The Eleventh House-House of Friendships

The Eleventh House is commonly referred to as the House of
Friends. Through our friends, we find strength in numbers -- we
see the power of the collective, the group. Groups addressed by
this House include clubs, organizations, social groups,
networking organizations and professional associations. The
focus here is on the activities we undertake within these groups,
how we make a difference and as a result, how we grow and
actualize our true selves. Further, it's the group, by virtue of its
collective strength, which helps to define what we as individuals
will do.

As we grow, we have more opportunities and possibilities
available to us, and the Eleventh House addresses these. Our
interactions and efforts are in keeping with our priorities in life;
these interactions have the ability to enhance our lives. A labor
of love? Yes, in many ways. Through our friends and group
activities we add substance and meaning to our lives and to
society.

The Eleventh House also speaks to destiny -- in simple terms,
our hopes and dreams, what we desire and what we want to
achieve. Our creative vision is highlighted, the simple act of
working toward our maximal selves. The power of collective
creation, as well as the creative sparks generated by the group,
are also important to this House. By banding together, we can
create so much more.

In joining with our friends, we not only accomplish a great deal,
but we can also enjoy the fruits of our labor. The Eleventh
House also addresses the kind of friend we are: what do we do
for others? How do we view our friends? How do they view us?
It is our basic character which, to a great extent, defines the
friends and groups we choose.

Oftentimes, we work with our friends toward a greater good and
in the hope of improving society. This is our philanthropic side
coming to the fore, the ability to selflessly and eagerly help
others. It is also our humanity manifesting itself most effectively.
At times, we may upset the proverbial apple cart, but the sum
total of our efforts should be to look at the end result. If that's
good, then the process of getting there, for better or for worse, is
worthwhile. Lastly, the Eleventh House also governs
stepchildren, foster children and adopted children.

The Eleventh House is ruled by the Sign Aquarius and the
Planets Saturn and Uranus.
