Your home and work areas are the places where you are likely to spend most of your time: thus, they are the environments into which you will project a great deal of your personality. They are, in effect, your personal environments. You yourself have an special sensitivity to environment, being unusually responsive towards atmospheres and moods. Therefore, you will do your best at all times to make sure that these areas are just as you want them, and without the intrusion of any disruptive force from the outside. On another level altogether, you are instinctively drawn to literature – whether it is the classics or journalism – and it is a secret ambition of yours one day to write the book to end all books! Think of books as, again, part of your personal environment, and of the one you’ll eventually write as an extension of your own personality.
The third house relates to your local environment, your neighbourhood and brothers and sisters. The light of the Sun shines into these areas of life and highlights them as focal points. Many people with the Sun here are the only child in the family and thus receive all the light (attention) of the parents: Often there is a significant brother as the Sun’s energy is male by nature. Communication and travel within your local community is highlighted and you’re probably well known and well respected locally. Journalists are often born with the Sun in the third house, particularly if Gemini is strong in their chart. The negative side of Sun in the third is the tendency to gossip and poke your nose into others affairs; not much different to some journalists really.
Knowledge is important to you and you chase as much of it as possible. You enjoy passing on the knowledge you have gained. Although you are likely to be very open to new concepts and ideas, there lingers a desire for scientific proof before something can be 100% believed. Your mind enjoys creating and it is thorough and self-reliant. Pride and intellectual domination may be something you need to work on, especially intellectual pride. Patience may also need developing. Misunderstandings can occur with siblings or neighbours due to your belief that you are always or mostly right. You have a strong desire to learn and this may take you on many short journeys. You need to communicate and there may be writing or speaking ability.
