Overview of the First House
What does the 1st house mean in astrology? Also called the Ascendant or Rising Sign, the first house is the most personal point in your birth chart. It shapes your outward personality, physical appearance, and how you instinctively meet the world. The sign on this cusp colours how others see you and how you start things. Think of it as the filter every other chart factor passes through.
