1st house in Virgo

A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Jeff 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 Virgo

You express best through your work; through something that has material and physical sense. That is why you are always tidying up, are involved in several businesses at once, solve crossword puzzles, sew – in short, your mind and mostly your hands need to be constantly busy with creating something constructive, more perfect, better.

You are never truly satisfied with the work you've done and it always seems to you that you just can't reach the right validation and profit.

Orderly, disciplined, critical

You are a carefully orderly and organized person and this reflects also in your outer appearance, in your work place and, of course, in your home. You are methodical and often hairsplitting and in your thoughts, you often dwell on completely unimportant problems, you blow them out of proportion and so create enormous obstacles on your path to success. On the other hand, you are able to create something new out of the old, something even better and more perfect.

You take care of your personal hygiene. You enjoy healthy food and altogether take good care of your body – if only this wouldn’t, as a rule, turn into a hypochondriac observation of your own body.

You are always observing your environment, although you are very reserved by nature. You analyze others and are critical at the same time, but you also do the same before and when you go to action. You have a youthful and a very photogenic look. You have the ability to notice other people's weaknesses and use them to your advantage.

Mars in 1st house

You are an impetuous, temperamental and fiery person who is mostly of good health and firm body constitution, but you can be prone to injuries, hits, fever, etc. Such position often indicates difficult birth or difficulties (health and other) in earliest childhood. You are ambitious, combatative and often intolerant, because of your intolerance you are sometimes unable to make compromises, but you are still very appreciated among other people, because of your life energy and dynamic personality. You are often involved in sports.

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.
