Mars in the 4th house
Mars in the 4th house: energy poured into home and family, a protective instinct and a strong base to defend.
Meaning
Under the Earth lies the 4th, which Hellenistic astrologers called the Subterranean, and Mars there works where few can see. The house is angular, so the planet is strong, though it acts more in private than in public. Tradition reads a protective drive for home and family, and old tensions turned into resolve.
In the 4th house, Mars puts energy, ambition and a competitive edge into home, family and roots.
