First house – The Ascendant
This represents the birth and everything associated with birth. The study of the first house can reveal everything about the person – the physical and psychological make up, challenges and blessings. The Ascendant is the sign that was rising up above the sky the moment the person was born. The hight point in the sky at that time. And it sets up the rest of the chart. It is the first impression the person gives out in to the world, and the first impression other people meeting us.
