planets in 1st house will be self-oriented....especially planets like Sun,Moon,Mars

Moon in 1st house is a very sensitive,emotional placement but it can be self oriented when it comes to nurturing. If it was in the 7th house, then it would be other oriented when it comes to nurturing. It can be a very sensitive,emotional placement.

vain seems more like a Venus in 1st or even Sun in 1st house.

of course, there are other factors

My moon is in Capricorn, which tends to be very distant and cold, so having my moon in the first house softens my Capricorn moon. I have a very thick skin, so I am not nearly as sensitive as other first house mooners.

I can sense the moods of others and sometimes I even know exactly what they're thinking. I always have the urge to take care of others.

i have a friend with this placement, guy with leo moon in 1st house - extremely self - absorbed and easily interprets others' points of view as something against him.

i DO tend to spend a lot of time mothering! not so much my peers, but my family for sure. i find i identify a lot with pisces stuff and need to isolate regularly but not to the exclusion of anything important.

any ways..self-oriented is not the same as being selfish and self centered. it could be about being aware of one's self as well as being self-sufficient and independent.

I also agree the sign of the planet in the first also matters.

I read about moon in 1st in regards to close relationship with mother. That's not true for my Aunt Dominga. She has Moon in Sagittarius in 1st conjunct Scorpio Ascendant,and she doesn't have a close relationship with her mother. Uranus squares the Moon-Ascendant conjunction too.

so definitely aspects are factored too.

so his vanity would come from leo I would think, but truly he is not vain at all. And with sun in leo conj moon you would think he would be. No, not at all. Very authoritative, yes.
Sensitive, yes, but not overly. The most pronounced is his sense of self protection and protectiveness of those around him. A sense of responsiblity to ensure the safety of others.

Since my Sun is in Cancer and Moon is ruler of Cancer, my 1st-house-Moon seems to have the double-force at first glance. Also, my Moon and Sun are at the exact same degree, at 23° (Sag & Cancer) - but that makes for an exact quincunx between these two. So: Whenever Moon is satisfied, Sun feels neglected and vice versa. (Maybe this is some kind of mirror to my parent's marriage, not sure about that.)

Anyway: 1st-house-Sag-Moon speaking here: Yes, I take things personal easily - but this has improved over the years - and with increasing maturity I derived substantial strength from that placement. Today it is more like: invlove myself wholeheartedly, but only into matters that count (in my opinion). I strive to be authentic, am a "real" person (I think, well: hope!), bored with manipulation and make-belief, think that this is a waste of time. I am real - and am interested in real things only. Totally bored with superficial, glamourous things. Sagittarian traits: foot-in-mouth-disease, honest and sometimes blunt to a fault, generous, humourous, adventurous, tolerant - but demand some "speed", wittyness from other people too. Crave challenge, immerse myself into any (friendly and mental) "competition". A strong sense of justice - and sometimes I tend to deal with emotions (other people's or my own) in a very abstract/intellectual way. Don't like weepiness, clingyness at all, can't deal with it. "There's always a way..." Impatient, a tad righteous now and then, incurable optimist, perceive the best in other people - until I learn better...;-) In a way, my personal evolvement is my favourite pasttime, I always like to "learn" something - and can apply quite a detached perspective on myself. Slightly "egocentric" indeed ;-) But more on the intellectual/spiritual side. Not in the sense of worldly "vanity" ... ;-) CRAVE indepence. Feel "safe" when I'm free and NOT too closely linked with someone else, cannot stand too jeaolous or needy partners! Need SPACE, in any sense. Room to move, and be it only mentally. Want to be respected for my "uniqueness & genuineness" - and try to support people by sheding a light on THEIR uniqueness too - try to spur them on to be the best they can be - always. (Tend to be "disappointed" now and then, if other people don't WANT to be inspired, haha.)

***edit: PROS for my love life: I'm the "good sports"-type, and all of my partners always loved my self-sustaining tendencies, I can forgive mistakes - if I can UNDERSTAND what has happened, am tolerant, adaptable AND fond of the ideas of "solidarity" and "truthfulness" - 1st-house-Moon: You ALWAYS know where I stand, what I feel and think - I will NEVER lie to you.

CONS in love life: I refuse to treat you with kid gloves - and some folks think I can be a bit too direct or even rude (though never "mean"!). Some men are unfcomfortbale with my "independent" streak (especially my last boyfriend). I am most loving when NOT controlled or caged in - you can count on me always - but I am not "there" physically always, need some adventures on my own ... NOT amourous adevntures, but travelling alone or sth like that. Some folks misread this as me being "unreliable", "cold" or sth ... And if I tell them: "Go on! Do your OWN thing for a while - and let's share what we both have experienced afterwards ..." - they get the feeling thy I want to "get rid" of them for a while .. Many misunderstandings with "conservative" type of guys. Some of them see themselve "run over" by my ... well ... lust for life! ;-) And it is ALWAYS me who quits the relationship ... Hm.
