Who look outside dreams; who looks inside wakes. -Karl Jung
In the first house we are virtually unaware of ourselves in any objective sense. In the second house we discover that we have our own shape and boundary which distinguish us from everything else. In the third house we turn our attention to what surrounds us in our immediate environment. As we reach Nadir / 4th house it`s time to pause and assimilate what we have learned. 
4th house in addition to describing our inherited origins and that which resides deep within us is associated with the home base in general. 
What kind of atmosphere do we create in the home? 
What do we attract to ourselves there?
What qualities in the home environment do we most naturally resonate with?
planets in 4th house gives the answers to above questions.

4H depicts our origin and also associated with how we end things.
Venus in 4H ends things neatly and fairly, all tied up in  a pretty bundle. Saturn may prolong or begrudge an ending, Moon often slips away quietly and peacefully. Mars ' go out with a bang'
4H also suggest the conditions surrounding the second half of life. What is most deep in purselves comes out at the end.
Psychotherapy, self-reflection, various forms of meditation- everything which takes us into ourselves - brings the energies of 4H to the surface.
