Ancient astrologers had a very different view of the third house than a correspondence to Gemini would imply. The house's primary significance was for siblings—a meaning it retains today. But Gemini has no such meaning. For another thing, the third house was the ""House of the Moon Goddess"" rather than having"

The word ""cardinal"" originates from the Latin word for ""important,"" since they each mark the turning point of a temperate season.
