Moon in the 1st House: You're emotional, sensitive, changeable and have a strong imagination. Your mood depends on the environment you're in and your actions depend on your mood. You can be successful in public life once you overcome an innate shyness. You're so eager to please due to a need for recognition you often allow others to use you and then become resentful if your efforts are not appreciated. Your self-awareness and self-expression are strongly colored by your emotions, early environment and family matters and are too easily influenced by others. You can be psychic or a medium. You have close ties to your mother but, if the Moon conjuncts the Ascendant, you may have a mother complex. You're physically active and, if in a cardinal or mutable sign, you may be restless. You often lack long-range purpose and direction. In a male's chart, there's too much femininity.
