The Eleventh House of astrology, otherwise known as the House of Camaraderie, is the House that governs friendships, partnerships, and even amicable acquaintances.
Blessed by the tripartite relationship between Aquarius and the planets Saturn and Uranus, this is the aspect of astrology that displays the primacy of social connection, as it acknowledges that one is much stronger with friends than they are by themselves. It also speaks of how beautifully friendships are laid out and created. Rather than being circumstantial in nature, the purity of friendships is acknowledged through the connections made.
Here, the implicit meaning is that friendship is not something that you readily take for granted. It is not simply transactional, where you discard the bonds you’ve made once you’ve reaped the benefits of interacting with them, nor is it simply about compromising or meeting halfway with another person that you would otherwise hate. Rather, it’s about accepting the individuality and fullness of the person you’re with. Friendship is made beautiful because you choose to love without malice, and you are rewarded with a bond that lasts.
This House also discusses how you tailor your friends into your plans for your future. After all, friendship is best experienced through a collaborative effort. The more you help others achieve their dreams, the likelier you are to experience success within your chosen path. Likewise, the more connections you make with others, the more options you will have in case things go south. You’ll be able to blunt the blow of a career shift, and you will have people who will comfort you in your worst defeats.
In other words, this House shows the strength and importance of friendship. It also serves to help you defeat your personal doubts about others as a whole. If you are thinking of how to expand your friendships, the 11th House will be a great start.
