Interpretation

The eleventh house stands for friends and groups. It is concerned with coming together with those sharing similar ideals and working toward common goals. Clubs, lobby groups and political parties are expressions of this house. In a more general sense, the eleventh house encompasses the wider community and ultimately all human beings, so that the eleventh house also represents the greater ideas intended to further humankind.
In contrast to the Fifth House and its emphasis on individual development, the eleventh house describes the commitment to broader ideas which have an impact in the wider society. The sign on the house cusp, together with any planets located there, indicate how an individual relates and contributes to the collective.

The eleventh house also describes wishes and hopes, while indicating the kind of encouragement an individual receives from others in furthering these aims.
