What does its ruler, or planets in the 11th say about your friendships?

More nosey questions from me.

Libra is on the cusp of my 11th. It is home to Uranus. Uranus is trine Mars in Aquarius, and Sun in Gemini. It is laughably on the mark for me and my friends.

Way back when, two of my best pals (both male Aquarians), sat in the kitchen talking to my new boyfriend. "What are you then, Aquarius?" they asked, and laughed. It had never really struck me before.

Yet again I was in a car with an other very good friend of mine I hadn't seen for a while. "What's your star sign, then?" I asked him, "Sagittarius?", but I should have known.

It happens all the time. People I take a liking to and get talking to, when they tell me their birthday, odds on they are Aquarius. eg. Kids in class with mine, mothers waiting at gates, neighbours, etc.

It's not like I go looking for it and I do get on with other signs. Honest.

My friends combine very different traits. On the one hand focused, intense, transformative (transformation is a big issue in my friendship as well as trying to deal with some psychological issues), exhausting at times (Pluto), on the other hand some of my friends are unpredictable, independent, "different" (Uranus).
An interest in arts is mostly there, sometimes actively doing some art (Venus) and communication is a big thing in my friendships.

Also, I tend to have friends how have strong Pluto-aspects, Libra-Placements, Aquarius-Placements or Uranus-aspects, and for some reason which I do not understand, they often have Cancer-placements, too (Sun, Moon, ASC).

EDIT:

Blue Moon,

those friends that disappear and reappear again, I know as well. Must be an Uranus-thing.

Oh and btw my friends seem to reflect my parents in a way, since my mother is a Scorpio and my father is an Aquarius. And in both families those are the signs that are running through.

i dont know what a sag approach to friendship is like either

My approach to frienships?

Well, it`s not only about the Sun-Sign, but I do like to do a little bit of "philosophy" with my friends. Talking is very important, mutual tolerance for any quirks, too.
An humour - I need to be able to laugh with my friends.
I also value loyalty and honesty greatly; I am very comitted to my friends, as long as I feel that I am allowed to like other people, too. I once or twice had very posessive friends, int he sense that they reacted childish and jealous,w hen I even talked to other friends. I won`t have that again. It makes me feel like I am being suffocated. Nay, don`t like it.
But as long as the door is open, I usually do not feel inclined to walk out that door.
Closed doors are a challenge though, and I will break through and disappear more quickly than you can register.

That`s how I am. Don`t know how other Sag`s are.

" I do like to do a little bit of "philosophy" with my friends "

check - but i'd change a bit to a lot

"Talking is very important, mutual tolerance for any quirks, too."

check, check - believe me on quirks and Aquarians

"I need to be able to laugh with my friends"

well on this one i would say yes, but i have had friends that are fairly serious most of the time. i love to laugh, but my sense of humor is weird

"I also value loyalty and honesty greatly"
def. possesive friends arent my thing either...i like my friends to like each other. this Aquarian friend used to critcize my other friends- bothered me. so i suppose i am Saggitarian in friendships after all!

i have taurus intercepted though, and i'm not sure what it means. may be it means i'm not faithful in relationship (as not reliable) but to me it's not a problem because i know i will meet knew people. i'm not sure how to interpret that.

geocosmic valentine, taurus intercepted in the eleventh house, does it means that?

also i wonder if it's not to simplistic to see this house as the house of friends. cause i identify it more with the notion of ideals and concept (as in desire, wishes..) than really about relating. correct me please.

(ps: it would be even worse for me to have aries on the cusp and taurus intercepted if it's about ideals and not friends.)

I guess getting things done is more important to me than friendship. And my closest friends are interested in getting things done---or at least appreciating the need for it. They are not, in other words, just talkers. Sympathy, compassion, help (with any and everything) are other characteristics of my friendships.

interesting! i never considered that this is why ALL my best friends in my ENTIRE LIFE have moved away!! every one i've ever been close to! and, i always had a BEST FRIEND: someone i was extremely close to and bonded with. i guess this must be the scorpio energy! and i do tend to draw people going through a lot of psychological stuff. and, of course, the weirdos. but i love me some weirdos.

My friends are: Cap Sun with Virgo Moon. Cancer Sun with Virgo Moon. Sagittarius Sun with Libra Moon. Pisces Sun with Libra Moon.

As far as friendships and such, I have found that they play a huge role in my career. All my career opportunities have been presented by my friends, where someone knows someone who mentions my name and I get a job, a project or an business opportunity.

For some reason, my friendships are business and pleasure. Even when we are out, we are talking about contacting so-and-so about an idea, to hand in a proposal. We have a lot of ideas and innovation, which always links up with a way that we can make a profit, and an adventure..

But, then the mood of my friends and I is of lunatics who talk about the dumbest things also. On the outside you see these "serious" people but if you come closer, you will hear that we are dissign Telly-tubbies or something immature like that. We have a policy and it says: "Never Leave a Man behind..." so we are always looking for ways that all of us can benefit, grow together and motivate each other.

We believe that there should not be a link in the chain that is weaker than the rest of the chain, so we share a lot, assist a lot and are always checking to see if we are still on the same page.

I have also met my boyfriends through work or we have ended up working together in an organization or being partners in a business/project.

When I used to work in corporate, I never answered job ads if I wanted a job. I was either head-hunted by a friend, or I called up a friend to see what he can present to me. And currently, most of my work/money related projects are alive because a friend opened up a door, or because a friend and I came up with a business plan/idea.

I am also, amongst my friends, the "project manager" in most business ventures, where I am making sure that all aspects of a project are running smoothly by breathing down everyone's neck to have things handed in and having meetings set up and such. I am usually the one who writes out proposals and presentations for our projects. And I am always the deal closer, while my friends are always the "contact makers".

We never make plans a week in advance as far as road trips etc. We would usually just out of nowhere decide to cross the boarder. If we plan, it gets stressful.

We are a highly social group because everyone knows us, but I am the quieter one amongst my friends. I am the one who - after my friend has made a contact - exchanges business cards and follows through with calls the next day.

When we work together, say we have a deadline on something, I find it so much fun because I am always working with friends that I trust, meaning that things go faster and smoother because we put our egos aside and do the work that is necessary.

And, where my friends and I are in the same space, things are always full of surprises. When we are together ,it gets magical and we get lucky, so we also have a saying :"People are Nice!"

I have also found that just as my friends have hooked me up, I have hooked them up too. It's like we scratch each other's backs and I find that comradeship very comforting.

Regarding Saturn, I've always felt comfortable with people older than me. My closest friends are mostly my age, but some of them are a lot older (7+ years older).

Growing up, my best friends were always in my grade, but besides them, I preferred the company of older kids. As a 10-11 year old, many days after school I'd hang out at the local community center, playing pool with 15 and 16 year olds. Ah, my misspent youth.

More than caring about age though, for friends I like people who are spiritually and emotionally mature. They've gotta have a sense of fun too, but I find those traits often go together.

The 11th house ruler in Scorpio...I think that contributes to the way I form friendships. My friendships all developed one-on-one, just the two of us spending time together. I could spend time with someone every day for months, but if it's only as part of a group, I don't consider the person my friend until I spend a lot of alone time with him or her first. This is something I'd always taken for granted as a given with friendships, until I met other people who didn't need that alone time to consider someone a close friend.

The Virgo influence...well, I love people who are nice and smart. Who doesn't though? "I can't get enough of you, you're such a stupid jerk!"

Ruler conjunct Uranus...Huge influence! Probably b/c the ruler is Mercury and communication is such an important part of life and friendship. Most of my closest friends have a Merc-Uranus aspect. If not, they have a strong Uranus or Aqua influence. I feel free and stimulated in my friends' company.

The dominant signs with my friends are Sag, Scorpio, and Taurus. The only one that's linked with my 11th house is Scorpio. So, for me at least, the 11th house describes more my friends' personalities than their signs.
