Mars in the 4th house
Mars in the 4th house puts its fire into home and family. Protective, busy at home and shaped by a lively family life, you fight hardest for the people and place you call your own.
You have painted every room in every place you have lived, usually in the first week.
Your fourth house is the house of home, family and roots, and Mars, your drive and anger, was in it when you were born. Your drive turns toward the place you live and the people in it.
Busy at home
You keep improving where you live: building, fixing, moving furniture, starting a garden. Home is where you work hardest, and the fruit of that work is a place that is yours through and through.
Your temper and your loyalty live under the same roof. You argue with the people you live with more than with anyone else, and you would fight the whole world for them with the same heat.
Family fire
You grew up with strong feelings in the house, a parent with a temper or a family that argued and made up. You learned to stand your ground early. Now you defend your own family fiercely.
Anger behind closed doors
The risk is that frustration from outside comes home. The people closest to you see a temper that colleagues never do.
When you walk in the door angry, take ten minutes before you say anything.
The protector
Nobody messes with your family twice, and everyone in it knows who would show up first.
Were you born with Mars in the 4th house?
The houses are drawn from the horizon at the minute and the place you were born, and the whole wheel of them turns once a day, so the house a planet stands in depends on your birth time. Two people born on the same day can have Mars in different houses.
Your chart, below, places Mars in its house and every other planet in theirs.
