Ruled by intellectual Mercury, the Third House is thought to be the House of Communication. In Greek Mythology, Hermes (or Mercury in Roman mythology) was the Messenger God. He was fleet footed and agile, delivering messages, keeping watch over the merchants and throwing in a little mischief here and there. In Astrology, intellectual Virgo and loquacious Gemini are ruled by Mercury. We see these mercurial themes echoed in Third House.
Communication Central
The Third House in Astrology is encompasses communication of all kinds. One’s thought process, the way one takes in new information and one’s default style of thinking can all be seen through this house. Knowledge, reading and speaking falls in the realm of the third house. In a natal chart, the planets in found in the Third House and the sign that the third house is in gives clues about how the person will feel about communication. For example, having personal planets, like Venus or the Moon, in your the house can mean themes of communication is of great importance in one’s life. Those born with the Sun in their Third House are likely to be strong communicators. Those with energetic Mars in the Third House might be known for their passionate or brash style of speaking, or may be prone to fighting through words. If one’s Third House is the earthy, pragmatic sign of Taurus, they may learn take information more slowly or thrive with hands-on learning.
