Mercury in the 3rd House **************************************************************** Mercury's position in the third house is strengthened; this house is assigned to Gemini and Mercury rules this zodiac sign. Mercury's aspects and location in a sign reveal much about the way that you think, learn, and process your experiences. In general, you are rational and garrulous, but when you analyze situations you may be rather critical. You should carefully assess the zodiac sign in which Mercury is located, because this planet is an imitator that adopts certain characteristics from the sign in which it's found. If other planetary aspects to Mercury in this house are challenging, you should ensure that any problems between you and your siblings are cleared up. This will enable you to understand certain behavioral patterns which may have caused you problems. You may have experienced learning difficulties as a child because you have a unique way of thinking which was not in accord with conventional teaching methods. If you have a tendency for nervous tension, the resultant worry will cause some physical problem(s). If the aspects of Mercury in the third house are not too challenging, you will possess a quick and lively mind which enables you to communicate intelligently. In addition, you probably have a good eye for detail. You can be particularly smart when it comes to presenting your arguments convincingly. There are probably few topics upon which you would not be able to comment.
