Astrological House Number:3 Keywords: I think: Awareness: Positive or Negative thinking: Short trips: Education. In your natal chart any planets here help or hinder the following information: Planets or aspects to the 3rd bring all of the above (and more) into focus. The sign on the cusp (or, more precisely the element of the sign) will give you an idea as to how think. For example a Fire sign on the cusp of the 3rd would 'think' differently than a Water sign. Also, the sign on the cusp will tell you how you 'hear' information from the world around you, from your environment. This house also shows your relationship with siblings (not the actual people) but your relationship with them. Any planets here (particularly Saturn) offer information about whether brothers and sisters are close or at a distance. Short distance travel is also shown by this house (sometimes even the preference or mode of transport) for example: Fire signs prefer road travel. Earth signs prefer rail. Air signs obviously prefer (or fear) air travel and the Water signs have a preference for water journeys. Formal education (or the lack thereof) is shown here therefore questions of schooling (particularly primary) will come to the surface. Look to the sign on the cusp and any planets here to understand the 'early, formative' years.How we think about ourselves and the world in which we live is constantly changing by the people we meet, the newspapers we read, the television programmes we watch (all of which is 'ruled' by the 3rd house). Keeping in mind that we are constantly creating an image of ourselves (good or bad) according to what we focus our mind upon. Even the people you meet at the bus stop can change your thinking dramatically or, when you're on a 'short trip' the stimulus from a different environment can alter your thinking as can reading a good or uplifting book (taking a short trip into your mind). This is the house of the conscious mind and it is here that you look for or, examine all closely related factors in your life, look for connections.
