What is the first house?

The first house is the entrance point of life. It is the 'stargate' of the soul where you make the transition from one dimension of being to another. This is the point at which your soul has to squeeze into your new body, mind and personality.

All the points of interest in the first house, astrology, archetypes, guides, mentors and talismans are indications of the primary conditions that you set up for filtering through and connecting to the earth realm.

There are three layers to the mask your soul wears in order to maintain your position on this planet – like a specialized spacesuit, our bodies, our minds and our ego make up the essential components of our 'earthsuit' and these are the things that we shed when we pass over and go back HOME.

The body is the physical vehicle that we use to get around on earth. The first house contains the blueprints of our physical conditions, the body we are using. The animal guides and astrology of this house in the chart will give clues as to what you were expecting from your body.

The mind is the mental filter (perceptions) that you are using to navigate through life. Archetypes in the first house are programs that allow to process the experiences you have in life and will be most prominent in the 'firsts' of your current life. Meeting others for the first time, entering new situations and encountering new challenges, and also your personal motivation to seek out new situations in your life, all of this is filtered through your mind which is where the archetypes are in place and remember, you placed your archetypal programs there.

The ego gives you patterns of consistency in your personal behavior. The ego is usually the first thing you offer to anyone in new situations.

All these points of the first house are mapped out by animal guides, mentors (masters), archetypes and astrology. Angelic presence is the energy that assists you. They are ready to help you through the rough spots and the confusing twists and turns that we didn't plan on. The angel in the first house is the first one to call on in physical situations and issues.

In the first house you are sticking to the specifics of the three layer 'earthsuit' that you are living through in this life: Body, mind and ego. These are not indicators of your purpose for coming here or your deeper motivations for your earthly experiences. All the traits of your mind, body and ego are surface traits. This doesn't mean they are superficial on the contrary, so much of how you are perceived by others come from this house which has a huge effect on your experience. This is the first contact house, the point at which the rest of your life unfolds. The traits here may not go deep into your soul purpose but they do dictate in what ways you impress your presence on others and for the most part the level at which most people in your life will know you.
