Venus in the 11th House

Participation in group life. You enjoy the whole socialization experience, all aspects of it, and few things in life give you more pleasure than participating in a group. You join the group easily, naturally and comfortably. Mediating is your natural role in the group. However, accept the inevitability of conflicts, because it is people who conflict even in the calmest organizations. The goal is to lubricate the mechanisms of public organizations with grace and charm, but without compromising personal values. Appropriate behavior. You enjoy social rituals, and look forward to the opportunity to demonstrate your flair for high society. You are particularly attuned to formal gatherings with elaborate rules of conduct, because the tricks of the court (either serious or soap opera-like) are a source of pleasure. You are sensitive to how other people would like you to be because you want to be correct, but avoid the trap of artificiality. The challenge is to be both charming and sincere. Friendship, social circle. Friendship is connected with personal love. There is a high probability of friendship turning into love and vice versa. You may be attracted to artistic personalities, powerfully attracted to physical beauty, as well as those who devote themselves to the service of beauty. You respect social rituals. Your friendships are pleasant, sweet, and have a gentle grace. You want your friends to constantly enjoy you and also give you pleasure. The goal is to make your social circle a source and outlet for love and beauty in your life. Collaborative creativity. Collaborative creativity is a high priority and gives you great pleasure. Your talent is to polish the ideas and structures generated by the rest of the group. By being receptive to harmony, you smooth out the rough edges, calm people's conflicting egos, and at the right time remind the group to allow the creative process to happen, rather than create it with noise and clatter. Your creative role is to beautifully shape the group's self-expression. Accepting love. You feel loved when your beauty is recognized, when you are showered with gifts or love. You may demand to be placed on a pedestal, although you are too experienced to show such excessive selfishness. The problem is sincerity. You love to be charmed, and of course you charm back. Being loved is a role that attracts you. However, do your fans really love you, or are they just playing a role, pretending? Are you in their heart or just scripted? Perhaps there is absolutely no difference between the two, although this depends on the sign in which Venus is located and the aspects to it. The challenge is to embrace the archetypes of the suitor and lover in all their glory, but then step back from the rituals of love and experience the physical people who can turn love into something more than a dance. After all, love is a mystery.

The libido planets Mars and Venus have only superficial, transitory influences in partnerships and are only in rare cases decisive factors. We will verify this below by considering the mutual aspects of the partners. Only when the libido planets of the two partners form more or less exact major aspects to each other is it very likely that sex is the main connecting force. But when the libido planets of one of the partners aspect some of the other planets of the other, sex is not so dominant. The latter is much more common. Libido planets play different roles in the charts of men and women. With libido planets in the 11th house, ethical considerations predominate in our thoughts and actions. This also applies to the sexual sphere. Both sexual experience and personal sexual image must meet very high moral standards in our country. There is also a missionary tendency, although not in an extreme or deliberate form: we endow sexuality with a meaning that goes beyond the physical. We may even impart spiritual or therapeutic qualities to it. Thus, a psychotherapist prone to this tendency may enter into a sexual relationship with his client who has serious problems in this area. He does this in the firm belief that he will help her overcome difficulties. As a result, he can expect big troubles, including prosecution. But even knowing this, he will still take such a step, guided by inner confidence in its useful, liberating effect on the client. Such a person is ready to use his sexuality for an effect that is healing, in his opinion, and therefore noble. This is just one example of the influence of the 11th house. Another option, much more likely, is blocking sexuality and a tendency towards complete abstinence. Sex is considered to belong to the lower order of things. This position is also categorical. It is not easy for libido planets in the 11th house to find a balance point. Very often they invest their energy in schemes based on moral and ethical rules, which gives rise to a peculiar form of fanatical religiosity. At the same time, the lack of a love life is often compensated by sexual fantasies, especially characteristic of fire signs, or verbal sex, reading romance novels, etc. With a planet of the opposite sex in the 11th house, we prefer an intellectually active partner: our sexual partner must have a lively mind. We are attracted to people who occupy an important position in the field of science or have achieved outstanding success in any humanitarian field; we would like to marry a person who is intellectually superior to us and would admire him.

Such a person has many friends, most of whom belong to the opposite sex. They help him in his career and personal life. Often a person of his profession becomes a life partner. I have many acquaintances among artists and musicians, financiers and psychologists. He works successfully in clubs, youth associations and charitable organizations. He is prone to excessive idealism, and therefore, to achieve his goals, he needs to become more realistic. When energy is used incorrectly, one often chooses friends by mistake, which subsequently brings a lot of disappointments. Such people love to discuss their beliefs and values ​​with a group of friends. They are friendly with friends, who in turn try to justify their hopes and fulfill their desires. A life partner is usually chosen from the circle of acquaintances and friends. Often friendship turns into love and vice versa. The help of friends sometimes brings considerable profit, helps to expand popularity and helps to satisfy property needs and spiritual interests. Friendly women provide assistance at every step. The marriage turns out to be interesting and fruitful. The defeat of the planet may be associated with troubles arising from excess of entertainment among friends. In this case, friends may turn out to be unreliable and overly eccentric and bring with them scandals, losses and disappointments. Many temptations come precisely through such people, if there is no inclination to control the energies of the aspect. In these cases, it is possible to develop excessive jealousy, biased judgments and a tendency to manipulatively benefit from the disposition of others, or to live on the support of a friend. Professional success is often associated with the patronage provided by acquaintances and recommendations from friends, philanthropists and sponsors. Patronage of high-ranking government officials and famous political figures is possible. This is how dreams and hopes can come true. Activities in scientific research, technical invention, literature and the arts promise to be successful. Often such people become leading directors, psychologists, astrologers, screenwriters and esotericists. They combine exceptional intuition and rich imagination with sincere humanism; original invention is combined with a remarkable ability for needlework and precise execution of plans.

Friendly love adorns the Universe. This person is very sociable in a group; he is highly sensitive to the nuances of social relationships and always strives to be tactful and elegant—both outwardly and inwardly. With harmonious aspects of Venus, this comes naturally to him; when Venus is afflicted, a problem arises where his taste and manner of interaction with people do not align with the group’s norms, which can lead to conflicts. With a strong Venus, the group is primarily seen through an aesthetic lens—he accepts what seems beautiful in the group, while the rest displeases him, prompting him to either reshape it or step aside and refrain from participation. In general, it is natural for him to love the group as a whole, as well as its individual members, and if Venus is not severely afflicted, the group will also love him. (It should be noted that with Venus in opposition to the 5th house, there is a strong risk that this love will not fit within the framework of group work.) At a high level of development, this person gravitates toward groups connected with art, or his specific role in the group is tied to art. Here, the karmic task is precise social adaptation within the group, followed by its social and aesthetic cultivation. This person is loved by friends of both sexes; hidden homosexual motives are possible, especially with an aspect between Uranus and Venus. He appreciates subtlety in relationships, external beauty in friends, and is drawn to their social status and connections. With harmonious aspects of Venus, friendships with people from higher social strata are likely. When Venus is afflicted, matters of social status and the romantic entanglements of friends become acute—one must overcome elitism.

Gaining admirers among friends, friendly sympathies, popularity. Expanding social circle, joint plans, semi-friendly-semi-romantic connections. This year, plans related to matters indicated by the cusp of the solar 11th house in the radix or managed by Venus in the solar chart come to fruition. Generally, a year of realizing hopes and implementing projects (often even with poor aspects, indicating only difficulties in execution). The realization of plans regarding a romantic relationship should be judged by the presence of aspects in the 7th house, as they show the possibility of continuing the relationship and its official formalization or breakup. This year, there may be the discovery of an unusual gift, for example, poetic, acting, or pedagogical talent. Enjoyments, entertainment, parties. Satisfaction from friendly communication. Help from a woman, friendship with women. May indicate the marriage of a child. Negative aspects reduce the chances of realizing plans, make friendly and romantic connections less satisfying. Give a tendency to delusions, a false ideological position, seeking in pleasures.

When positively aspected, favorable realization of plans, dreams, and ideas occurs. Everything usually happens as a person has planned. This is especially true for areas of life symbolized by the house in which Venus falls in the return chart. When negatively aspected, one should expect the realization of plans "with a twist" - either everything unfolds as a person has envisioned, only to be quickly overturned (for example, entered college, but was expelled on the third day), or plans are not realized, but the person will enjoy the development of events (for example, did not enter college, but spent a year enjoying pleasures and leisure at someone else's expense).

Friendship and connections through group activities. Friendliness with friends, so hopes and wishes are usually fulfilled. Many friends among the opposite sex and people of art. Meeting your partner among friends and social relationships. Friends often become lovers, and lovers often become friends. You are a very sociable person, looking for those close to you in spirit and quickly wilting without the company of good friends or people with whom you can have a good time. You enjoy working with others on team projects or social activities. You really like being a member of a club or some team.
