The fourth house, much like a mother figure, governs your comfort, privacy, peace of mind, nourishment, security and everything you keep close and private. As part of the Moksha Trikona, the triangle of salvation, it also connects your soul to spirituality. The second house, meanwhile, governs your family, its lineage, your wealth and assets, and all the things you value, along with the resources of daily life such as food and drink, and it shapes your voice and speech through its rule over the throat.
