Mercury in the 4th House, day to day
Budha in house 4 lodges the wish to learn at the heart of your home. At your place, there are books, screens, notebooks, conversations that go on and on. You like people to talk at the table, to share a piece of news, to ask a question about the world.
In childhood, you may have grown up with someone who loved to read or explain, or you may have taught yourself alone in your room. Later, you turn your home into a place of study or remote work, and you are comfortable there.
With your mother or your close family, exchanges go through words. You need things explained to you, and you explain them yourself. A prolonged silence at home makes you uneasy.
You may analyze your feelings too much and lack simple rest.
A tip for living this placement well: set up a comfortable reading or study corner at home. Create a conversation ritual with your loved ones, one meal a week without phones. Your curiosity will make your home a lively and soothing place.
The 4th house is about the mother, the home and inner peace. To read all about Budha, open the Budha guide.
