Mars in the 3rd house: the 3rd house, counted anticlockwise from the Ascendant on the left.

Meaning

Words get sharper when Mars enters the 3rd, the cadent house of exchange. Traditionally the house of brothers and sisters, it is also the near world of neighbours and short trips. A fast, frank way of speaking is the classic reading, with a love of debate and wits honed early, sometimes by a sibling rivalry.

In the 3rd house, Mars puts energy, ambition and a competitive edge into communication, learning, siblings and short trips.
