1st house in Leo

A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to James as “you”.

What are astrological houses
Astrological houses divide the personal horoscope into twelve parts – twelve areas of your life. The houses in personal horoscope are based on the position of the Ascendant, which is the most eastern point at the moment of your birth. The Ascendant also represents the axis of the first house and is one of the most important points in personal horoscope of every individual.

The first house starts in the sign where your Ascendant is, all the next houses then follow in other signs (each house has approximately 30 degrees). Each personal horoscope has all 12 houses, but not all houses are occupied – there are 12 houses, but only 10 planets, therefore even more houses can be completely empty.

Planets in houses
The planets in the houses are actually more important than the houses in signs. If a planet appears in a house, it means that the area that this house represents is important for you. The more planets you have in one house, the more this house is important for you.

First house or Ascendant (ASC)
House of Aries, ruled by Mars


The first house represents your looks, your personality, your presence, beginnings of your achievements, your individuality and way of expression – the way you dress, talk, walk, etc. It indicates the way you let or want others to see and perceive you. It also indicates your birth, it represents your body, health, in what way you start acting and tackle challenges, what your basic outlook and approach to life is.

1st house in Leo

You are an honest, resourceful, capable and direct person, who handles every situation well and you have great organizational skills.

You are generous and popular, both with children and with adults and animals. People around you are never bored and you are also a good host.

Looks mean a lot to you – firm and tanned body, gold jewelry, sophisticated brands of clothes, unique perfumes, the newest car models...; you simply love money, luxury and abundance.

Directness, abundance of energy, in the middle of the happening

You are attracted to speculations and all kinds of gambling. You try to live a luxurious life, sometimes beyond your limits and these yearnings often blur your clear view of the world.

You have an idealistic nature, but you stand firmly on the ground and always take as much as belongs to you.

You are a direct person, sometimes even inconsiderate, of cheerful spirit and of very loud laughter and usually –you have a more massive figure. You are extremely proud and egocentric and often, when blinded by your own egoism, you walk over the less aggressive people around you and always try to be in the forefront. You enjoy applause you get and know very well how to provide for your material satisfactions.

You are basically happy and sociable, you have a positive attitude towards life and pleasant warmth that you spread around you and are a real magnet to other people.

Saturn in 1st house

You are a serious, reserved, reliable and responsible person. You are methodical, organized, systematic and orderly. You often have a reserved nature and this is often connected to earliest childhood. It is also possible that you were born in great pain (yours and/or your mother's) or hade some sort of (medical or similar) problems at birth or later in the most sensitive months (and/or years) of life. In your youth, you often appear and look older or more mature than you actually are; with years you somewhat soften your restraints and even gain charm and personal attraction.

Pluto in 1st house

You radiate a lot of life strength and magnetism; but people experience your charisma in their individual ways, that is why many people don't understand you and others are often jealous of you, etc. You are impetuous and intensive, but also very thorough, persistent and reliable. It is possible you experienced health problems in your childhood or very soon after birth, or your mother had a hard birth. You often suffer from allergies and inflammations, high fever and injuries. But after this difficult period, you become stronger; all in all you have an exceptional ability of renewal (especially if other factors in your horoscope indicate this as well).
