1st House in Synastry

The Houses represent the various areas of life in which personalities, relationships, and events manifest, and the fashion in which they do so; in synastry, the ways in which one person's planets stimulate the houses of another can indicate the difference between a lover, a teacher, or a grandmother ... although sometimes not as distinctly as one might think. The 1st House symbolizes the area of life devoted to identity formation, development of self-esteem and self-image, and the assertion of one's self as a unique individual; in synastry, the impact of one person's planets on another's 1st House indicates the manner in which they will either enhance or retard the full flowering of the other's sense of self.
