What the 11th House Represents:

Let’s dive into what the 11th house represents in astrology. The 11th house rules your hopes and dreams for the future, what you hope will happen in your life and what you envision your future to be. This house is always looking forward, not backward. Because of this, the 11th house is also linked to change, and doesn’t like things being kept the same. That doesn’t move you forward!

　　Your friendships are ruled by the 11th house, and you can see the friends you make and how you treat friendships through your 11th house. The 11th house also rules groups, the groups that you belong to and participate in (and because of this, the 11th house also links to fame, which puts you before the masses).

　　The 11th house rules the causes that you champion, pushing you to make the world a better place. The 11th house takes a wide view of life and the world since it rules the future, and has better objectivity than most of the other houses. This view allows the 11th house to show where you can find causes that you pursue in your life.

　　Innovation and invention fall under the domain of the 11th house. Being so forward-thinking, this house believes in pushing boundaries and leaping outside of the box. This allows the 11th house to come up with entirely new ways of doing and being and thinking. The 11th house is the inventor and scientist, the rebel and iconoclast. Rules are more like loose guidelines!

　　Since this is the case, the 11th house rules originality and individuality. This house doesn’t want to be boxed in. It wants to celebrate the wild child! This goes along perfectly with the natural ruling planet for the 11th house, Uranus. Uranus is THE original. It takes whatever’s traditional and turns it on its head!

　　The 11th house is one of the Succedent houses, which are the houses that naturally link to the Fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius; the 11th house links to Aquarius). This helps to ground the wild energy of Uranus so you can do something with it instead of letting it grow out of control.

　　You can focus on your 11th house by the sign the 11th house falls in and planets in the 11th house. If you have many planets in the 11th house (3+), then the 11th house has a major influence on your life. You may be someone who is a true original, rebel, and does everything your own way. If you have no planets in the 11th house, there’s extra emphasis on the sign the 11th house falls in. An empty 11th house doesn’t mean you have no wild child in you!

　　

Harness the Wild Energy of the 11th House:

There’s a wild child inside of you, an independent, unique individual. Want to harness the 11th house energy? Embrace that! Embrace what makes you different and special and one of a kind.

　　Too often, we’re taught to shove that away and avoid being different, desperate to fit the mould society or family has created for us. The 11th house wants you to shed what you think you should be and be who you really are, warts and tails and fins and all! Don’t worry about the rules that are designed to make you boring beige. Be hot pink! Harness the energy even more with a crystal (and be super 11th house by creating your own talisman!).

Moon in 11th House:

When your Moon is in the 11th house, you can feel quite comfortable with being unique and different.

You can change pretty easily with the times, always staying relevant and in tune with the masses.

　　

Mercury in 11th House:

When your Mercury is in the 11th house, you can think outside of the box – way outside! You believe in challenging your thinking and making everyone question the status quo. If we never do, we never move forward! You can come up with wild ideas and talk others into seeing things your way.

You can be open to anyone and everyone, and want others to be free to be themselves like you are. Your wild child can lead you to success and prosperity.

　　

Saturn in 11th House:

When your Saturn is in the 11th house, you may struggle with embracing your wild child, especially in youth.

Then you can become a strong, independent force.

　　

Uranus in 11th House:

When your Uranus is in the 11th house, this puts Uranus in the house it naturally rules, so you can feel more at ease with change, independence, and individuality. You’re not just comfortable with it, you may demand it at all times! Being the wild child is a part of who you are, and others can be impressed by your eccentricities.

　　

Neptune in 11th House:

When your Neptune is in the 11th house, you may be a little different with your spiritual pursuits and beliefs, likely into whatever you consider to be alternative. Neptune can be a little foggy at times, so you may have a hard time grasping your individuality, but when you’re operating subconsciously, it can kick in big.

　　

Pluto in 11th House:

When your Pluto is in the 11th house, there can be great potential for you to be a powerful inspiration to others to be true to themselves. You may need to work on issues around power and control first, but once you do, you can have a strong belief in yourself and what makes you special, and show the way for others.

　　

Conclusion…

The 11th house may be the wild child, but that doesn’t mean the energy is so wild that you can’t use it. Understand what your wild child wants, and find the rebel in you.
