Mars in the 11th House directs the planet's energy toward your friends and loved ones. The house tells you where the planet expresses itself; how it does so depends on the sign it occupies.
How Mars works in the 11th house
How you deal with people depends on your mood, which is often unpredictable. That can get in the way of closeness. In a conflict, you try to overpower your opponent through psychological pressure or sheer wit. Neither enemies nor loved ones can enjoy that. Acquaintances are wary of your fierce temper and try to keep their distance. Yet you're ready to stand up for a friend or put pressure on that friend's opponent. More than many other people, you offer practical help rather than advice.
You're often disappointed in people, but they frequently have doubts about you, too. For lasting friends, you choose the most active, spontaneous people—the ones with whom you could turn the world upside down.
What the 11th house governs
The 11th house in your birth chart concerns your friends, your inner circle, and your plans for the future. It indicates how many people you can count on and how well you connect with others, especially friends, relatives, and loved ones. The eleventh house describes your dreams and plans and predicts how far they may come to fruition.
What Mars represents
Mars's zodiac sign in your birth chart governs your energy: how much you have and exactly how you use it. Mars also represents decisiveness, a drive to act, a tendency toward aggression, your masculine side, and sexual desire.
