The First House – The House of Self | Poetry | Part 2

 

I am the First House, the beginning of your journey.

I reflect your body, your mind, your temperament, and your outer presence.

I hold your prosperity, your vitality, and the way you face life.

When you took your first breath, I rose with you from the East —

That rising point is called your Ascendant or Lagna.

In the grand body of the cosmos, I am the head —

The seat of identity, direction, and conscious will.

I am your mirror — showing not just how others see you,

But how you carry your identity, your health, your spirit.

My guiding lights, or Karaka, is

The Sun – for vigour, health, and life force

The First House, your Lagna — I am not just the beginning,

I am the head, the helm, the strength and backbone of your horoscope.
