3rd House in Cancer
Avesalom Podvodny. Houses in Zodiac Signs
Love for a student is love for oneself: unskilled and unsteady, yet spiritually oriented. Directness and ease in communication with strangers hardly come naturally to this person. Internally, he fears something, though he is unlikely to be aware of exactly what; however, the principle: “one must be very cautious in dealing with people, since you can’t look into a person’s soul,” strongly resonates with him. Indeed, it is difficult for others—even close ones—to look into his soul. When working with this person, one receives emotional warmth and heartfelt sincerity, which is extremely attractive to others. He tenderly cares for those he trusts, but they should not forget about his vulnerability in even slightly tense social situations. At a low level, the foundation of his social ethics consists of cunning and manipulation toward people, whom he considers unreliable and worthless. Proper development brings insight and the ability to perceive the soul of a chance acquaintance, not to mention deeper relationships. This student will be silent and emotional, yet penetrating into his soul is difficult—he may have numerous sensitive spots and complexes, especially concerning low learning abilities. When studying, he absorbs the subject together with the teacher, often focusing primarily on the emotional background of the learning process; if he loves the teacher, his achievements can be exceptional. On the other hand, an energetic teacher’s interest and excellent visual aids may leave this person indifferent if he does not sense the teacher’s personal attitude—however strict, but individually attentive. A teacher with this house placement will constantly be tempted to have favorites among students and enter into overly emotional relationships with them, and when they prove disappointing, to display a hard crab-like shell of complete detachment. One must learn to use one’s spiritual authority under the calm, purposeful Capricorn (9th house) and understand that students from the 3rd house are sometimes spiritual teachers themselves—it is only necessary to be able to accept their lessons, even if they are harsh.

A parental attitude prevails in relationships with brothers, sisters, and neighbors. He spares nothing for his close ones and acquaintances who find themselves in trouble. It is difficult for him to initiate communication with other people. He is highly vulnerable in difficult, tense social situations. As a student, he is silent and emotional; penetrating into his soul is difficult. In learning, the emotional atmosphere and sense of personal contact with the teacher are crucial—however strict, but personally attentive. He experiences difficulties in development. He dislikes changes in his environment, climate changes, is overly sensitive in interactions, not very talkative, tends to remain silent. He does not create disorder in his surroundings, nor does he initiate movement. He calmly fits into any environment as a given. He consciously cultivates pleasantness and kindness in dealing with others. This is his life protection. If he feels deceived or betrayed by loved ones, distrust awakens within him, which is then difficult to overcome. He is difficult to deal with, as he cannot tolerate criticism—his inner vulnerability is too great. Communication with him is especially difficult in youth and old age. Inner fear constantly drives him to seek external security and safety, which is why his outward charm and kindness are an inborn mask, a psychological defense against the environment in which he must operate. Many trips related to domestic affairs.

CANCER – active interaction with family and neighbors. Sensitivity manifests in contacts, yet vulnerability and fear of judgment. Constant information hunger. A gaze toward the past, a taste for antiquity and history. In learning, emotional connection with the teacher is important.
