The 3rd House in Astrology
The 3rd House in astrology is often referred to as the House of Communication, but it is actually much more than that.
This house not only reveals how you communicate but also how you listen and comprehend what is being said to you.
Your 3rd is your center for “selective listening,” where you hear what you want to hear.
In addition to communication, how you think and process information is also indicated by your 3rd House.
The 3rd House also governs your relationships with your siblings and other close relatives such as cousins.
It represents your interactions with people you encounter on a regular basis, like neighbors, as well as familiar places or “short journeys” that you take frequently, or traveling to places that don’t seem “foreign” to you.
Third House Meaning:
- Verbal and written communication
- Active listening
- Family relationships
- Early education
- Neighborhood
- Local travel
- Cognitive processes
- Interactions with neighbors
Pisces 3rd House Meaning
If you find Pisces on the 3rd House cusp in your birth chart, that means that this sign of the Zodiac is going to help shape how you communicate with the world.
Your Pisces 3rd House may influence you to often focus on what the person feels or thinks as much (or even more) as what they’re saying out loud.
You may be great at “reading between the lines” when others are talking and be able to grasp more meaning from their words than others do, and you may just “know things” about someone and not be exactly sure how or why.
Picking up on emotions so much in conversation could also influence you to be incredibly compassionate and nurturing, able to offer great comfort to those who need it.
With a Pisces 3rd House, your style of communicating may flow in a way that is unique to you, which doesn’t necessarily follow a logical or chronological path.
You may even feel more comfortable expressing yourself in ways that aren’t through speech, but rather through outlets like art and music, and you may feel a sense of disconnect to the “material world.”
When it comes to thought processes, it may be a little more complicated with Pisces in your 3rd House because not only are you thinking your own thoughts, but you may also be picking up on the thoughts of others.
Some thoughts are your own, some could belong to others, and they might all blur together. It could be really hard to tell the difference.
With Pisces in your 3rd House, you may be very compassionate with the familiar people in your life, such as siblings or neighbors, and may understand and “see the real them” in a way that others cannot.
Pisces 3rd House Strengths
- Infuses thoughts with emotions: Pisces’ emotions run deep, and in your 3rd House this sign may intertwine feelings and thoughts together in your mind. This combination can foster an incredible level of compassion that could benefit the people you interact with.
- A voice for others: Because of the sensitive qualities of Pisces, in your 3rd House, it may inspire you to be able to speak for those who, for whatever reason, struggle to speak for themselves. Children, people down on their luck, persons with disabilities, or the elderly, you may be great at advocating for them and making sure their voices are heard.
- Community-minded: With selfless Pisces in your 3rd House, you may be a great neighborhood spokesperson, using your voice to help enhance the lives of your neighbors and community members.
- Imaginative: Pisces has a great deal of access to its soul and a connection to a larger and greater power. With a Pisces 3rd House, this may bring with it a brilliant imagination. Your mind may be able to dream up incredible worlds and fantasies that may be more interesting than anything we have here on earth!
- Inspires others with words: In your 3rd House, the connection that Pisces has to the divine may spark an ability to inspire others. People you speak with may feel touched by this higher power through your caring or inspiring words or ideas, enhancing their life in the process.
Pisces 3rd House Weaknesses
- Hard to follow: Because Pisces’ thoughts can originate both in its own mind and from others, it can be hard to keep everything straight. With a Pisces 3rd House, this may come across as scattered thinking. Others may struggle to follow along in conversations that may not be sequential or organized.
- Struggles with logic: Watery Pisces runs on emotion, not logic. With this sign in the 3rd House of thinking, logical and analytical thinking could be a struggle with more emphasis on imaginative thinking and creativity.
- Plays the victim: Pisces can have the tendency to take on the victim role and in the 3rd House this could come through as playing the victim card in conversation, debate, or disagreements.
- Escapes from reality: Because Pisces in the 3rd House has so many stimuli coming in from all directions, sometimes Pisces needs to escape for a while. This may look like harmless daydreaming or escaping into a book, but can also turn into avoiding communication or things that require logical thinking altogether.
- Absorbs opinions of others: In the 3rd House, Pisces is thinking its own thoughts as well as the thoughts of others in its presence. These tendencies could lead to Pisces in the 3rd House struggling to assert its own opinions and thoughts and not just parroting what others think or say.
What else could influence a Pisces 3rd House?
While the placement of Aquarius in your 3rd House will certainly have an impact, there are other factors to consider when considering this house, such as planets.
Pisces’ Planetary Rulers: Jupiter and Neptune
Pisces’ modern ruler is Neptune and its traditional ruler is Jupiter.
With Pisces in your 3rd house, wherever Neptune and Jupiter are seated in your birth chart is going to add more complexity to how Pisces shines through in your communication style, how you think, and the way in which you connect to your siblings.
Neptune in Sagittarius, for example, may motivate you to want to search for this higher power that you sense so strongly. You may take on the role of traveling mystic, searching for the world, either literally or through books or movies, for the meaning of life. You may also love to speak to others about different cultures and world views.
Find Jupiter in Gemini? This could counteract some of Pisces’ struggles with analytical thinking and bring a little more logic and structure to the mind of Pisces in the 3rd House.
Planets in your 3rd House
If other planets reside in your 3rd House, they will also affect how you experience this house.
If the Moon sits in your 3rd House, for instance, Pisces’ ability to connect with your soul, elicit emotion, and create a vivid imagination could all be turned up to high volume.
Find Saturn in your 3rd House? Pisces’ mind may be pulled down out of the clouds a little bit and your thoughts may take on more of a serious tone.
