Mars in the eleventh house
In the eleventh house Mars enters friendship, alliance, collective life and the shape of a person's ambitions. Friendships tend to be formed through shared activity, teams, causes and campaigns, and they run warm until they run hot; falling out with a group is a recurring feature. Often this is the member who agitates, or who pushes the group toward a decision it has been avoiding. Because the house concerns wishes as much as company, the useful practice is checking now and then that the goal being chased is still one's own.

Which sign holds it
Under whole-sign houses the rising sign settles every other house at once. If you know your Ascendant, this is the sign your eleventh house holds and the planet that rules it.
| Aries rising | Aquarius · ruled by Saturn |
|---|---|
| Taurus rising | Pisces · ruled by Jupiter |
| Gemini rising | Aries · ruled by Mars |
| Cancer rising | Taurus · ruled by Venus |
| Leo rising | Gemini · ruled by Mercury |
| Virgo rising | Cancer · ruled by Moon |
| Libra rising | Leo · ruled by Sun |
| Scorpio rising | Virgo · ruled by Mercury |
| Sagittarius rising | Libra · ruled by Venus |
| Capricorn rising | Scorpio · ruled by Mars |
| Aquarius rising | Sagittarius · ruled by Jupiter |
| Pisces rising | Capricorn · ruled by Saturn |
Quadrant systems such as Placidus cut the houses by the angles instead, so a planet near a cusp can land in a different house from the whole-sign answer. The chart page shows both.
Reading it in context
A keynote is a starting point, not a verdict. What Mars actually does in your eleventh house depends on its sign, its aspects, its dignity, and whether it is in sect. Two people with the same placement and different charts around it live it differently.
