Hello people, does anyone one else have Mars in the 1st house? I do and my experience with it is pretty awkward and crappy to say the least. When people meet me their first impression of me is that I am pushy or bossy or something like that. Which is not true at all, actually very shy, kind and curious. It has to be my Mars in 1st that makes me seem this way, and sure it's great to be able to walk down the street in a bad neighborhood and be left alone, but still. I am a woman I should have 'feminine' aspects, aghhh. Everyone has different experiences with placements, if anyone else has this placement how does it effect you? I am tired of wearing the pants in relationships and with other things. I am tired of having to seduce(yes I seduced my Scorpio boyfriend that why I have him now)!

I have mars in the first! It doesn't appear that it has the same effects on me that it does on you though, at least as far as people viewing me as bossy or pushy. I guess it makes me shy and curious however, until I know someone, than I am rather talkative. I have never been entirely sure what mars in the first truly means. I will look it up.

The Mars first house placement intensifies the assertiveness of the personality type described by your Ascendant. With any Ascendant, Mars in the first house increases the vitality, and produces a somewhat more assertive, more outgoing, and more energetic individual.

Your appearance is likely to be robust and muscular and you may be stronger that other members of your family of the same sex. You are always one to be directly involved in affairs; never an idle bystander. This element produces drive and creates more ambition and the aptitude for hard work, with a competitive drive for recognition and acclaim.

This position is usually considered, by traditionalists, to be more desirable for men than for women, because it displays the assertive characteristics associated with males. Females with this placement often have the self-confidence and competitive traits to enter and succeed in male dominated professions.

(my asc is capricorn)

**************************************

With Mars in the First House you are likely to exert your energy and initiative into personal affairs and self-expression by developing a capacity for action and personal leadership. Self-confidence and courage are gained by active participation in rugged, physical and competitive sport or other similar activity. This position of Mars tremendously increases will-power and you are likely to be motivated by the need to win and to be first in your particular field. You have the capacity to achieve much and generate enthusiasm in others, though you must be careful not to burn yourself out through over-activity. You are, in a general sense, actively searching for a strong social self-image.
http://www.astrologyweekly.com/learn-astrology/mars-in-1st-house.php

*****************************************

Mars in the first house is dignified, giving the personality energy, assertiveness, courage, force, and passion. One is usually independent, outspoken, straightforward, dynamic, masculine, combative, audacious, and may be headstrong, impatient, reckless, and rash.

My friend has her Mars in Scorp conj her Scorp Asc (but Mars comes from the 12th). She also can't understand why she gets received the 'wrong' way. She's a really sunny Leo at heart, but when she's serious, she kind of ... glowers. She's very tall, fierce, and looks a lot older than most ppl her age. Still, ppl who are initially intimidated (and there are a lot...) tend to soften up when they discover her sunny personality. I think that's always something to look forward to.

I have Mars Conjunct Ascendant (at 2°46!) so I think that would only make my 1st house influences even heavier. maybe even my temper (1st house mars can have one sometimes).

what is your asc and is it close (within a few degrees) to your mars? out of curiousity.

I also have Mars conjunction the ascendant 5*28 orb, but in the sign of Cancer(Cancer Ascendant), as well as squaring my Pluto in Libra. Then my Pluto square Ascendant at 0*11 doesn't help much ether.

My ex-bf has this placement in his chart,
Mars in Sagittarius, in 1st house.
When i got nervous, i was usually
telling him to become distant from me.
That way, i could calm down,
when i was on my own.
But he never listened me.
He was too impatient to wait,
for my anger to be over.
He was a pushy personality.
and because of this,
i become cold towards him.

I feel your pain, I really do. I have this placement, and I tend to come off aggressive - well, I am but…it’s not all of me. I have other parts. I often feel others can’t do things right, so they get knocked out the way so I can fix things. I think it also gives me a sense of responsibility - like others are helpless and can’t do things, so I have to take charge…which is a pain and a hindrance.

I was responsible for many adults as a child, so it’s programmed in me. Perhaps the lesson is to let others make their mistakes, without feeling guilty. Even if it could really harm them. To sit there and do nothing…ugh how very un-mars.

(**raises arm and waves hand wildly**) Me! Me! Mars in the 1st!! (**charges over and pumps your hand and nearly takes your arm off at the shoulder**)

With Mars in its Fall, although dignified in the 1st house, how do you feel your Mars in Cancer plays out, lc7?? I’ve Leo Rising, with Mars in Virgo…..
I have 3 other dignified planets besides Mars at home in I: Venus in II, Mercury in III and Uranus in XI.

Actually, I feel the same as you, lc7. Despite the Martian energy donating 10,000 volts to my being and self-expression, I am more apt to hang back and observe situations before diving in – UNLESS I’m very comfortable, as in a gathering of friends or coworkers. Basically I AM a shy person. People have really told you that you’re pushy and bossy – or is that a perception only?? No one’s ever told me point-blank that I’m pushy or bossy (though it may be true at times) but I can thank our lucky Libra stars for that, possibly…..

Mars in the 1st is INDEPENDENCE to me. Even when I was very small, I used to drive my mother crazy by running off. In the department stores downtown, I would be off up the escalators to the 8th floor before she could turn around. When we went to the beach, I was off and running for the water. I had NO respect for my little brother, who stood there wailing on the sand, with a death grip on Mom’s knee!! Mars also manifests for me in enthusiastically blurting something out, only to hear myself, cringe and think “wow, what a stupid thing to say.”

You mentioned wanting to seem more feminine – well your Moon, Asc, Mars and Jupiter are in a feminine sign – Cancer. The fact that Cancer is also Cardinal probably tips the scales a bit in the other direction. I have 5 Cardinal planets, and 6 planets in “masculine” signs. Mars in Virgo gives me a lot of energy for nitpicky detailed tasks – but with it located in I (Cardinal house) I often wish I had the power of Follow-Through rather than Idea/Initiation. Getting started on things is easy – carrying them through to completion is another matter. I have zillions of half-finished projects scattered around my house…..

Here’s Howard Sasportas on Mars in I:

quote:
According to the myth, Ares (Mars) sprang forth fully grown from the body of the outraged Hera. Similarly, those with Mars here may find that their anger, fury or actions ‘leap out’ before anything can be done to stop them. At worse, they can be impatient and furious with the slightest obstacle blocking their way and exhibit a constant need to prove their power. Rather than turning their own bodies into a battlefield or taking out their aggression on whoever comes along, they will benefit from some sort of regular physical exercise or competitive sport. The disciplines of tai-chi, yoga, karate or the various body-therapies (which allow, and work creatively with, the cathartic discharge of anger and tension) are also recommended.

At best, those with Mars in the 1st are authentic, spontaneous and refreshing. Without appearing too blunt or rude, they can be honest and self-directing, possessing the courage to respect their own priorities rather than playing a role for somebody else. They are meant to meet life “head on”. Rather than waiting for something to happen, people with this placement should take the first step.

Mars in the 1st is most noticeable in a fire sign but even if placed in watery Cancer or Pisces, they will still evince a strong presence whether they speak up or not. If those with Mars in this house appear shy and withdrawn, then other aspects in the chart are impinging on its expression and these should be examined. In some cases, they may need to be reminded that it is permissable to ask for what they want in life, rather than covertly manipulating others into giving it to them.

The urge to be the masters of their own destiny is usually strong and they will grapple against all odds to satisfy their desires. The Duke of Windsor, who abdicated the crown to marry the woman of his choice, was born with Mars in Aries in the 1st. Ernest Hemingway, obsessed with proving to the world that he was the epitome of a ‘real man’ had Mars in Virgo in the 1st. Another good example of this placement is the French existentialist writer Jean-Paul Sartre, born with Mars in Scorpio in the 1st. He based his whole approach to the world (1st) on the premise that we are entirely responsible for our own lives – not only for our actions but also for our failures to act. For him, the individual alone was the creator and nothing in the world had significance except in terms of how one constituted it.

Mars in the 1st often calls for a fair degree of stamina, strength, fight and independence even very early in life.


Hey WN, didn't we start a Mars in the 1st Club awhile ago?? I'll see if I can find it.....

Lovely, Mars in the 1st is all heart and sincerity, I attract friends with this placement and they demand sincerity and honesty in emotions first. Loyalty is everything. Very tough to maintain, requires mastering your own fate, creating your own reality.

I do have the Mars opposite Mercury and Sun which makes my health not so good and I have difficulty communicating. That's why when I do communicate I try to be as honest as I can to save time.

Remember when you smile others smile with you and when you frown, everyone frowns.

That's how I see it,
Mars in Sag/1st trine Venus
opposite Sun and Mercury.

I have mars in 1st house in libra... together with pluto in the first house too.

I think I only appear to be pushy and demanding with close friends and family ... at first impression, I'm always seemingly nice, pleasant, shy and ok, mildly assertive...

Yes sometimes I appear to be pushy and demanding ,especially if I'm in stress or just don't except to meet anybody. But normally I always make very nice impressions. pleasant,joyful,etc.,very positive feelings.

i know its been a while....
but mars in first house scorpio here!

men are intimidated by me and i find it highly amusing. I can say how i authentically feel to a person, even if its typically not something "nice" and can get away with it with just a smile.

I find it to be a great placement, especially for a female!

scorpio sun, aquarius moon, libra rising

Hello Libraschoice7,
I feel you!! First time I see someone on the forum that has these placements as I do too.
Having sun in libra, (lots of scorpio), ascendant in cancer and mars in cancer in the first house, I understand,
I feel too that especially at night if you're alone, I just have a loner/cold/reserved feel that people dont approach me and honestly I like it better that way, if I feel like I wanna approach people or I'm in a mood to socialize, I'll give off a super chill/ friendly vibe and I'll be good, if not, I'll make sure the people around me don't get too close.
So yeah, you can give off ''loner'' vibe, but when you let people in, they see the friendly, kindhearted nature, lovely qualities you possess. Also, first impressions, I think I am excellent at.
I feel you for ''having to seduce first''. My ex lover wasn't even interested in me when we first met. I was simply hooked the first time I laid my eyes on him and I knew I had to get him haha.
But do not worry, usually people are intimidated to approach or are not even worth it in the first place!

if you have any other questions, I'd be pleased to answer!

Hey, one of my best friends has Mars in Leo in the 1st, Libra Sun, and Cancer rising! Plus Scorpio Moon conj. Pluto, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter and NN.

I too have Mars in 1st (0 Virgo), square Pluto/Jupiter, trine Moon in Aries, opposite Saturn in Pisces, square Lilith and I definitely relate to coming off as bossy, even mean. Also the loner stuff 100%. I often feel like people can't handle me, not that this is a good thing but it's just how I am, very over the top. My boyfriend has Mars in 1st in Capricorn and Cap ASC, Mars out of bounds, and he's equally crazy so we fit.
Also agree that many times the people too intimidated aren't worth it, not because they're bad people but because I would definitely end up either scaring them off or p*ssing them off at some point anyway. Lmao
