House 1 in your birth chart

Key points

House 1 data pertains to not-conscious thought-cell activity that works to attract events and conditions affecting your personality, physical body, appearance, personal affairs and health.

Its power score measures its influence as dominant, prominent, non-prominent or weak; and its harmony or discord denotes a fortunate or unfortunate event trend. 

Its potential is validated by real-life experience.

*********************

House 1 is the reference point for data pertaining to your personality, appearance, temperament, disposition, personal interests, physical wellbeing and health. It’s all about body-image and self-commitment and corresponds to compartment 1 of your astral body.

House 1 provides you with an astro-selfie of your physical body – the most important bit of physical property you temporarily own. Your genetic code is a chemical replica of your character and house 1 is all about your physical features and attributes – the stuff of genes. Your size, shape and build determine your physical capabilities.

Your personality is composed of behavior traits and qualities through which your character, intelligence and ability express in the outside world. As your appearance and observable behavior, it’s what other people notice. It’s all about first impressions and surface presentation.

Only you know if you like or dislike your body and how much importance you place on your body image and appearance. These matters are greatly influenced by the personality culture in which you live. Maybe you see tattoos and/or body piercings as a way of expressing your individuality; and plastic surgery as a way to improve physical imperfection and keep you looking young. 

In 1948, the World Health Organization defined health as ‘a state of complete physical, mental and social wellbeing and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity’ and house 1 data relates to your physical health and wellbeing. 

Unlocking your full potential requires a body that’s up to the job and house 1 puts the focus on self-care, eating well and physical exercise.

Minor and major events affecting your personality, appearance, personal interests, physical wellbeing and/or health are house 1 events. New states of consciousness formed in response to these events assimilate in compartment 1 of your astral body.

You should keep a diary of your health-life experience and note when there are changes in your general level of wellbeing and the dates when sickness or disease occurs.

House 1 has an astrodyne power score

A planet in house 1 makes its department of life active but its relative strength and influence is measured by its astrodyne power score. If it’s dominant or prominent your personality, physical body, personal affairs and health will play a central role in your story. There’s a high level of thought-cell activity influencing what you think and do and working to attract minor and major events affecting these life-matters.

If non-prominent a reduced level of thought-cell activity scales down its influence; and if house 1 is weak its influence is subdued which may require your attention.

House 1 has a harmony or discord score

The functional status of house 1 – and the common thought-cell activity that’s working to influence your thinking and behavior and attract events affecting your personality, body, personal interests and health – is measured by its harmony or discord score. 

A harmony score indicates your house 1 thought-cell activity is harmonious and predisposed to work to attract fortunate events. It inclines towards a pleasing personality, effective one-on-one personal conduct, self-acceptance, appearance satisfaction and good health. But there may be discord amid the harmony so the harmony is not absolute.

A discord score indicates that your house 1 thought-cell activity is discordant and predisposed to work to attract unfortunate events. It inclines towards personality disorders, appearance dissatisfaction, self-induced stress and health problems. But there may be harmony amid the discord so the discord is not absolute.

Dysfunctional-misguided thought-cell activity requires your attention. It’s going to mess up your thinking and adversely affect the quality of your life and what you hope to achieve.

As a child and young adult your house 1 thought-cells were conditioned by environment and they expressed thoughts and behavior which developed into a habit system. ((Negative planets [Moon, Venus, Saturn, Neptune and/or Pluto] in house 1 can indicate a tendency to develop a negative thought-cell habit that yields to the demands of other people.)

House 1 events involve changes to your personality, disposition, personal affairs, health and physical wellbeing; and through pleasant and painful house 1 experiences you live and learn and develop new states of consciousness which become the basis of your behavior and events affecting these life-matters in the future.

Your analysis of house 1 allows you to be more informed about yourself.

It’s aimed at collecting information that pertains to your personality, personal affairs, health and wellbeing and if necessary to take measures to correct or modify what’s indicated.

Real-life events and conditions validate its potential.
