The lord of the 3rd house in the houses of the horoscope

The ruler of the 3rd house in the 1st house

“Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra” (chapter 26): If the ruler of the 3rd bhava is placed in the Lagna, then the native will earn wealth himself, by his own efforts, he will be inclined towards service, will be courageous and intelligent, although devoid of education.

Comments: The 3rd bhava is the bhava [house] of courage and boldness. The 3rd bhava gives concrete form to what we plan to do or to accomplish. The intention to do something makes us bold, inclined to serve and to earn wealth by our own efforts. If the ruler of the 3rd bhava is in the Lagna, these qualities will be reflected in the nature of the native.

The 3rd house “goes to the person”: the personality itself will be formed under the influence of creative abilities — usually very creative personalities, and this “catches the eye” in conversation (an actor, an artist); the personality itself will be formed under the influence of brothers or sisters (both in the positive and in the negative sense). One’s own efforts become part of the body, the use of the body and of physical effort in order to achieve success. A very sociable person; communication is his life in all spheres (family, work and so on) (Kapiel Raaj)

Talent and, possibly, a career in music, dance or drama. The person lives and earns by his own efforts. On the whole this position is unfavourable for health and for the other significations of the 1st house, however the person will be very brave. (James Braha)

Communication and learning in your everyday surroundings help you to form your personality. Your writing, stories, singing, gossip, everyday reflections and notes can be interesting to those around only if they are interesting, first and foremost, to you yourself. The first thing other people notice in you is your skills as a storyteller. The connections you create every day feed your personality with information and form your view of life. Your circle of communication, your awareness and knowledge influence your image. You are talkative. Your ability to communicate influences your own feelings about yourself. (Marion March, Joan McEvers)

Tall, thin, unhealthy, bold, courageous, with a hot temperament, sensual, obtains his means of subsistence by strenuous labour, not very friendly disposed towards people, vindictive. He is knowledgeable about music and the theatre. If the planet is well placed in the horoscope, the person builds up a fortune himself and is reputed to be an expert in the field of music, dance and acting. (Shri G.S. Agarwal)

The ruler of the 3rd house in the 2nd house

“Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra” (chapter 26): If the ruler of the 3rd bhava occupies the 2nd bhava, then the native will be portly (stout), devoid of courage, uninitiative, unhappy, and will look at other men’s wives and other people’s wealth”.

Comments: With the Simha [Leo] Lagna Shukra [Venus], being the ruler of the 10th and 3rd bhavas, becomes the ruler of profession and efforts. Therefore, despite its presence in a rashi [sign] of debilitation, it will in the end give happiness from wealth. If it is in conjunction with a benefic graha, then such a result will be quite definite.

Constant efforts in obtaining means; the person will not obtain wealth without strenuous work, small difficulties in family life. This position is unfavourable for relations with brothers (sisters), although they may somehow help in earning money. (James Braha)

• all efforts are directed at obtaining money and providing for one’s family

• work with the hands, especially creative — journalists, writers, artists, salespeople, businessmen,

• income by means of making a personal impression on people (Kapiel Raaj)

The lord of the 3rd house in the 2nd house: if it is a malefic planet, then the person is indifferent to his kin and those close to him; if a favourable one — he is greedy for other people’s property and women, comes into conflict with the state authorities, is not troubled by pangs of conscience, is inclined to stoutness, unhappy. (Shri G.S. Agarwal)

The ruler of the 3rd house in the 3rd house

BPHS chapter 26: If the ruler of the 3—rd bhava occupies the 3rd bhava, then the native will be gifted with happiness from brothers <and sisters>, he will have wealth and sons, he will be cheerful, brisk and very happy.

The planet is in svakshetra (its own house). Happiness from brothers and sisters, prosperous relatives, good hearing, many adventures, talent in music, dance or drama. Desires are fulfilled with minimal effort. A good voice, sociability, a literary talent, a career in the media is possible.

Bravery, valour, a firm and steadfast personality. Vitality, mobility and initiative. A multitude of short trips. (James Braha).

• Boldness;
• “Clever hands” — he does everything with his hands;
• Sport in which the hands are involved;
• Satisfied and full of strength regarding the state of his skills;
• Sociable; the circle of communication of the 3rd house (close communication) is the source of information about the surrounding world;
• A charismatic communicator and salesman or a chatterbox (in the good sense — a journalist) (Kapiel Raaj)

The lord of the 3rd house in the 3rd house: brave, courageous, physically strong, brisk, well provided for, content with life and very happy. He has a lucrative state post, a multitude of good friends, good children, enjoys popularity, takes part in public affairs. A dual sign promises financial success. (Shri G.S. Agarwal)

If the ruler of the 3rd house is Mercury, then it will be very difficult to keep information — Mercury simply “has to share it”. As is well known, “women keep secrets collectively” ????

Benjamin Franklin, whose portrait is depicted on the hundred-dollar bill, became famous, besides that, for his numerous aphorisms. One of his aphorisms goes like this: “If you want to learn about a girl’s bad qualities, praise her in front of her friends. They will tell you everything. They will conceal nothing”.

In the presence of a conjunction with an unfavourable planet a marriage with an extremely unpleasant woman is possible. (Shri G.S. Agarwal)

Fairly wealthy, cowardly; the younger brother is a serviceman or a doctor. (Shri G.S. Agarwal)
