The Eleventh is the
house of gains. It
shows income or what
brings us increase. It
indicates anything we
may possess much of or
find increase through.
It relates to goals,
aspirations, wishes,
will, and ambition and
the results we are
able to acquire
through them. It
measures our
individualistic
motivation that can
lead to impulsiveness
and egoism. On the
other hand, it
indicates the possible
realization of our
ideals and desires. In
terms of family
relationships, it
represents elder
brothers and sisters,
and their fate is read
through it.
It is a house of
abundance in which
planets are usually
very strong and
favourable (even
though the lord of
this house usually has
a negative power).
Whatever planet is
located here it will
bestow its qualities
upon us in great
measure. Venus here,
for example, can
indicate having
several wives; Jupiter
here can give wealth.
On a higher level, the
Eleventh can give
great spiritual gains
and show the
development of an
expansive and
articulate
intelligence (in this
respect it resembles
the Fifth house, whose
opposite it is on the
chart).
The Eleventh gives
great material gains,
but there is often the
tendency to be overly
presumptuous about
them and to over
extend ourselves
through them. It is
not only the place of
abundance but also of
excess.
This is somewhat
different from the
indications of the
Eleventh in the
Western system. Both
systems see it as a
house of goals and
aspirations, but the
Western view relates
it more to group work,
group expression and
friendship. In the
Indian system it is an
individualistic and
sometimes anarchic or
egoistic house. It
gives many resources,
perhaps people, to
manifest through, yet
from a position not of
equality but of power. |
