The Third House corresponds to the sign of Gemini, so it shows your style
of communications, "short" trips (not requiring an overnight stay), brothers and
sisters, and everything in your immediate environment, including neighbors.
The Sun in
the Third House: Well, the Sun shows where you
want attention and admiration, and in the third house, that means through your
communications. This placement makes a person a little bit hyper (like a Gemini) always
seeming to be in motion and increasing the need for sensory stimuli. If there are
siblings, at least one will tend to be an attention-getting show-off.
The Moon in
the Third House: No need to worry about
keeping emotions bottled up with this one. In fact, the problem may be to "keep a lid
on it". Emotions (Moon) will get communicated (third house). On the plus side, you
always know where this person is coming from, and imagination is increased. If there are
siblings, at least one will be a highly emotional type. No need to worry about

Mercury in
the Third House: Mercury is at home here (the
planet of communications in the house of communications). The tendency is to increase
communication skills across the board. Unless there are stressful aspects (see the section
on aspects) someone with this placement probably did very well in school and stands a good
chance of excelling in any area requiring good verbal or writing skills. If there are
siblings, at least one may be a non-stop talker. Mercury is at home here (the

Venus in the
Third House: Charming speech and, if there are
any siblings, at least one will be a charmer as well, or will be involved with some Venus
area (art, beauty products, public relations).
Mars in the
Third House: The phrase "Tell it like it
is" was made for this one. Communications are direct and to the point, with no time
wasted. After all, Mars wants to get on to the next battle. The mind literally never rests
with this position of Mars. Clients with third house Mars have told me that at times, they
wish they could put their brain in a jar of water at night so that their body could get a
good night’s sleep while their brain was busy chugging away in the jar. If there are
siblings, at least one will be on the aggressive side.
Jupiter in
the Third House: One drawback here is that, if
you are ever depressed, no one will believe you because your communications SOUND so
cheerful. Speech flows freely, sometimes too freely. Learn not to tell people too much. If
the rest of the horoscope doesn’t back up this placement, then there will be a
tendency to talk big and not deliver. Jupiter does have its perils. Still, communications
tend to be optimistic (take care not to gloss over or ignore difficulties) and relations
with siblings good.
Saturn in
the Third House: Communications tend to be
cautious and restrained. This placement may actually indicate some sort of speech
impediment, at least in youth. Communications tend to be important, too important. This
can easily cause a dislike of small talk, and a fear of saying the wrong thing so that the
person with this placement winds up saying nothing at all. The mind inclines to be too
serious. These folks are the kind who will sit by themselves at a party and think
"How can I be here having fun when I have all this serious work to do?". Lighten
up. You’ll be healthier. Still, the mind is constructive and organized, even if it
tends to be a bit slow (haste makes waste). If there are siblings, the older ones were
more likely to pick on you, and the younger ones were probably a burden (perhaps you had
to take care of them).
Uranus in
the Third House: People with this tend to say
and write shocking, socially unacceptable things. They may be insightful and brilliant,
but people will feel as if they have just gotten an electric shock. If there are siblings,
at least one will be highly independent and original, or a crazy eccentric.
Neptune in
the Third House: Well the imagination is good,
but, if you have this one, don’t be an accountant. The books may not balance. Neptune
here is excellent for anything artistic, though, especially poetry or fiction writing.
Check out your career house (house ten) before making any career decisions based on this
placement. You have the ability to paint pictures with words, but not to communicate the
details of the real world. If there are siblings, at least one will be a spacey, dreamy
type, or (if afflicted) will tend to have a substance abuse problem.
Pluto in the
Third House: Your words can heal or kill. This
placement gives your communications great power. It’s a great one to have if you are
a therapist or salesperson, or an advertising copywriter whose words can influence
millions. Words just seem to have extra power when you say them. Relations with siblings
and neighbors will never be dull. I love you or I hate you, nothing in between.
