Icarus in the 4th House
Icarus in your 4th house brings daring to home, family, and roots. You may take bold risks to break free of your origins or seek exhilaration in your private foundations. The gift is the courage to leave the nest and fly; the work is to keep a secure base so the flight from home does not become a reckless, rootless escape.
Lean in — Find the courage to leave the nest and fly.
Watch for — Flee your roots so recklessly you lose all secure base.
