What Role does the Eleventh House Play in Your Life?
Since the Eleventh House represents our Quest for Community, it is the area of the chart representing that quest by Signs and Points (if any are in this segment of the chart). If you have no Points in this House or Sign, then the energy is waiting to respond. Therefore, Points that progress or transit into this House will activate the energy at specific times in your life. People who have Points in the Sign that rules your 11th House will also activate this area of your life.
If you have a Point or several Points in this House, then the values and concerns of this House will take on the significance of the Point or Points involved. Suppose your Sun occupies this House. If so, then your Life Path will be devoted to “what you envision as truth and how you may distribute this vision to others”. Your approach to ideals, community, and friendships will take on primary importance in your life journey.
