— 4th House Survival Patterns by Sign

The 4th house is your emotional shell — the version of you that retreats when the world feels unsafe. When you're misunderstood, rejected, or overwhelmed, this is where your soul goes to survive.

♈ Aries in the 4H

You hide in anger. You armor up. You convince yourself you don’t care and burn bridges before they collapse. Solitude becomes your battlefield — if no one understands you, at least you’re still in control.

♉ Taurus in the 4H

You hide in stillness. You cocoon yourself in comfort — food, blankets, silence, the same playlist on loop. You stop changing, stop reaching, stop hoping. If you can’t be seen for who you are, you become immovable.

♊ Gemini in the 4H

You hide in distraction. You tell jokes, talk to strangers, change your story mid-sentence. You keep your real self locked behind a thousand versions of “I’m fine.” If no one understands you, they can’t hurt the real you.

♋ Cancer in the 4H

You hide in memory. You become the child again — craving mother, safety, nostalgia. You drown in your feelings, waiting for someone to notice. If no one understands you, you write a diary no one will read.

♌ Leo in the 4H

You hide in pride. You pretend you’re fine — better than fine — while silently aching to be chosen. You perform happiness until the lights go off. If no one understands you, you’ll become the version of yourself they wanted.

♍ Virgo in the 4H

You hide in control. You clean. You fix. You analyze every detail of what went wrong. You tell yourself it’s your fault — because if it’s your fault, you can fix it. If no one understands you, you turn into a quiet machine.

♎ Libra in the 4H

You hide in people-pleasing. You shrink. You become agreeable, likable, palatable. You silence your needs to stay connected. If no one understands you, you become someone they can love — even if it’s not you.

♏ Scorpio in the 4H

You hide in secrets. You withdraw, emotionally detach, and pull the blackout curtains shut. You let pain simmer in silence. If no one understands you, you’d rather be feared than pitied — so you become unknowable.

♐ Sagittarius in the 4H

You hide in escape. You plan trips you’ll never take, dream of far-off places, ghost your own life. Emotionally, you pack a bag and leave. If no one understands you, then they don’t deserve to know where you’re going.

♑ Capricorn in the 4H

You hide in responsibility. You become the parent. The provider. You push feelings aside to hold everything together. If no one understands you, that’s fine — you’ll just carry the weight yourself.

♒ Aquarius in the 4H

You hide in detachment. You convince yourself you never needed them anyway. You intellectualize every feeling until it disappears. If no one understands you, you build your own world and lock the gates.

♓ Pisces in the 4H

You hide in fantasy. You disappear into daydreams, memories, music. You become emotionally unreachable. If no one understands you, you’ll dissolve into mist before they ever notice you were there.

We were only getting a dog because my mom was worried about home invaders which was a bit insane as we were out in the country and we’d left our German Shepherd down in Arizona with my dad for complicated reasons.

I turned the corner and saw him. Instant connection. He was curled up dozing, all blue and white freckles with red ears and feeties. His clipboard said “SLY” in huge red letters. I called it softly and he opened his eyes, ears perking. He roused to sleepily amble toward me, lick my fingers, then go lay back down.

My mom joined me in dismay, seeing the love dripping off of me. She hadn’t wanted a puppy but it was clear which dog we were going home with.

Sly was a monstrous puppy. Fans of cattle dogs will be unsurprised to learn he was exceedingly clever, mischievous and Bored a Lot. It turned out his name hadn’t been Sly. It was Billy. But I think we all know why a huge red warning had been applied to his kennel. We named him Sly anyway.

My mom doesn’t remember threatening in earnest to bring him back but it happened. Sly loved to chew. He had no interest in fetch or most toys but he adored chewing. I lost headphones, backpack straps, and pillows to his voracious teething. We tried to dissuade him. He just learned to chew when we weren’t looking. Then one day, clever but not smart, he set his teeth to a plugged in cord and electrocuted himself. He was fine, just really startled!

Thus ended the chewing, forever.

He wouldn’t even pick up toys. He was fully convinced having things in his mouth was only a matter of time before they turned on him. He’d run after a ball at dog parks, grab it in the euphoria of the chase, then immediately spit it out.

He was still a lot of dog and my moms rumblings about his poor behavior led me to join 4H with him. My friend Lia was in with her spaniels so I had an in. We did twice weekly training in obedience and showmanship.

That was it. Sly transformed into the best dog. From a bored unmanageable puppy he became a partner, ready to work on whatever we needed to work on. He learned buckets of commands, eager to please. Sit, down, wait, stand, front, back up, shake, roll, heel. The only thing we could never convince him to do was speak. His bark was reserved for Danger.

We went to compete in the county fair together, entering obedience trials and dog show portions.

The instructions are clearly stated before obedience testing. A dog must stay sitting for two minutes when told to stay, and three minutes for laying down. If our dog broke we were not supposed to speak to reissue commands, simply wait quietly.

It was us in a line with five other dogs. He passed the sitting part just fine. The down one was longer and a wretched golden retriever broke. But then his trainer pulled out a ball and started trying to redirect him with it. The other dogs watched with interest but stayed down. Sly started up. He desperately wanted to herd the golden back into place.

With elbows off the ground he froze, realizing his mistake. His head whipped to me. In silence, I swept my arm down in the nonverbal command for down. He dropped obediently and watched me fixedly for the rest of the time. I think he could feel my disappointment.

We failed.

But the judge came up to us afterward as I was petting him and said, “I was so impressed your dog knows nonverbal commands, and that other dog was so distracting! Let’s retest with the next batch.”
