- Birth time, birth place and house system
The eleventh house is a succedent house, the second to last of the houses above the horizon. It follows the tenth house, which begins at the Midheaven, and it comes just before the twelfth, the last house of the chart.
In tradition the eleventh house is the house of friends, groups and shared hopes: the networks and communities a person belongs to and the aims they pursue with others. It corresponds by analogy with Aquarius, and with Saturn and Uranus.
House cusps move quickly. The Ascendant travels through the whole zodiac in a day, about one degree every four minutes on average, so a few minutes of birth time can move a planet from one house to the next. That is why the birth time matters and why a chart without it shows no houses.
In the chart wheel the eleventh house lies at the upper left, between the tenth and twelfth houses, above the horizon and east of the meridian.
