A journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step. The dispositor of the 4th house is in imprisonment. At a low level, this placement of the 4th house gives a pessimistic life position. Capricorn resonates with long and difficult tasks requiring great patience and self-sacrifice. But they originate from within, from the depths of the person’s soul, and nothing promises him the support that will inevitably come through working with the house; until it arrives, he feels bad and lonely. Childhood is marked by strict upbringing and feelings of loneliness. In case of affliction—deprivation. In a harmonious variant, Spartan upbringing does not break the person; achievable goals are set for him, and he affirms himself, experiencing first glimpses of religious feeling, by reaching them. This house placement gives a unique kind of religious feeling arising from the depths of the person’s being, provided he correctly realizes his karmic program. At a moderate level, the person self-asserts, confirming his life stance along the lines of “if a person truly works, knows how to adapt, and doesn’t show off, he will ultimately achieve his goals.” At a low level, the typical pessimistic stance: “All my plans always fail.” At home, this person most likely feels uncomfortable. He does not concern himself with issues like peeling wallpaper or a cracked pane in the window—he will live just as well without fixing them. Through his inner asceticism, he may spoil his family, which could deprive him of means of subsistence or, conversely, lead to poverty, if his life attitudes are insufficiently defined. He is unlikely to achieve comfort and harmonious family relationships before the age of 30–40, especially in this case. Probably, he speaks to his children on the phone from work (10th house-Cancer) much more gently than at home.
Houses in Signs. Alexander Kostovich
Usually a difficult position. Firm and grounded life positions, sometimes accompanied by a pessimistic worldview. The foundation of the personality rests upon the concept of duty, certain self-restriction, and asceticism. Processing occurs through the development of soulfulness and emotional qualities. The Soul’s motivation for this incarnation could be connected with the desire for power, high social status, possibly indicating very ancient karma, a deep past.
Pavlo Globa. Houses in Signs
CAPRICORN—pessimistic worldview. The person is fixated on parental family stereotypes and at the same time feels burdened by them, experiencing loneliness. The home is stable and solid, but uncomfortable and cold. In the family—constant difficulties and trials. In childhood—strict upbringing and estrangement from parents. If the house is afflicted—old age spent in a nursing home.
