The 11th house shows what you crave, what you would break rules for, and where your money comes from. It is also the 8th from the 4th, so the same desire can burn the peace of your home.

In one minute

  • Desire: your deepest wishes, your obsessions, and the rules you would break to get them.
  • Gains: your income, and its source, shown by where the 11th lord sits.
  • People: the elder sibling, the chacha, the grandfather, your friends and your network.
  • Inherited desire: the mother's unfulfilled wishes and the father's projected ambitions.
  • Warning: an active 11th disturbs the home and starts an affair somewhere in the family.

What the 11th house shows

The 11th house is the house of ichchha-purti, the fulfilment of desire. It tells you what a person truly wants out of life and what they keep running after. It also shows the people whose wishes have quietly shaped those desires. Here is everything we read from it.

  • Fulfilment of desire. Your deepest wishes, your ambitions, the things you crave from inside: "I need this thing."
  • Your obsessive nature. What are you mad about? Where is your interest far stronger than it should be?
  • The rules you will break. The 11th gives desire with such force that you will break any rule, even a social one, to get what you want, for something or for someone. However it comes, it must come. Somewhere this house shows a madness in you, something you are desperate for.
  • Your network and social circle. How you network, the circles you move in and the friends you keep.
  • Gains. What you actually gain in life: which of your desires are truly fulfilled, and what you earn.
  • The destroyer of peace. It is the 8th from the 4th house, so it sets fire to the home and eats into its peace and happiness.
  • The elder sibling. The brother or sister born just before you: the relationship, their traits and their influence on you.
  • The mother's hidden matters. Being the 8th from the mother, it holds what you do not know about her: her secrets, her interest in the occult or research, and her desires that were never fulfilled, the things she wanted and never got. "Hidden affairs" here does not mean bad things. But what you do not know about your mother actually comes into your life as anarth, misfortune; we will see that later.
  • The spouse's affairs. It is the 5th from the 7th, so we also see your partner's romantic interests here.
  • The chacha. Your father's brother.
  • The grandfather's business or married life. The 11th is the 7th house counted from the father's father.
  • The father's subconscious. It is the 3rd from the 9th, so it carries the achievements your father wanted and could not reach.

Nobody follows rules and regulations in the 11th house.

Why desire burns the home

The 11th is the 8th house counted from the 4th, and the 4th is your home and your inner peace. So the pursuit of what the 11th wants keeps disturbing the peace of the 4th.

It works the other way round too. Whenever we become very comfortable, we lose our job, because we are resting too much in the 4th house and the 11th, the salary, starts to dry up. If you make the 4th house very strong in a man's chart, his 11th starts to weaken.

This is why sadhus and mahatmas, who have mastered their emotional body, do not fall into the trap of desire at all. They stay atmaram, content in the self. And so they have no salary.

You are being programmed

When a child is born, its desires come from both the mother and the father. The 11th house is where that inheritance shows.

From the mother. The 11th is the 8th from the 4th, so the mother's desires that were never fulfilled sit here, carried inside the child. She shows you the picture of what she could never achieve herself.

From the father. The 11th is the 3rd from the 9th, the father's subconscious. Whatever the father could not earn, whatever seems right to him, he places in front of you as your goal: "This one will do it." The 3rd from him is his house of achievements and medals. This is how your father trains you.

From the rest of the family. The grandfather's energy enters this house, and so do the uncle's and the elder sibling's.

So in the 11th you are being heavily programmed. Many people have a hand in it. That is why it is such a karmic house, and why there is so much frequency in it. Read this part twice. Your desires, and the way they were planted in you, all come from here.

Quick reads from the 11th

The house always decides the event, so learn to hear the 11th in what people say. When I go round the twelve houses quickly, these are the reads that come from here:

  • A job or a salary is coming: the 11th must activate.
  • His desires keep getting fulfilled, right from childhood: Budha or Chandra in the 11th.
  • His social circle is huge, and everybody knows him: Brihaspati in the 11th.
  • He earns so much that it looks as if he prints notes: the 11th house.

Where your money comes from

The grahas in the 11th strongly shape how you earn, what kind of friends you have and what you obsess over. Several grahas in the 11th mean several sources of income. And the house where the 11th lord sits tells you where the money comes from. Keep in mind too that the 11th house has a connection with the 8th.

11th lord in Money comes from
1st (lagna) The person himself becomes the brand
2nd Paternal property, the lineage, food, or speech
3rd A hobby
4th Home and rental income
5th Education, or the government
6th Daily activity, or disease, debt and enemies (roga, rina, shatru)
8th The occult, or bribery
12th Abroad; or the money is earned and then lost

When the lagna lord sits in the 11th and the 11th lord sits in the lagna, the two exchange places. That exchange is a very good rajayoga.

Other lords in the 11th

Wherever the lagna lord goes, the person puts most of his energy there; that is where he stays most engaged. With the lagna lord in the 11th, he depends on his elder siblings and on his own groups.

With the 7th lord in the 11th, ask: to whom does the wife give things? To her friend circle, her close friends. So you must also ask whether there is an extramarital affair or not.

The grahas in the 11th house

Each graha brings its own kind of desire, its own friends and its own story in the family. I have laid every graha out the same way, so that you can compare them: what the person wants, who their friends are, how the money comes, and what happens in the family.

What I am teaching you here is prediction in great depth, so that you understand a person's haav-bhaav, their whole manner. If you learn this, you will already be a very good astrologer.

These are general results. Some will be very prominent in your chart, and some you will feel are not right; remove those. But most of them hold. I have seen them in experience.

Rahu

Wants to be the biggest name, by any route

Rahu in the 11th wants to become the biggest person of all. He wants a lot of money suddenly, and he wants everybody to know his name.

What he wants

  • An artificial, film-like life: food ordered in every day, vlogs, trips to Dubai, Thailand and the beaches, to all the very rich places.
  • The top floor of a building, big corporate life, business-class travel.
  • Desires so big that you cannot even imagine them: "Everybody must know me."

Friends and network

  • A master networker and salesman who can talk his way into anything. Say anything anywhere, and he gets the work done.
  • Very good at digital marketing, expanding a business and building his own brand.
  • Whenever Rahu builds something, he copies. He turns Frooti into "Tutti" and Kurkure into "Murmure".

Money

  • Quick wealth: trading, stocks, Bitcoin, crypto, anything new.
  • Here Rahu can also give frauds and scams.
  • He naturally opposes the government and bends its rules.

Family

  • The father is a great salesman, an expert talker who tells tall stories.
  • The mother's life with her in-laws is toxic. She faces fraud, gets no respect and fights over money, because Rahu sits in the 8th from her.
  • There is conflict with the chacha.

Brihaspati

The friend of all, and the luck in the room

Jupiter in the 11th is a friend of all, and nobody can make an enemy of him. He is the key to everybody's problems, the one you call when something has to be done: "Please get this work of mine done." Jupiter gives good results in this house. It is a very powerful placement and a good combination.

Friends and network

  • He desires high-level, faithful networking.
  • A great many contacts, and they are faithful contacts with important people, not small-time ones.
  • I will give you this in writing: he may be young today, but as he grows, so will his circle of trustworthy, good people.
  • His friends are successful and impactful, people around whom crowds gather. If he has two friends, each one has a big circle of his own.

How he thinks

  • Brilliant knowledge of finance and networking, built on real experience. That is a very good combination: finance, networking and experience together.
  • Progressive, and starts everything from the ground. Show him four investments paying 5, 10, 50 and 100 percent, and his first question is: "What is the risk?" That is Jupiter's nature in Rahu's house: he asks Rahu about the risk. He wants the deepest root cause before he invests in anything, and he thinks a lot first.
  • So these people are very good at exposing scams ("Look, this is a scam, this is a cheat"), and at spotting the hyped teacher who has no substance. They know who is truly a teacher.
  • He keeps learning, aggressively. That is Rahu's quality in this house.

Money

  • He is the luck factor. He may or may not make money himself, but whoever he sits with, whoever he joins, starts making money. Whenever he is with you, he makes money for you.
  • Money arrives exactly when he needs it, as if by grace. Even when he says, "I cannot afford this course," it comes, because Jupiter in the 11th always gives money for knowledge.
  • He habitually gives away about ten out of every hundred rupees he earns, to his mother, his father, to anybody: ten or eleven of every hundred. That is Jupiter's nature, and it is very good for giving.
  • He longs to give his mother gold and ornaments, and his father a ring, a chain or a watch, something for the father's wrist or neck. He always feels his mother never got the gold and ornaments she should have: "I have to give her these things." If your child has this Jupiter, you will be happy; he will keep giving you gold jewellery.

Family

  • The mother is fiercely protective of her brothers and sisters, even at her own cost. She cannot hear a word against them. Whatever the mama does, however he abuses her, however much they fight, she stays affectionate and devoted and gets into trouble for him. Jupiter sits in the 8th from her, and when Jupiter goes to the 8th, she ruins herself so that her brothers and sisters prosper. This I have seen.
  • The grandfather takes every decision after asking the grandmother. He is dadi ka deewana, crazy about the grandmother, and their marriage runs on that trust. This is because the 11th is the 7th house of the father's father, so he depends on her. Most things run Bhagwan bharose, on God's trust, and in business the family trusts the grandfather.

Surya

Wants glory, but only by the rules

The Sun is the karaka of rules, and in the 11th house rules do not work. The 11th builds a network, but the Sun wants a vertical one, with himself at the top and everyone below. That is where the trouble starts.

What happens

  • Theft is always caught. Lies and selfishness are always caught: wherever he thinks only of his own profit, he is caught.
  • He cannot evade tax, whatever he does. If he tries, he is caught and pays heavily. So with the Sun here, never think "I'll just leave it out" or "I'll manage it somehow". Do not try to get away with tax.
  • All his desires must be fulfilled legally, and with everyone's consent.

What he wants

  • Glory, name, fame and a large following, on social media too: "For my niti, my policy, many people should know me." He needs all of it, completely.
  • He guards his pride ("I only value my pride"), and always wants to give interviews about himself.
  • Degrees only from the most authoritative universities, even if he studies online.
  • Otherwise the 11th is not bad for the Sun. It is very good for degree courses too.

Money

  • A salary that arrives exactly on time and never stops: a government job, or any job with a guaranteed salary. "My salary should never stop" stays in his mind.
  • He dislikes private jobs. "Here today, gone tomorrow", like a YouTube career, frightens him.
  • He fears losing money, so he banks with SBI or PNB rather than private banks like HSBC, and invests only where the risk is low. "Nobody can run away with my money."
  • His investments go where the government is involved, or where the interest is safe, like mutual funds that carry little risk.
  • Slowly he becomes interested in politics, and in how the government eats your money. I have seen this in friends' charts and in many clients' charts: they are always afraid their money will sink somewhere.

Family and small signs

  • As a child he keeps demanding things from his father: games, extracurricular classes, later an online degree. "Father, we need this, we need that." And mostly he does not get them.
  • The Sun has a natural interest in news, and because the 11th is Rahu's natural house, he follows foreign news more than Indian news. US news hits him harder than Indian news, and he is deeply interested in global news and politics.
  • He loves films like Phantom, where the hero goes abroad, clears his name of treason and catches the culprits; or that old Hrithik Roshan film about diamonds, where someone has to be caught.

Mangala

The gang leader with a loyal crew

Yeh dosti hum nahin todenge, "we will not break this friendship." Mars in the 11th lives for brotherhood and gang-like loyalty: friendship, mates, roaming around together. This is the combination of a gang leader, a rangdar, a bandit making his group.

Friends and network

  • He builds large groups, and can turn the whole class against the teacher, or the whole team against authority. You see it especially in matches.
  • His friends are aggressive and quick with their fists.
  • A natural team leader who keeps many people together, and takes responsibility for the group. Responsibility in a house of desire makes him aggressive.
  • He does everything in a group, even study: "Let's get ten people and study together." He is fast at studies. Business or anything else, it is always a group, because Mangala works in groups; in the 11th this becomes his strength.
  • He finishes his lunch before the tiffin bell.

Money

  • It comes through overtime and group effort. He keeps making efforts to generate more wealth.
  • He spends on spicy food (Chinese, Manchurian), and on travelling and bike rides with friends.

Family

  • In some cases the mother has surgery; in others she has blood-related problems such as blood pressure or cholesterol.
  • A strong Mars gives an aggressive father who asks many questions and is quick with a slap.
  • Conflict over land between the father and the uncle.
  • Serious problems in the grandfather's marriage, and a grandfather who decides very fast.
  • In the maternal family, fights over land, money and authority; the mamas do not get along.
  • Because the 11th is the 8th from the 4th, the mother either breaks with a sibling or gives up her inheritance: "Keep your land, I don't want it."

The ancestors

Mars in the 11th is not an accident. This person receives all the merit, and all the sins, of his ancestors to experience. Whatever property and things his grandfather and great-grandfather built, he enjoys; he lives out their karma. That is why the ancestors matter so much here. So he should bow to his ancestors, offer shraddha regularly and keep them happy. Then his life runs well.

Chandra

The monsoon drain: plenty, then nothing

The Moon in the 11th is what I call a barsati nala, a monsoon drain, an image I take from the Lal Kitab. Once in a while a flood of money comes; then it dries up.

What he wants

  • Peace, moonlight, white clothes, white ornaments, pearls, fancy restaurants. He is very fond of eating and drinking, a peace-seeker who wants everything the Moon can desire.
  • Raag, songs, art and shayari: poetry and singing.
  • He stays troubled, because of his own desires.

The pattern

  • His network of friends is highly emotional.
  • He leaves courses and projects half way, then regrets it: "If only I had finished. If only we had not left it in the middle."
  • In class his body is present but his mind is stuck in the past. In any group he is often mentally absent, dwelling on what has gone.
  • He hits his own foot with an axe.
  • Nothing comes without tears. He needs money, clothes, things to eat and drink; he wants to go somewhere; there is a fight with the husband: whatever happens, whatever he gets, he gets after crying or an emotional outburst. Without crying he gets nothing at all. That is the symptom of the Moon.

Money

  • Seasonal, irregular income. Once a lot of money came, but money comes with great difficulty.
  • Ayurvedic doctors, herbal medicine, people who do medicine work, medicine shops, the arts.
  • Seasonal workers: something has its season for one, two or three months a year, and he earns from that.

Family

  • The mother feels emotionally dry and unappreciated by her in-laws, and cannot express herself. She stays bound, tied up. She says: "Even if I die, none of you will give me a glass of water."
  • He is troubled by his own children's behaviour.

Devotion

When his desires are not being fulfilled, he should go to Maa Jagadamba. These are devotees of Mata Parvati, and also of Vrindavan, Barsana and Shri Krishna.

Shani

Late, solid, and never spent on himself

Saturn in the 11th fulfils desires very late, very late in life. But when the money comes, it is solid.

Money

  • A solid salary and a stable income, often from government work. You will see government employees here.
  • He earns and saves, without enjoying it. He refuses to spend on his own comfort. He only keeps depositing it. This is natural here; I have seen it.

How he works

  • Very hard-working in studies, strong-headed, working alone.
  • He desires stability, yet constantly doubts himself.
  • He knows nothing will come in one go, or without being ground down.

Friends and network

  • Friends who are poor, lazy, or addicted to gambling, drink or cigarettes.
  • They lie to extract money from him, keep taking, and give nothing back. Be careful here.
  • He judges the government, and whoever is his manager or boss.

Family

  • The elder sibling works hard, but speaks harshly and delays things on purpose, to irritate him. He is very slow, and you will get irritated with him. The 11th is the elder sibling's own lagna, so Shani sits right on him.
  • The father is slow. News reaches him late, he responds late, he finds fault ("this won't work"), and he does not accept anything new quickly. One chart comes to my mind where that father's slowness drove me mad.
  • The mother may face a very painful, long-drawn death, one that drags on and on, so a remedy should be done.

Health and devotion

  • It can give health issues, so take care.
  • With Ketu beside Shani here, you will find devotees of Shiva: "Baba ka sahara hai," Baba is my support.

Ketu

Half the desires, all the pilgrimages

Ketu in the 11th fulfils only half of a person's desires, so there is constant anxiety: "Why do my desires not come true?"

What he wants

  • Complete solitude. He does not want to be disturbed: "Nobody should disturb me."
  • Very focused and passionate about study, but not ordinary study. This is Rahu's house, so it is deep study of the occult, coding and research, and fast-money subjects like Bitcoin, stocks and the stock market.

Gifts

  • He senses in advance when someone is about to die, suffer a loss, or go bankrupt, about to be ruined. It is a strong intuition, a sixth sense. He will tell you at once who is about to go bankrupt.
  • Any spiritual desire is granted at once. Char Dham, Vaishno Devi, Vrindavan, Mayapur, the mountains: the trip and the leave always work out, without obstacles. Whenever he sets out on any work of dharma, it somehow gets done.

Friends and money

  • Sorrow and dissatisfaction from partners.
  • He cannot charge for his help, and often works for free. Offer him a share ("this client came through you, take two, three, four hundred rupees") and he refuses: "I don't want it. Give it to someone else." He even donates his salary. I have seen it in my experience. It is a good quality.

Family

  • The father becomes forgetful; it is like a forgetfulness illness.
  • Many people betray the father, usually his own younger brother. Or there is no such brother (you have no chacha), or there is no bond with him, and the family stays troubled by it. I have generally seen that this also disturbs the happiness of the life partner.
  • The aunt or sister-in-law is aggressive.
  • The mama keeps large amounts of cash in his bedroom, along with every kind of TV and gadget.

Ketu in Vrishabha here

Vrishabha is speech, so he speaks very little. Vrishabha is also resources, so what he accumulates is punya, sannyas (renunciation) and mukti: "If I get liberation from something, that is my resource." He fears that everything will end. Here it gives a negative personality, so he should work on himself.

Shukra

Money, glamour, and quarrels over both

In Rahu's natural house, Shukra forms a Shukra-Rahu combination: a Kubera-yaksha kind of wealth, and klesh, quarrels, along with it.

Money

  • A lot of money, and quarrels with it.
  • He does business, or, if he takes a job, a high-profile job. He gets good money. This is the combination of the rich, of Kubera and the yakshas.
  • Intense family quarrels and drama over money. When you hear the story of a Shukra in the 11th in a consultation, you will understand what I am teaching here.
  • A brilliant marketer who will use sama, dama, danda, bheda, every means there is.

What he wants

  • Brands, luxury, high-end perfume, very good restaurants, fancy parties, and showing off his wealth. You can tell at a glance that he is rich.
  • If Rahu is well placed, expensive old and rare liquor.

Relationships

  • Many friends of the opposite sex from school and college (just go and ask), and friends with multiple relationships of their own. Look at how many people in your friend circle have multiple relationships; you will definitely see them.
  • No commitment in relationships. Either he betrays, or he is betrayed, but these things happen.
  • The 11th builds networks, and when Shukra here goes into relationships, he builds a network of affairs: his affairs run with several people at once. That is why people with a Dhanu lagna, whose 11th is Shukra's Tula, get trapped here. Be very careful not to create a network of affairs in the 11th.
  • The spouse often thinks small, and can be shaken from moral values for a small profit. Many times the spouse betrays someone; I have seen people wreck something for their own profit. Be careful here.

Family

  • The father sings beautifully, but his married life has problems. If Shukra is in Mithuna or Vrishabha, the father has an affair in the neighbourhood, with somebody who lives close by. I am telling you clearly; observe this.
  • Whenever Shukra is in the 11th, the chance is very high that the father has an affair in the immediate neighbourhood. And the native too has affairs with several people, so be very careful.
  • The mother gets either a good married life or sadhana, and here she usually gets sadhana. Her marriage breaks down, so she is pushed to choose, and she turns to the occult and spirituality. She says: "My karma was broken the day I married." She stays troubled; in some charts you will see this very prominently.
  • Not every combination will hold. But if the 11th lord also connects with the 4th, it gives an affair between the mother and the uncle.

A small sign

The legs are attractive.

I teach these family patterns as an astrologer, so that when you look at a chart you recognise them. Please do not take them personally. I teach them for a good purpose.

Budha

Sees money in everything

Mercury in the 11th is a superb consultant who finds money in everything.

Money

  • At least three sources of income: mutual funds, stocks, FDs and bonds, the stock market, cyber security, coding, online gaming, satta and gambling, cards, and money from schemes.
  • He regularly invests in bonds somewhere, wherever there is a lot of paper.
  • Several degrees.
  • Strong in marketing. Some of my clients with a million followers on Instagram (one, one and a half million) have an 11th like this.

Friends

  • He makes friends purely to make money. Wherever money is coming from, he makes that person his brother, sister, didi or mother, and takes money from him. He will call you brother to close the deal.

Papers

  • Licences and documents go missing. He forgets his driving licence; the Aadhaar card has a problem; his name is misspelt in official papers. And the errors keep repeating.
  • Take this prediction seriously.

The cunning uncle

  • A sweet-talking chacha, a shatir chacha who is very sharp at getting his own work done, repeatedly cheats the father in paperwork and steals money while acting sweet.
  • Whoever takes money from this person talks sweetly while taking it, then twists out of returning it. He plays the "younger brother" and runs off with the money.
  • Even when he is standing next to you, you cannot bring yourself to ask for it back.
  • So warn the client calmly: beware of the uncle, or of your own brother, whoever it is. There is a Budha-Rahu combination here, because Budha sits in Rahu's natural house, and I have seen many cases where frauds come from it.
  • Do not get caught in the trap of any chacha when Budha is in the 11th, nor of the mama. Otherwise you will squander a lot of money.

Family

  • The mother's maternal side carries trauma. On her maternal side, your mausi's side, you will see in some case or other that she could not attend a crucial funeral. Listen, and she will tell you a story: a betrayal, a fraud, in her own marriage.
  • The father travels regularly.

The children

  • Relationship and sexual issues begin very early, in the children's teens.
  • With Budha in the 11th, the molestation of a child becomes very likely. Be very careful with your children, so that your own brother does not molest them, or your elder sibling does not molest your children. I have seen a lot of cases like this; that is why I give you these predictions. These are very deep predictions.

Every line here is very deep; it was written after a lot of research. None of these lines is random. Do not learn it like rice and dal, because I will burn your Lanka when I make you practise.

Two grahas together

When Budha and Surya are both in the 11th, mix their results half and half. It is a good combination. You will not scatter your money, and things will come to you comfortably. Your children's married life may face some problems, which I have often seen with this house. Do not worry.

When Surya and Shani are both in the 11th, the salary is good, and stable too.

When the house has no graha

A student once asked: "If Budha is not in the 11th, but his rashi (Mithuna or Kanya) is, will these results still come?" Yes, in a smaller measure, but in that same way. The grahas are the delivery agents. The rashi sets the environment; the graha delivers.

Remember

  • The 11th is desire, obsession, breaking rules, gains, the network, the elder sibling, the chacha and the grandfather.
  • It is the 8th from the 4th. Desire burns peace at home, and a very strong 4th weakens the salary.
  • It is where you are programmed: the mother's unfulfilled wishes and the father's projected ambitions live here.
  • An active 11th starts an affair somewhere in the family.
  • The 11th lord's house is the source of income. Lagna lord and 11th lord exchanging places is a rajayoga.
  • Several grahas in the 11th mean several sources of income.
  • Jupiter here brings money when it is needed. The Moon is the monsoon drain. Mercury needs watching around uncles, papers and children.
  • Surya wants a vertical network in a house of networks, so everything must be legal. Shani is late but solid, and never spent on himself.
  • Mangala here carries the ancestors' merit and sins, so offer shraddha. Ketu half-fulfils desires but grants every spiritual journey.
  • Shukra brings Kubera's wealth with quarrels, and builds a network of affairs; people with a Dhanu lagna get trapped here.
