What Mars in the 1st house means

Bold, energetic and direct; you meet life head-on, and may be quick to anger or to get hurt.

Mars stands for drive, courage, desire and anger. The 1st house is the house of your body, appearance, personality and the way you begin things. Put together, Mars spends its energy there.

The 1st house belongs naturally to Aries, a sign Mars rules, so it feels at home; the 1st is an angular house, where planets act strongly and in the open.

In Vedic astrology Mars in the 1st house makes a chart Manglik (Kuja dosha): fiery energy in marriage. Traditionally a Manglik marries a Manglik.
