Selena (White Moon) in the First House – An Angel at the Crossroads

Selena, or the White Moon, is a fictitious point that reflects the bright karma accumulated by the native themselves in a past life, or by their ancestors over several generations. The area where the sign of the guardian angel is located will show in which sphere of life, thanks to the good deeds of the family line, happiness and good fortune will smile upon the person without any special effort on their part. However, it is not so straightforward.

Selena’s cycle is seven years, and if in the first part of life one can collect bonuses and enjoy the fruits of success, without supporting karma through good deeds the protection inevitably fades. Natives with the White Moon in the First House—which is associated with personal growth, appearance, character, style, and social behavior—undergo tests of loyalty to divine ideals in these areas every seventh year of life. If the chosen path is true, they receive even greater blessings from above. To pass these tests, it is important to know what tasks the chart’s guardian angel sets before the native.

The Influence of Selena in the First House on Character and Destiny

The benefic influence of the White Moon in the First sector of the natal chart is so powerful that it extends to other planets, amplifying their positive qualities and, consequently, the native’s talents and charm—which is already quite magnetic thanks to a radiant aura reflecting Selena’s light. A harmoniously placed White Moon in the First House bestows its protégés with blessings, like a kind fairy godmother, from birth:

• fair skin, straight light hair—even if both parents are brunettes—and something strikingly white and noticeable in appearance, such as beautiful teeth or incredibly clear whites of the eyes;
• spiritual beauty, a melodic voice, and innate grace, especially when in conjunction or positive aspect with Venus;
• optimism, nobility, altruism, generosity, and a confidence in one’s own value to the Universe;
• the birth of the child is accompanied by something wonderful and mystical—conception or delivery takes place successfully against medical odds, the family suddenly experiences financial growth, or a blood relative of the native is miraculously healed;
• protection from higher powers and robust health, enabling survival even through epidemics and disasters up to the age of seven—when the first test of resilience occurs, and if it is passed, these blessings continue;
• sympathy and interest from others at first sight: the native does not even have to do anything to win people’s favor;
• people always perceive the person better than they really are, striving to help, to give something valuable, or to show attention and care;
• Higher Powers encourage the desire for independence, helping the native achieve instant success in their first steps toward autonomy;
• the native attracts a spiritually developed, noble, and loving partner with Selena in the Seventh House (with such a configuration, an ideal and harmonious marriage is indicated).

Children with the White Moon in the First House are morally pure, with an innate sense of justice and a desire to help others. As a rule, they are surrounded by friends and loving relatives, and even teachers at school unconsciously feel sympathy for them. However, these qualities may arouse envy or a desire to corrupt or spoil their character, especially if enemies have Lilith (the Black Moon) in the First or Seventh Houses.

The Three Karmic Levels of Selena in the First House

The guardian angel in the First sector of the chart initially blocks any attempt to commit wrongful acts. For some time, the native has no chance to do poorly in school, use foul language, or destroy their body with bad habits. But with negative aspects and a weakening of the White Moon’s protection in the First House, the native can turn into a wolf in sheep’s clothing, using personal charm and invulnerability for selfish purposes. Those under Selena’s influence manifest in the world according to their level of spiritual development:

1. Lower – The person is initially perceived as a pure angel, incapable of wrongdoing, and actively takes advantage of this, shifting blame onto those who appear less fortunate or suspicious. Even their lies sound like the truth. It is hard for this person to resist the temptation to manipulate those who sympathize with them. They come out clean from any dirty story, unconsciously evoking compassion, and the closer Lilith is to the zenith of the House where harm is being done, the weaker Selena’s influence.

2. Middle – Unconditional love from others, a desire to leave a mark on the world, and all-around support from Higher Powers in the chosen direction of development. Beauty, artistry, eloquence. Protection from enemies and ill-wishers. Any gossip, character flaws, or mistakes go unnoticed in terms of reputation.

3. Higher – The destiny to be a tuning fork of holiness and spiritual beauty in the sinful world, changing it for the better through the radiance of one’s personality. The ability to awaken goodness even in the heart of a hardened villain and to guide others toward spiritual ideals through creativity.

At any level, the sign of the angel in the First sector of the chart promises longevity and success in pursuits requiring organizational skills.

Important Aspects of Selena in the First House

With favorable connections between the White Moon and the Sun or Moon in the First House, the native appears even more luminous and positive in the eyes of others. In the first case, the emphasis will be on a striking appearance, leadership qualities, and creative talents; in the second, on inner beauty and the ability to heal psychological wounds.

Harmonious configurations with Jupiter give protection from those in high positions; with Mercury—an enchanting gift of speech; with Pluto—psychic influence over the masses; with Venus—an angelically beautiful face and artistic talents. Negative aspects with these planets bring temptations to use these gifts selfishly, an inflated ego, and spoiledness. Selena on the Ascendant gives the native conscious use of their talents for their intended purpose, as well as support from others in self-realization.  ✓
