Mars in the 1st House 
  ***************** 
  According to mythology, Mars sprang from the loins of the raging goddess Thera as a 
  fully grown warrior. This may be a very fitting picture, since those with Mars in the 
  first house have a quick temper, and their actions may easily get out of control. It is 
  possible that the slightest delay makes you impatient and angry, and you constantly 
  have the feeling that you must prove yourself. You should not fight out your conflicts 
  on a physical level or let your aggression loose on the next best available person. It 
  would be better for you to channel your energies into physical training or sport, 
  particularly the practice of T'ai chi, trance dancing, or Wushu (Kung Fu).  
   
  Persons with this placement usually have a strong jaw line. You make an honest, 
  dynamic, and refreshingly open impression. Be sure to act with frankness and 
  conviction. Learn to set your own priorities with enough importance that you do not 
  find yourself playing a role for the sake of gaining attention from others. Being 
  impulsive, you are just the sort of person to jump into life at the deep end. You do 
  not sit around and wait for something to happen, you like to grasp the initiative 
  yourself. It is perfectly acceptable to take what you want from life instead of trying to 
  gain what you want through manipulative behavior. You have a strong desire to 
  control your own fate and are prepared to tackle any obstacles in order to get what 
  you want. You possess great vitality and your desire for independence may display 
  itself at a very tender age. If Mars receives some challenges from other planets, 
  certain errors may crop up that lead to much frustration. If you overtax your strength, 
  headaches are likely.
