How others see you and interact with you is directly related to the way in which you see the world and this all falls into 1st House territory.Ī house with no planets inhabiting it is considered an empty house in astrology.Īs with many things in astrology, not everyone will agree on the exact meaning of an empty house, but in the branch of astrology I prefer, Evolutionary Astrology, having an empty house just means that you didn’t need natal planets there to achieve what you came here to do. Some describe this house as your social persona or the “mask” that you wear. This cusp of this house also has another name, your Ascendant, and it is a very important angle in your chart and considered one of astrology’s “Big 3.” This house helps to define how you express your personality and how others view you. Two names for the 1st House are the House of Personality and the House of Self.
