3rd House in Scorpio

Avesalom Podvodny. Houses in Zodiac Signs

The wise serpent will not bite its own tail with a poisonous tooth. In relationships with people, this individual will be emotional and uncompromising. However, unlike the 3rd house in Aries, such a person tends to remain silent rather than loudly and pointlessly express outrage; yet when they do speak, they will say exactly what they think, especially in matters involving criticism. At a low level, the person exhibits irreconcilability toward others and completely projects their own guilt onto them, which is connected with the operation of a subconscious program (governed by the 3rd house) that shapes the individual’s interaction with their social environment. In such cases, the environment is perceived through this program as aggressive and actively attempting to destroy the person, thus triggering the described defensive reaction. It can be difficult to convince the person that they are wrong or mistaken about something, since relevant arguments often provoke an outburst of uncontrolled anger, which the person usually fails to notice—especially if they have the Ascendant in Leo, Virgo, or Libra, perceiving themselves respectively as noble, rationally practical, or emotionally aggressive. Integration leads to a high level of personal self-discipline and responsibility in relationships with others, and the ability to align one’s social ethics with karmic programming—a task generally quite difficult, since personal social ethics are heavily influenced by collective unconsciousness, and becoming aware of this influence and freeing oneself from it usually occurs only at higher levels of development. Learning often proceeds with a strong fixation on the teacher; in any case, the person approaches the teacher with bias and, correspondingly, perceives bias from the teacher. At a low level, this transforms even mild and fair remarks by the teacher into unjust, cruel, and inhumane criticism in the student’s eyes. With strong personal energy, the student may actually program the teacher in this way, forcing the latter to exert considerable effort to behave correctly, let alone sincerely care for the student. The necessary integration requires moving away from an emotional attitude toward the learning process as a whole, particularly ceasing self-destructive thoughts about (imagined but anticipated) complete inability to learn anything. When achieved, this enables deep understanding of subjects and excellent potential for teaching, provided there is balance through a strong 9th house in Taurus.

Houses in Signs. Oleksandr Kostovych

Energetic, extremely resourceful, and creative in their mental processes. Brevity and frankness of speech—well-chosen words—act upon others like a balm. In relationships with people, they are emotional and uncompromising. They prefer to remain silent, but if they speak, they will say exactly what they think. Unforgiving and prone to shifting blame onto others. Contradiction from others triggers in them an outburst of uncontrolled anger. Learning proceeds with a strong fixation on the teacher. They approach the teacher with prejudice and, when mistakes occur, tend to criticize the teacher mercilessly. Yet they deeply absorb and process the subject matter. They experience difficulties in development. In speech, they are concise, enjoy reading, and are always very busy. Unstable in conversation on any given topic—emotions divert the discussion and cause distraction. Belongs to those who analyze words with microscopic precision. Often endangers relationships with close people through a love of poisonous and spiteful remarks. In conversations with loved ones, they seek emotional release and attempt to transfer their negative energy onto others. Connected by secret emotional threads to all close ones. Quickly senses the slightest changes in their mood. Always well-informed, swiftly recognizes the intentions of those around them, their most hidden secrets.
