We all enter earth through the gates of the 4th house. The IC is the 4th house cusp, positioned at the very bottom of the horoscope. It’s where we are given the foundation, tools, and support of family, ancestors, descendants, and spirit guides to reach the top of the horoscope, the mountain peak of the 10th house. The 4th house is ruled by Cancer, the glyph symbolising the cycle of the beginning and ending of life. It conserves our story, it’s our silent biographer and recorder of past and present lives. We are reminded of this process when people comment that old age is just as infancy is, the reliance, the vulnerability of needing others, and the unspoken trust that you will be looked after and taken care of.

You can find the ruler of your 4th house cusp by looking at the sign at the very bottom of your horoscope

Psychological Base

Libra Midheaven~Aries IC: If you stripped everything away there is a tired and overwhelmed child screaming to be heard. It can seem like a battle to remember and regain childhood

Scorpio Midheaven~Taurus IC: The core of this nature is immensely entranced and tranquil, there is a stillness the person can envelope into, an inner world that cascades with beauty and safety

Sagittarius Midheaven~Gemini IC: Stripping away of defences can reveal a very unstable and lost core, slipping on quicksand, it can be hard to feel internally still

Capricorn Midheaven~Cancer IC: The psychological base is deeply emotional and expressive of inherited heritage and psychic abilities, there is powerful emotional resilience 

Aquarius Midheaven~Leo IC: If you stripped everything away there is a raw vulnerability in this nature, an abandonment fear that requires close and constant validation

Pisces Midheaven~Virgo IC: The base temperament is highly self critical and afraid of failing, the person feels like they are never ready or equipped for the world

Aries Midheaven~Libra IC: The core of this nature is largely based on forming connections and creating meaningful relationships that guide them into finding their true identity 

Taurus Midheaven~Scorpio IC: The person has a psychological depth that is unspeakable and experienced privately, the nature is relentless, intense, and evocative of darkness

Gemini Midheaven~Sagittarius IC: The base temperament is restless and conflicted, longing for a safe foundation while trying to run from everything

Cancer Midheaven~Capricorn IC: If you stripped everything away there would be a resounding amount of pain and loss here, self satisfaction can be difficult 

Leo Midheaven~Aquarius IC: The person can feel disconnected from themselves and separate from memories, childhood, or parents, it can feel like they will never find home

Virgo Midheaven~Pisces MC: The core nature is innately psychic and receptive, the person had a sense of being different as a child
