Sun, Jupiter and Rahu in the 3rd house at a glance
When Surya + Brihaspati + Rahu (Sun + Jupiter + Rahu) share a sign, a yuti, the chart fuses Sun’s the soul, authority and vital life-force, Jupiter’s wisdom, growth and good fortune and Rahu’s obsession, worldly ambition and the pull of illusion, and here all of it works through the 3rd house (Sahaja), the house of courage, self-effort, siblings and communication (Upachaya (growing); natural sign Gemini).
