ELEVENTH HOUSE PLUTO

The House of Friendships - The field of hopes and wishes  

Detached or impersonal relationships. Humanitarian and philanthropic enterprises. Clubs, groups, and associates. Business connections and spheres of influence. The people who share one's ideals. Altruism. The rewards derived from the ambitions of the tenth house.

A prominent eleventh-house Pluto can foster associations with groups bent on radical social reform. Political activism is liable to cause trouble if one has been drawn to the losing side, or if care is not exercised in opposing the policies of dictators and tyrants. It would be wise to be exceedingly discriminating about the people in whom they confide, and to keep their deeper feelings to themselves unless they are sure they will be well received. Real friendships are few but intense.

Pluto is not very powerfully placed in the eleventh house, but it does tend to encourage the individual to become too concerned, and perhaps somewhat obsessional, over the attitude of friends and acquaintances. If some small action displeases the subject they are likely to overreact, thus provoking quarrels and upsets.

Other people's attitudes to the individual's actions will also be important. "What will they think if I do that?" may be a frequently uttered phrase especially in the not-so-young, who might chide their children with similar statements calculated to stop them doing anything that may upset others. Sometimes the objectives of a group or society to which the subject belongs will assume too great an importance - to the detriment of partner and family.

If these powerful traits can be directed towards philanthropic ends much good can be done. However, it is up to the individual concerned to keep such feelings in perspective, and not allow them to take over their life or behavior in any way.
