The 3rd house is Upachaya Bhav. And the planets associated with this house give results in the later phase of life. The most important feature of the 3rd house is the means of communication. Let’s understand the term communication at a broader level.

The various modes of communication include the post office, telephone landline, and your mobile phone. This also includes radio, T.V. channels, and journalism. And then all social media channels like youtube, all mobile applications, websites, and even web series.

When we interact with others, we are actually exchanging information. And at the same time making presentations of our viewpoint. So all our interactions that include commissions and documentations come under this category.

Bhavat Bhavam

The 3rd house is 2nd from 2nd house. This is called Bhaavat Bhavam as per classics. Now the meaning of this concept is house to house.

Here 2nd from 2nd means the monetary increase from investing wealth into one’s reserve. Therefore it adds to your resources, wealth, and your share in the family assets.

Now 3rd house is also 8th from 8th. And 8th house is sudden events, pain, and even transformation. This explains your strength and spirit in things related to the transformations indicated by the 8th house.

1st House Lord in 3rd House

If 1st house lord is posited in 3rd house then your whole life focus will be shifted in initiating efforts, planning things, making presentations, and working on skills.

And 3rd house is governed by the Gemini sign, ruled by Mercury. Gemini signifies every kind of information, it can be either verbal or written.

So all mercury significations like analytic thinking, various enthusiasm, information, duality, and youthfulness of mind become the main essence of one’s life.

Now this person will make his identity in life through 3rd house activities. This also involves relation with neighbors, siblings, and society. Then the 3rd house is movement, so here if the 1st lord is running then character-change, and short-distance travel can be foreseen.

Upachaya Bhava

The 3rd house is also called Upaachaya bhav. So whichever planet is connected with the Upachaya house, that house gets more beneficial along with time.

Now here 1st house lord is in 3rd house, so the self will get recognition, as the time passes. Now the 3rd house presents constant efforts so if one puts tremendous effort in starting the project, puts his whole time, money energy, and soul. So after a certain time, the seeds once sown, grow into a fruit tree.

The body parts signified by the 3rd house are shoulders, arms, and hands. And in my view sportsman has a strong 3rd house, probably they use hands and arms. Plus energy and skill in making their recognition in the sports career.

The effect of the 9 planets will be completely different in the 2nd house. So 12 ascendants or Lagna will have different 3rd houses. I will explain using sign, element, and planet significance.

Below is the complete detail to understand the effects of 9 planets in the 3rdd house for 12 Lagna or Ascendant.

Aries Lagna – Mars in 3rd House

Malefic planets give good results in Upachaaya bhav. This means the person will put a lot of effort to make his identity, and this effort eventually gives rise to his career. and image in society.

Here planet is Mars, a fiery planet in the airy sign of Gemini. Now remember that Mars is inimical to Mercury, so Mars will not give good results. It can have an adverse influence on the relations with your siblings or even property matters.

 It can make one lazy or efforts can go waste. And you might even face difficulty in communicating with others, or your presentations will not be powerful.

There are also chances of getting into conflicts as this house represents our courage and efforts. And Mars is the 8th lord, so this can give unexpected trials and challenges as well.

Thus difficulties in applications or communications, documentations, due to aggressive attitude.

There can be the probability of Miscommunication, forgery, bribery, and a fraudulent act involving. 

Misrepresentations are outcomes of a weak 3rd house in Vedic Astrology. Eventually, these wrong deeds end with disgrace or mental stress.

Taurus Lagna – Venus in 3rd House in Astrology

Venus in Cancer

And this energy is in the communication sector. So a beautiful and emotional way of talking. Your voice will have Venus plus Moon qualities.

When the 3rd house is in a movable sign, it displays growth and advancement. This means a person can involve himself in such a work that requires constant change.

Cancer is a watery sign, and Venus is your identity, this gives recognition, by a brand that involves water elements. ( creativity, partnership, and sensitivity)

But Venus in Kaam bhav increases desires and passion. And in my view, Venus in the Moon sign shows a person can be very creative and tasteful. And the cancer sign represents loving and nurturing, and traveling. Now, venus is wealth and Cancer is a flowing river, so money should be in a flowing state like one should keep on spending. If in crisis, use this point as a remedial suggestion.

Leo Lagna- Sun in 3rd house in Astrology

Sun in Libra

Now here your authoritative position is connected with the 3rd house of communication, sibling, and documentation. Your life focus is on interacting with others, making efforts for gains. Also if there is a debilitated planet in the 3rd house, it shows, that you will get gains easily with little effort.

This position even signifies interest in mystical science. And you will get satisfaction, doing those occult practices.

Libra Lagna – Venus in 3rd House

If you are a Libra Lagna and Venus is in 3rd house, this is a fiery sign of Sagittarius and Jupiter is the lord. Now when a planet that represents beauty, sales and marketing, and fine arts is in Sagittarius that represents higher learning and 3rd house represents hand skills also. Here a person can have an inclination in some artistic creative things.

Now here is the catch, Sagittarius is the natural 9th house, so if the 3rd house task is involved in work, it will boost his fortune and luck.

But Venus is the 8th lord in the 3rd house, so passion and enthusiasm in occult science like astrology, tantra, and even mantra. Or problems to the younger siblings.

Venus in the 3rd house, a person likes to involve in publications and journalism. So even an online business can be explored in such a case. And here one can get funds for his start-up company. As 8th lord is other’s money also.

Sagittarius Lagna- Jupiter in 3rd House

Jupiter in Aquarius

If you are Sagittarius Lagna and Jupiter is in the airy sign of Aquarius. Here Saturn is the lord of the 3rd house. Jupiter here is the 4th lord as well. So if the 4th lord is in the 12th house, this gives possibilities to reside abroad or away from home town.

The planet Jupiter represents knowledge and 3rd house declares media, writings, and communication, and airy signs also highlight knowledge.

This means the person’s goal is to spread knowledge and bring awareness to society through social media.

Capricorn Lagna – Saturn in 3rd House in Astrology

Saturn in Pisces

If you are a Capricorn Lagna and Saturn is in the watery sign of Pisces. Here Jupiter is the lord. Now Saturn represents limitations, structure, and creates boundaries.

Here Saturn is the 2nd lord as well. So the concept of Bhavat Bhavam is applied here. This means a monetary increase from investing wealth into one’s reserve. Therefore it adds to your resources, wealth, and your share in the family assets.

Here the main goal of a person has Saturn attributes, so with those traits, he makes his recognition using writings, public speakings, the internet, and marketing.

Now Saturn is a slow-moving planet, and a karaka of disease, darkness, and death so the writings can be intense, and more research-based. Or these people write very slowly and with deep-felt meaning.

Aquarius Lagna – Saturn in 3rd

Saturn in Aries

If you are an Aquarius Lagna, Saturn is in the fiery sign of Mars. Here Saturn is debilitated, so again Lagna lord debilitated in the movable sign and in the house of courage, efforts, and different modes of communication.

Now this Saturn has higher goals, but there are chances, he will not put in much effort. Or even such people leave their ideologies behind to attain their goals.

Now Saturn is a fiery sign, so this shows passion and determination. But since here it is also the 12th lord, so it can give issues related to siblings, and fulfillment in life.

Pisces Lagna – Jupiter in 3rd

Jupiter in Taurus

If you are a Pisces Lagna, Jupiter is in the earthy sign of Taurus. Here Venus is the lord. Now Jupiter represents higher knowledge, prosperity, and teachers and children.

Here Jupiter will fulfill his goals, through speaking, socializing with others. But he will only talk about beliefs, faiths, ideologies, and traditional knowledge.

As here Taurus is the earthy sign and signifies material possessions, so Jupiter here will make his image through family wealth, and luxurious things.

This Jupiter has material goals, he will only talk about Vedic wisdom, but the real intention is in possessing family wealth.

Conclusion
