What do you mean Mars is at the beginning?

The initial degree is: the "initial planet" is the planet at the initial degree in the star map.

This has nothing to do with constellations, but only involves degrees, but planets must be located between 0 degrees and 5-6 degrees in a constellation.

The "first planet" shows that the personal experience of planetary energy is not mature, so it can't be used well all the time, especially when the individual is in the beginning or brand-new situation.
