Are You Courageous?

Check Your Third

House

by Vasireddy Sreenivasa Rao

      Karma is irrevocable, whether you like it or not, it heralds you through a maze of
impediments, joys, howlers, achievements, humiliating situations, etc. You may be tired of
needless and fruitless journeys. You almost become a neurotic, through overbearing sisters or
brothers. Often you overestimate intensions of your friends and get into an awkward position.
Opportunists call you a coward! Your hissings and groans are heard on the other side of the
phone. Your well wishers play with your pride and prestige! The killjoy tenant on ground floor
warns you of that stench emanating from your toilet right on his head?
      Well! Let us see that other side of this story! You have arrived at a place after a short journey
to take a breather, and the bloke to whom you loaned thousand bucks spots you in the crowd and
returns the same with thanks. Your brother makes a trunk call, assuring you that he is coming
with the money you needed for completing the slab on your new hours! Your friends make a
beeline to greet you on the event of your completion of one year accident free scooter ride! Your
distant relations keep making phone calls, enquiring about your new kitchen-garden project and
offer their advices and services! You are amazed at the arrival of a loan officer in person, and you
are asked to sign on the dotted line while he counts cash.
      Yes Sir! all above are the attributes of 3rd house in your chart. These positive and negative
results depend upon the strength of the 3rd house, its lord, aspecting planets and the position of
karaka Mars. Your house of luck, i.e. 9th house is 7th from 3rd. Hence any sinister aspect from
3rd will invariably spoil 9th results. A malefic in 3rd will halt professional progress, because it is
6th from the 10th! Again the same malefic will make a dent or two in your finances, because it is
second to your 2nd house in the chart. Still the same malefic in the 3rd will kill harmony in your
domestic front, because it is 12th from 4th. No need to panic! This is how astrology works! You
are a blessed soul if you have a right planet in right place!!
      The third house stands for one's courage and unceasing spirit, even under adverse conditions.
For this reason, one should have well protected 3rd house. The Sun is praised in 3rd, since it is
his Vikramasthana. The legend is that King Vikramaditya had the most powerful Sun in his 3rd
house. One becomes wealthy, and takes care of those whom he lies most, blessed with good wife
and issues. The Sun should be free from all afflictions, otherwise younger brothers will face the
music. But, for Gemini, the Sun in the third is his own house assures lucky co-borns. Let us put
the mighty Mars in 3rd. Again he is harmful for brothers, the rule 'Karaka Bhava Nashaya'. If
Mars is exalted in the third, the native becomes a sporting personality and maintains unattached
maidens and spinsters. Impish Mercury gives perseverance, thoughtfulness and one will be
surrounded by friends and hangers-on. Redoubtable Jupiter in third brings in an element of
miserliness. Sedate Venus when found in third, blesses one with many sisters, but the eyesight
will be defective. Tardy Saturn in third finds a safe place, but harms the interests of co-borns,
though one becomes wealthy and will have grandchildren. A dignified Rahu in third confers
happiness, wealth, high position in life and vehicles but is not good for co-borns. Retiring Ketu
in third brings in wealth through litigations, though anxieties and fears are apparent. Finally the
Moon in third makes one man of few words.
      The third house in any nativity represents: courage, valor, servants, relations, younger
brother, short journeys, communicative skills, neighbors, writings, friends, mental caliber,
correspondence, brokerage, and finally hearing problems (ear diseases) and a host of other
results. When a planet there is weak, the above results suffer. One's enthusiasm is dampened. To
gain maximum benefits from other houses, this third sector's importance should not be
underestimated.

      Now we will examine how third lord behaves in other houses.      

      First house: One is mentally and physically courageous with good conduct, followed by
friends in need. Makes money through own efforts and sweat of the brow. But mind you, lagna
lord and third lord should not exchange houses which may lead to khala yoga, which is bad
leading to ups and downs in life. If lagna lord is found in third, mental growth is not full,
education may be restricted, journeys will prove to be troublesome, one may even be tempted to
have a second wife. Relatives will not be cooperative.      
      2nd lord in 3rd. One will be very ambitious, spends money on friends, knows how to deal
with opposite sex. If Mars as 2nd lord is relegated to the 3rd, base qualities of the native will
surface and a thieving tendency is found. But 3rd lord in 2nd makes one lazy and gloomy. One
can take transport business and flourish.      
      3rd lord in 3rd is always good, to give virility and physical strength. The native is admired
as good friend, and encourages good friends. Moon in 3rd makes one a kleptomaniac and creates
mental imbalance. Saturn in 3rd is found to be good for longevity. 3rd is a safe place for
malefics, since it is considered to be one of Upachaya houses (hidden).      
      3rd lord in 4th is good for material prospects, and the mind will also be polished. But the
4th lord in the 3rd is not good for parents, however the native makes a mark for himself by own
efforts, and will be helpful to people other than his own.      
      5th lord in the 3rd is good for relations children. But the 3rd lord in the 5th gives interest in
journeys like picnic spots. There is an activity and pursuits in literary field. Co-borns will be
helpful.      
      3rd lord in 6th, the native will have interest in medical sciences. If afflicted, bad health
through journeys and problems through co-borns. The native having the 6th lord in the 3rd
should not participate in gang fights, nor should he enter trouble spots, because he will be the
first to get injured. He will not be reliable.      
      If the 3rd lord is in the 7th marriages could be among known circles or close relations, but
the result will not be happy. If the 7th lord occupies the 3rd, the native feels always as if he has
lost something in life. They have a helpful attitude towards their relations. A malefic 7th lord
may be inauspicious in the third.      
      3rd lord in 8th is not at all good. This is called Mriti Yoga. There will be no brothers. The
native will be a weakling and enemies will overpower him. 8th lord in 3rd is equally bad. The
person keeps away from relations out of hatred, has an unstable mind, can be morose in
appearance and devoid of certain limb.      
      If the 9th lord is in the 3rd, one will have good spouse and takes care of kith and kin on all
occasions. If both 3rd and 9th are occupied by malefics without any benefic aspect, the right ear
will be defective. 3rd lord in 9th often brings luck through transport business if other features are
favourable.      
      If a native has the 10th lord in the 3rd, we can count upon him. He is duty conscious and
knows his job, but his maternal relationship may suffer. If the 3rd lord occupies the 10th, the
native's avocation mostly depends upon communication, or transportation business.      
      11th lord in 3rd gives good personality and is attached to family members.      
      12th lord in 3rd: There will be limited co-borns. One will be miserly. If it is a malefic one is
either hated by relations or has no relations at all. When the 3rd lord is in the 12th, it makes one
dull headed. If there is exchange of the 3rd and the 12th lord, it is called 'dainya yoga' (Daridra
Yoga). There will be unavoidable expenses on co-borns, and loss in journey etc.       
      People dealing in big business and industries should have a strong 3rd house and well
dignified 3rd lord. Benefics are weak here. However in certain cases like Jupiter in 3rd creates
Vasumati Yoga, conferring wealth. Third also shows the determination of an individual. If 3rd
lord or Mars (exalted or conjoined with benefic) attain a benefic navamsa the native will have
number of brothers. The number of co-borns in some cases will be equal to the number of
navamsas completed by 3rd bhava. There will be loss of brothers, if the lord of the navmsa
tenanted by third lord is relegated to 6th house in neecha or combust To ascertain nature of co-
borns, 3rd house, its lord, Mars and 3rd house from Mars should be studied. Mostly influence of
Venus or Moon on 3rd gives sisters.      
      Malefics find a safe place in the 3rd (being upachaya house). A malefic in the 3rd aspected by
another malefic or 3rd under the papakartari yoga (flanked by two malefics), brothers will not
survive. The relationship between lagna lord and 3rd lord indicate, how far there will be mutual
good relationship between the co-borns. 3rd lord Mars in even signs and even navamsas aspected
by feminine planets, confers sisters.      
      Third house is intimately connected with neck region in our body. The 3rd lord Mercury and
one of Nodes combination or malefic association will invariable create neck pains or even
Cervical Spondilitis. In some cases throat and ear diseases are known. 3rd house represents the
right year. Mercury, Sun and Saturn combination will give ear diseases (either 3rd or 11th house).
A combust 3rd lord will create ear problems. Moon and Mars combination in the 3rd also creates
hearing problems. (Mars causes inflammations). An afflicted 3rd house without benefic aspects
will invariably create some problems in hearing.
