Aquarius in 3rd House: Original Thoughts and Words
Communication
Their communication style tends to be forward-thinking and objective, focusing on logic, although that isn’t to say that their communication is cold. Their written communication is often lighthearted, humorous and frequently laced with lots of funny emoticons, or it could be factual, and to the point. Like most people, their tone and style changes depending on their mood and who they’re corresponding with.
On the other hand, they might have their own, totally unique way of communicating. Sometimes it’s very different from the norm, especially if Aquarius or Gemini is prominent in their chart. They tend to be especially bubbly and enjoy cracking jokes and sending funny memes and videos to friends.
In group settings, they often gravitate toward discussions. They relish the opportunity to share their thoughts with a diverse array of people and engage in collaborative endeavors.
During informal conversation, like those at a party, they can suddenly jump from one subject to the next. This tendency stems from their penchant for exploring lots of different topics. While this makes them exciting and engaging to talk to, it can also be a little confusing at times!
I have a friend with this placement who is mildly eccentric — but in the best way possible. She’s talented at bridging the gap between two totally different subjects with ease. Just the other day, as we were planning a lovely picnic on picturesque grounds, she suddenly started talking about the remarkable strength of ants and how they’d make good use of our leftover crumbs…
Sometimes it can be challenging to predict what they’ll say or how they’ll react to new information. These people seem to have a strong proclivity for delivering humor through witty and unexpected remarks which, I think, adds a delightful element of amusement to their conversations.
Thought Processes
These individuals often have a strong inclination toward intellectual exploration and innovative thinking. They aren’t afraid to go against the grain and practice free-thinking. They’re typically open-minded, progressive, and drawn to unconventional ideas and technologies.
They’re keenly interested in social justice, equality for all, humanitarian causes, and global issues. Some may see them as a bit idealistic but oftentimes, the points they make are impressive and eye-opening. They like to push the boundaries of conventional thinking and explore topics that others might find unusual.
While Aquarius is known for its open-mindedness, it is also a fixed sign so it can occasionally become fixated on certain ideas and struggle to let them go. This can be both a strength and a challenge. On the positive side, it allows them to advocate passionately for their beliefs and drive change in the areas they’re interested in.
On the downside, however, their attachment to some ideas may make them resistant to different perspectives or make them slow to adapt to new information. In such cases, they might find it challenging to accept that their ideas may need to be revised in the face of evolving circumstances. Being a lunar Aquarian, I can relate to this!
As they’re innovative thinkers, they often think of new inventions — or at least ways to improve current things. Leonardo Da Vinci, frequently hailed as one of the greatest inventors of all time, had this placement. Many of these people tend to pursue careers in scientific and technological fields, or they may opt for entrepreneurial ventures that provide them with opportunities to explore and develop innovative concepts.
Additionally, they tend to be drawn to the weird and wonderful so they may be keen on subjects like numerology, reiki, palmistry, hypnosis, tarot, herbalism and astrology. In fact, according to astrotheme.com, Nicholas Campion — one of the world’s most well known astrologers — (I’ve read nearly everything he’s published) has Aquarius in the 4th.
Siblings
Sibling relationships may be characterized by a sense of independence and individuality with unique and sometimes unconventional dynamics. For example, a sibling might choose a career path that’s totally different from the rest of the family. If they were expected to become a high ranking professional but decided instead to become a pet groomer, this could spark discussions within the family as they navigate this very different choice.
Whatever their sibling is like, they are intelligent and perfectly capable of navigating the world and making a good life for themselves. They’re probably top conversationalists and love engaging in thought-provoking discussions and collaborative problem-solving. They may inspire each other to think both creatively and critically.
On the other hand, their siblings could lead unconventional lifestyles and/or frequently disagree with their family members. The proverbial ‘black sheep’ springs to mind here…
There might be a geographical separation between them without any animosity at all. They could simply lead separate lives due to physical distance, growing apart naturally as adults, or having vastly different lifestyles, values and ideologies.
Neighbors
Their neighbors may have rather strange ideas about things and demonstrate odd and/or unpredictable behavior. Tension may frequently arise between them. A cousin of mine has this placement. Her neighbour, despite being in his 30s, is positively hermetic. He only seems to emerge to shout at her for various unwarranted reasons like drying her bikini on her balcony. This is in the suburbs of Athens, Greece, which makes it all the more bizarre because communities are tight knit there.
On the other hand, they could be super friendly and helpful with their neighbours and have really positive and friendly relationships with them. They may be the first to attend to any neighbors in need. Being naturally interested in people, they could enjoy organizing neighbourhood activities and have a home that is frequently busy with all sorts of interesting people.
They might also follow an unconventional lifestyle of some kind. Perhaps they’re a goth, hipster, new ager, or polyamorous. Or maybe their lifestyle is particularly nomadic and free-wheeling. For instance, they could be a travelling digital nomad living the laptop lifestyle dream. Whatever their neighbors are like, they’re just different from the norm in some form or fashion.
Short Journeys and Transportation
Short trips for social or networking purposes are common for these individuals. They travel to meet friends, family, and professional contacts, maintaining connections and creating collaborations. Their trips often involve stimulating conversations and idea-sharing.
They’re especially fond of brief, spontaneous adventures just for a change of scenery and to learn something new.
Their personal vehicle, if they have one, is probably a bit quirky. Maybe it’s always a mess inside, reflecting the myriad of thoughts they constantly have, or it could just be an unorthodox color or shape. Whatever it is, it’s unlikely to be flashy. And if it is expensive, it’ll be because of their love of futurism or because it reflects an original part of them, like an affinity for speed or lime green, for example.
Immediate Environment
These people need to live somewhere that stimulates them mentally. Their home and work place must allow them to think freely and they also need to have just the right amount of action; too little bores them but too much might throw them off kilter.
Having somewhere they can tinker with things like a workshop, craft room, ‘man-cave’ or ‘she den’ should help them explore their interests and create things. It would also give them some physical space away from others so that they can sit, think and ponder — which they love doing.
Like most people, no matter what their chart looks like, they enjoy entertaining. And their parties include guests from all walks of life because they like to mix with different types of people to keep life interesting.
Early Education
Their early years were especially mentally engaging. They could have been seen by their teachers as exceptionally intelligent because they would pick information up very quickly and the quality of their work was usually top notch. Staff at their school, from headteacher to janitor, found them very friendly, even if they were a bit eccentric. They probably made friends with ease but they may have been a part of several different friend groups.
Some may have rebelled against their curriculum, teachers, and school rules, however, it’s essentially this sign’s job to rattle the status quo in order to make things better. They may have not known that when they were young but perhaps some changes were made as a result of them making pointing out things that didn’t make sense or were ineffective.
Technology
Aquarius is strongly associated with modern tech so these people are likely to be interested in today’s — and tomorrow’s — technology. They probably have a subscription to Wired magazine and other tech magazines and blogs and closely follow the release of new tech. Future tech fascinates them the most and they feel compelled to try out the latest gadgets, which may make them feel as if they’re already living in the future.
I have a friend with this placement and she was the first person I know to buy the Apple Vision Pro headset despite its whopping price tag. Although, I suppose as a software engineer with a six figure salary, she can afford to spend thousands on software, gadgets and gizmos every year!
Tech that’s also different or esoteric in some way also interests them. For example, astro and tarot apps are popular with them. My friend who has this placement is fascinated by space and the concept of star seeds. She has a high-powered telescope at home and several extraordinary apps on her smartphone that allow her to view our galaxy and track the movement of the stars.
Science is also popular with these people. Even if their career is in a very different field, they might follow the latest scientific breakthroughs, especially those in the fields of Biology and Physics. Advancements in medicine delight and intrigue them as they enjoy seeing humanity progress.
Manual Skills
These people enjoy taking things apart just to see how they work. Sure, they’ll put them back together again most of the time, but they like to find ways to improve them. They like knowing how things — and people, tick. They tend to be very hands-on with whatever they do and make excellent DIYers, engineers, mechanics, and builders.
Up-cycling or repairing things could be favorite pastimes of theirs. Finding new uses for old or discarded stuff shows their ability to think outside the box and transform objects. For example, a tired wooden table might spark their creative ingenuity, leading to the transformation of it into a stunning set of chairs!
They also like trying out new techniques and methods, which can lead to creative problem-solving in hands-on endeavors in scientific settings. Conducting scientific experiments, lab work and hands on scientific research my also appeal to them.
