Eleventh house (Labha bhava)
The eleventh house (Labha bhava) governs gains, income, fulfilment of wishes, elder siblings, friends and networks. It is where effort is rewarded, and almost any planet does well here.
Also known as: labh bhav, aya bhava, 11th house, house of gains, house of income
Labha means gain. The 11th house describes income and profit, the fulfilment of hopes, elder brothers and sisters, friends, patrons and social circles, and the left ear. It shows the rewards that follow from the work of the 10th house.
Jupiter is its natural significator and Aquarius its natural sign. As an upachaya, the 11th improves with time, and classical texts say nearly every planet placed here gives good results, malefics included. The 11th lord joining the lords of the 1st, 5th or 9th houses contributes to Dhana yogas.
There is a subtlety: Parashara lists the 11th lord among the functional malefics, because desire and gain can also bring entanglement. Read the house for opportunity and community, and for what you choose to do with what you receive.
