The Eleventh House

Think of your friends: the ones who share your values, the group you belong to, the community that feels like your people. Think of what you hope for, for yourself and for the world. That is the 11th house: friendship, belonging, and the future you are working toward.

The 11th house follows the career of the 10th. Once you have a place in the world, you find your people there: allies, colleagues, communities. And you start to dream about what could be.

What the 11th house covers

• Friends and social circles.
• Groups, communities and organisations.
• Networks, allies and benefactors.
• Hopes, wishes and goals for the future.

Every chart has all twelve houses. Yours may have several planets in the 11th house or none at all. Either way, this area of life is part of your story.

Where it sits

The 11th house is a succedent house, above the horizon, on the eastern side. Succedent houses (2nd, 5th, 8th, 11th) follow the angles. They build on what the angles start, and are about resources, stability and what we accumulate.

The old name: the Good Spirit

In Hellenistic astrology the 11th house was called the Good Spirit (agathos daimon), and it was the joy of Jupiter. It was considered one of the most fortunate houses: the place of friends, benefactors and good hopes. Jupiter, the planet of generosity, rejoiced there.
