The fourth house sits at the lowest point of the chart, and means it: origins, the family you came from, the house you actually live in, and what you are like when nobody is watching.
It is traditionally read for one parent and the end of life as well: the beginning and the ending of the arc, both kept in the same private place.

Which planets fall here depends on your birth time to the minute. Cast the chart. It is free, and it will say honestly if the time you have is not enough to place them.
