11th House

In Vedic astrology, the 11th house (Labha) is the house of gains — income, friends, networks, elder siblings, and the fulfillment of desires. It is the harvest house of the chart: the rewards that arrive because of everything that came before it, the house of the wishes that actually come true.

The 11th house shows how you profit and through whom. It rules income from your work, the social circles that open doors, and the alliances and support systems that carry you forward. It also governs the larger hopes and aspirations that give a life its forward momentum. Its karaka is Jupiter, the planet of expansion and fortune.

As the house of labha (gains) it is read together with the 2nd (wealth) and the 10th (career) for the full prosperity picture. A strong 11th house grants steady income, influential friends, and a life where desires tend to materialize; an afflicted one shows income that leaks, friendships that disappoint, or ambitions that outrun their support.

Classical Significations:

• Roles: Gains, income, friends, networks, elder siblings, fulfilled desires.
• Karaka: Jupiter.
