The Sun in the 11th house
These people are usually gifted with a beautiful appearance, live long, associate with great people, own property, and are able to earn money and to manage it well. They may come from a prosperous family. These people are egoistic and have few close ones. They are proud and somewhat boastful, but they are highly valued by educated and qualified people. (Tom Hopke)
Surya in the 11th house
The Sun in the 11th house. Beauty and attractiveness, a long, interesting life, considerable property and wealth. The Sun in the 11th house indicates a good origin and illustrious ancestors. Such people are egoistic, proud and boastful, and have few close friends. They are talented and charismatic and enjoy the respect of educated people. (Indubala)
The Sun in the eleventh house destroys all the harmful combinations which may bring the person illnesses and an early death. That is, the 11th house is a very good place for the Sun. The Sun here gives health, wealth and good friends. Such a person receives help from all sides. This is a good placement for material goods. The person may not obtain these results in full measure when the Sun receives a bad influence from malefics. (Mahesh Dharmadasa)
“Bhrigu Sutra” 1.96-102
The Sun in the 11th house will bring the owner of the horoscope a substantial income from agricultural work. At 25 he will acquire means of transport. Using his wealth and diplomatic abilities, the owner of the horoscope will attain still greater prosperity. He will have many friends and good cordial relations with his employees. With an unfavourable aspect to the Sun great expenditures and an absence of means of transport are to be expected. If the Sun is in its own sign
or in its sign of exaltation, and also in conjunction with the lord of the 4th house, then wealth, the possession of landed property, means of transport and a multitude of sources of income await the owner of the horoscope.
Comments:
The 11th house, a house of upachaya, is very favourable and advantageous for almost all planets, except negatively aspected lords of bad houses. The Sun from the 11th house influences the 5th house, the house of mental abilities and diplomacy, “highlighting” these characteristics. Besides this, the owner of the horoscope will also be endowed with an artistic talent. The 11th house is a very strong position for the Sun, which will endow the owner of the horoscope with a beautiful appearance, a long life, property and association with the higher strata of society, but also with pride, egoism, boastfulness and a small number of close friends. The Sun as the pitri karaka, the indicator of the father, being in the 11th house, speaks of an origin from a prosperous or noble family. To the merits of the owner of the horoscope one may also attribute an ability to manage money well, an ability to earn it, and also qualification and competence in the sphere of his activity. A conjunction of the Sun with the lord of the 4th house, the house of property, gives wealth and prosperity. A conjunction of the Sun with the lords of the 2nd, 1st and 9th houses is also very favourable.
Other opinions concerning the Sun in the 11th house:
“Brihat Jataka” — wealth.
“Phaladipika” — happiness, wealth and a long life are predicted for a person if the Sun in his horoscope occupies the 11th house.
“Saravali” — the owner of the horoscope will be strong and wealthy and will achieve success in his ventures, but will become extremely ill-disposed towards those around him.
“Chamatkar Chintamani” — the receipt of wealth from the king and the ownership of various kinds of property await the owner of the horoscope. He will fight his enemies courageously, but his children will not bring him happiness.
Note: All the classical texts mention the attainment of wealth with the placement of the Sun in the 11th house.

The results of the placement of the Sun in the 11th house
If Surya is placed in the 11th Bhava, then the person will love music and singing, will perform auspicious deeds, will obtain fame and honours, will be very wealthy and will obtain income thanks to the king <the government>.
Comments: If in the 11th Bhava [house] Surya [the Sun] is endowed with strength, then the person makes great plans and achieves success in them. A person with this combination in his birth chart is somewhat ambitious, and his aspirations are chiefly fulfilled. He obtains financial profit on a large scale and possesses the patronage of his friends and of high officials in society. He, as a rule, achieves success in attaining his aims.
the Sun in the 11th house
The 11th house personifies plans for the future, a person’s income from business, prospects of development, dreams. The Sun in this house gives the person confidence and security in planning the future.
People with such a combination always keep their undertakings and dreams secret. Such behaviour considerably increases their self-belief and their possibilities of achieving what they desire.
Dreaming and reverie impart strength and self-confidence. If the rest of the horoscope helps this combination, then the person may achieve practically any dream and plan.
With time and experience of doing what he loves, the person surrounds himself with a society of like-minded people and colleagues. He may act both as a “grey cardinal” and as an open leader.

Health:
The 11th house is responsible for the calves and the ankle joint.
With an unfavourable, afflicted or inimically placed Sun in the 11th house, autoimmune diseases of the ankle occur. There may also be weak tibial bones. Sometimes disturbances of gait and lameness manifest.
Conclusion:
The Sun in the eleventh house is undoubtedly a pleasant placement which is difficult to spoil. The 11th house relates to the sphere of a person’s professional activity, and the Sun strengthens this cluster of life, giving the person self-confidence, leadership, comfortable development and other joys.
A weak placement of the Sun in the 11th house is met quite rarely. The proof of this is the rarity and specificity of the “solar” diseases of this house.
