The Eleventh House

Spiritually considered the eleventh house, or House of Friends, symbolised by Gemini, the twins, expressive of the first emanation of this sublime relationship, the dual attributes, love and wisdom, closest friends. It is sensation and aspiration, which enable the spirit to attain to the exalted state indicated by the tenth house. 

Upon the reversed of the zodiac, the external human plane, the eleventh house is symbolised by Aquarius. Friends surround and welcome him. These friends are pure thoughts, noble impulses, lofty ideals, and generous deeds. The bread cast upon the waters of life returns to nourish and sustain him in his encounter with the secret foes from the twelfth. 

The eleventh house is known as the ‘Bona Fortuna’ or ‘Good Fortune’, it’s a succeedent, masculine, diurnal house, and is considered a house of major influence because it rises to the midheaven. Astrologers like Ptolemy and Simmonite gave it rulership over children. Lily also suggested it to be of equal power to the fourth and seventh. It’s associated with yellow and the legs to the ankles. As a house of good spirits it’s said to give a confident attitude and general resistance to debilitating disease. 

The house of friendship will show your supporters, benefactors and those that help directly or discreetly. It is the house of beneficial fate, positive hope, trust, praise, comfort, goals and ambition. It’s condition indicates fidelity or falseness of friends and it has rulership over promotions by recommendation from others. It has been said to show the Kings, Governments or Ruling Powers favourites, councillors, servants, associates and allies. It is a house of freedom, optimism and confidence that denotes personal strength. 

A well aspected eleventh is fortunate for any chart. On a larger scale the eleventh is the parliament, especially the ‘House of Commons’; town and county councils and infrastructure. It’s the allies of the nation, the resources and ammunition of the party in power. As the hopes of the nation it shows when the people are disillusioned if afflicted. It will show programs or schemes, social organisations and clubs that assist in humanities improvement, places and institutions that offer relief and shelter. 

In charts of conflict this house can be important to consider with respect to the defendant, positive influences towards this house can suggest emphasised fortune that equals freedom and release. The eleventh house will show any friends of the querent and step children (5th from 7th). It’s the profit increase from a professional endeavour and the mother’s money (2nd from 10th). Lily recorded that if a querent has a secret wish, the condition of this house will show whether or not they are likely to receive what they desire. He also called it the house of ‘comfort and relief’ and used it to represent places where we gain security and restoration. The Sun and Aquarius cosignificate this house while Jupiter rejoices here given its attributes as the great benefic.

The Twelfth House

Image
Spiritually considered the twelfth house is symbolised by Taurus representing the first expression of form of the human soul. It is matter in the most etherealised state. It is the trail of the serpent; the silent, secret, tenacious, negative principle; that ultimately draws the soul down into the vortices of gross matter and death.  Upon the reverse of the zodiac, the external human plane the twelfth house is now symbolised by Pisces. The idols, false ideals and vampires of his own creation, are to be cleansed and washed away by the waters of love, the universal solvent that is ever seeking to bring change and new forms; born again of water to make the round of the astral zodiac, until, having again reached the equator of the ascending arc, where he is reunited to the missing half of the soul, the true friend of the Edenic state; the highest point in the arc of human progress won; the honour and glory of a perfected soul; the Lord and Master, the ‘I am that I am’, to rest In peace...

Gemini The Twins

Image
The sign Gemini, in its symbolical aspect, symbolises unity, and the strength of united action, also the truths of matehood. The two bright stars, Castor and Pollux, represent the twin souls. The Greek myth of Castor and Pollux avenging the rape of Helen, is only a repetition of the biblical story of Simeon and Levi, slaughtering the men of Shechem for the outrage committed upon their sister Dinah by the son of Hamor.  Kabbalistically, the sign Gemini represents the hands and arms of the grand man of the universe, and therefore, expresses the projecting and executive forces of humanity in all mechanical departments. Upon the esoteric planisphere, the sign is occupied by Simeon and Levi. “They are brethren,” says Jacob, “and instruments of cruelty are in their habitations,”- which refers in a very unmistakable manner to the fearfully potent powers of projection that lie concealed within the magnetic constitutions of all those who are dominated by the sign.  The mystical symbol ...

The Sacred Union

The Sacred Union   Sex.. When people think of sex, they usually envision the passionate throws of a couple between the sheets, or some strange and unusual fetish like staining mattresses with exotic fruit salads while putting the durability of leather garments to the test, all in the name of one thing; The Big O. It’s rare, these days that anyone stops to think about the spirit and the soul. We say things like “my soul-mate this, or my soul-mate that”, but do we truly stop to think about, and deeply understand what that really means? Adam, Eve and The Serpent It would be rare to find a person that hasn’t heard of the story of Adam and Eve in scriptures. You know, God makes boy, then makes girl out of boy’s rib, they live happily in the Garden of Eden until that fateful day that the girl is tempted to eat the forbidden fruit by a snake. This story, like many in the Bible isn’t as simple and clear cut as what most may think. It’s an allegorical story relating to sex, lust, desire, an...
