. You can discover how your life has become what it is, and how you have become who you are in relation to your roots.

Everyone is born into a particular family pattern and you’re embedded in it, even if you’ve moved far away from your family home. Saturn helps you to differentiate yourself from your parents so you can become fully individual and be true to yourself. The danger is that you become stuck in old family patterns instead of liberating yourself from them. This isn’t just about your actual parents, but also the inner parents – the mother and father you’ve internalised in the process of growing up. Saturn transit House 4 encourages you to work out who you’re going to be in relation to your family. You can discover how much of their legacy you want to make your own, and then find a way to embody it in your own way. You might unearth family secrets or repressed emotions from experiences that have shaped you and controlled your life from the unconscious. If so, there may be a struggle as you free yourself from these emotional patterns in order to grow into the individual you want to become.

Of course, how much you can free yourself depends on the age you are when this transit happens. If you’re young, it will mark a time of the family fate acting upon you, the legacy of which you’ll deal with the next time Saturn passes this way, about 28 years later. Possibilities with Saturn transit House 4: tracing the family tree, old memories resurfacing, redecorating or renovating your home, moving home and undergoing psychotherapy. Watch out in particular for: death of a parent, haunted by the past, getting trapped in co-dependency and home a burden, perhaps unable to sell. Ultimately, Saturn transit House 4 is about building a more secure foundation of inner security from which you can launch yourself out into the world. You have the opportunity to discover what nourishes your soul and makes you feel safe, and gives you a sense of belonging. It’s also about laying the foundations for long-term ambitions in your career because this is the lowest position in the chart and from this point on, Saturn begins to move upward. Any inner problems that you don’t deal with now will cause difficulties for you in about 14 years when Saturn crosses your Midheaven. So now is the time to build a solid base of operations.
