The first House is all about you! How you appear to the outside world, how others see you, the way you speak and the way in which you carry yourself. The 1^st house corresponds with the 1^st sign in the zodiac. Aries, a cardinal action oriented sign that tends to seek self fulfillment.

Everyone has a different sign on the 1^st house cusp, for instance I m a Cancer Sun but my 1^st house cusp otherwise known as my ascendant or rising sign is in Aquarius. People see me as friendly and sociable. Truth be told I’m not! A Cancer sun is clannish. However similar to Aquarian I lean toward being eccentric and possess a humanitarian side.

Planets in the 1^st house will affect you as an individual

Sun in the 1^st house makes you showy, optimistic and very assertive

Moon in the 1^st house indicates you have psychic sensory, picking up on what isn’t being said, and also just as the moon fluctuates you will experience highs and lows in self esteem

Mercury in the 1^st house has a very active mind, sometimes nervous energy and enjoys speaking of themselves and their interests

Venus in the 1^st house makes you appear attractive to others, an easy going if not lazy approach to life due to your expectation that events will go your way which they usually do

Mars in the 1^st house makes you very aggressive, not necessarily a bad thing, but not the most polite of placements. I use to date a man with Mars in the 1^st house; he was the most direct person I have ever met. On our first date he buzzed about (Gemini) he was in constant motion. I was overwhelmed he thought I was bored stating, “If you are going to look miserable all night I’ll take you home”. He was always shooting from the hip, telling some woman at a club we frequented his shoes cost more than her entire outfit”. I cringed, but he had this quality that you couldn’t ignore and either you loved him or hated him for it. Mars in the 1^st house doesn’t inspire indifference.

Jupiter in the 1^st house gives good luck with your endeavors and the ability to self directs your life. Optimistic in thought

Saturn in the 1^st house indicates you are restricted, extremely conservative, you probably drive with hands at 10 and 2 and voted for Bush.

Uranus in the 1^st house you will experience MANY changes in terms of your identity, from dress to the manner in which you speak. You are probably unconventional and have a non conformist side

Neptune in the 1^st house indicates that others do not see you clearly and sometimes call fall prey to ill intentions or see you through rose colored classes. Projecting all they wish to see at other times you may feel you are not completely understood and are easily wounded.

Pluto in the 1^st house indicates major changes via you; this may be via your physical body or perhaps bringing yourself face to face with trying circumstances that bring about major transformation.
