What It Means

The 11th house rules friends, groups, communities, hopes and plans for the future, and Mercury rules thinking, communication and networks. Together they give a mind oriented toward the collective and new ideas. You're good at connecting people and building contacts in professional communities, online and at conferences. Your friends are often bright and talkative, involved in technology, science or media. You love discussing the future, social change and inventions, and unconventional solutions often come to you. In a group you're often the one who puts the shared idea into words or runs the group chat. The challenge is friendships that stay superficial and plans that never get past discussion. Another trap is adjusting your opinion to match the group's. At its best, this placement lets you rally people around an idea and see it through.

Love and Relationships

In love you want your partner to be a friend too, someone to share ideas and build plans with. Relationships often begin in a circle of friends or a community. Give the two of you time away from shared friends and group chats.

Work and Money

Tech, science, media, community management, nonprofits, social platforms and team-based analysis suit you. You're strong wherever people need to be brought together and ideas exchanged.

Squares or oppositions to an 11th house Mercury can bring arguments with friends, conflict in groups or disappointment in shared projects. Clear agreements and choosing people who share your values help.

Advice

Write down the ideas that come out of conversations with friends, and pick one to make real. Find a community built around your work or interests. And now and then, check whether an opinion is yours or the group's.
