Eleventh House: Setting and Significations
Just like the Zodiac signs, there are twelve houses in an astrological chart. In this series of posts about the different parts of astrology, I will gather my research on the significations of each of the twelve houses.
In this post, I will focus on the eleventh house.
[I will add to this post when I broaden and deepen my knowledge of this house, and make new observations concerning it.]

Setting and Significations
The 11th house is about our social life; the friendships we have, the groups and communities we are a part of, etc.
This is also a house where we can see signatures of our activism and the ideals and values we have on a social, communal, and global scale. This includes our hopes and wishes for the world. Do we want to make the world a better place than we found it, or do we not give a damn, or is it something in between? Is activism a priority for us in this lifetime, or not?
While the fifth house is about fun and play, “the 11th is the playground, where we share space and time with others and create a social circle of friends and acquaintances. Here we find our allies and supporters, those whose actions benefit us.” (Taylor, 2018, p. 112).
