The 1st House, also known as the Ascendant or Rising Sign, represents the self, identity, and physical appearance. It signifies how you present yourself to the world and your initial reactions to new situations. The sign on the cusp of the 1st House provides deeper insights into your character and approach to life."

There is an intensity to you that comes across as mysterious and enticing. Although you like to work independently, you are good at persuading others to work for you. Life is an ongoing process of transformation with this placement. With a natural tendency towards secrecy, you may feel more comfortable not giving too much of yourself away, at least until you are sure that you trust someone.

A strong sense of personal power and deep creative resources allow you meet life with persistence and determination, and you may be strongly motivated by your feelings and emotions. Naturally tuned in to cycles of ending and beginning, you may periodically reinvent yourself or change the way you present yourself to the world.
