The 3rd house is the house of the everyday mind: how you learn, how you talk, how information is gathered and passed on. Your immediate surroundings belong here as well, because that is where everyday communication happens.
Siblings traditionally belong to this house. Modern usage adds the way you learned in your early school years, social media and short-distance travel.
The 3rd and 9th houses form an axis: the 3rd stands for knowledge that is close, concrete and piecemeal; the 9th for knowledge that is distant, abstract and whole.
If the house is empty
It is often empty. Its ruler shows which area of life learning and communication center on.
