Mom & Dad: Your 4th and 9th House 🧔👩👧🏡
How can we see how your parents are represented in your birth chart?
As we know the 4th house represents Mother.
The 9th house represents the father. Some sources consider the 10th house as the house representing the father, however from the Vedic Astrology POV, the 9th house is one’s biological father & the 10th house can represent one’s “figurative” father.
