About Mars

Mars is your drive: how you go after things, how you get angry and how you get moving on a Monday. It's courage, sex drive and the urge to win, all in one slightly sweaty package.

About the 1st house

The 1st house is your front door: the first impression, the way you walk into a room and the body you do it in. It's how you meet the world before anyone's had a proper conversation with you.

Mars in the 1st, sign by sign

The sign Mars was in changes the style. Find yours.

Aries →You move first and think later, and people can see it: a quick walk, a quick temper, and a body that wants a challenge before breakfast. Taurus →Calm and immovable, you act at your own pace with a strong, grounded physical presence that nobody has ever managed to hurry. Gemini →Restless and quick, you're always mid-sentence or mid-move, with nervous energy that shows in your hands, your feet and your many open tabs. Cancer →Your drive comes out sideways: you act on feelings first, protect yourself with a tough shell, and your mood shows plainly on your face. Leo →You enter rooms as if a spotlight follows you, acting with confidence, pride and a flair for drama that people notice instantly. Virgo →Capable and quietly busy, you act with precision and fix things before anyone else has noticed they were broken. Libra →Charm and tact lead the way, giving the world a calm, polished face even when you're seething underneath and picking your moment. Scorpio →Intense and magnetic, you act with quiet strategy, and people sense you're far more determined than you let on. Sagittarius →Restless and enthusiastic, you're always on the move, with a blunt honesty that's sometimes refreshing and sometimes a bit much. Capricorn →Composed and serious, you act with a discipline and purpose that make people assume you're the one in charge. Aquarius →Independent and a little unpredictable, you act on principle and refuse to follow a crowd just because it's there. Pisces →Soft and adaptable on the surface, you act on instinct and go with the flow, though there's quiet strength under the dreaminess.

When Mars visits your 1st

Mars in your 1st house gives you a burst of energy and nerve. You're more direct and competitive, and a little shorter-tempered too. Channel the fizz into exercise or a project with a clear start.
