Life's Cover Page ~ The first House.

Who the bloody hell am I?

I'm not excited,  I am elated - A highlight of my life "RADIO"

 
Of course there are imperfections, and some of the qualities that I should be proud of are arguably in decline. Yet, there can be few, if any, greater skins to be born in.  This is me!

It is time I ascended from the darkness and pain that I was born into and to prevail, to rise above a Crocodile Dundee understanding of myself.
It is time I retold my unique self and reinvented it from a new polar perspective. To do this I need to look at all of the houses of the Zodiac separately and peruse them in detail.

To do this it means dealing with the 12 houses of the zodiac and displaying some of the influences that are on or around us at birth due to where the planets are in the sky at the time of our birth.

The FIRST HOUSE :  This is what I will call Life's Cover Page.

Not dissimilar to your assessments front sheet.   This sheet tells who you are, what level you are at and what subject you are covering.   Well our ascendent is similar because its the stage for "our life performance" that we drop into.  If you go to 'The Big Day Out', there are several stages to visit and see performances.   There is of course the main stage, and there are others.  If you dropped onto the main stage for instance your life will be different to that of someone who dropped onto a minor smaller stage of performance.  The planets and there whereabouts determine these fates for us.

The first house is classically known as  the ascendent and the planet rising there is your ascendent sign.  Whether well  or ill dignified it will effect the mind, bodily appearance and fate of the native through his whole existence.  It will dog you forever this one and there is no getting away from who you are.

This house is masculine and governs the head and face of man.  (ARIES = HEAD)

If the planet Mars be in this house there will always be some blemish or mole upon the face of the native; if a few out of the degrees have ascended the scar or blemish will without fail be on the upper part of the head.  If the middle part of the sign ascends the mark or scar will be in the middle part of the head, and if the latter part of the sign is ascending the mark will be in the chin area.

This house represents the head, the tongue and the memory and it governs in the colour of white. I would also say this has a positive electrical charge more apparent in this time. 

Plants with thorns or prickles, because Mars is a soldier

Plants with a strong, spicy taste, because Mars is very physical

Medicinal plants that purify the blood, that help the head, or that are for sexual potency
Heating plants, which are often quickening as well.  
Planetary and Elemental Correspondences

For myself, my my Ascendant is 25°39' Taurus.

"A fair-haired woman holds a child by the hand and picks flowers in the countryside. A benevolent man lends a hand to help them cross a ford."

Affectionate, peaceful and pleasant character. One is very good at smoothing out rough edges and at helping people settle their disputes in a peaceful way. One finds happiness in accomplishing ordinary duties, appreciates peace at home, and shows tolerance in all fields.

The First House or Ascendant represents one's behaviour in the eyes of others, and also one's health. It corresponds to the way the individual acts in the world. It is the image of the personality seen by others and the person's visible behaviour expressed outwardly. The 1st House is in analogy with Aries and thus Mars too, and then the Sun. It is an angular house, the most important one with the Midheaven, maybe even more so due to its link with the body and health.

Interpretation of the 25° Taurus symbolic degree

The next house is the Second house and I will learn and remember more about this tomorrow.
