The red planet is considered a malefic planet however with the right consciousness it can be a blessing in disguise.
Please remember that this is a general interpretation of Mars in the 1st house/on the Ascendant. Although it has the same repeating pattern if it is in the 1st house, what makes the difference is in that which Zodiac sign it is located in. For example, in Leo it is different than in Libra, however, at the end of the day, it is still Mars.
Mars in 1st house and the personality
Mars in the 1st house makes the person desirous just like Venus. The difference between them is the desirous nature they make the person Venus has an attractive, magnetic, and subtle energy while Mars is energetic, it makes the native go after and get whatever set their mind to.
The most positive part of having the red planet close to the Ascendant is that it makes the person energetic, driven, and motivated. It gives such a passionate nature to the person that he/she is able to inspire others and most importantly to go after their dreams and goals.
They are granted a lot of energy, and enthusiasm they are like fireballs. And that is the reason they constantly need new challenges, and new goals to use that fiery energy for something that builds their lives and doesn’t destroy them.
In truth, the red planet was named after the God of war therefore it can make the person pushy, aggressive, and short-tempered. They have immediate reactions to anything, and they might lose their head quickly or be prone to antagonize others. Especially when they are bored. They get bored easily.
And having a quick temper and pushy nature might lead to conflicts, frustration, and aggression. It is a malefic planet with fiery energy…
Though, the positive thing is they aren’t afraid to fight back, to aren’t afraid to engage in an argument or fight and defend themselves.
These people experience more stressful situations and violence in their life. As they are always in a hurry, and that could also lead to aggression and accidents too. Even if their birth is quick, or their mother had a lot of pain and was bleeding, or the mother needed a c-section when the native was born.
One of the main lessons to learn with this planetary position is that the world doesn’t rotate around them, being selfish might be good or pay off in the short run but definitely not in the long run. Considering others pays off in the long run.
The soldier and conqueror on a mission
These people might feel like they are on a mission, and they feel they have to do something, accomplish something, and go after new goals.
Mars is not active all the time. Only when it is needed to get things done, to go after something, to get energized. Mars is the soldier, who goes to the war, fights, wins and comes back. But he is not in the war all the time.

As Mars rules accidents, these people are prone to having accidents, cuts, bruises, scars, burns, and wounds, and also prone to catch infections. However, if they got a fever or are sick they can overcome it quickly.
Venus in the first house makes the person also look sexy but in a more subtle and magnetic way. While Mars there is more “in your face” energy, and also the “hunter” energy.
These people have more male hormones, even females therefore they grow muscles easily.
Women with this planetary position still can look feminine, not necessarily tomboys however they might prefer having shorter hair.
As Mars rules pain, these people might have more pain in their bodies or don’t feel comfortable in their bodies.
