Exploring the 11th House: Wealth, Desires, and Achievements Explained

 

Introduction to the 11th House and the 11th Lord

 

The 11th house in Vedic astrology is a very dynamic house. It is the house of desires and their fulfillment. Many of the problems in life arise due to these desires. The 11th house is located 8th from the 4th house, which represents peace, comfort, calmness, and harmony. The 11th house urges us to work for our desires and hustle more, which often leads to a lack of peace.

 

This house does not necessarily show what you will get but highlights what you want. For example, you might desire to become the prime minister, but you also have to check whether you have worked for it or not. The 11th house is influenced by the vibrations of the 6th house. Sometimes, you might feel like you deserve more in life but did not get it. This is because other vibrations from different houses also play a role.

 

Understanding the 11th House

 

The 11th house is the 6th from the 6th house, which is the house of daily routine, hard work, and similar activities. The hard work you put in results in the fulfillment of your desires represented by the 11th house. If you believe your desires will come true without effort, it is a misconception. If you did not get what you believe you deserve, it means there was a mistake in the 6th house, which has implications on the 11th house of desires.

 

Influence of the 6th House

 

The 6th house is also associated with jealousy and six types of Doshas. If you want to destroy your fame, start criticizing others. The more critics you have, the more famous you become. If you want to destroy your good karma (Punya), be jealous of others. The 6th houses karma will either destroy or fulfill your desires in the 11th house.

 

Balance and Respect in Earnings

 

It is important to maintain a balance between the energies of the 6th and 12th houses. Whatever you have achieved is not solely because of you but also due to the contributions of others, including nature. For example, when I worked on ships, we acknowledged that our earnings were due to the mercy of the sea. Hence, we always respected the water and offered something to it before boarding the ship.

 

The 11th house is the house of income, desires, and wealth. All the Dhan Yogas (wealth-producing combinations) originate from the 11th house. Always pay respect to the sources of your earnings. Many traditions advocate donating 10% of ones income. If you believe your success is solely due to your hard work, you are mistaken. The five elements (earth, fire, water, air, and space) play a role in your earnings.

 

Earning Through Elements

 

If you earn through astrology, it is due to the space element. No one can earn through astrology without the involvement of the 9th house or some element of space. If you earn through an element, you must give back to it. For instance, if you earn through the earth element, you should plant more trees. If you choose not to give back, adverse consequences will follow.

 

 

The Role of Bad Karma

 

Every Karma has some malefic effect (Paap) in it, as stated in the Bhagavad Gita. Therefore, do not be overly passionate about karma. Astrologically, the 11th house signifies the manifestation of your good karma. Whether its health or comforts, if you have a beautiful house to live in, it is due to the manifestation of your 4th house Punya. Conversely, if the bad karma of the 4th house manifests, you might end up in jail or confinement.

 

Malefic Planets in the 11th House

 

All malefic planets work well in the 11th house of desires. This house naturally belongs to Rahu, but it has two lords: Saturn and Rahu. It is the Mula Trikona for Saturn. Malefic planets continuously make you work for your desires. However, always remember that after fulfilling your desires, the next house is of donation.

 

Resources and Social Acceptability

 

The 11th house is the resource for the 10th house. It shows whether you will have enough resources to complete your karmas and who will help you. Malefics in the 11th house help you complete your desires. For instance, in Einsteins chart, Mars was the lord of the 11th house and was sitting with Rahu. His desires were fulfilled through electricity.

 

Saturn and Mars in the 11th House

 

Saturn works well in this house because it provides support from the masses. Mars, however, does not work well here as it leads to fewer friends and resistance to group work. The 11th house specializes in grouping and social networks. Mars works well in leadership but needs to control its ego. If Jupiter supports Mars, the native will have public support.

 

Dhan Yoga and Wealth

 

When the 2nd lord is in the 11th house or Venus (the natural 2nd lord) is there, it creates Raj Yoga. According to Bhrigu Samhita, if Rahu is in the Lagna and the 2nd lord is in the 11th house with Venus, it forms Dhan Yoga. This combination can make the native a multi-millionaire.

 

Exceptions in Yogas

 

Yogas might not work in every chart due to exceptions. No planet alone can give wealth; it requires the support of other planets. For instance, if the 2nd lord is in the 11th house but lacks support from friendly or exalted planets, it might not yield wealth. A strong planetary network is essential for Dhan Yoga to manifest.

 

Examples of Dhan Yoga

 

For example, in an Aries Ascendant chart, if the 2nd lord Venus is in the Lagna with Rahu and is aspected by exalted Saturn, it creates a strong Raj Yoga. This combination can lead to immense wealth.

 

Sun and Mars in the 11th House

 

If the Sun is in the 11th house, the native might seek social acceptance as a leader. If malefics aspect the Sun, the native may become selfish. Mars, on the other hand, asks for leadership but can be selfish if Rahu aspects it.

 

Benefics in the 11th House

Benefics like Jupiter and Venus in the 11th house can lead to people-pleasing tendencies. However, they might not be able to express their desires clearly. Malefics in the 11th house make the native determined and focused on their desires.

 

Challenges with Soft Planets

 

Individuals running Jupiter, Venus, or Moon dasha might face challenges in the 11th house as these soft planets struggle with fulfilling unlimited desires. Mars and the Sun keep the native focused and organized in their pursuits.

 

Desires and Their Consequences

 

Unfulfilled desires can lead to various problems, including diseases related to the 11th house. If the 11th lord is afflicted by the 6th, 8th, or 12th lords, it can be difficult to overcome these issues. The 11th lord in the lagna makes the native stubborn and creates Dhan Yoga, indicating continuous earnings.

Remedies for the 11th House
