FOURTH
HOUSE MOON
The
House of Home and Parents - The field of heredity
Base
of operations. Psychological roots. All that surrounds, protects, and
nourishes the self. Family and racial traditions. The mother. The
end of life. Early subconscious conditioning. The place of residence.
This
placement of the Moon gives a wistful desire for peace and contentment which
is often denied by a restless, unsatisfied nature. Many changes of residence
and frequent renovations within the home may betray "an edifice
complex" springing from a need to see one's inner self reflected in one's
surroundings.
A
powerful maternal influence - constructive or destructive as the case may be -
can underlie a lifelong search for, or effort to serve as, a mother figure.
More commonly, a preoccupation with food, antiques, ancient customs,
genealogy, old houses, and all such appurtenances of gracious living, grows
out of the craving to feel a sense of continuity with the best that the past
has to offer.
