Is it expected to dominate all other placements; since Mars is associated with Aries and the 1st House is the original "house" of Aries, ruled by Mars? Or would it depend on the entire context of the particular natal chart?

I have this placement, but I might as well have an Aries Mars because I'm very direct, straightforward, slightly aggressive, athletic, and quite "masculine" for a girl. Not to mention, health, fitness, bodybuilding and lifting weights is my LIFE. The gym is my second home away from home.

People who have this placement can vary widely in personality or how action oriented or assertive they are.

No, not in my view.

Yes, as always. For example, a person may have Mars in the 1st house, maybe even parallel the Asc (if not conjunct), but if Mars makes a soft or strong aspect to say Neptune, and there is say Cancer on the Asc, Mars won't necessarily have the strength it has in other charts. For example, if Mars is in the 1st, but makes stronger aspects and more of them to planets like Sun, Moon, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Pluto, and especially if a Fire or Air sign is over the Asc, then you're going to see a more obviously Martial personality.

This presents a couple types of scenarios for the person (as a soul). One is where the soul has a less developed, active and strong Mars energy built up in their history. The other is where the person needs to develop it more, thus chooses a birth chart with Mars emphasized to stimulate that.

That's a good example of the difference between Mars just being in the 1st house and it being (conjunct and) closely parallel the Asc (both near 23° declination)

I have Pluto and my Sun in the 1st house. Pluto is a higher octave of Mars, so both energies are similar but slightly more intense. But I can relate with your personality and hobbies. GYM is love.

You'll obviously project a strong Martian personality because Mars is comfortable in his ruling house, the first house, house of personality. Like wise with a sign's ruling planet. It goes hand and hand between cusps just the same. Mars is a representative of Aries, always carrying over Aries style of traits wherever the planet is located. Having the Moon in the 6th house will make it behave in similar ways as a Moon Virgo cusp because the the 6th is Virgo's ruling house.
