1st House (Ascendant) - The individual personality
Naural Sign - Aries - the sign of new beginnings.
Our projected behaviour, temperament, health, how we react to those around us and our appearance.
Together with the Sun and Moon the ascendant is one of the most important factors in a horoscope. The sign at the beginning of the first house tells us a lot about someone's personality, disposition and constitution. It characterises our intuitive reaction and shows how we present ourselves to the world.

Our material side. This house tells us about the material circumstances, the acquisitive urge and how we deal with possessions and material means.
