Both the Oriental and European Astrologers are unanimous in describing the eleventh house of heaven, as being the house of friends, wishes, hopes, desires, advisers, favourites, flatterers and such like contingencies. Mr. Wilson thinks the eleventh house of great power in nativities in a benevolent way. This, however, is by no means the case; for the author of this work positively asserts from his own experience, that when evil planets are on the cusp of this house, or located therein, they are increased in evil, in a most remarkable proportion, and are worse there than in the sixth or twelfth, and nearly as bad as when angular. The student will soon perceive the truth of this axiom, if he examines a few correct nativities.

In horary Astrology, according to every professor, if this house of heaven be afflicted by evil position or aspect, in any theme of heaven whatever, or upon any occasion, the querist, or enquirer, will suffer severe disappointment in the projected affair; and in State Astrology, it represents the wealth and money, or the "exchequer" of the government, and the friends or allies of the nation at large.

Zael, Haly, Abenragel, Adila, Gerald, and manuscript writers of " the olden time", state the eleventh house of heaven as being "the bouse of knights, esquires, ambassadors, and servants of great princes". Another author, Alcabitius, states that " if a watery sign be on the cusp of this house, it is fortunate; if an airy sign, it is typical of friends; if an earthy sign, it denotes legacies or property of ancestors; if a fiery sign, it signifies honor and princely credit". This of course requires some limitation if evil planets should be there: yet the Arabian Astrologers, it must be confessed, were far more clever in the art than the Europeans are, and in horary Astrology especially, the student will do well to attend rather closely to their rules, ere he rejects any part as superfluous. Other writers of the same period say, " this house signifies the money or substance of monarchs, being the second house to the tenth; and brethren of religious persons, for it is third to the ninth house; and children of enemies, or wives, or partners, being the fifth house to the seventh; also sickness of servants, being the sixth to the sixth house; and enemies and wives of offspring, being the seventh house to the fifth; and also the death of fathers, being the eighth house to the fourth; also religion and long journeys of brethren, being the ninth house to the third; and lastly, the private enemies of private enemies, being the twelfth house to the twelfth".

It is a masculine house, and like rules the legs and ancles, as that sign does.
