The lord of the 5th house in the 3rd house of the horoscope
BPHS: In the case where the ruler of the 5th bhava is placed in the 3rd bhava, the native will be betrayed by his brothers <and sisters>, will be a gossip, will be miserly and will always be interested in his own work.
Comments:
If the ruler of the 5th bhava [house] is placed in the 3rd house, then the person will study drawing, painting, military science, physics, engineering and journalism. All these disciplines are capacities of the 3rd bhava. The carrying of news from one place to another is also a result of this bhava. Therefore the native, in the absence of a journalist’s education, becomes a gossip or a chatterbox. Some experienced astrologers translate the phrase “interested in his own work” as “self-loving” or “egoistic”. But the meaning “interested in his own work” would be more fitting: the 3rd bhava is the bhava of courage and effort. Therefore the native will always be thinking about doing something. This should not be called egoism.
Quite excellent results will occur with the Mina [Pisces] Lagna (the Moon exalted in the 3rd house) and Makara [Capricorn] (Venus exalted in the 3rd house).
A native with the Vrishchika [Scorpio] Lagna will not be close to his brothers. On the contrary, he is forced to endure some troubles because of his brothers. A combination causing the loss of wealth is also formed, because the ruler of the 5th bhava (Jupiter), placed in the 3rd bhava, will with this Lagna fall into its rashi [sign] of debilitation (into Capricorn).

Benefics on the whole feel good in the 5th house and give good fruits; malefics (in the case where they are not exalted and not in their own signs) force one to “pay the bills in full” — purva punya (the totality of a person’s piety). The 5th house is the 3rd from the 3rd, it is the higher expression and manifestation of the 3rd house — the house of creativity and of the chief creative efforts. The opportunity for education, the way to find oneself in life comes through creativity and communication. Very often people with such a position study and engage in that towards which they truly have “an inclination of the soul”, which they regard with love and enthusiasm, and which they do with joy.
The 3rd house is the hands and work with the hands. Such people are usually already born with some talents (to draw, to write, to sew, to knit, to cook, to repair something). They are especially good writers if Me is involved.
The 5th house is the house of what a person loves. It does not matter what kind of activity the person will engage in, but it will be decisive for him that this work, this occupation be creative and bring him satisfaction. Whatever such a person does, he will approach it creatively and never routinely and mechanically. Kapiel Raaj
