First House
The First House, “House of Self”, is the 1st house of the chart, the natural house of Aries, ruled by Mars. It governs self, identity and appearance.
The cusp of the first house is the Ascendant. In whole-sign houses the first house is the whole rising sign; in quadrant systems it is the 30 degrees from the Ascendant. The two give different answers and the difference is not a defect.
