Houses
1st House (Self)
Your identity, appearance, and how you approach new beginnings.
The 1st House, ruled by your Rising sign, represents your physical body, personality, and the first impression you make. It's the "I am" house - your identity, appearance, and how you initiate action. Planets here strongly color your personality and how others perceive you immediately.
Example
Mars in the 1st house gives a bold, assertive presence; Venus here creates natural charm and physical attractiveness.
