The 1st House - You, the Querent, and Your Body
Whatever the subject of the chart, the 1st house always signifies one person: the person asking the question, or the querent. In brief, this is the "self" in the chart.
Principal meanings
In every question, the 1st house represents the querent: physical appearance, vitality, general health, and present condition are read from it. An important distinction is that the significator is not the house itself, but the planet ruling the 1st house, together with the Moon.
When is this house used?
Questions directly concerning you — how you feel, whether you will recover, or how matters will go from your point of view — belong here.
Body and traditional note
The 1st house governs the head and face. Mercury rejoices in this house and, when well placed, signifies good speakers.
Sample question: I have felt very weak lately. Will I recover soon?
