Saturn in the 1st house will show us a person who is outwardly detached, a bit cold, restrained and somewhat slow-paced.
The 1st house is the most visible house, the first impression of a person, it shows appearance, behavior, style and their first instinctive reaction to the surrounding world. The first thing we can assess in a person with this position of Saturn is their appearance. They are often thin, with pale, dry skin, short in stature, and may have a slouching posture. With angular facial features and pronounced cheekbones. It's worth noting that nowadays, the female half more often resorts to facial manipulations, injections, fillers, facelifts, and surgical interventions, so the identification of planets in the 1st house in the modern world becomes more difficult, as appearance can be deceiving. Especially now, when it's popular to emphasize the cheekbones and increase the lips. So it's not necessarily the case that those with pronounced cheekbones have Saturn in the 1st house. Not at all. We should look at photographs from their younger years.
The gaze and the face may convey a certain sadness, coldness, detachment. It reminds one of the classic image of the Snow Queen. The image of cold beauty - the girls may be beautiful, charming, but seem inaccessible.
The external appearance is also interesting - some with this position leave no room for criticism, every hair in place, everything buttoned up, clothes ironed, everything tucked in, they prefer classic style. And there are those, on the contrary, with a slightly ascetic image - old jeans, stretched sweaters, something old or in a retro style, but beloved. As if they prefer to hide, not stand out.
The manner of behavior is restrained, the person seems to be trying to control themselves and adopt a more detached position, or creates the impression that they are constantly busy with something. The person is not ready to open up and not ready for any interaction. Of course, Saturn itself can be in fiery signs, or the Ascendant in a fiery sign, and this will show us an active and somewhat pushy person, but nevertheless, a certain detachment will be present.
In motor skills, there may be noticeable slowness, especially if Saturn is in Water or Earth signs. The person may be shy, get lost in communication, with reduced communication, or may communicate in a cool manner.
For such a person, it is important that their life is organized, and it is desirable that they adhere to a certain daily routine or schedule in their life. Such a person looks at the world seriously, and may be inclined to pessimism.
