astrological houses
3rd house
words, siblings and the near world
- communication
- learning
- neighbors
the 3rd house is the neighborhood of the chart: the way you talk, write, learn and move around every day. it holds siblings, cousins, neighbors and the people you see all the time. it shows how your mind works up close, with small trips and daily conversations. planets here tend to make you curious or restless.
what the houses are
the houses split your sky into 12 areas of life — body, money, home, love, work and so on. they're set by the exact time and place you were born, so two people born on the same day can have very different houses. a planet in a house shows where that energy tends to show up most.
