FIRST HOUSE MOON means –\u00a0‘Its all about ME’. First house moon native is much focused on SELF than on others. Now depending on the quality of the horoscope – either the native becomes\u00a0self-centered\u00a0OR if the quality of horoscope is really good then the native starts focusing on\u00a0SELF GROWTH.\u00a0It is necessary to understand that there is a difference between – being self-centered and being focused on self-growth. A self-centered person is a SELFISH person, whereas a person focused on Self-Growth is aware of the fact that if an egg is broken by an outside force, life ends. If broken by an inside force, life begins. Great things always begin from the inside. A positive person with this placement thus remains focused on strengthening himself from the inside – he has a good potential to progress in meditation as well as to work on his drawbacks – thus self-learning, self-improvement, self-growth is highly possible with this placement provided the horoscope has good conjunctions and placements and is in general of good quality.<\/p>\n

Moon is Mind and Moon in first house is like the MIND RULING OVER YOU which is NOT a good sign.<\/p>\n

“The Mind is a beautiful Servant but a dangerous Master.”<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

MIND or MOON on the very throne (ascendant) is not a good sign especially if the MOON is alone. Such a man or woman is easily influenced and changeable and not trustworthy.<\/p>\n

However if the Moon is in conjunction with Jupiter – then the whole dynamics change and now this MOON becomes a beautiful servant – and Jupiter drives the Moon on the right path – the buddha path – the self-growth path.<\/p>\n

But if Moon is in conjunction with Rahu or Venus or Mercury – then this is definitely not a good sign for spiritual progress – the person is too much trapped in the temptations of the material world.<\/p>\n

Moon Ketu conjunction in the Ascendant or first house is good – provided the moon sign is Pisces, Scorpio or Cancer.<\/p>\n

In short – moon alone in the Ascendant is a bad placement. for material progress but not for spiritual progress.<\/p>\n

Lastly if Moon is with Sun in the Ascendant then the birth has happened on a NO MOON DAY Amavasya – the moon is afflicted and generally the mother of such a native suffers in life or the mother is not of a good character – or she may have certain mental problems. Moon with Sun is definitely not a good sign – especially in the first house – such a conjunction can and does create mental problems for the native as well.<\/p>\n

Moon is the Mind. And so when Moon in the first house is with Mars – the person is found to be hot tempered – gets quickly angry.<\/p>\n

As mentioned earlier the best placement for Moon in first house – is when Moon is in conjunction with Jupiter or Ketu. Then the person attains progress on his or her spiritual path.<\/p>\n

However one thing is for sure – that MOON alone in the first house definitely becomes great challenge for spiritual growth because the whole essence of spiritual growth is overcoming the Mind (moon) and when Moon is placed in the Ascendant – it becomes a challenging position for spiritual seekers. However from a materialistic perspective\u00a0this moon does provide certain positive results\u00a0– such as it\u00a0gives a beautiful body, a charming personality, a good sex appeal\u00a0and overall it gives you the\u00a0natural magnetism to attract the opposite sex.\u00a0Many men having moon in the first house\u00a0attract a lot of woman\u00a0whereas a woman having this placement\u00a0appears very attractive to men.\u00a0A soothing personality, a caring person is what you get with Moon in the first house. The former US President\u00a0John F Kennedy\u00a0has this placement. His moon was placed exactly in the first house. He was probably the most likeable and popular US president in America.<\/p>\n

“A man may die, nations may rise and fall. but an idea lives on.” – President John F. Kennedy\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

First house moon is focused on turning the attention of others towards oneself. And so this is a good placement for a politician considering the need to appeal to others is very much essential for attaining power. John F Kennedy or better known as JFK was successful in attaining power – much credit goes to his moon placed in the first house. Here is a quick look at JFK\u2019s horoscope:<\/p>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

As you can see – his moon is placed in the first house in Poorva Phalguni Nakshatra – Leo sign. Whereas Sun and Venus – both are comfortably placed in the house of power – the 10th house! No doubt he became the US President – in fact a very popular US President.<\/p>\n

Moon in the first house does gives a good attractive body and face provided the lord of the first house is well placed. A woman having moon in the first house is found to be beautiful – she has a certain glow to her face but she is also very changeable – and is not reliable as such. If you have a girlfriend or boyfriend having this placement then be careful.<\/p>\n

Public person – OR – Public figure is one trait of this placement. The very quality of attracting attention of others towards oneself makes them a public figure provided the chart has a certain level of talent and quality to it.<\/p>\n

Nelson Mandela was born with\u00a0first house Moon\u00a0in Vishakha Nakshatra – Libra sign. Here is a quick look at his birth chart.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Libra sign is very much connected with SOCIAL LIFE. Men and women born with Moon in Libra or Ascendant in Libra are highly socializing and generally have the potential to become a public figure.<\/p>\n

Nelson Mandela was a prominent social reformer and freedom fighter. He was imprisoned for 20 years – and still he never gave up. Moon in the first house generally gives a NEVER GIVE UP attitude.<\/p>\n

“Believe it or not, a Never Give Up attitude is the only difference -between people who are successful and those who are not.
\nIT’S SIMPLE.”<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Person with this placement is often found to be an extrovert. Does well in social circles. However health condition often fluctuates – at times the person is feeling energetic while at times feels low. Constant change in mental and health condition is a trademark of moon in the first house.<\/p>\n

These men fall quickly to appreciation. If you want to make these natives happy – then just appreciate them and they will quickly yield to your demands or requests. Very often it is this\u00a0trap of appreciation\u00a0that make them a victim. Natives with this placement should try to see whether the appreciation is real or has some hidden agenda.<\/p>\n

This is a very mental placement since MOON becomes the KING and when MIND becomes your MASTER then it is natural that you are going to face many trials and tragedies in your life. The MIND is a monkey – and because it is a monkey – it keeps swinging from one branch of thought to the other – it is never STILL – spirituality is all about bringing the MIND to STILLNESS – that is to STILL the wavering MIND.<\/p>\n

“All spiritual disciplined are done with a view to still the mind. The perfectly still mind is universal spirit.”<\/strong>
\n-Swami Ramdas<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

A wavering mind always makes you feel as if you have wandered all over the world – as if you know everything about the world – that is what happened with a monkey. And he was not an ordinary monkey – he was the KING OF MONKEYS. One day he went to Gautama Buddha and said \u201cI would like to become a Buddha.\u201d Buddha said, \u201cI have never heard of anybody having ever become a Buddha while remaining a monkey.
\nThe monkey said, \u201cYou don\u2019t know my powers. I am no ordinary monkey. \u201d No monkey thinks that he is ordinary, all monkeys think that they are extraordinary; that is part of their monkeyness. He said, \u201cI am no ordinary monkey. What are you talking about? I am a king of monkeys.\u201d
\nSo Buddha asked, \u201cWhat exceptional or extraordinary powers do you have? Can you show me?\u201d
\nThe monkey said, \u201cI can jump to the very end of the world.\u201d He had been jumping all along in the trees. He knew how to jump.
\nSo Buddha said, \u201cOkay. Come onto the palm of my hand and jump to the other end of the world.\u201d
\nThe monkey tried and tried, and he was really a very powerful monkey, a
\nvery intense monkey. He went like an arrow, and he went and he went\u2026 he went. Months and \u2014 the story says \u2014 years passed. And then the monkey came to the very end of the world.
\nHe laughed; he said, \u201cLook! The very end!\u201d He looked down. It was an abyss: five pillars were standing there to mark the boundary. Now he had to come back. But how would he prove that he had been to these five pillars? So he urinated near a pillar \u2014 a thing that a monkey does! so as to to mark it!<\/p>\n

Years passed and he came back. When he reached Buddha he said, \u201cI have been to the very end of the world, and I have left a mark.\u201d But Buddha said, \u201cJust look around.\u201d
\nHe had not moved at all. Those five pillars were the\u00a0five fingers of Buddha.\u00a0And they were stinking\u2026.He had been there with closed eyes\u2026 must have been dreaming.<\/p>\n

That is how the MIND is – it is just this monkey who thought that he has been to the other end of the world when in reality he had been on the same palm of Buddha – by swinging from the little finger to the thumb of Buddha – he thought he had travelled the whole world!<\/p>\n

When such a MIND is ruling over you – there is bound to be many miseries in your life than otherwise. So Moon in Ascendant is primarily not a good position unless the MOON is with Jupiter or Ketu – because in our galaxy these two – Jupiter and Ketu – are the only entities that can actually encourage you to turn inwards and overcome this monkey mind.<\/p>\n

Either the person becomes too SELFISH with this placement or becomes SELFLESS with this placement – it all depends on the Moon sign lord and the aspects to Moon. You either get a BHOGI or YOGI with this placement – there is no middle ground – mediocrity is not in play when moon is in the first house. These are people of extremes – they find it difficult to compromise. And that is indeed one good quality of this placement that these natives never compromise.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cLove and respect yourself and never compromise for anything. And then you will be surprised how much growth starts happening of its own accord.. as if rocks have been removed and the river has started flowing.\u201d – Osho<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In a way this is a Royal placement – a Kingly placement where the native enjoys all pleasures of human life – that includes sexual pleasures as well.<\/p>\n

Success in material world is guaranteed with the placement when the moon sign lord is well-placed and aspected positively.<\/p>\n

Overall this is a placement that bring more graceful energy to the forefront – a man with this placement appears sophisticated and appealing to women – while a woman with this placement appears sexy and appealing to men.<\/p>\n

Moon in first house means the Ascendant and Moon sign is the same – this simply means that the person is completely ruled by the MIND – and as you all know the MIND is never stable – and so is the life of these natives – it is never stable – it goes through many ups and downs. And moreover this placement brings more miseries and suffering because suffering is mental – and MOON in the Ascendant sign does makes the person more sensitive and prone to suffering.<\/p>\n

Being rich has nothing to do with being happy. Happiness is based on the state of mind and not on the state of your bank balance. Native with this placement takes everything to his or her heart – because when you BECOME MIND – the MIND continues to cause much unhappiness in your life.<\/p>\n

“Mind is a mechanism to create unhappiness. Its whole function is to create unhappiness. If you drop the mind, suddenly you become happy – for no reason at all.” – Osho<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

To overcome unhappiness – to overcome the miseries of life – you have to drop the mind. And when MIND (Moon) is sitting on your head – i.e. in the Ascendant – it may seem like a difficult battle. But with daily meditation practice you can overcome the mind – all you need is to get started with meditation, with chanting.<\/p>\n

“Chanting is a way of getting in touch with yourself. It’s an opening of the heart and letting go of the mind and thoughts. It deepens the channel of grace, and it’s a way of being present in the moment.”
\n-Krishna Das<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The MORE THE MOON is prominent – the more the MIND is prominent and the more the MIND is prominent the more is the suffering. And since human life is more driven by the MIND – it is obvious that LIFE becomes a SUFFERING. Buddha therefore says that LIFE IS SUFFERING.<\/p>\n

Moon chart is therefore most important than the Ascendant chart – and in this case since the Moon and Ascendant chart is one – it is a clear indication that the native has identified himself or herself\u00a0with the MIND\u00a0and not the SELF.<\/p>\n

“Identification with your mind creates an opaque screen of concepts, labels, images, words, judgments, and definitions that blocks all true relationship.”
\n-Eckhart Tolle<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Moon in the Ascendant or in the first house therefore becomes a challenging placement – because the person identifies himself with the mind. He becomes the MIND and then MIND then takes him for a RIDE – a very dangerous ride that leads him to more unhappiness than otherwise.<\/p>\n

“To be identified with your mind is to be trapped in time: the compulsion to live almost exclusively through memory and anticipation.”
\n-Eckhart Tolle<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I am not denying the fact that money and fame comes with this placement but I am also making you all aware that money and fame has absolutely nothing to do with your SELF GROWTH – and your HAPPINESS.<\/p>\n

“Fame is foolish, it is pointless, meaningless. Even if the whole world knows you, how does it make you richer? How does it make your life more blissful? How does it help you to be more understanding, to be more aware? To be more alert, to be more alive?” – OSHO<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The best advice therefore is to focus on your self-growth. With Moon in the first house – you can do this – all you need is the right guidance and the right master.<\/p>\n

The right master is the one who gives you absolute freedom – who makes you independent – and the one who makes you capable of\u00a0knowing yourself.<\/p>\n

“Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.”
\n-Aristotle<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Everything is possible – when the master appears before you – and the master appears only when you are ready. This readiness is based on your level of surrender (ATMASAMARPAN) – and the depth of understanding that you have attained through deep penance and devotion towards God.<\/p>\n

Nothing comes on its own – everything comes when you start taking efforts – when you remain consistent in your efforts – when you remain committed to finding the answer to the question –\u00a0WHO AM I?<\/p>\n

“The inquiry “who am I” turns the mind introvert and makes it calm.”<\/strong>
\n-Ramana Maharshi<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

And when the mind becomes calm – the soul starts speaking and then you get to hear the truth that you seek\u2026<\/p>\n

Meditate and let the journey within begin.<\/p>\n
