Transportation, communication, and local community are all governed by the Third house in astrology.

According to an article in Allure, “Natal planets in the Third House are motivated by expression and often help guide you to build close relationships with their peers, including siblings, coworkers, and classmates.”

As good communication is often considered a solution to many conflicts, the Third House is valued and holds a high importance.

When the planets transit the Third House, we often receive messages about the immediate network of people in our life.

Which sign’s energy does the 3rd house correspond with?

Strong communication and ability to adapt are often the trains that come to mind when thinking of Geminis.

Therefore it is no surprise that the Third House is often thought of as having Gemini energy.

Geminis are often thought to be the social butterflies of the zodiac, and although they are intrinsically dual they are not to be mistaken as being two-faced.

What does having the 3rd house in my sign mean?

Having the Third House in your astrological sign will mean different things as each sign is different.

There are 12 signs in the zodiac but here are just a few signs and what the Third House means in each one:

• Third House in Gemini means that communication is an important part of this person’s life and can speak to their relationship with their siblings.
• Third House in Leo can mean that thoughts are often focused on one’s self and can bring ego challenges.
• Third House in Cancer speaks to inherited intelligence and can go both positive or negative in that regard.
• Third House in Capricorn can signify a tough person who must remain connected to their emotions or becoming too cold can be a negative side effect.

The main takeaway, whatever your sign may be, is that the Third House depicts what is going on in our minds in regards to the way we think and process information.
