Over the past year, on this blog, I've shared all about your purpose through the SIGNS + PLANETS in your chart and I hope you loved it!

Over the next year, you're gonna learn all about yourself, your life and your purpose, focusing on the HOUSES in your chart.

🤓 Same astrology wisdom with a more practical and grounded angle!

This week I'm teaching you all about the most important house in your chart...your 1st house.

🏠 Here's why this house is so IMPORTANT...it represents YOU and you are important.

In all of time and space, there will never be another you. That's pretty amazing. 

Even if you believe in reincarnation, like I do, you'll never be this version of you again with all your unique magick.

You only get to be you once. You might as well enjoy being YOU and make the most of it.

 Let's get to know the 1st House.

🤓 The first house represents your:

• rising sign
• birth story
• personality
• appearance 
• perspective
• sense of self

Whichever sign you have in your 1st house flavors all of these aspects of you.

🪐 Whichever planets you have in your 1st house also flavor all of these aspects of you.

Where ever your chart ruler is placed in your chart, flavors all of these aspects of you, as well.

😎 This time we're diving deep into the SIGN you have occupying your 1st house, your chart ruler (or rulers) and its location in your chart.

Next time, we'll dive deep into any planets you have in your first house.

Integrity is important to you and for this reason, share only your embodied wisdom, not just learned wisdom. Otherwise, you're blowing smoke and people feel it.

Whichever house your chart ruler (or rulers) falls in your chart, shows which areas of life flavor your birth story, personality, appearance, perspective and sense of self. This area of life is an important part of who you are.

Look at your chart to see which house your chart ruler(s) is/are in and find it/them below:
