THE THIRD HOUSE

CYCLICAL MEANING
From a cyclical point of view, this house
represents a time of opening up and
exploring. Several possibilities and
experiences are opening up. It is a time to
open up to learn, circulate, gather
information. It is a time to do several things
at the same time, divergent and very different
ideas emerge, there could be short trips,
transfers, etc.

There is interest in studying, exploring new

things. Issues may arise with communication,
siblings, neighbours, relationships that we do
not choose.

ASTROLOGICAL DESCRIPTION
- This is a cadent house, the energy is preparing to change direction in the next stage.
- This house shows the primary environment in which a person lives, what is “at hand”: the
neighbourhood, neighbours, siblings, classmates, the bakery, the corner shop, etc. Learning to deal
with daily life.
- Communication: experiences related to communication, speaking, writing. How we communicate,
express ourselves and interact on a daily basis. Topics such as writing, news, networks, circulation of
information.
- Short travels. Means of transport. Daily trips.
- The mind: this house shows the mind’s adaptability to learning, incorporating new ideas. It is the
lower mind as opposed to the higher mind (which is the 9th house). It will reveal mental abilities and
experiences related to learning and communication. It indicates the objective and conscious part of
the mind. The early school years. Performance in the most basic studies: difficulties and abilities.
The type of mind, be it artistic, business-like, scientific, intuitive, etc. For example an earth sign on
the cusp of this house could speak of a more concrete mind. A water sign would indicate a more
psychic, intuitive mind.
- Means of communication: telephone, internet, newspaper, etc.
- Means of transport: car, motorcycle, bus, etc.
- The third house’s fear: to not be able to communicate, to not be understood, the inability to learn,
experience, to relate with my peers.

PLANETS AND SIGNS IN THE HOUSE

A planet in the 3rd house will tell us about how the person communicates, interacts with others,
thinks, learns, associates with their immediate environment, etc.

The sign on the cusp of the 3rd house will indicate the basic attitude that the person must have
towards themes related to relationships, to the mental sphere, to exploration in general. The planet
that rules the sign and the planets placed here will indicate to us the type of activities through which
this basic attitude must be externalised. It is also common to project the planets we have in a
relationship house, like the 3rd house, onto other people, in this case onto siblings, neighbours, etc.

Examples of planets in the third house:

Mars in the 3rd house: this can bring discord between one’s siblings or some kind of competition
with them. There is a strong need to communicate ideas that one has empathically and
energetically. Communication can be very direct, sometimes a little aggressive. These characteristics
of aggression can be projected onto a sibling, neighbour, someone in the immediate environment.
Tendency to accidents in the street, during short trips, etc.

Neptune in the 3rd house: this can indicate someone with an imaginative, intuitive, mystical mind.
The person could be a very creative writer, especially poetry, fiction, etc. Concrete and linear
thought could be difficult, there may be difficulty with learning due to the tendency to daydream
and assimilate information differently: more intuitively than rationally. There could be a sibling with
Neptunian characteristics: very sensitive, intuitive or negatively: a liar, alcoholic, scammer. It’s an
excellent position for filmmakers, scriptwriters, etc. If this position is channelled negatively it could
mean someone who has the ability to envelop others with their words and trick them.

Capricorn in the 3rd house: concrete and practical thinking. The mind is pragmatic. The environment
during childhood (school, neighbourhood) could have been a bit difficult as there was a lot of
homework and responsibilities, especially with brothers and sisters. Taking on a role of responsibility
with siblings. Saturn’s position by sign and house would complete our interpretation of the 3rd
house.

Aquarius in the 3rd house: a unique and individual way of communicating. The mind is creative,
original, different. There is a tendency to connect with very different, unique, original people. There
are usually many friends who are very different. The person could get bored in school, they have a
quick mind that processes information very differently to how they are usually taught in their early
years. This could bring some difficulty when it comes to relating to the primary environment.

DERIVED MEANINGS
- My friends’ children (5th house from the 11th).
- My children’s friends (11th house from the 5th).
- My spouse’s philosophies, beliefs, long journeys (9th house from the 7th).
