#Astrology 3rd house, #Rahu(#NorthNode)
3rd house are Upachaya (Icrease/ growth ) house and also of freewill. When you look the definition of house itself, Upa - Chaya you will know there is some kind of Chhaya associated with it. Chhaya is Shadow. All definitions are derived

from the NATURAL Zodiac. When you look at it, 3rd H is Mithuna. 3rd house Gemini is the exaltation of Rahu and that house is linked to Mercury. 6th house Virgo is Mool trikona of Rahu and is also linked to Mercury. And Mercury shows a child who needs to grow up. Child has lot

of doubts and Rahu is master of all doubts. Rahu is perpetually creating doubts in your mind, because he is the master of cheating. You cannot trust anyone with Rahu around. He is planting doubts in the mind / intelligence of Mercury. Mercury is a Rajas planet and all about

competitiveness, growth and gain. The main Karaka of 10th house is Mercury. The tenth house is Artha Kendra, it is associated with earning money, and Mercury represents hard cash. 11th house Kumbha is co-ruled by Rahu. If you look at all these houses, there is strong presence

of Mercury and Rahu. And they represent doubts. So these doubts and desire to grow of Mercury, which is Rajas, they imbue a kind of upachaya energy to that house where there is constant growth, constant doubt, constant effort, about learning, about knowing. Rahu shows

rebellious nature, one who will go against the order. Destiny is imposed by Sun, whereas freewill - I - Me - Ahankar is given by Rahu. Sometimes it is good to follow freewill and sometimes it is better to follow Elders / Dharma. 3rd house is the house of Parakrama. Each time

there is effort, there is malefic influence on that house and they will propel the growth. They will create situations where you need to exercise your free will.
