The 1st house of your birth chart influences who you are as an overall person: your concept of self, your personality, and even your physical appearance. While all the signs and planets work together in your birth chart to form the complete picture of you and your life, your 1st House of Self is a strong, general representation of who you are, the energy you carry, and the traits that are important to you as you move through this world. The nature of your 1st house is the personality you put out to others -- the first impression people get upon meeting you.
In general (but maybe not in your personal birth chart), the 1st house is associated with Aries, the first sign of the zodiac that's all about independence, energy and satisfying itself!
