Understanding the Third House
The third house, known as Shourya Bhava (House of Courage), represents bravery, siblings, speech, communication, skills, and self-effort. It also governs arts, short courses, and even online and offline communication, including sales jobs. In the natural zodiac, it aligns with Gemini and rules the hands, shoulders, and activities involving them, such as sports. When the third lord is in its own house, communication skills and risk-taking abilities become a crucial part of life.
