Natural home of: Gemini
Natural ruler: Mercury
Type: Cadent
Governs: Communication, mental functioning, short-term transportation, siblings
The third house represents your means of communication, the way your lower mind and day-to-day mental functioning work, your brothers and sisters, your early education, and short-term trips and modes of transportation. With a sociable sign like Gemini or Libra on the cusp, you may be outgoing and chatty (depending on other factors, of course); with an introspective sign like Virgo or Scorpio, you may be more shy or reticent. Planets in this house may have an outgoing, verbal Gemini quality and it may be important -- or, depending on aspects, difficult -- for you to communicate the urges represented by those planets. Or you may direct some of the energy of these planets toward siblings.
