♈︎
Ruled by Aries
The first house is also called the Ascendant, or Rising Sign. It depicts the sign that was over the horizon at the place and time of your birth. This sign directs your self-image, personality and how others perceive you. It also governs your behavior, temperament, appearance, ego and your outlook toward the world. This sign has an effect on any health issues you may have throughout your life. Note that some people may have the same ascendant sign as their sun sign. This makes them, for example, a double Pisces.
