House 4 — House of Inner Ground
Where your heart roots, rests, and remembers home
This is the house that asks what truly makes you feel safe, settled, and inwardly held.
House 4 is the field of home, emotional foundation, inner peace, mothering energy, and belonging. It reveals the roots beneath your outer life — the place where the heart seeks rest, where memory lives, and where the soul asks to feel anchored.
