Sun in the eleventh house
The Sun in the eleventh house shines among friends, groups and shared hopes. Identity is formed by the company kept: the network, the association, the movement, the long circle of allies. Purpose tends to be collective rather than personal, and ambition is expressed as a wish for something to exist in the world. These people are often given a central role in a group without seeking it. Objectives matter greatly. The requirement here is to know one's own hope from the group's, and to belong without dissolving into the crowd.

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 Sun 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.
