Interpreting Lords in the Eleventh House

1
Sun in the Eleventh House: You're a team player who loves to be recognized in their community. The Sun represents your ego and it illuminates the Eleventh House. You probably love helping friends out and contributing in leadership capacities. Just ensure that you give yourself a chance to be alone every once in a while.
2
Moon in the Eleventh House: You're super helpful, but you rely a lot on the support of your friends. The Moon represents our emotions, so its placement in the House of Friendship means that you're sentimental and you long to be part of a group. Be cautious when you choose your friends—surround yourself with people who have your best interests at heart.
3
Mercury in the Eleventh House: You're a natural charmer and your intelligence shines. This is because Mercury governs communication. With Mercury in the Eleventh House, you're great at interacting, arguing, and explaining. Although you work well with others, don't let their opinions or criticisms bother you.
4
Venus in the Eleventh House: You bring a sunny disposition and devotion to your relationships. Venus is known as the planet that influences pleasure, so in the Eleventh House, you're looking for relationships that make you feel loved and cared for. Your best advice? Trust yourself and don't second-guess how you feel about your relationships.
5
Mars in the Eleventh House: You're a natural leader and you bring ambitious energy to everything you do. Mars represents anger and passion, but when it's in your Eleventh House it can mean that you're great at achieving goals. The challenge for you is to not take on more than you can handle.
6
Jupiter in the Eleventh House: You're great when it comes to working with others. Plus, you're lucky. This is probably because Jupiter is the planet of joy and luck! While you can enjoy opportunities in your relationships and careers, don't expect to get lucky every time. It's a good idea to focus on your education and skills.
7
Saturn in the Eleventh House: You're responsible and involved in your community. You probably have close friends who take life very seriously. Since Saturn is the planet that shows your challenges, its placement in the Eleventh House shows that you may struggle with close relationships or have anxiety in groups. Try not to worry so much about what other people think of you.
8
Uranus in the Eleventh House: You may feel like an outsider, but you bring a unique viewpoint to your social groups. Uranus is known for being shocking or unconventional. You're probably known for being a little quirky or eccentric. Be willing to be a little flexible with your ideas so it's easier for you to work with others.
9
Neptune in the Eleventh House: You're inspiring and charismatic to those around you. You probably have lots of friends and a really good support network. However, since Neptune is the planet of illusions, you might not have effective boundaries in your relationships. Ensure that people earn your trust and don't take advantage of your goodwill.^{[4]
