I have Venus in the 3rd in Sagittarius (it is technically on the cusp so it also influences the 4th house).

The 3rd house is about communication and Venus is about love. I am flirty, charming and I respond well to people that also are flirty (but not crude). I love conversations and communication within a relationship- cards, music, text messages, phone calls.. face to face.

In fact the best gift ever, to me, is one of communication such as when my husband makes a CD for me with various music. It represents how he feels and I love being able to listen to it.

Music... how do you catch a Venus in the 3rd- great music- just watch our demeaner change depending on the music.

I hope that helps. You make also want to check out - http://www.bobmarksastrologer.com/thirdhouse.htm

Venus in the Third House: Charming speech and, if there are any siblings, at least one will be a charmer as well, or will be involved with some Venus area (art, beauty products, public relations).

let me give you an interp for Venus in 3rd.

Venus in 3rd house:
Beautiful, elegant, and harmonious surroundings are very important to you, and you have an innate sense of style, design, and form. Socially, also, good form and politeness are important to you and you instinctively avoid crudeness and dissonance.

You enjoy talking about love, relationships, art and the beautiful side of life. You appreciate artistic people.

These themes are involved (depending more or less of how is venus aspected and the sign it's in)

-Love of words and communication in any form, you tend to be "libran" in your communication, very charming and thinking of the others' needs and points of views too. Kind of difficult to make decisions, but again that could change depending on sign.

-Nice relationships with siblings and cousins; fond of your local area, talkative with the locals.

-Love doing short courses, keeping up with books and information in general. Like watching tv with a book and a computer at the same time...

I personally got Venus in the 3rd house conjunct Mercury and both opposite my MC.

I use my charming communication and social skills for a living, organising and selling conferences where people obtain prime information.

Love to visit neighbourhoods and take short trips out of town.

Like witty people, gemini-type, and I'm social butterfly.

So there goes some venus - 3rd house stuff, hope it rang some bells for you.

I sound very feminine for a male

posted October 20, 2006 01:46 PM            

also facial hair makes a big difference...without facial hair,my face looks feminine and young...I kinda wonder if my high cheekbones and my long thick eyelashes have something to do with it.
That's one of the reasons that I prefer wearing facial hair..makes me look more masculine..it obviously works...you don't think that I look feminine. hahahahaha

I had longer hair....been mistakened for gay so many times I lost count. I have been mistakened for a girl in my teens more than once. My mom even told me that I was mistakened for a girl when I was a baby. People told me that I look like fag. It really sucked. Ever since I joined the navy,I wear my hair short.

People on yahoo called me a faggot because of my voice when I talk on mic. They even told me that I sound female. I have been addressed as female before on yahoo because they didn't know that I was male. A lot of people say that I sound like Michael Jackson when I talk. I am very softspoken with a high pitch. You can say that I sound a bit sweet as well as gentle...somebody that you can tell is extremely sensitive. I do have strong feminine traits which you can see in my chart(My Sun,Mercury,Venus in Scorpio along with Moon in Pisces square Neptune as well as Virgo Ascendant....my big 3 are all in feminine signs). I was even told by a psychic that I had too much female energy and that I have to work on my male energy. I really don't fit the male stereotypes either. I have never did. I really hate gender generalizations/stereotypes. They definitely don't fit me.

I have other things that could relate to my voice

I also have:
Neptune in 3rd
Mercury parallel Neptune
Mercury conjunct Sun/Neptune midpoint
(that's my Dyslexia,Dyspraxia as well as my softspokenness)

You can't just go by pic. You can't judge a book by its cover. I think that's my purpose of being born to teach people not to do that. I don't fit any type of stereotype.

Like the strong Neptunian I am,I am very hard to pin down. A lot of people can't tell what ethnic background is. hahahaha

Academics find that the finger of destiny points their way

Male scientists are good at research because they have the hormone levels of women and long index fingers, a new study says.

A survey of academics at the University of Bath has found that male scientists typically have a level of the hormone oestrogen as high as their testosterone level.

These hormone levels are more usual in women than men, who normally have higher levels of testosterone.

The study draws on research which suggests that these unusual hormone levels in many male scientists cause the right side of their brains, which governs spatial and analytic skills, to develop strongly.

The study, which has been submitted to the British Journal of Psychology, also found that:

• these hormonal levels may make male scientists less likely to have children.
• those men with a higher level of oestrogen were more likely than average to have relatives with dyslexia, which may in part be caused by hormonal levels.
• women social scientists tended to have higher levels of testosterone, making their brains closer to those of males in general.

The length of fingers is genetically linked to the sex hormones, and a person with an index finger shorter than the ring finger will have had more testosterone while in the womb, and a person with an index finger longer than the ring finger will have had more oestrogen. The difference in the lengths can be small – as little as two or three per cent – but important.

A survey of the finger lengths of over 100 male and female academics at the University by senior Psychology lecturer Dr Mark Brosnan has found that those men teaching hard science like mathematics and physics tend to have index fingers as long as their ring fingers, a marker for unusually high oestrogen levels for males.

It also found the reverse: those male academics with longer ring fingers than index fingers – the usual male pattern – tended not to be in science but in social science subjects such as psychology and education.

I also don't have typical male hands. My index finger is the same length as my ring finger. That is said to be the typical female hand. The typical male hand has ring finger larger than index finger. I am very rightbrained with very strong visual spatial skills(being Dyslexic),and both my parents were Dyslexic and some relatives in my mom's family that have Dyslexic characteristics. That could be good for Astrology which is based on mathematics..especially Geometry. Spatial and analytical skills are important to be an astrologer.
