It depends on your ascendant
The same placement reads differently from each of the twelve ascendants, because the 11th house is a different sign for each — and Venus is exalted in one sign and debilitated in another. This table is computed from the classical rulership and dignity tables, not written by hand.
| Ascendant | 11th house sign | Sign lord | Venus’s dignity | Venus rules |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aries | Aquarius | Saturn | Friend’s sign | 2nd, 7th |
| Taurus | Pisces | Jupiter | Exalted | 1st, 6th |
| Gemini | Aries | Mars | Neutral | 5th, 12th |
| Cancer | Taurus | Venus(own house) | Own sign | 4th, 11th |
| Leo | Gemini | Mercury | Friend’s sign | 3rd, 10th |
| Virgo | Cancer | Moon | Enemy’s sign | 2nd, 9th |
| Libra | Leo | Sun | Enemy’s sign | 1st, 8th |
| Scorpio | Virgo | Mercury | Debilitated | 7th, 12th |
| Sagittarius | Libra | Venus(own house) | Moolatrikona | 6th, 11th |
| CapricornYogakaraka | Scorpio | Mars | Neutral | 5th, 10th |
| AquariusYogakaraka | Sagittarius | Jupiter | Neutral | 4th, 9th |
| Pisces | Capricorn | Saturn | Friend’s sign | 3rd, 8th |
Strongest from Taurus — Venus is exalted in Pisces. Weakest from Scorpio, where it falls in Virgo. For Capricorn and Aquarius ascendants Venus is a yogakaraka, ruling both a kendra and a trikona — a placement that outweighs most other considerations.
What it aspects from here
From the 11th house, Venus aspects the 5th houses. Every planet aspects the 7th house from itself; this planet has no special aspects. An aspect carries the planet's nature into those houses, so a placement is never confined to the house it sits in.
The 11th house
The eleventh is the house of gains — money that arrives rather than money kept, plus friends, elder siblings, and the networks through which opportunity moves. It is an upachaya house and, unusually, one where malefics do well: it rewards those who push.
Karaka: Jupiter · Signifies: income and gains of every kind; elder siblings and friends; networks, groups and social circles; fulfilment of desires
Venus as a planet
Shukra is the lesser benefic and the karaka of marriage: love, beauty, art, vehicles, luxury and pleasure. He rules the reproductive system and the capacity for enjoyment. Where Venus sits, refinement and desire go together — which is why the texts warn about him in the sixth and the twelfth as much as they praise him elsewhere.
Nature: Benefic · Karaka of: love, marriage, beauty and comfort · Day: Friday

FAQ
Venus in the 11th house — common questions
What does Venus in the 11th house mean?
Venus in the eleventh gives gains through art, women, luxury goods and social networks — a wide circle of pleasant, well-connected friends. Desires are many and mostly fulfilled. The texts are positive, noting that income arrives through relationships rather than labour. The 11th house (Labha Bhava) rules income and gains of every kind, elder siblings and friends, networks, groups and social circles, and Venus is the karaka of love, marriage, beauty and comfort. Classically it is a panaphara, upachaya house, which shapes how a benefic planet behaves there.
Is Venus in the 11th house good or bad?
It depends on the ascendant, and this is where most articles stop. From an Taurus ascendant the 11th house is Pisces, where Venus is exalted. From Scorpio it is Virgo, where Venus is debilitated. Venus is a yogakaraka for Capricorn and Aquarius ascendants, which changes the reading considerably. The table on this page gives the dignity and rulership for all twelve ascendants.
Which houses does Venus aspect from the 11th house?
The 5th houses. Every planet aspects the 7th house from itself; this planet has no special aspects.
Which ascendant has Venus in the 11th house right now?
Exactly one at any moment: the sign Venus currently occupies is the 11th house of a single ascendant. The card on this page computes it from today's ephemeris and says when Venus moves on. In a birth chart, though, what matters is where Venus stood at your birth — the free kundli calculator gives that.
Does Venus in the 11th house affect marriage?
Not directly. Marriage is read from the 7th house, its lord, Venus and the Navamsa. A 11th-house placement matters only through the houses Venus rules and aspects from there — which this page's table sets out per ascendant.
