What the 3rd house is about

The 3rd house governs how you think, talk and take in your immediate world. Traditionally associated with communication, thinking, learning, siblings, short trips, the local, curiosity, it's the part of the chart that colours mind & communication. Wherever a planet or sign falls in your 3rd house, that energy tends to express itself through this area of life.
