The Third House is commonly referred to as the
House of Communication. In this House, much of
the communication is going on between the
individual and those he or she holds close:
brothers, sisters, as well as neighbors. While
communication here can be both written and
verbal, it also has a conscious quality to it. Think
kindred spirits and mental connectedness. This
serves to highlight the role of intelligence within
the Third House.
Intelligence, as viewed in this realm, is the
analytical ability one possesses within his or her
environment, specifically a basic grasp of things
and a practical sensibility. We use this
intelligence to help us work effectively within our
world and with those in it. The Third House
reminds us that it's okay to use our conscious
skills, as well as a more reflective intelligence, in
order to make our way. A symbiotic relationship
with those we hold close is also part of the plan.
Let's not forget that our minds are powerful, quick,
and dexterous. Some things will be well-thought
out, others nearly automatic. Maximizing our sum
potential is the key.
Early education, effectively teaching us how to
think and communicate, is also covered by the
Third House, as are short trips. Again, the
proximate nature of travel speaks to the intimate
nature of the Third House: those we know well, in
our environment, keeping that environment tight.
Harnessing our intelligence and sharing it
effectively with others is the essence of the Third
House. How do we best state our case with
others, often those we love the most? Will our
actions be true to our environment, and our
planet, for all time? This brings to the fore
emerging forms of intelligence-gathering, such as
computers. Will they make or break
communication as we know it? The questions
posed by the Third House can be answered by
listening to that House: think, process, share.
The Third House is ruled by the Sign Gemini and
the Planet Mercury.
