Roots of astrology are hard to discover. There are evidences that date astrology into distant prehistoric times, while first horoscopes are associated with the ancient world.

In modern day, astrology is not a science, but a pseudo science, although it appears that spiritual practices and conventional approaches have been getting in touch lately.

Astrology translates to the ‘science of the starts’ and it is a complex system of reading the skies, interpreting celestial motion and planetary distribution over the Solar system.

According to astrology, the cosmos reflects in an individual and our destiny was written over the heavenly vault. However, we could affect it.

Astrological readings do not predict our destiny, although they could point out major events or a type of events.

Much could be learned from your natal chart, which is a unique image of the sky, ‘taken’ at the time of your birth. It is a fixed diagram representing position of the planets at the time of your birth.

Planets exchange their energies and affect one another, creating aspects. They find themselves inside astrological houses, segments of astrological charts.

Let us find out what they were about.

Astrological Houses – Meaning

Twelve astrological houses represent areas of our life or, better to say, the way we are going to experience these areas. They are fields within an astrological chart. Houses with many planets inside mean one particular area of life will be emphasized.

Empty houses will not remain inactive, but we have to look up for the house ruler to see what happens with that particular field.

Astrological houses could be divided into angular, succedent and cadent houses, but we could also divide them by the four elements into Fire, Earth, Air and Water houses. Each of these groups presents with specific energy.

Thus, angular houses are of cardinal energy, related to our direct activity.

Succedent are of fixed qualities, related to available resources and cadent associated with mutable signs, related to what we think before the activity.

Third House in Astrology

The Third House is associated with communication, intellect, writing, early education our attitude towards knowledge and learning, travel, transport, relation to people from our surroundings, especially with our siblings.

Communication is all related to the Third field, including both verbal and non-verbal communication.

Mimics and body language are very important, just as verbal. The Third House revel our communication and conversational skills.

Mercury in Mythology and Astrology – Planets in Houses

Mercury is the planet representing an encyclopedia of information. If we are able to process all of it or most of it, we could develop an objective view on life, which is what many Mercurial people do.

If not, all those information would pile up in our head and we would manage them in a way we would share information we read in newspaper, without going any deeper into the subject. Mercury has much potential, but it also has its downsides.
