third house
/θɜːrd haʊs/
The 3rd House is the area of the astrological chart that governs communication, learning, and the immediate physical and social environment.
Also known as the House of Communication, this cadent house reflects how an individual perceives and transmits information. It encompasses local travel, siblings, and the basic education received during the formative years of life. Astrologers look to the planets in this house and the sign on its cusp to understand a person’s cognitive habits and their typical modes of verbal or written expression. This section of the chart illustrates the daily interactions and mental connections that link an individual to their community.
