Four – 4
Opening the point of support to a place of foundation, equanimity and force in a balanced state
The number Four (4) represents structure and is the basis of foundation, solidity of form and function and endurance or permanence.
Four indicates change (as in the four seasons), versatility (as in the four elements) and a nice solid equi-sided base upon which to build from those changes a versatile nature of enduring qualities.
This is the energy that can endure as pressure is put upon it internally and externally.
The planetary energy of Uranus is the planet associated with the number Four.
Prior to inclusion of the 3 outer planets, the Sun served double duty for the numbers 1 and 4.
Its quality is that of pure energy and catalytic stream that pulses life into everything it encounters.
This energy serves to bring to light the varied ways that structure may be created as it draws to itself magnetically (similar to the energy of the Sun) everything that will bolster a structure that will support in a stimulating way.

Astrology: The House of Family
The Fourth House is concerned with those you call family.
These are your biological family as well as those who you may consider to be your family of nurturance.
This is the energy of the home life and those who are supportive. The ruling astrological sign is that of Cancer.
Cancer is the quintessential representation of desire for a loving and supportive home.
Its natural energy is one of comfort and creation of a home that is both sanctuary and place of caring community.
When we are blessed with this type of support it becomes the foundation that enables us to reach out to others from a place of understanding and love.

Tarot: The Emperor
Tarot Key IV – The Emperor sits as merciful authority and king needing nothing but his own Divine wisdom to guide his actions. This energy gives insight into the discipline required to sit as master of one’s own destiny.
All actions taken are reflected back to the Emperor and his final authority determines the force and quality of what that final seed of potential will become as it is transformed by merciful action.

Qabalah: Chesed- Mercy
Chesed is the Fourth Sphere.
Within its energy is the ability to see thee bigger picture and make informed judgement based upon that vision.
This is the action of Mercy when it relies upon a broader perspective from which to draw its conclusions.
Everything depends upon this precarious balance of equi-lateral view that hangs on the tip of the blade that will determine its final outcome.
The essence of the fourth sphere of Chesed is one of achieving a state of balance through compassion, mercy and right action.
The Four pushes and strains expanding and seeking the sweet product of change as the orderly disruption breaks through as Five………
