When the ruler of the third house is in the fourth house, it means that your home and family are a lot on your mind. It could also mean that you think a lot about your background, native customs and country. Parents may be on your mind a lot as well, and there could be a lot of communication with them.
This placement means that your mind was very much influenced by the country you were born in and the parents that you have. Of course, everyone is influenced by such matters, but you – even more so.
So there may be many things that you do with no conscious awareness that reflect your country and parents. This is good if your parents were a great example, and not so good if your parents leave much to be desired.
So in your case, it’s very important to be mindful of how you behave, and watch yourself always, so that your real individuality arises, and you shed that which is simply an inheritance.
How you communicate also is influenced by the parents that you had and the country you grew up in. So how you communicate, for example, could be very similar to how your parents talk.
Your country also left a big impact on who you are. If you love your country, that is quite good, with the exception that there could be some undesirable qualities in that too, such as thinking that your country is the greatest, etc. (because that prevents the right view).
However, this powerful impact that the country left on you can be negative too, such as when you dislike it and its customs, yet you are from there. It’s important, in such a case, to make peace with your country, and again, to watch yourself; as often what we hate reflects what’s within us, yet what we don’t see.
Your parents and country influence your thought patterns and form your beliefs, and they also influence the changes in your life. So, for example, the political changes in your country can influence you needing to move homes; or your parents influence you to change your mind and life.
These two influences – parents and your country – can also be the trigger to make changes without them actually doing anything to make this happen.
For example, you see how your parents made mistakes, and you consciously change your life to prevent such mistakes from happening to you (so the parents didn’t directly influence you, but your observation of their actions did).
Also, because of your parents or the influence of your country, you may need to travel quite a lot, nationally or close-by. For example, because of inheriting the worldview of your parents, this makes you experience many changes in your life, frequent moving of houses, as well as travels.
With the ruler of the third house in the fourth house, your mind will also be preoccupied with the need for stability. You will come up with ideas of how to make yourself more established in life. You will also think a lot about having your own home, and once you have your home, you’ll come up with many ideas about how to improve your living situation.
If you have siblings, you may sometimes invite them to stay at your home, or they may need to stay in your home in case some misfortune happens to them and they lose their home. You may also invite your neighbors to stay with you.
Your home may feature in the neighborhood for one reason or another, such as that it looks good, that it’s open to neighbors, or because the neighbors talk about it.
Staying in touch with your siblings, being active in your neighborhood, and interacting with neighbors will give you more stability in life.
If you want to feel at home in a new area you moved into, go out and make friends with the people living nearby, and join local groups. This gives a stabilizing influence to your life, according to this astrological placement.
Also, writing will make you feel more stable in life, so you will do well having a diary.
Sometimes, this placement means that for some reason, one or both parents could not look after you, and a sibling or a person living nearby had to be your guardian.
The ruler of the third house in the fourth house also shows that in order to buy a property, you may need to take quite a few trips, and there will be some twists and turns, as well as rushing to acquire it.
Your home will be a lot on your mind, and you may talk a lot about it, as well as about your family or parents. When someone starts a conversation about homesteading, gardening, houses or lands, you are likely to enjoy it and contribute quite a lot to the conversation.
