Forever Young . . . . The Third House

Just like the lyrics to the Youth Group song Forever Young read . .  I want to stay forever young.  I included the song and video so you could reminisce the song for two reasons, one I like it and two I know the Drummer by default.

The Third House is the house of learning.  This is where we make our mind up about the world.  If we continually stay in a state of learning then our mind is more potent this way.  At any time that we stagnate from learning then this is the signal to the end of us as well.  This type of stagnation is poison to the body via the mind.

This house deals with communication and your in close environment in your family with your siblings or with your work colleages and school friends and education at all levels and with relationships with early work life life and apprenticeships.  This house also describes your short trips and your means of transport and communication in the world.  It deals with all things practical.

Some say the 9th House rules the Higher mind and the 3rd House rules the lower but this is just the polarity of the situation as both are identical but are opposite.

"If you feel others don't understand you,look to the third house to see how well you make yourself understood.”  ” Donna Cunningham

Old Equipment at 2bbb but and awesome communications tool in its day!

Carolyn Myss writes that the 3rd house “reveals how you direct your energy into the world.” She also says that the challenge of the 3rd house is to become conscious of your motivations, as one's every thought, word, action, and deed invoke the laws of magnetic attraction.

What you put out in the 3rd is what you'll receive. It is clear that features of this house are certainly action and spontaneous movement. Modern astrologers may get a shock to learn that in traditional astrology, action-oriented, desire-inspired, power-wielding Mars, not Mercury, is assigned to rule over  the 3rd House.  I will be looking into this more down the track.

Grade Four and being nine and I am above the boy with the Stanthorpe 1968 sign.

You can see that this would cause some conjecture.  A definitive answer to exactly which planet rules this house and so  many will say Mercury rules the house of Communication and others will say its is firey Mars also that rules here.

If its not happening in your life for what ever reason take a look at what is going on in your third house of communication and see that enlightens you any.

Can you imagine when this race is run,
Turn our golden faces into the sun,
Praising our leaders getting in tune,
The music's played by the mad man

Forever young, I wanna be forever young,
Do you really wanna live forever?
Forever forever
Forever young, I wanna be forever young,
Do you really wanna live forever?
Forever forever

Some are like water some are like the heat,
Some are the melodies some are the beat,
Sooner or later they'll all be gone,
Why don't they stay young?
It's hard to get old without a cause,
I don't want to perish like a fading voice,
Youth is like diamonds in the sun,
And diamonds are forever,
So many adventures couldn't happened today,
So many songs that we forgot to play,
So many dreams swinging out in the blue,
We let them come true

Excerpt from Forever Young Lyrics

I have been entering my own as we go along and it seems I have MARS in my third house:

Mars in House III

With Mars in the 3rd house, relationships constitute a sort of confrontation and a dual experience. You try to turn communication into a tool for the development of your capacities to fight and to take action. Therefore, it is most likely that your reactions are very fierce when you deal with a new person or a new idea. You love, you hate, and you cross swords with reality. Your relationships with old acquaintances and new encounters are never devoid of ardour. You experience the world as a marvellous challenge.

Uranus in House III

Uranus is in the 3rd House. You are endowed with an acute sense of innovation and a mind avid for discoveries. Assimilation of knowledge constitutes a challenge for your thirst for renewal. You are open to modern ideas, and you do not hesitate to put all your energy at the service of a personal experience or an uncommon relationship. Sometimes, the way you communicate has some sort of eccentricity touch, which disconcerts the members of your entourage, amuses them, or win them over.

Pluto in House III

With Pluto in the 3rd House, your mode of assimilation is pretty complex. Whether you encounter a person or you discover a new idea, you are primarily attracted to what is concealed and what is left unsaid. You are interested in uncovering the other side of the coin, and you understand the hidden machinery as well as what is secretly at stake in a relationship. Communication brings into play a whole set of underlying information. You are never entirely fooled, and you are fully aware of the subtle rules governing your exchanges.
