One's natal chart (the map in the sky of when a person is born) is divided into 12 Houses. These Houses cumulatively cover the entire life of the individual. There are three kinds of Houses. Angular Houses are the First, Fourth, Seventh, and Tenth. These are the "action" Houses. With a lot of Planets in these Houses, it tends to promote a prominent position in life. House 1 is personal character, House 4 is later life, House 7 is marriage, and House 10 is public recognition. Succedent Houses are the Second, Fifth, Eight, and Eleventh. Planets in these Houses give stability, willpower, and a sense of purpose (but not a lot of activity). If lots of Planets are in these Houses, it can make someone stubborn and uncompromising (not necessarily a bad thing with other factors considered). Cadent Houses are the Third, Sixth, Ninth, and Twelfth. These Houses have very little activity; they are more centered on thought, communication, the subconscious, and the ability to get along with others (or not). And lots of Planets in these Houses indicate little public recognition, but that doesn't mean they will not be successful--just that they are behind-the-scenes and prefer to allow others to have the credit. They tend to have subdued the Ego, and thus, they may be the most successful of all (in what matters in life).
The Houses are divided into four Functions (Fire, Water, Earth, and Air). The Houses of Life are the First, Fifth, and Ninth. These are the Houses of energy, motivation, and enthusiasm. House 1 is self, House 5 is children, and House 9 is philosophy. These Houses are ruled by Fire. The Houses of Endings are the Fourth, Eighth, and Twelfth. House 4 concerns the end of matters, House 8 governs death (not to predict physical death) and regeneration, and House 12 is the subconscious and Karma. These Houses are ruled by Water. The Houses of Substances are the Second, Sixth, and Tenth. House 2 governs money and mobile possessions, House 6 concerns work/occupation, and House 10 is profession, public acclaim, awards, and honors. These Houses are ruled by Earth. The Houses of Relationships are the Third, Seventh, and Eleventh. These govern relationships in the community. House 3 is with relatives and neighbors, House 7 concerns partners in marriage and business, and House 11 is about friends and organizations. These Houses are ruled by Air. Now that we have the the foundation, let's move on to the First House.
I would argue that the First House is the most important. Why? Because you can't have a play without a stage. This is where the you-of-you begins in your chart. This House describes the outer personality, physical appearance, and physical health (to an extent). It also covers personal affairs, attitude, outlook on life, how others see you via the impression you make, your private life, and your concept of self-awareness. Think of these keywords when you look to see what Planets are housed in the First House. For example, I have Uranus and Pluto in my First House. This makes for a very interesting mix. Those are two very distinctive Planets that influence my physical appearance and how others view me.

I never got a feel for how planets played out in the 1st house, Randall. Does one "feel" the planets as much as others see them? I only have Saturn conj the ASC. I can feel it AS I go out in to the world, mainly. It is like Saturn is ON my path outward. It does not feel close to me as the moon or Sun does, if you know what I mean.------------------

Randall, this would be the better way to phrase my question. I was thinking of Eros conjunct the ASC. That person has a natural sexiness they bring in to the world. However, is it something they WEAR more than own, if you know what I mean? IOW, is it not as close a part of themselves, such as in "a little removed" from themselves, unlike something conjunct the Sun or moon, for example?I am asking "If planets are in the first house do we WEAR them, more than OWN them? If you don't understand what I am saying, just forget the whole thing

With me, it translates into appearance firstly (physical and other things that I choose--like clothing and hair). Then to attitude and personality. Uranus weaves its influence into everything that is my First House. ------------------

Private life is things you keep outside of the public eye--your solitude--like I may not want anyone to know that I enjoy stamp collecting. It may give me pleasure to find and save stamps from across the world, but I may choose not to share that with others. Self-awareness is my self-concept of how I view myself, irrespective of what others think of me...and being cognizant of that--of who I am. ------------------

Houses: angular houses 1/7 4/10 the energies of planets placed here are obvious cos it's your 'shop window' visible for everyone to see. Next the succeedent houses 2/8 & 5/11 the energies in these houses are not in shop window the are in the shop, but stood behind the counter, ready to come out when needed. Lastly, cadent houses 6/12 & 3/9 these houses/planets are not in shop window or stood behind the counter, they are in the back storeroom and only come out when 'triggered' or an emergency and much harder to recognise and access...The houses are like the backdrop of a stage, the setting if you like, the planets are like actors and the aspects are how the planets behave in that settings/stage.... house meanings http://www.horoscopeswithin.com/houses.php http://www.astrologyzine.com/what-is-a-house-in-astrology.shtml http://www.dkfoundation.co.uk/dkfoundation/BookKarma&NewDirections.htm http://www.gotohoroscope.com/houses-in-chart.html http://www.skyscript.co.uk/temples/h1.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_(astrology) http://www.astro.com/astrology/in_house2_e.htm http://www.skyviewzone.com/astrology/houses.htm

Basic astrology
Now basically your sun sign is your 'core beliefs, values, ego' and Asc is your physical body, mode of expression and mask and persona that we all wear and hide behind, but definitely not what's going on underneath. What's going on underneath is your Sun sign. Moon sign, house placements and aspects describe your emotional and intuitive responses, also describes your view of your mother, as saturn describes your father by sign and house position.
So, think of a glass milk bottle the bottle is your Asc and your sun the milk, but the milk still has to 'come out' through the glass neck of the milk bottle....Now aspects within a natal chart represent 'facets' of our personality, because we are all multifaceted beings. What these do is 'break down and compartmentalise' these facets into smaller bite size chunks. This does take quite a lot of self analysis and objectivity to 'see yourself' and why you do certain things and behave in certain ways. Actually it can be quite good therapy... Remember back to your school days an opposition is 180', square 90', trine 120', and sextile 60' Now challenged aspects are conj (depending on the planets, cos some like each other and some really don't) squares and oppositions. Easy aspects are conj (if the planets get along) eg: Jupiter conj Moon, sextile and trine. Quincunx is inbetween (depending on the planets) causes health strains and unresolved or hard to balance planets/energies.

Houses/signs are like the backdrop of a stage/theatre, planets in houses behave like actors on a stage, the *aspects* show how these planets/actor behave in a house

i like your own interpretations. interesting you caught the tunnel vision. i thought it was my mercury in aries that gave me that. quote:
Pluto in 1st House – angular
Tends to be a loner and hold innermost self aloof from those around. Penetrating gaze. Person power and will is indicated. Much more below the surface than is shown above. Very private person – holds secret
Tunnel vision when concentrating will always finish things.
Usually deep penetrating eyes. Intensity comes over even when being silent
A marvelous sense of purpose is generally present, and must be expressed and fulfilled otherwise an inner seething and sense of dissatisfaction may be the result
If Pluto is afflicted and could cause deep rooted psychological problems that can emerge as physical ailments.
The nearer Pluto lies to the Ascending degree, the stronger its influence will be. The planet's influence will darken the personality, adding an incisive and deep, emotionally intense quality.

It isnt empty because you have a sign on the cusp there. Or in some cases, a whole sign intercepted there (if you don't use equal house system).Look to the energy of the sign in that house. Not having a planet there, does not mean there is nothing, or no astrological energy there.  IP: Logged |

I use Equal House system (where each cusp is same as Ascendant) and am a modern astrologer. Lots of newcomers come into Astrology/forums and get a free chart from astro and the default ‘house system’ used is Placidus and think that’s just the norm and all there is……..BUT that is just the tip of the iceberg. You can change the default on astro.com in Extended Chart selection to Equal house and a few others if you wish to experiment….. Within the mainstream are placidus/equal houses (the default on astro is placidus) only difference being some planets may move from one house to another thereby altering it's interpretation and it's 'only' with research will you find which /planets 'fit you' in which houses. So my advice, do two charts, research any planets that move houses and see which you identity with - simple Youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAwGtMWl4z4 so intercepted signs and houses ONLY happens with the default house system on astro.com of placidus ------------------

Everyone has empty houses, we then look to the Chart ruler, where is posited and how its' aspected.
Remember planets are modified by signs, where they are express are houses and how they express are *aspects*

Every house has a sign on the cusp and hence a House Ruler.That Ruler goes forth in the chart as the emissary of that house. For the length of your life, that House Ruler will represent what happens to you in the affairs of that house.
For example, your Chart Ruler(Ruler of the first house) will represent your physical body so if you are wanting to know info about your body, you can look at what transits(planets coming by in the sky) are hitting it. So each house will have a House Ruler and that planet will always give us info on what that house rules. The house may be empty or not. ------------------

So if your 1st house ruler is in another house, and has aspects with other planets - do these aspects to your 1st house ruler affect your first house ?Or is it affected only by the aspects of the planets in it (that can be any planet, of course) ?
