3rd House

My favorite house; the House of Communication. All things cerebral are governed by the 3rd house; intellect, communication style, thought processes, and thinking patterns. This may also extend to wit and humor, although different astrologers have different ideas about that. It is essentially the house of the mind and all its inner workings. It’s viewed as a lighthearted house and an especially important house as the human mind is what allows our species to connect with each other. It’s also what sets us apart from one another; it creates our individual natures.

In addition to the mind, this house governs siblings, neighbors, transportation, early learning, and short trips. So, it’s a versatile house, just like cheerful, clever, and quick witted Gemini; the sign of the twins which rules this intellectual house.

Those with a 3rd house devoid of planets should simply take more time to examine the sign on the cusp of it. The sign alone reveals a substantial amount of information.
