Aspects
Imum Coeli Conjunction Mars
Your foundation is forged in energy and conflict. With Mars on your Imum Coeli, the fourth-house base of the chart, drive, heat, and a fighting spirit run through your home and roots: you may come from an energetic or combative household, carry early experiences of family anger or conflict, and have a strong urge to defend your turf and build a base of your own. There is restless, physical energy at the foundation of your life. The gift is the courage and drive to construct and protect a home, and a vital, active private world. The shadow is domestic strife, anger from the family of origin, or an early home that did not feel safe. The lifelong work is to turn the fire at your base into building rather than battle.
Lean in — Turn the fire at your base into building rather than battle.
Watch for — Carry forward the family anger into your own home as strife.
