Follow the Moonlit Path: Come Home to Yourself in the Astrological Fourth House

by Jessica Shepherd

Come Home to Your Deepest Self In grade school, we all had quiet friends, or maybe we were that friend. The shy, smart, imaginative, funny kid who you’d tell all your secrets to, and you could always count on as a lunch companion? Fourth house planets are that quiet kid. Naturally introverted, they prefer interior spaces, the world of imagination. They need a certain environment to flower, and they rely on you to create that for them. Are you centered in this innermost you, or have you become distracted, too? There’s never been a more perfect time to nourish this overlooked part of yourself. Join Jessica on an imaginative treasure hunt into the midnight heart of the birth chart. From family skeletons to the nature of your soul’s mates and tribe, from what your heart longs to experience in the place you call home to how to feel at home in yourself during this time of great change on earth, and more… Follow the moonlit path and breadcrumb clues to arrive home at your deepest self. PRAISE "Your book arrived this week—and in spare moments I’ve been diving in. What a work of art! It’s beautiful and brilliant. There’s so much presence, experience, poetry and passion in the words." -Dana Gerhardt, columnist for The Mountain Astrologer Magazine "Jessica Shepherd, has written another absolutely terrific book. This one delves deeply into the astrology of the fourth house in a really soulful way." -Steven Forrest, author of Skymates and Yesterday's Sky

3,5 stars.
Very good for beginners in astrology, to understand the 4th house better and to get more context on it separately from the other houses.

There wasn’t that much new for me, but I appreciate what she has done with it.
The description for my 4th house cusp was on point! It gave me some inspiration.
I liked that she talked about ancestral healing work and the questions at the end for reflection to clear ancestral wounds. And she incorporates astrocartography, which I liked, because not many talk about it and I‘d like to learn more.

See Yourself Clearly

This book gave me what I have needed to both find a deeper understanding of myself and offer validation to release long held guilt, remorse and shame. Astrology has given me answers to life questions with more clarity than any other area of study. This book melds ancestral healing, family trauma release and self awareness into a single package. This is a fabulous resource for me in my astrology study as well as for a complete novice to the subject. You will gain deep insight that is so helpful. This is a wonderful book.

This book has deepened my understanding of the forth house. I’ve gained my insight into myself through reading it and will revisit it when looking at other charts.

As a retired astrologer with 35 years' experience, I can tell you that Jessica looks in all the corners of the 4th house with an astute understanding of the planets and the house. As a person with a loaded 4th house, I found her interpretations especially insightful. Most of all, I liked her writing style. This book is as much a memoir as it is an astrology book.

Having read this and her book on the 5th house, i'd happily read any further books especially on houses. There's some good info in here, well presented and enjoyable to read. The information seemed relevant to the people's charts i was referring it to in my head.
There were a couple of errors here and there, - feint-hearted and two consecutive sentences beginning lastly stuck in my mind, but i managed to get through it without highlighting errors for a change!

The astrological information in this little book is super useful. The writing was a challenge for me though. I wanted to edit half of the sentences and I wanted the tone to be different. I felt like I was reading someone's social media posts not a book to be taken seriously. I had to make myself finish because I valued the information but really wanted to speed read it.
