The 1st House
The 1st House describes you, your self-expression and vitality. It is your physical
appearance and the way others see you and interact with you. The 1st House cusp is, in most cases,
the Ascendant or Rising Sign of your chart and indicates your primary motivation in life. The house
placement of your 1st House ruler, or almuten, shows the areas of life that are of primary importance
to you. Also, planets in your 1st House influence how you present yourself to the world.
Ascendant in Aquarius
Your primary motivation in life is to have freedom of action and movement. You have a modern,
contemporary and progressive outlook on life, with an enthusiasm for the new, the unusual and the
innovative. You have an individual and original personality yet, at times, can be unconventional,
eccentric or unpredictable. Others are attracted to you because you are friendly and interested in
people. You are accustomed to a lot of change and variety in your day-to-day life.
Aquarius energy brings in strong women and so you are comfortable with feminine power and men showing
their sensitive sides. There was also a mythic quality to your childhood, symbolized by the “larger than
life” stories you heard about your father. This touched your own spirit and gave you the belief that the
anything was possible.
There is a universal heart connected to Aquarius energy. It’s never good enough to just find safety and
justice for oneself, there is a strong desire to give those rights and sense of freedom to others.
The outcome of this house is determined by the placement of its ruler.
1st House Cusp Ruler, Saturn, in 12th House
You are as comfortable behind the scenes with this aspect as you are in the spotlight (the Sun in Leo).
In fact, your ability to both step aside or take centre stage is a an enormous advantage in anything you
do. You are a force to be reckoned with in a subtle way; because you keep your own counsel and others
never know exactly what you're capable of. This doesn't mean you are threatening, just private and
self-contained. You enjoy your own company and seclusion – in fact you need it. Without time alone you
will feel overwhelmed by the energies of others.

you to create what you believe in. You are able to be with both the wealthy and the less fortunate. You
are comfortable with both. You need to take care with investments and to be especially careful with whom
