significator)
- 3rd
House → Nose (secondary), Lungs, Breathing (Mercury, Mars)
- 4th
House → Lungs, Heart, Stomach (emotional and physical seat)
- 5th
House → Heart, Stomach (digestion, vitality)
- 6th

Planetary Logic
- Venus
(2nd House)
- Governs
the nose as a sensory organ of taste and smell.
- Venus
is the karaka for beauty and fragrance, hence the nose as a Venusian
organ.
- The
2nd house also rules face and speech, so Venus here emphasizes the
aesthetic and sensory role of the nose.
- Mercury
(3rd House)
- Represents
breathing in, inhalation, and the rhythm of respiration.
- Mercury’s
airy, communicative quality links to the lungs and bronchial system.
- In
the 3rd, Mercury signifies the functional aspect of breathing — the
intake and exchange of prana.
- Mars
(3rd House, fixed significator)
- Mars
rules energy, vitality, and muscular action.
- As a
fixed significator of the 3rd, Mars gives the nose a secondary
representation — the structural, protective, and assertive aspect (think
of the nose as a protruding, defensive feature of the face).
- Mars
also governs the vitality of the lungs, the fiery drive behind
respiration.

Expansion on the Nose
- 2nd
House (Venus) → The nose as a sense organ, linked to taste, smell, and
aesthetics.
- 3rd
House (Mercury + Mars) → The nose as a functional organ of breathing
(Mercury) and as a structural, protective feature (Mars).
- Thus,
the nose is evaluated both as a sensory Venusian organ and as a
respiratory Mercury–Mars organ.
