THIRD HOUSE SATURN

The House of the Environment - The Field of Communications

Brothers, sisters, relatives, and neighbors.  Intellectual interests.  Education.  Perception and speech.  Books, magazines, and letters.  Publications.  Short journeys.

Since Saturn must clamp down somewhere in a chart, this is as good a placement as any. It denotes a serious, orderly, and concentrated mind which tends toward orthodoxy and the retention of accepted ideas.

Under affliction, it limits the early education or makes the school years an ordeal too grimly endured. It can produce depression but, even under a cloud, the thinking is usually realistic. Intellectually, these people can be late bloomers and their minds continue to develop right into old age.

They may have a penchant for keeping lists and organizing details. Sometimes they find themselves involved in time-consuming projects which isolate them from the people in the immediate environment.

The chances are that there were disruptions to school days, or the individual hated school and was very unhappy there. However, maybe such difficulties were overcome, resulting in the individual developing some very special qualities which eventually led to a position of responsibility and prominence - becoming first in the class, perhaps.

In that case, Saturn was working positively, but at the same time placing the subject in a remote and somewhat isolated position.

There may be a tendency to blame weaknesses and failures on the education. If this occurs one must discover the truth of the matter; it may be simply an excuse, in which case a change of attitude is most desirable.

This house is connected with the mind, so there is a good chance of the individual being sensible and practical, with the ability to make cautious long-term plans. They may also have an inner need to fill any gaps in their education.
