Uranus in the fourth house
Uranus in the fourth house describes roots that did not stay put. There may be many addresses in childhood, a family that broke with its own traditions, or a parent who was present in an unconventional way. Home is valued and also periodically dismantled; the household runs on rules it invented rather than inherited ones. The end of matters, this house's older subject, tends to arrive as a clean break rather than a slow fade. The work is to make a place that can be left and returned to, and to belong somewhere without being bound by it.

Which sign holds it
Under whole-sign houses the rising sign settles every other house at once. If you know your Ascendant, this is the sign your fourth house holds and the planet that rules it.
| Aries rising | Cancer · ruled by Moon |
|---|---|
| Taurus rising | Leo · ruled by Sun |
| Gemini rising | Virgo · ruled by Mercury |
| Cancer rising | Libra · ruled by Venus |
| Leo rising | Scorpio · ruled by Mars |
| Virgo rising | Sagittarius · ruled by Jupiter |
| Libra rising | Capricorn · ruled by Saturn |
| Scorpio rising | Aquarius · ruled by Saturn |
| Sagittarius rising | Pisces · ruled by Jupiter |
| Capricorn rising | Aries · ruled by Mars |
| Aquarius rising | Taurus · ruled by Venus |
| Pisces rising | Gemini · ruled by Mercury |
Quadrant systems such as Placidus cut the houses by the angles instead, so a planet near a cusp can land in a different house from the whole-sign answer. The chart page shows both.
Reading it in context
A keynote is a starting point, not a verdict. What Uranus actually does in your fourth house depends on its sign, its aspects, its dignity, and whether it is in sect. Two people with the same placement and different charts around it live it differently.
