The 11th House of Friendship and Community in Astrology

Overview

In astrology, there is more to learn than solely about the signs and planets. Another key component to an individual’s natal astrology chart is about the astrological houses. The houses reveal where we may have certain experiences or when we can expect something to take place. In this post, however, we’re going to dive specifically into the eleventh house of friendship and community!

The Eleventh House

Unlike signs and planets, houses regard events and circumstances in which we tend to have certain types of experiences. The types of experiences we may have depends on the house and its associations. Any astrological connections to the eleventh house indicate things which are mainly surrounding group involvement.

More specifically, the eleventh house indicates the areas in which our friends are involved. This is where we can find community endeavours, parties, and get-togetheries involving specific groups. Lastly, this house is also associated with organizations, charitable events, and humanitarian projects.

Aquarius House

The eleventh House is also known as the Aquarius House. Essentially, all this means is that the characteristics commonly associated to the zodiac sign, Gemini, can also be attributed to the house. However, this is through our experiences rather than within our personality.

Aquarius is an Air sign, which means that it is highly logical and intelligent. However, Aquarius is also inventive and oftentimes thinks in terms of the future. Lastly, considering Aquarius is known to be somewhat of a rebel, we may find that placements within this house are connected to experiences in life in which we challenge tradition.

In this image is the astrological wheel. Within it, you’ll find the twelve zodiac signs, the ten planets, the points, and the twelve houses. On the upper, left side of the wheel, above Aquarius and the number 11 is where you’ll find the eleventh house.

Naturally, Aquarius rules the eleventh house. However, for many of us, we have a different sign ruling our personal eleventh house. We may also have or may not have planets in the house that influence this placement. Likewise, any aspects to the eleventh house may impact it as well.

Everything, from the line separating Capricorn and Aquarius to the opposite line that divides Aquarius and Pisces is within the eleventh house. Therefore, the symbol for Uranus, (♅), resides in this house for the current example. So, whenever you’re looking at your personal astrology chart, this is how you determine what’s in your eleventh house.

Eleventh House Planets

For those of us that have multiple planets within the eleventh house, we’re likely to be a part of multiple types of organizations, such as sororities, teams, or other types of communities. As a result, it also means that we have multiple types of friends and connections. Conversely, having no planets in the eleventh house simply means that we can refer to the sign ruling our personal eleventh house for insight.
