ALMUTEMMercury in House 11
Mercury represents the way you think, speak and learn. House 11 is the house of support and hope: friends, allies, the groups you belong to and the good things you hope for from the future. It's where life holds you up and gives you heart.
The eleventh house rules friends, support, hope, and benefits. Mercury expresses itself here at half strength (succedent) and gives this domain of alliance its ingenuity. It inclines toward clever friends, young or tied to letters and commerce, toward circles of study, business, or conversation, and toward benefits coming from intelligence, the network of contacts, and the word; hopes are fulfilled by the art of dealing, negotiating, and persuading. Dignified in its sign, it gives useful and ingenious allies and ambitions fulfilled by cleverness and good counsel; afflicted, it surrounds the native with false friends and bad counsellors and with losses through contracts and unreliable company.
