House 3

We know that the 3rd bhava gives information about longevity and the topic was already
discussed in the previous articles. Besides longevity, the most important of 3rd house is
brothers / sisters. In general, we say that by watching at 3rd house, we can get
information about brothers and sisters. But in practice, 3rd house indicate immediate
younger brother or sister. If the native of the horoscope is eldest among children in the
family, 1st younger brother or sister is indicated by 3rd house, 2nd from 5th house, 3rd
from 7th house and so on. If there are elder brothers or sisters to the native, we have to
see the same in anti-clockwise direction i.e. immediate elder brother or sister is indicated
by 11th house and still elders to be seen from 9th house and so on. It is also necessary
to examine the chart of Drekkana to acquire information about brothers and sisters.
