First House

The first house is the house of self — your physical body, appearance, temperament, and the overall direction of your life. It sets the stage for the entire chart. The Lagna (ascendant) is the mask you wear in the world. Its lord tells the story of how you initiate, how you appear to others, and the vitality of your body.
