FIRST
HOUSE MARS
The
House of Self - The field of action and personal initiative.
Outlook on life
— the lens through which the rest of the chart is focused.
The
personality. Character type. Physique. Early childhood.
Destiny in the making.
Mars in
its own natural house is inclined to act before thinking. This position
denotes a forceful individual who throws themselves into projects without
counting the cost.
They have an urge to prove their mettle through assertive
gestures and strenuous physical activity, and jealously guard their personal
independence.
This
placement may spur ambition or it may stimulate rashness and impetuosity,
according to the rest of the horoscope. It sharpens the will to overcome
handicaps and to set the course of one's destiny regardless of what others may
say or do.
Often it is necessary to work very hard early in life, but the
habit turns out to be lasting and useful.
