Third House: Setting and Significations
Just like the Zodiac signs, there are twelve houses in an astrological chart. In this series of posts about the different parts of astrology, I will gather my research on the significations of each of the twelve houses.
In this post, I will focus on the third house.
[I will add to this post when I broaden and deepen my knowledge of this house, and make new observations concerning it.]

Setting and Significations
The third house is the first house that has several different kinds of significations. However, it basically boils down to what’s close by, especially in childhood and early formative years. Basically, we learn how to communicate by copying our siblings, cousins, or through the early education or primary learning we’re taking part in. Our communication is also affected by the local environment we live in, the neighbors we have, and the other kids and/or role models that are around us.
Of course, as we continue to grow up and become adults, our communication, immediate environment, and relationships with our siblings and extended family change and evolve. Planets in this house can show how you deal with all of this, whether you found/find these significations a struggle, a breeze, or anything in between.
