Co-tenants like Mars, Jupiter or Venus would give much better friends. While Saturn, Rahu or Ketu as co-tenants can give troublesome and deceitful friends.

     Having influence of Mars on eleventh house would ensure friends who stand by you during difficult times. Mars is hot headed and not afraid to speak his mind. As such natives should expect harsh words from friends in case they act naive or stupid. But when time comes to shove they would be the first one to help. With strong Mars there are more chances of male best friends. Mars in eleventh house means friends can impact relationship with family members as well as savings.

In case of male natives having Venus in eleventh house means their friends can help them find their future life partner. Venus is articulate, aristocratic and has a refined speech.

     Saturn in eleventh house can limit the number of friends and networking contacts.

Strong Saturn can provide friends who help you and work hard for your cause without any sort of expectations in return. Ofcourse a weakened Saturn in eleventh house can ensure friends who are jealous and with a very negative outlook towards life who can become hindrance to your progress. Saturn's aspect on ascendant from eleventh house means friends influence can affect mental thought process of the individual.

     Rahu is less ideal in eleventh house as it would give you pretentious and back stabbing friends. Rahu may give good number of friends but he would surely give one or two friends who secretly envy you and act as frenemies. On bright side strong Rahu can give huge social networking circle. If native can use them to their advantage than they can be of wonderful help in business and marketing. Rahu knows no boundaries, prefers shortcuts and loves to break the rules. This can give friends who encourage natives to take risks especially in business and stock markets. Friends can also encourage native to break rules for fun and try anti-social behavior which can land the native in trouble.

     Ketu is a loner and anti-social. Ketu in eleventh house would ensure there are very few friends. Ketu is without a head and directionless. As such natives are less likely to be inspired or motivated to do better by friends. Ketu is anti-social and a rebel. Friends may push native towards anti-social behavior and encourage him/her to become a rebel who goes against wishes of family and society. On bright side friends can help native heal when he is hurt and can also help him move towards spirituality.

     Many astrologers and clients claim Saturn to be natural lord of eleventh house. Its absolutely true Saturn along with Rahu rules Aquarius which is eleventh sign. But to suggest that Saturn the significator of poverty and misery rules house of gains is bit hard to fathom.

     According to Bhrigu Samhita the natural lord of eleventh house is Jupiter. Jupiter is the planet of hope and abundance. Its only apt that Jupiter holds lordship over the house of gains. Having strong Jupiter in eleventh house not only guarantees stable and good income but it also ensures lots of loyal and trustworthy friends as well as huge set of networking contacts. Saturn comparatively is far less ideal in eleventh house.
