The 4th house, home, mother, property and inner peace, is always Capricorn when Libra rises; it is an angle (kendra). Capricorn adds discipline, ambition and long-range patience. The house's natural significator is the Moon, worth checking alongside. Because Saturn governs the 5th as well, the 4th and 5th are linked in this chart.

Venus in the 4th gives directional strength: a beautiful home, vehicles, comfort and an emotionally warm family life. By sign, Venus is in a friend's sign, ruled by Saturn. It cooperates well with the sign lord. Venus stays within about 47° of the Sun, so the Sun is in the 4th or within two signs of it; a Venus very close to the Sun is combust and gives its results more quietly.
