The Moon in the 3rd house of the solar return

The Moon in the 3rd house of the solar return gives a lively, sociable year with frequent trips and new contacts. Curiosity and the wish to try new things grow.

The third house of the annual chart is connected with effort, short trips, neighbours, brothers and sisters, communication and skills. The Moon here makes life dynamic: more correspondence, meetings and trips, more interest in study and hobbies. It is a good year for writing, media, trade and learning new skills.

Scattered attention is the main difficulty: there are many interests and fewer things carried through to the end. Setting small, measurable goals is the best way to use the Moon's energy.

Strength of the placement in the annual chart

The third house is one of the houses of growth, and the Moon here bears fruit over time. It is especially good if the Moon is waxing and receives an aspect from Mercury or Jupiter; a weak Moon makes the mood unstable. In the annual chart Tajika aspects are taken into account: friendly aspects strengthen the benefic sides of the placement, tense ones make them less stable.
