Eleventh House (House of Gains)

लाभ भावlābha bhāva

also: 11th-house, labha-bhava, gain-house

bha-11

Definition

The house of gains — income, increase, and whatever brings abundance — and of goals, aspirations, wishes, will and ambition (and the results acquired through them). It represents elder siblings. A house of abundance where planets are usually strong and favorable (though its LORD usually has a negative power); but also a house of excess and over-extension. Frawley flags it (with the 3rd) as departing most from the Western reading, which makes it a house of group/friendship.
Traditional

Prāṇa relevance

Mostly a gains/aspiration house with no direct prana link — EXCEPT via bhavat-bhavam: the 11th is the 6th-from-the-6th, so it shares the 6th's disease/injury/enmity significations (book p.154); a planet ruling both 6th & 11th is "doubly a significator of violence" and disease. On that disease axis it touches the body's vital state; otherwise not traced.
