In a Vedic horoscope there are 12 bhavas/houses, and each house is associated with certain events of a human life. Each house speaks only about a set of events, and it only signifies that event of our life through that house of our Vedic horoscope.
Vedic Astrology uses Ascendant & Moon Sign for accurate predictions. If you are not aware of either, you can FIND OUT INSTANTLY through the form below. The details required are essential to determine your Ascendant & Moon Sign.
- The 3rd house in Astrology represents overall learning, communication, and intellect.
- The 3rd house is ruled by the planet Mercury, which is known for its communication and intellectual abilities. The position of Mercury in the third house can significantly impact a person's communication skills, mental agility, and ability to learn and absorb knowledge. You may also have a sharp wit and a talent for writing and speaking.
- The 3rd house is also related to short journeys and travels, such as travel within the local area. Planets placed in the third house can indicate the frequency and nature of short trips the individual is likely to undertake. It can also suggest whether these journeys will be pleasurable or stressful.
- In Vedic Astrology, the 3rd house is also considered a 'dusthana' or 'malefic' house, which means that the planets placed in the third house can have a challenging influence. For example, malefic planets in the third house can indicate conflict, challenges, obstacles in communication, sibling relationships, or short journeys.
Third house in birth horoscope
- Communication, transportation, and local community are all governed by the third house. Planets placed in this house are motivated by expression and often help guide you to build close relationships with your peers, including siblings, coworkers, and classmates. Communication is the solution to most problems, and the basis of all successful relationships. When planets transit the Third house, we often receive important information about our immediate network.
- In Vedic Astrology, the 3rd house is said to signify communication, siblings, originality, cognitive intelligence, one’s area of interest, routines, and preferences. The 3rd house focuses mainly on how your mind works and its cognitive patterns. It also indicates your relationship with your siblings, relatives, and neighbors. It gives a clear insight into how your behavior and thought process. The 3rd house in Astrology also depicts one’s intellect and other cognitive abilities.
- Professions that relate to communication, like journalism, writing, media, advertising, marketing, event planning, etc. are part of the realm of the 3rd house in Astrology, all of these professions being under the domain of Mercury. The third house in Vedic Astrology manages articulated expression and one’s preferences, thus a favorable placement in this house and of the third house lord can enkindle artists, singers, authors, and so on.
- It also governs transportation and early education. The Third House rules what you know about your surroundings— this includes information / knowledge gained through travels. Since you learn so much as a child and you practice expressing yourself, this house also rules early education.
- The third house is a place of brothers and sisters and all relatives and family members that our genetic material isn’t in closest connection to. It represents our mind, our way of thinking, writing, and reasoning, in a way speaking of our human, rational side that makes us smart for practical or less practical in the issues of life.
- This is a house greatly influenced by the element of the sign it falls into, as it strongly relates to emotions when it begins in a Water sign, proactive fiery thoughts when in Fire, practical side in Earth, and social contacts in Air signs.
3rd House in Time-based Astrology:
- The third house indicates siblings, short-distance journeys, strength, and change. Mars is the significator of the third house in the birth-chart. General rules of Vedic Astrology apply to this house.
- In the Prashna Kundali, the third house gives accurate answers to all the questions it serves as the Karya Bhava for. Let us understand it through one example: Suppose you want to know about your relationship with your siblings. The Astrologer will create the Prashna Kundali based on this question. As the relation of prashna is with the siblings, therefore, the third house will serve as the Karya Bhava and its Lord as Karyesha. Here, we will see the relations/associations between Lagnesh and karyesh to know the outcome of the query. However, here Mars is also the Karaka of younger siblings, and it will also have its influence.
- If the Ascendant/Ascendant lord, third house/third lord and Mars are auspicious and located in a strong position, you will share a good relationship with your siblings. Your relationship will become stronger as the houses and planets in the birth-chart are strong. If these houses and planets are in debilitated and weak position, then they may affect your relationship with your siblings. If your Lagnesh happens to be Mars itself, it is considered benefic.
- We can obtain the answers to other questions related to this house through the same method. The question must be related to the house and its significance. The third house significations will play here. The significance of the third house is short distance travels, constant change or transfers, art & craft. The same rule will be followed for questions for short-distance journeys or change.
- If Moon aspects the third house or third Lord, then your journey will be successful. The aspect of the Moon in this concern is very important because it increases the chances of success of your journey.
