and how much can you identify/relate to it?

i've made this thread before i think but i can now confirm that your stellium is your most obvious personality. it's something you can't hide from the world.

was browsing tumblr where some random girl was complaining about having a first house stellium and how exhausting it was for her ego never being satisfied... like ever. and i'm like: 'girl same.' it's a never-ending self-exploration.

"I will to will thy will becomes," a mantra only for the most conscious 1st house person, who grows over time to understand that getting what you want isn’t as satisfying as making sure that others are taken care of.

"The first is the house of me-first self-interest, but let’s not be simplistic now that we’re engaged on a walkabout here in the “first” of the houses. The 1st house has the inordinately difficult task of living out the “I” we must all discover as we go through life. If the chart were comprised of Tarot cards symbolizing the self’s journey, this would be the Fool’s house, and the Fool in the Tarot is not a narcissist. If anything, the Fool is an innocent, and innocents are self-absorbed. They can’t help it; or perhaps I should say, “we” can’t help being self-absorbed."

know what's even weirder about being a first houser? it's so ironic how there's so much self-exploration going on. people always remark that you've got a 'strong, easily recognizable personality.' but you're never really sure what that means. you wouldn't spend so much time thinking and talking about yourself so much if you knew yourself so well, right?

and i look at my mars (action/will) and mercury (mind) and how they're in the altar of my 1st house. i've always felt the need to display my actions and my thoughts to be able to understand them better. it's like being an eternal teenager, forever writing on her diary. or like discovering the new world and writing about the flora and fauna and naming them. you know how the 7th house/Libra is about connecting to others? yet i look at them and wonder: 'why do you cling to other people so much?' if life was a game, then i believe we have separate screens. when i was younger, i always lost out on racing games with my brother coz even if we played in one screen, i only ever really focused on MY driving.

if the 7th/Libra was an energy that was so good at connecting people then why do they seek out 'the other' so much? and if the 1st houser had such a 'strong sense of self' then why spend so much time doing self-reflections?

1H/The Fool is about new beginnings, innocence, taking risks and being reckless. but everything is a gamble in the new world. will this plant give me rashes? will this berry be edible or will it poison me? how do you even name a new thing when you've nothing to compare it to, nothing that came before it? you'd do a lot of thinking over the First Great Expedition too, wouldn't you? some unformed land and the possibilities for the future. it always feels like THE First Great Expedition. always with brand new eyes.

"The Tarot story of the Fool is that he travels aimlessly with all his worldly possessions. A daydreamer lost in his thoughts, he does not see the cliff and is likely to fall over. The dog at his heels tries to warn him."

1st house stellium & cap soft stellium ( cuz it’s 3)

1st house - I see things from a me perspective but I am not self-absorbed. I have typically put others first. I have a tough time with others trying to dictate who I should be though. As if it’s I’m not good enough, well it’s been a working through thing from childhood to midlife, and I do understand self care must better now.

Probably part of that is due to a 12th house sun & mars I guess.

I guess self-absorbed but put others first? That seems opposite and weird but that’s how life has been. A therapist Who I went to helped me understand it was because when you can’t solve your problems it’s easier to solve others. Haha but not really!!! It started at 8 when my parents got divorced and I tried to fix it. He says how’s that working for you? 😂😂😂😂😳🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️ Not so well I said. So I learned others have choices and to concentrate on me! Omg funny be your first house or something. I was 50 at the time 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

I am also caring & taking care of others.. for those I love. Kids, spouses, boyfriends, friends. So that seems weird to say I’m self-absorbed. 🤪

just coz you're self-absorbed doesn't mean you don't care about other people.

i care about my pets and people i love but i spend a HUGE amount of time thinking about myself, my interests, my feelings, my thoughts and my situation in life.

in fact, this is my #351354545 me thread.

i'm trying to understand why i'm so self-absorbed and why that may not be such a bad thing.

It’s introspective and understanding yourself is not a bad thing. In fact, it is good to be more aware and figure out what makes you tick, how you relate to others instead of blame others or events for everything. It’s good to have self care and have a bigger picture of what’s happening around you. In fact, in therapy they say that’s healthier. Rather than making someone or things outside you responsible to make you happy, you make things internally responsible. That’s my take on it anyway after years of trying to be what others told me I was supposed to be.

I think one of the cool things about astrology is that it helps you understand yourself & others better 🙂
