3rd House in Aquarius
Avesalom Podvodny. Houses in the Zodiac Signs
Material must be mastered by the student, but from the end, and this is the essential, primordial phenomenon of learning. This position of the 3rd house gives a general abstract and detached attitude toward people, which is difficult to believe in when the Ascendant is in Sagittarius or Scorpio. He often poorly understands people, perceiving in them only what interests him—shared ideas, especially original and impersonal ones. Their personal problems, earthly and emotional lives concern him little, so he may appear cold and indifferent, which, in fact, applies more to the 3rd house in Capricorn (at lower levels of processing), though the latter is much more practical and will not openly demonstrate its attitude. In reality, a person with the 3rd house in Aquarius is not indifferent to people at all; he simply sees them through his own Aquarian eyes, which, by the way, primarily means friendliness, with mental detachment coming afterward. The issue is that he needs to learn to perceive people more concretely, along with their worldview and problems. Learning comes easily with this 3rd house position; at least, the person grasps many things quickly and absorbs thoughts well; practical skills are somewhat worse. He likes partially intelligent, extravagant teachers with impersonal and generally detached manners who give the student complete freedom of thought, which in this case will be very unconventional (and often outright nonsense, which, however, should not be immediately suppressed). A biased, emotional, overly energetic, and domineering teacher can cause a complete paralysis of perception by redirecting the energy meant for learning into a battle with the teacher, which, especially with the student’s Ascendant in Sagittarius, is dangerous for both. A teacher with the 3rd house in Aquarius does well teaching child prodigies with a physics and mathematics inclination, which will help his self-realization; in kindergarten or a drama theater, he will have a harder time. He needs to balance energetic spiritual teaching (9th house in Leo) and absorb spiritual lessons received from students in the most unambiguous way.

Capable of exchanging ideas that arise in him as a result of intuitive flashes and which he knows how to direct toward practical realization. Progressive in thinking and insists that ideas with practical value must be tested by time before being put into practice. To see everything, understand everything, try everything with one’s own hands—these are his demands. He must see and know only the unadulterated truth. Able to foresee the future of humanity. Prudent but somewhat absent-minded and selfish. He has an independent mind and is not inclined toward superstitions or prejudices. Always filled with the best intentions, consistent in his beliefs. Those around him forgive his mistakes because he usually has no ulterior motives. He cannot tolerate restrictions on freedom or oppression. Various ideas come to him quickly, and success often stems from intuition. He is direct in speech and behavior. Expresses his personal opinion without regard for anything. Observes the lives of others and rarely can refrain from commenting on the correctness and ethics of others’ actions. Often feels very lonely because he is extremely idealistic. With his sharp and uncompromising statements, he often provokes general disapproval. Learning comes easily to him; he grasps much “on the fly” and absorbs thoughts excellently. He likes extravagant teachers with impersonal and detached manners who give him complete freedom of thought. He knows how to present his views reasonably and interestingly. Has excellent abstract thinking. Perception is scattered. Has a phenomenal memory. Unusual and peculiar relationships form with close relatives or neighbors, who leave his life prematurely and unexpectedly. He has a detached, aloof attitude toward people. Often poorly understands people, perceiving in them only what interests him. Their personal problems and emotional lives concern him little. Thus, he may appear cold and indifferent. Few siblings.

AQUARIUS — unstable interactions with the immediate environment—from passive to explosive. Friendliness combines with eccentricity and a detached, contemplative attitude toward people, which does not hinder altruistic inclinations. Many friends. Complete independence in relationships with relatives. Learning comes easily; information is grasped quickly. Interest in everything new and original. Uniform and boring information is not perceived.
