Observations concerning the eleventh house and its lord

1. All planets feel good in the 11th house, except in those cases where the 11th house acts as a Badhaka sthana.
2. The rulers of the 9th and 10th houses in the 11th promise an abundant and constant influx of money.
3. A person in whose horoscope the 11th house is occupied by the lord of the 9th, 10th or 11th receives income from his parents and from his profession, and also helps his friends.
4. The bhava where the 11th ruler is placed, and also those houses whose lords are joined with it, will bring income.
5. If a planet rules the 8th and 11th houses simultaneously in the chart, then in the first part of its dasha the person repays debts, resolves conflicts and experiences personal growth. And in the second part of the planetary period the effects of the 11th house will make themselves felt.
6. The 11th house contributes to material prosperity, but restrains spiritual development, therefore the planets connected with this house bring mainly material gains.
7. Rising Sagittarians receive good results from Saturn in the 11th.
8. With the placement of the lord of the 11th in the 11th house the significations of the 11th bhava will flourish and bear fruit generously, and the person himself develops day by day.
9. The ruler of the 11th house brings money, but has a bad influence on well-being.
10. If the 11th house is occupied by the signs of Aries or Virgo and by a strong Moon, the person will have many sisters and two marriages. A danger of problems with the lungs also appears.
11. Mars in the 11th house in the sign of Libra endows the person with a sense of humour, but leads to failures in the middle of life.
12. A person with a new moon (a conjunction of the Sun and the Moon) in the 11th house will attain a high managerial post, even if he was born in modest conditions.
13. The ruler of the 11th in the 12th or 6th house leads the person to prosperity very slowly.
14. Inauspicious planets in the 11th house lengthen life.
15. A person with Jupiter in the 3rd/11th house or with a conjunction in the 11th of Rahu and Mars will be the eldest among his brothers and sisters.
16. The person will be very well-off if in his chart the Arudha Lagna is occupied by the lords of the 2nd, 9th or 11th houses.
17. The placement of the owners of the 2nd and 11th houses in mutual trines or kendras grants prosperity.
18. The lord of the 11th house in the 3rd or 7th brings discord into relations with the relatives of the marriage partner.
19. The influence of the lords of the 2nd and 11th houses on any house adds value to it. For example, a connection of the 2nd and 11th rulers with the lord of the 4th bhava speaks of the person having an expensive dwelling.
20. The 11th house is responsible for the influx of money. However the other bhavas should not be discounted either. If the 2nd house is weak, then the person will have no savings at all, even if money flows to him in a river. If the 4th house does not possess sufficient potential, the person will not be able to invest his finances in something stable and long-lasting. Weakness of the 9th house will not allow the person to feel fully the joy of having money.
