It corresponds to the way
the individual acts in the world. It is the image of the personality
seen by others and the person's visible behaviour expressed outwardly.
The 1st House is in analogy with Aries and thus Mars too, and then the Sun. It is an angular house, the most important one with the Midheaven, maybe even more so due to its link with the body and health.
To understand ones Mid-Heaven is important. Here is a complete explanation.
The
Midheaven (
) is the cusp of the
tenth house of the natal chart, and is one of the angles of a chart. It is found
at the very top of the chart, and it is the most public point in our chart. It
relates to our career or "life path" and suggests our social standing and
reputation. The Midheaven is one of the four angles of the chart. The other
three are the Imum Coeli (IC - directly opposite the Midheaven), the
Ascendant (ASC),
and the Descendant (DSC).The Midheaven represents our most visible achievements in the eyes of society, our public "face" (as opposed to our more personal "face" at the Ascendant), our accomplishments, and our overall sense of responsibility and standing in the world/society.
Rising Sign/Ascendant
 Why is that Leo so unassuming and
self-abnegating? Isn't Leo a flamboyant sign? He has a Capricorn
Ascendant. That Pisces friend who is always running around,
talking about everything under the Sun, has a Gemini Ascendant.
That man who has been married
quite a few times, who is given to some fairly rude and shocking
"observations" about others. He has a rather critical
Virgo Moon and a say-it-like-it-is Mercury in Aquarius. However,
he always seems to come across as a nice guy. His Libra Ascendant
gives him a smooth, overall charm that keeps people from thinking
him difficult (except perhaps, his ex-wives).The Ascendant (or rising sign) is often considered the mask one wears when meeting others. Perhaps it is most aptly thought of as the automatic responses to one's environment. The Ascendant shows our natural defenses and how we cope with day-to-day issues. The energies of the sign and condition of the Ascendant are most overt and obvious to others. The Ascendant shows an individual's first, natural reaction to new people and situations.  What follows are general interpretations of the sign position of the Ascendant. Remember that these characteristics are modified by planets conjunct the Ascendant, planets that aspect the Ascendant, and the position of the ruling planet of the sign on the Ascendant. For example, a person with an Aries Ascendant with its ruling planet, Mars, in Sagittarius will respond to the environment a little differently than another person, also with an Aries Ascendant, but whose Mars is in Scorpio. Similarly, a person with a Pisces Ascendant who also has Saturn conjunct it will "behave" differently than someone with a Pisces Ascendant who does not have that aspect.
