Astrool 3rd House in Astrology
The 3rd house of the birth chart: communication, learning, siblings, neighbours and short journeys.
What the 3rd house rules
The 3rd house is the everyday mind: how you speak, write and learn, your siblings and neighbourhood, and short trips. Planets here colour your communication style.

Planets in the 3rd house
A planet in your 3rd house brings its own drive into this area of life: the Sun puts identity here, the Moon emotional need, Venus pleasure and ease, Mars effort and conflict, Jupiter growth, Saturn responsibility and delay. If the house is empty, read it through the sign on its cusp and that sign's ruler.
Transits through the 3rd house
When slow planets move through your 3rd house, its themes come to the front for months or years. You can see which house each planet is crossing today in cosmic weather.
