Our purpose in this paper is to study Möbius geometry for those hypersurfaces in S 4 which have different principal curvatures at each point. We will give a complete local Möbius invariant system for such hypersurface in S 4 which determines the hypersurface up to Möbius transformations. And we will classify the so-called Möbius homogeneous hypersurfaces in S 4.
