Moon in House 1
Moon represents your emotions, your instincts and what makes you feel safe. House 1 is the house of your own life: the body, your general health, your temperament and the way you present yourself and set things in motion. It's the starting point for everything in the chart — where "you" stand.
In the first house — of life, of the body and of the person himself — the Moon finds an angle, and therefore acts with all its vigour: an angular house gives it full strength, the whole of its virtue. Here the nocturnal luminary marks the body and the temperament, making the complexion moist, the skin fair, the features round, and the soul sensitive, mutable, turned toward what surrounds it. It inclines to a life of many changes, comings and goings, like the Moon itself that is never two nights alike. The countenance shows what it feels, and the mood varies with the phases and with the company. It gives popularity, easy dealing with the common people and a sure instinct for reading the surroundings. The body closely follows the fluids and the inner tide, with health that waxes and wanes. Set in the house of life, the luminary stamps its mark upon all that the person is and seems.
