Planets in signs and houses
Mars in the 1st House
Tropical zodiac, Western astrology
Mars in the 1st house makes you a person who acts first and speaks plainly. Your physical energy is strong, your movements brisk, and you are often the first to step forward when there is a challenge. You dislike waiting and dislike being ordered about. Courage and directness are strengths, but impatience can lead to slips made in haste or hurtful words. Channel the energy into sport or a clear goal, and breathe before replying in anger, and your leadership will be strong without frightening anyone.
