Th're seemeth to bee an unspoken belief in astrology that subtly hints to the idea that thee houses showeth a certain parteth of life. Or couldst we det'rmine the subject matter inquired upon by simply using the planets and their num'rous states and conditions? h're we can examineth the sooth of this practiceth

To clarify the subject, if we inquire about the native's father, then do we use the Sun and the Sun alone, and could we use it alone?
Or could and should we dare look into the 4th house?

The use of houses is very sound. I think to look at the Father we look at the native's Sun and Saturn. And we look to the 4th and 10th axis, as the parents and the family, upbringing and reputation.

Looking at houses and their thematic rulerships is really standard, going back to Hellenistic astrology. A good book on how traditional astrologers interpret/ed houses is Deborah Houlding, Houses: Temples of the Sky. (She is the owner of Skyscript, a major traditional astrology web site.)

One traditional view of parents is that the sun rules the father in a day birth, but Saturn rules the father in a night birth. The moon rules the mother in a night birth, but Venus rules the mother in a day birth. Then traditionally the 4th house rules the father; and the 10th rules the mother (as the wife--7th house from the 4th) of one's father.)

The connection with the 4th house and "home" here is that historically one's patrimony was determined through the male line.
