The First House
The Self · Rising sign · Beginnings
The first house is the doorway: the face you wear before you say a word.
What it means
The first house describes identity, appearance, vitality, and how you begin things. It is the ascendant, the mask and the body, and the impression you make simply by existing. It governs first impressions and personal initiative.
