Sun in Leo in the Fourth House

Having your Sun in Leo, your loyalty is beyond question. You are devoted to yourself. All individuals with their Sun in Leo possess a kingdom. The kingdom may be big or small, it may be your home or a lover or a piece of creative work or your whole career. But whatever it is, you are unquestioningly ruler of this kingdom. Whatever you do, you do with a flair for the dramatic – everything about you is theatrical.

Your Sun in Leo confers a great flair for drama and an instinct for getting attention. Because your nature is flamboyant and expansive, you despise the humdrum, the ordinary, and the dull. When real life does not supply all the excitement you need, you try to create your own.

With your Sun in Leo you are generous, kind, and openhearted, you find it hard to believe ill of others. If injured, you strike back quickly, but you also forgive easily and never hold a grudge. Marvelously affectionate and cheerful, you have genuine joie de vivre. The Sun is your ruler, and you always bring some sunshine into the lives of others. Obviously, this is one of your most endearing traits. In many ways you are like the Sun itself – life-enhancing, radiating energy and magnetism, burning with steady fixity.

As an individual with your Sun in Leo, no one could ask for a better friend. If approached in the right way (flattery is the right way), you will do almost anything, but you expect praise and appreciation and admiration in return. Pride is your Achilles’ heel. Your ego demands not respect but adoration, not compliments but flattery, and when you receive lavish praise you never stop to wonder if it is insincere. Despite your self-centeredness, you need others to give to if only to get back their appreciation. However, because you’re too proud to ask for appreciation, you often suffer silently from a wounded ego. Your hidden secret is you need to be needed.

With your Sun in Leo, among your most striking characteristics is a refusal to be hampered by petty rules. Day-to-day routine quickly leads to boredom and makes you desperately unhappy. Your unhappiness doesn’t last long, because you simply won’t put up with it. You have an unshakable belief in your luck and quickly bounce back from despondency. It is difficult (though not impossible) to dislike a Leo. True, you can be bombastic and overbearing at times. True, you love to give advice and tell people how to run their lives. But your great warmth and sunny disposition is very hard to resist. The world would be much less fun without Leos.

The Inner You with your Sun in Leo

Your Sun in Leo gives you larger-than-life emotions; whether you’re experiencing joy, despair, excitement, or love, it might as well be playing on a giant movie screen. You feel you have an important role to play in life and you’re going to find it. You need to be involved in the world; in fact, you tend to think of any plan or project that you’re part of as an extension of who you are. You believe in taking action. Your immediate reaction to any problem is to do something about it rather than sit around pondering it. You have a deep-seated need to prove your worth – not to others but to yourself. You’ll tackle any job just so you can say, “I wasn’t afraid to try!”

The sign position of the Sun indicates how we seek to express ourselves, develop ourselves, fulfill ourselves, and assert our will and power to shape our environment. The house position indicates the area of life in which we choose to focus the energy of our Sun sign and fulfill the purpose which it represents.

Sun in the 4th House

With the Sun in the 4th House, the Sun’s placement suggests that your sense of being is introverted and protected. You are likely to feel some need to be sheltered from the harshness and danger of the world. Nurturing and bonding with family often become more important in your self-development than exploring the world or expressing yourself in it. You generally will look for a sense of security so that your being can rest safely.

As an individual with your Sun in the 4th House, your task is to prepare a secure place for yourself and, in the process, often for others as well. You are likely to first look for that sense of security within your home and through your family. Often, the more you can draw your family around you, the more real and alive you feel. Thus, the focus of your energy is often on family matters or the home – the place where the family is brought together and finds security.

Having your Sun in the 4th House, emotional security is also likely to be important to you, particularly emotional security that is derived from nurturing, family support, a sense of heritage and community, and the maintenance of close bonds. However, you may be driven to realize a self-referenced emotional security that is based on confidence in your own inner foundation and rootedness. Your sense of being is often ultimately grounded within your own subconscious.

Insecurities

With your Sun in the 4th House, you are always seeking security and emotional support but you are never satisfied that you have obtained it. You cling to those with whom you have bonded and you become possessive of these relationships. You are always in need of emotional reinforcement, for you feel no independent sense of self-hood and existence. You lack confidence beyond the small realm within which you have chosen to confine yourself.

Having your Sun in the 4th House, your life and identity is dependent on your receiving emotional reward from family members and you may obsessively or neurotically “care” for them in order  to “earn” these rewards. You may constantly worry, partly as a means to justify your existence to yourself and partly in fear that something may happen to your support system. You are afraid to leave your close, comfortable world to explore either your outer or inner world and you try to bind others to your own limitations.

Focus of Your Self-Identity

As an individual with your Sun in the 4th House, you tend to derive your identity from your domestic environment and from your close and family relationships. You often are who your family is or who your family wants you to be. You are likely to identify yourself as a feeling person, a caring and nurturing person and a family provider or care-giver. With you Sun in the 4th House, your identity is likely to be formed or influenced by the level of emotional support you receive from others. Your heritage and family background may also play a role in shaping your identity. You may become interested in your roots in order to discover your own self-identity. With regard to identity issues, you are likely to view self-identity as basic and fundamental to your life and personality.
