Planets in Houses: Mars in the Fourth House

by
DR. Wm. M. DAVIDSON

If Mars was in the FOURTH HOUSE at the moment of your birth, it will affect your life as follows:

Disposition

This inclines you to show more forcefulness in home life than elsewhere. You will experience more unrest in the home. You are inclined to be more concerned with home and garden and to tinker with things there. You are very sensitive to environmental, climatic conditions. Avoid being drawn into domestic quarrels and especially discussions of things of the past. Be not too concerned with fighting improper things in your environment, nor over-solicitous about your family. Unless well supported, you should avoid domestic disputes.

Gainfulness

This tends to concern you with building or agricultural activities and the use of machinery therein, the results depending upon the aspects. It also relates to manual repair work, to heating arrangements, boring of wells, and especially activities in factories. Also, with iron and steel business, surgery and dentistry, athletic buildings, stadiums, abbatoirs and such like buildings. Businesses connected with metal work supplies, farm fencing, cattle barns, storage tanks for acids, are all under this rulership. Real estate speculation is included, litigation connected with real estate. Whenever there is a real estate boom you are affected thereby according to the aspects – good or bad. Mining, especially manual boring or digging, and exterminator work as well as sewer cleaning, are all under this rulership. And, businesses connected with brothers or sisters.

Things - Circumstances

All things connected with home, building, land, real estate, agriculture. Public gatherings of an unruly nature. Litigation regarding domestic affairs. Family rows. Fire damage to the home. Attempted housebreak. Financial affairs of brothers or sisters. Legal deeds and documents about money matters. Automobile transactions. Real estate boomlets. Mining litigation, all are covered by this.

Health

There is much stomach irritation. Anger tends to produce an excess of hydrochloric acid tending thus to gastritis and even functional ulceration. Guard against foreign bodies being accidentally swallowed or enclosed in your food; also wounds to the stomach have passing danger. Probably a poor sailor. In youth very liable to infections contacted in the home environment. Avoid animals around the home. Avoid defective sewage and unguarded water supplies. Liable to children’s diseases late in life. Ill temper produces gall bladder disturbance.

Marriage

Parents-in-law tend to be active in your life according to aspects. Your mate is always liable to condemnation, criticism and quarrels with superiors and to suffer reverses in business due to rashness. Credit not good. Your partner should be careful of associates who are in disrepute as trouble sometimes comes through this. There is frequently some virulent secret enemy of the fiancée which shows up before marriage and clouds the horizon somewhat.

People

This position relates to employees of friends, wife of employer, employer’s partner (if any) your boss’s assistant. Children of your enemies and the friends of your employees. The advantage or disadvantage through them depends upon the aspects. Your father tends to aggressiveness and so induces mother’s marital troubles. Second child gets into disrepute.

Attunement

To get the best out of this position and avoid its disabilities you should realize that it basically represents energy which flows into your emotional nature which you tend to project into the home and its surroundings. Fire destroys but can cook as well. Your energies allowed to flow into destructive things as listed above tend to produce difficulties. But if you use this force constructively and turn or aim it into useful things, it can bring you great benefit. In your career you should be careful to use your energies ever constructively for over aggressiveness of a destructive type will bring you reverses whereas your whole success can flow from your dynamicness rightly directed.
