The Houses in an astrology chart represent different facets of your life, based on the time and location of birth, and show the gifts or obstacles you will face in this lifetime.
The third house is also called “The House of Communications” and its motto translates to “brothers” from the Latin term fratres. It relates to the sign of Gemini on a more personal, physical level, and speaks of the insides of our mind. The main thing its positioning describes is the way one thinks and the processes in our heads that lead us in a certain direction. As such, it is extremely important in personal chart analysis, for it gives us the information on a person’s state of mind, just like the first house speaks of the state of one’s body, or the fourth the state of emotions and heart.
Gemini brings intelligence to the Third House. It also influences your ability to absorb knowledge. Mercury is known as the messenger planet, so it governs expression and information processing. It’s no surprise that Mercury and Gemini are the rulers of this House of Communication.
AREAS OF LIFE
The third house is a place of brothers and sisters and all relatives and family members that our genetic material isn’t in closest connection to. It represents our mind, our way of thinking, writing and reasoning, in a way speaking of our human, rational side that makes us more or less smart for practical or less practical issues in life. This is a house greatly influenced by the element of the sign it falls into, as it strongly relates to emotions when it begins in a Water sign, proactive fiery thoughts when in Fire, practical side in Earth, and social contacts in Air signs.
Other than these, the third house is also a house of transportation and active learning through seminars, short educational courses, or certificated trainings. It represents our early education on the elementary school level, intelligence and closely linked ability for happiness and childish joy. It is a place where our neighbors live, and a house of short travel and local trips, hikes, or walks. Among other things, it is our car with all of its characteristics, color and brand, as well as our hiking outdoor equipment. In addition, it will be in sync with technical equipment we often use in our everyday activities, especially if they are means of communication, such as laptops or mobile phones, or any other gadget that we put our hands on.
3RD HOUSE IN GEMINI
The position of the third house in Gemini is the most natural of all positions. It is a blessing in itself, and a person always has a smart approach, clarity in their choice of words, and the same clarity in their mind. In a practical sense, it often speaks of one’s attachment to their sibling, and points out that communication is an important part of a person’s life. Depending on the position and the dignity of Mercury, we can see how challenging or positive their mental world actually is. What people with third house in Gemini often lack is compassion, as well as reason when it comes to practical material issues. More often than not, these individuals need a healthy routine and to build respect for time and their own body in order to truly be satisfied and learn to get in sync with, and speak from their heart.
You’re an original thinker who can easily express yourself. Since Gemini naturally rules this house, you find yourself curious about everything with a deep desire to learn. You’re social and outgoing, so you have no problem communicating. Just watch out for information overload which can make you a little stressed out.
OTHER SIGNS IN THE 3RD HOUSE
Aries in the Third House: You tend to be stubborn and are quick to jump to conclusions, probably because of the fiery energy of this sign. This can make communication a little challenging for you, especially since you should think about the effect your words have on others. Try to be a little more patient and you’ll find it’s easier to interact with people.
Taurus in the Third House: As the sign of the bull, it’s no surprise that if you have Taurus in your Third House, you’re determined to the point of being stubborn. You take your time gathering information, but this just means that you’re able to defend your viewpoints. Cultivate the relationship with your siblings and neighbors since these connections are really important to you.
Cancer in the Third House: You’ve got an active mind and a thirst for knowledge. Unfortunately, this means it’s simple for you to get bored. However, you get along really well with others and you’re a thoughtful communicator. To cope with your busy mind, slow down and relax or meditate.
Leo in the Third House:You’re known for being opinionated and bold. You don’t struggle to express yourself and you have pretty fixed viewpoints on issues. While you feel comfortable with Leo in the Third House, ensure that you don’t force your beliefs on those who are close to you.
Virgo in the Third House: You’re a precise, but persuasive communicator. With Virgo in your Third House, you like to gather all the information you possibly can in order to make rational decisions. You probably feel like you know the answer to everything, but give others a chance to explain their opinions before jumping to conclusions.
Libra in the Third House: You’re an elegant communicator who loves talking with others. As the scales of the zodiac, it’s no surprise that you bring harmony to your interactions. Just be careful that you’re totally respectful of others and that you don’t expect too much from people.
Scorpio in the Third House: You’re seen as mysterious and a bit of a loner. Although you’re witty and easy to talk to, you tend to close off your emotions. This is because Scorpio tends to be a vulnerable sign. Try to become more comfortable with sharing your feelings and avoid making snap judgments of other people.
Sagittarius in the Third House: You’re driven by a philosophical outlook and it’s easy for you to express your ideas. You can be a little too focused on yourself at times, so really work on developing relationships with your family and close friends.
Capricorn in the Third House: You can come across as a little standoffish because you like to think before you speak. Like most Capricorns, you’re disciplined and pragmatic, so you have an analytical communication style. You probably need to work at respecting other people’s viewpoints.
Aquarius in the Third House: You’re well known for your energetic, bold ideas. Aquarius is the quintessential air sign. These are known as the master communicators of the zodiac, so you’re able to share big, progressive ideas about all sorts of subjects, particularly humanitarian topics. Practice patience when communicating, so you don’t dismiss other people’s unique perspectives.
Pisces in the Third House: You’re in touch with your feelings, but you aren’t great at communicating them. Since Pisces is a dream-like water sign, when it’s in your Third House, you may struggle to interpret the world around you. Create a daily routine to help you make sense of your surroundings and enjoy the close relationship you have with siblings or friends.
