What Is The First House?
(Associated with Mars and Aries)
House is a term used by astrologers to define another set of twelve sectors of the sky which are similar to the twelve Signs, but may differ in size and in where the House Cusps start and end (the First House always starts at the Ascendant). Think of two old wagon wheels with twelve spokes each, attached to the same axle. The spaces between overlapping spokes are like the Signs and Houses and the spokes are like their cusps. In the sky, the Sun and Moon and Planets are each traveling through both a Sign and a House at any given time.
The Meaning of Houses
The Houses have meanings which correspond in some ways to the meanings of the Signs, but are more like "where", while Signs are like "how".

FIRST HOUSE: This is the House of
PERSONAL APPEARANCES...
how you want to appear outwardly, both physical appearance and personal style (which may or may not be consistent with your inner self);
your "image" which you want to maintain;
your "look", moves, gestures, body language, habitual movements;
how you do appear to others on a superficial level or first-impression level;
the "image" you project to others who know you personally (the Tenth House indicates how you are "known" impersonally to the world at large by your "public image" or reputation);
how you habitually project yourself into your immediate environment (your own little world), with or without awareness of it;
the "mask" your inner soul wears to show itself in the outer world.
