Chapter XVII. The Mip-HEAven or Tenth House（续 3）

Any planet in the eleventh house, whether good or bad, has some significance in connection with the class of persons the native will be likely to meet as friends or acquaintances; but if bad aspects prevail the acquaintanceship will be followed by trouble. For instance, if Mercury is in the eleventh, writers, literary people, learned persons, and those born under Mercury or its signs will bulk largely in the native’s life. If Venus, musicians, artists, actors, etc.; and those born under Taurus and Libra; and many pleasant friendships and acquaintances will be made in social life. When there is no planet in the house, the sign on the cusp will often indicate the class of persons with whom the native will come in contact as acquaintances, and the position of its ruler must therefore be taken into account also. But asarule the influence of this house is lessened when there is no planet in it.

NEPTUNE in the eleventh house denotes unfavourable attachments, which rarely produce any lasting or satisfactory friendship. If much afflicted there is serious trouble and danger from friends and acquaintances. It signifies unique friendships, good or bad.

Uranus in the eleventh house denotes peculiar and remarkable friendships ; the native will meet with those who will either benefit or injure him considerably. Sudden and unusual attachments will be formed, and also sudden and unexpected estrangements. Much will depend upon the aspects formed by Uranus, also the general planetary positions, Uranus will denefit the native if he is able to respond to its vibrations, for this planet has more affinity with the eleventh house than with any other of the twelve. In one case it brought a fortune toa nurse who attended a sick man on a battlefield, although it gave her a serious disappointment through a drunken lover. It requires great skill to judge the true influence of Uranus.

SATURN in the eleventh house shows few friends, and these are liable to forsake the native, or give him advice rather ilian practical help; still the native will have a few faithful friends amongst those older or more thoughtful than himself, and if Saturn is well placed this will prove of real service to him.

This is an evil position if Saturn is afflicted by the Sun, Moon or Mars. If in the Cardinal signs failure is denoted, and probably ruin through acquaintances. If in Fixed signs, the early part of the life is subject to much delay and hindrance. In the Common signs, the native rarely

achieves his ambitions. This is not a good position for marriage,

JUPITER in the eleventh house denotes many true and fortunate friends, by whom the native will always benefit. This position gives a love of social life, and causes the native to do much that will bring him friends and helpers. If in conjunction or good aspect with:

ttt Mystical acquaintances and friends. Sometimes indicative of great wealth.

Hi Remarkable enlightenment and assistance by means of religious, philosophic or highly-connected people, or occultists.

A lasting attachment, from which much good will come.

If afflicted by this planet, a lawsuit ; whereby the native will gain or lose according to the general tendency of the horoscope.

Denotes fame and renown to the native, bringing very distinguished and honourable friendships.

Many benefits through travel and the public generally.

In the Fixed signs Jupiter in the eleventh house denotes pride and egotism ; in Cardinal signs, enterprise and progress; in Mutable signs, religious and domestic experiences.

Mars in the eleventh house shows few real friends, but several acquaintances whose influence upon the native is notin any way likely to add to his reputation. If Mars is in a watery or airy sign this position denotes friends who will turn enemies. [If afflicted by:

ttt Dipsomaniacs or very questionable characters.

If afflicting Jupiter, lawsuits and financial loss through friends. If Mars is strong by sign and aspect, but not the ruling planet, the native’s friends will overrule and dominate him, and their advice will tend to bring about his ruin: it is an unfavourable position unless the horoscope denotes a considerable amount of mind control. ;

THE Sun in the eleventh house is a favourable position. It gives the good-will of elders, superiors, masters, those who are more powerful or of higher rank or standing than the native. If in business, he rises through association with these and benefits by them, even though they may not be his friends in the sense of manifesting affection for him. If in some profession or public occupation he is likely to rise in the same way and be a man of some note. Socially it gives some degree of ambition, ostentation, respect for dignitaries, superiors, and the fashions

and customs of good society. The native will gain in reputation and esteem through his friends; will make the acquaintance of prominent people and those who hold important posts; will have definite ambitions and desires, and—if well aspected—sufficient strength of will or good luck to carry them out. It is a good position for material welfare and general prosperity, for increase of reputation, and for the holding of public appointments or positions of responsibility. It generally denotes a loyal mind and honesty of purpose, with a sense of self-esteem, dignity, superiority and worth, and gives success about middle life or soon afterwards.

VENUS in the eleventh house denotes much gain and help through friends, whose desire will be to forward the interests of the native, and who will help him by thoughts of kindness and goodwill, as well as by action. The planets aspecting Venus are important. If in conjunction or good aspect with:

© Gain and prosperity through friends, especially women. ) Love of pleasure, society, amusements, popularity.

ts A very remarkable love affair or attachment, where extreme disparity of age or other unusual features exist ; platonic love.

Hi A romantic and extraordinary love attachment, the result of some great fascination.

Great joy and happiness through friends.

Passionate attachments and impulsive affections.

If afflicted by Mars or Saturn, unfortunate friends. But no harm will ever come to this native through his friends unless he is inclined to go to excess in pleasure and indulgence. |

Mercury in the eleventh house denotes friends who appeal to the mind more than the feelings, also in a general sense those who are younger than the native; but if afflicted, deceitful and false friends are shown. The sign Mercury occupies will show the nature of the friends. When in:

Quarrelsome and assertive acquaintances. Dogmatic and stubborn yet faithful friends. Clever and accomplished friends.

Noble friendships and much help from others. Learned friends who are clever and well disposed.

Artistic friendships and good acquaintances. Treacherous and mischievous acquaintances. Friends showy and clever but shallow. Crafty and untrustworthy acquaintances. Faithful and sincere friendships.

Talkative and inquisitive acquaintances.

The native should be careful not to become surety for others if Mercury is afflicted, especially if by Jupiter.

Tue Moon in the eleventh house, if fairly well placed and aspected, gives a large number of acquaintances, either of a social and domestic character, or among the general public, equals, and inferiors: more acquaintances than friends in fact. It is good for family life and for the sociable and domestic side of the nature, giving ability to fraternise and mix easily with other people: it is also good for the native’s children.

It is necessary to note the sign that the Moon occupies when in this

house, also the nature of the aspects formed. When in:
