The Sun in the Third House of the Relocation Chart

After moving to a new place of residence, our lives do not change by chance. Of course, the potential of the natal chart cannot be canceled, but under certain circumstances it flourishes through the realization of the native’s innate talents, while in others it may be impossible to succeed professionally or personally, as the events simply do not support this. The relocation chart is built using the same birth data, but in the “Place of residence” field, one must select the location to which the person has moved. The time is set according to Greenwich.

The planets remain at the same degrees and in the same signs; only the cusps of the Houses are shifted. The native’s success depends on the strength of the Sun, as it is responsible for individuality and the ability to fulfill all desires, and, most importantly, for the capacity to achieve goals. If the Sun moves into the Third House, life circumstances will require the native to develop new skills through further education and by expanding their social circle.

Features of the Sun Moving into the Third House in the Relocation Chart

It is important to analyze where the Sun is located in the natal chart and from which sector it moves into the Third. In general, when making predictions, the relocation chart is symbolically overlaid on the natal chart to understand where the main accents shift in the storyline of the future.

If the native chooses a city or country to the west, the cusps of the Houses shift counterclockwise; if to the east, the opposite is true. There are two main scenarios when the Sun enters the Third House—from either the Second or Fourth sector. This does not mean life’s challenges will now pertain only to this area, but their fulfillment will now involve the spheres ruled by the Third House. The native will need to communicate more and build useful connections. Moreover, if they have decided to be a freelancer and work from home, as was possible with the Sun in the Fourth House, this will not bring great financial rewards unless they also engage in networking and attend events outside the online space.

An exception applies if there are stronger aspects between the Fourth, Sixth, and Eighth Houses, which indicate success in employment. In any case, the native will need to act quickly and energetically; it will not be possible to simply withdraw into a cozy family world.

The Sun in the Third House of the Relocation Chart and Self-Expression

The main task for the native becomes learning new skills and new ways of interacting with the world. The native needs to literally absorb the knowledge, skills, and perspectives of others—enriching their own resources and broadening their horizons.

Without this, the native will not be able to earn more than what is indicated by the Second House in their natal chart. However, if they grow intellectually and apply their knowledge in practice—for example, by learning a foreign language or completing computer courses—this will surely lead to an increase in income. It is also important to expand one’s circle of contacts beyond just the work team. If younger relatives live nearby in the new location, they will become a source of good news and welcome changes.

If, however, the ruler of the Third House and the Sun itself are afflicted by negative aspects, the opposite may occur—relatives and neighbors may cause problems and difficulties. This is especially true for those whose Sun moves from the Fourth to the Third House and who previously enjoyed peaceful relations with neighbors. It is important to analyze all aspects in the relocation chart to avoid ending up with problematic neighbors.

The native acquires new character traits, or those that were previously dormant become stronger:

• increased sociability, talkativeness, curiosity;
• sense of humor, desire to joke around, lightheartedness—even being silly if it amuses others;
• need to learn and change, to acquire new skills, to apprentice under a professional;
• quick reflexes, manual dexterity, eloquence;
• desire to create things with one’s hands—such as embroidery, knitting, drawing, sculpting—not just for the home, but to participate in exhibitions and competitions, to make a name for oneself.

Since most often the Sun moves into the Third House from the Second, it is important to understand that all these qualities must ultimately be put into practice to energize and enrich the native.

Negative Influence of the Sun in the Third House in Relocation

With challenging aspects, the native may be caught in a whirl of events instigated by relatives or neighbors. They may be forced to attend gatherings or family meetings they have no interest in. The native may be overwhelmed with unnecessary information, gossip, and frequent phone calls for no real reason.

At a low level of awareness, the native themselves may initiate empty socializing—constantly visiting others or spending excessive time on social media. It becomes difficult to focus on truly useful matters, and energy dissipates over trivialities, making it impossible to assemble a coherent picture of success.

It is important to remember that the placement of the Sun in the Third House requires focusing on learning something new and putting that knowledge into practice—only then will the negative effects subside.  ✓
