Mercury in the 11th House
Budha in bhava 11 gives true speech and a sharp mind, which make you someone people consult.
Two portraits circulate for Budha, Mercury, in bhava 11, the eleventh house. The first stresses frank speech and happiness, the second a lively mind and a reputation built on knowledge. They fit together very well: people come to you because you know and because you speak plainly. All the readings also point to material ease. Take it as a background tone rather than a promise.
Mercury in the 11th House, day to day
Budha in house 11 gives you two portraits that fit together well. The first is that of a frank way of speaking, a source of happiness. The second is that of a quick intelligence and a reputation built on what you know. Together, they describe someone people come to see because they know their subject and speak plainly.
In your circle of friends, you are the person people ask for an opinion, a contact, a hand with a file. Your network feeds on conversations and exchanges of information. An online group, an association, a professional community give you energy.
The indications also announce a certain material ease. Take it as a background tint, not as a promise. Your gains often come through the right people met at the right time.
You may sometimes multiply contacts without really keeping them up.
A tip for living this placement well: choose a few friendships to nurture with a regular call. Share your knowledge in a group close to your heart. The quality of the bond matters more than the number of contacts, and your frankness will do the rest.
The 11th house is about gains and friendships. To read all about Budha, open the Budha guide.
