The first house is the body and the manner of arriving. Mars there arrives fast. The native walks quickly, sits forward, interrupts, and reaches for the door handle before the sentence is finished. Others read them as forceful within seconds, which opens some rooms and closes others. There is genuine physical courage here, and a low tolerance for being told to wait. Scars, from sport or accident or fighting, are common and usually acquired young.
Initiative is the placement's real asset. Where most people are still assessing, this native has already begun, and the beginning is frequently worth more than the assessment would have been. Physical work suits them, as does anything requiring a decision under pressure. Vitality runs high and needs discharging daily; a native of this placement kept sedentary becomes irritable within a week and unpleasant within a month.
The cost is a self permanently at the ready. The native quarrels over trifles because the apparatus for quarrelling is always warm, and apologises afterwards with real sincerity and no change in behaviour. Patience is not merely absent but genuinely painful. Headaches, fevers, and injuries to the head and face recur. And a manner that reads as confidence to strangers reads as aggression to intimates, who see the temper more often than the courage.
