Sun in Virgo in the Third House

With your Sun in Virgo, to the world you give an impression of calm authority, but you are aware of your own nervous, restless, controlled intensity, the desire to be up and doing, rearranging, improving. You can exhaust yourself more by simply sitting still than others do moving around. The planet Mercury, which rules both Virgo and Gemini, inclines its subjects toward constant activity. However, in Gemini the nervous energy is directed primarily toward stimulation and adventure, while in Virgo the ceaseless drive is to accomplish and perfect. It’s impossible for Sun in Virgo individuals to put off until tomorrow what might be done today, or to do later what might be done now. You are, in a word, organized. Your idea of taking it easy would seem like hard work to most people.

As an individual with your Sun in Virgo, your emotional life is a constant striving to bring order out of chaos. Although you have a great capacity for love, love alone is not enough for you to be happy. You need more than a mate, home, children, or friends. Having a Sun in Virgo, you’re ambitious, but not just for money. You want to know more, to gain in wisdom, and put this wisdom to practical use.

With your Sun in Virgo, intelligence is the hallmark of your sign. You have an excellent memory, an analytical mind, and are known for crystal-clear thinking. You also have a keen ability to probe into human motivations. Your superb logic cuts through muddled thinking like a laser beam. You instantly zero in on a problem, take apart difficulties, and put them back together in proper order.

For the Sun in Virgo individual, you may run into difficulties because of a tendency to complicate everything. No problem is ever simple for a Sun in Virgo. For every answer you’ve got a question, and making mountains out of molehills is one of your specialties. Your nature is shy and reserved; it’s hard for you to relax, to make small talk or be gregarious with strangers. You prefer one-on-one encounters, in which you can offer the full benefit of your sharp insights and discerning opinions. That’s also when people discover how well-read, perceptive, charming, and witty you are.

With your Sun in Virgo, a highly developed sense of discrimination may lead you to be hypercritical. You are unsatisfied with things as they are and continue to analyze situations and people in the hope of finding a way to make them better. At times your finely tuned sensibilities can even make you unhappy, for they give you a heightened awareness of the world’s imperfections. However, you resist criticism of your faults from others. It’s a rare Virgo who takes criticism well or who can admit to being in the wrong.

The Inner You with your Sun in Virgo

Having your Sun in Virgo, you have plenty of willpower and dedication, and you work harder than anyone to make sure something is perfect. Why? Because if you can’t do everything superbly, you begin to fear that you’re failing. You are much too critical of yourself. Actually, you’re an enigma that no one has quite figured out. You hold back with people you don’t know well and are reserved even with those you love. Inwardly, though, you feel very deeply. Intensity and extreme sensitivity are part of your secret self. You like looking after others but you need to be appreciated for the kind things you do. Above all, you want to be useful because you truly care about people.

The sign position of the Sun indicates how we seek to express ourselves, develop ourselves, fulfill ourselves, and assert our will and power to shape our environment. The house position indicates the area of life in which we choose to focus the energy of our Sun sign and fulfill the purpose which it represents.

Sun in the 3rd House

When your Sun is in the 3rd House, it is an extroverted placement for the Sun, but your energy tends to be limited to the immediate and the here-and-now. Your focus is usually on the environment that you can physically sense and on those 人間関係 that are close at hand. You may wish to explore, discover and utilize your environment, however, there is so much to be seen and experienced right around you that you almost never have to go very far afield, emotionally or mentally, in order to become absorbed in what is going on around you.

 With the Sun in the 3rd House, your awareness and self-awareness shines brightly and directly so that you see and experience the world in all its detail. The task before you, therefore – the task in which your Being is absorbed – is to know your world through your experiencing it. Knowing it, you begin to take control of it and having taken control of it, it becomes benign and useful. All the while, your concern is with what is immediately present.

Insecurities

Having your Sun in the 3rd House, if you are insecure within yourself, you are often faced with the immediacy of your environment and you are overwhelmed and threatened by it. The existence that surrounds you is too much for you to comprehend. You, therefore, set boundaries, develop categories and constructs, and define a world for yourself that is safe and manageable. You simply live in this world of forms and roles that you have devised to protect yourself against the rawness of Existence.

With your Sun in the 3rd House, if you are challenged by the complexities of life, you react negatively. You cannot handle challenges to your simple, direct world. You may deny complexity, or you may try to fit it into your simplified vision of the world. You may try to control it by categorizing it. Whatever your response, you do not let yourself experience any threatening complexity. For you, the world exists as surface and if you admitted its depth, it would swallow you up.

Focus of Your Self-Identity

 As an individual with your Sun in the 3rd House, you tend to identify with your immediate surroundings. You may do this actively or passively. Passively, you take your identity from the circumstances in which you find yourself. You are defined by the place you live, the friends and family with whom you interact, the facts you know, your memories and what you have experienced. If your circumstances change, if you must deal with a totally new environment, your identity may change as well. Thus, your identity may be transient and changeable, dependent as it is on your environment. Having your Sun in the 3rd House, if you identify actively with your surroundings, you tend to see yourself as the one who interacts with your environment—the one who discovers, the one who tames the world, the one who collects knowledge, the one who categorizes, etc. In this case, you are likely to see yourself as active and dominating, free and self-determining. You are the one who enters into your environment and takes control of it.
