Moon in the 1st house
The Moon in the 1st house wears its feelings on the outside. Your moods show on your face, people read you before you speak, and you take in everything around you.
You have been asked “what’s wrong?” on days you had not yet noticed anything was.
Your first house is the house of the self, the body and the first impression, and your Moon, the part of you that feels and needs, was in it when you were born. Here the Moon sits on the surface. Whatever you feel arrives on your face a moment before it arrives in words.
Easy to read
People find you warm, open and changeable in the way weather is changeable: the same person, a different sky each day. You respond to a place before you understand it, and your first instinct about someone is usually right.
Your looks change with your moods more than most people’s do. A good week shows; so does a hard one.
Taking everything in
You absorb the mood around you like a sponge. A tense meeting stays in your shoulders for an evening, and a kind stranger can lift a whole afternoon. Children and animals come straight to you, because they can tell you will understand them.
Too porous
The risk is that you lose track of which feelings are yours. A crowd can leave you full of other people’s worries, and you carry them home.
Give yourself ten quiet minutes after a crowded day, before you decide how you feel about it.
Where you begin
Strangers trust you within minutes, because nothing about you is hidden, and they are right to.
Were you born with the Moon in the 1st house?
The houses are drawn from the horizon at the minute and the place you were born, and the whole wheel of them turns once a day, so the house a planet stands in depends on your birth time. Two people born on the same day can have the Moon in different houses.
Your chart, below, places the Moon in its house and every other planet in theirs.
Find your own Moon
Your chart is free and takes a moment: the wheel, your Sun, Moon and rising sign, and every planet in its sign and house, the Moon among them.
