3rd House
Astrology speaks of the third house as that of brothers and sisters, and close relatives. It actually means the earliest newborn environment and of one’s grown relationship to it. The relationship of the child to his/her environment is basic and substantial in the formation of his/her character, and of responses to life. The third house refers to the early environment and to persons who acted within it – close relatives, guardians, siblings, etc. It also shows in the child “coming to terms” which is at first entirely unconscious and instinctual, later becoming the foundation for human intelligence, and consciousness.
