How it shows up

You may have a wide and varied circle of friends, often including people who are unusual or independent. You are often drawn to groups, causes or communities built around new ideas. Your goals may change over time as you meet new people. The 11th is a succedent house. Its natural sign is Aquarius, and many modern astrologers see Uranus as at home in the 11th house for that reason.

Strengths

You are often a loyal but free-spirited friend who connects different people. Many people with this placement bring fresh energy to teams and networks. You tend to think about the future and how things could be better for everyone. You often accept friends as they are, without asking them to fit in.

Challenges

Friendships may come and go suddenly, and you may keep people at arm’s length. Some people with this placement feel more comfortable with causes than with close bonds. Staying in touch with a few steady friends helps.

In relationships

In love you often want a partner who is also a friend. Many relationships start within a group or a shared interest. The opposite 5th house is where you learn to enjoy personal pleasure and romance, not only shared ideals.

At work

You often do well in work with networks and communities: technology, social causes, nonprofits, online communities or team-based projects. Work that keeps you isolated may feel limiting.

When is Uranus in the 11th house?

Like the Sun, Uranus is carried through all twelve houses about once a day by the turning of the Earth. Along the zodiac it moves very slowly, about one sign in seven years, so the Sun overtakes it about once a year, every 370 days or so. At a conjunction the Sun passes Uranus, and for a few weeks around it Uranus moves through the houses together with the Sun, so it is in the 11th house during the middle third of the morning. About six months later Uranus reaches opposition, when the Earth passes between it and the Sun, and then it is in the 11th house during the middle third of the time from sunset to solar midnight. The latest conjunction was on May 22, 2026; the next opposition is on November 25, 2026. These are Uranus’s stays in the 11th house on four dates of 2026, in local time:

Uranus in the 11th house on four dates of 2026 (Placidus houses, local time)

January 1	Evening sky, 137° east of the Sun	4:04 PM to 6:28 PM	3:46 PM to 6:21 PM	6:31 PM to 8:12 PM
April 1	Evening sky, 47° east of the Sun	11:13 AM to 1:37 PM	10:55 AM to 1:31 PM	12:41 PM to 2:22 PM
July 1	Morning sky, 36° west of the Sun	5:33 AM to 7:59 AM	5:13 AM to 7:51 AM	6:05 AM to 7:45 AM

Calculated with the same Uranus, Sun and house engines as our birth chart calculator. Each row shows the first stay that begins on that date at that place. The angle from the Sun is measured along the zodiac at noon UTC, and conjunction and opposition dates are in UTC. Uranus is faint, at the edge of what the eye can see on a dark night, so “up all night” means above the horizon, not easy to spot.

Your Uranus sign with Uranus in the 11th house

Uranus takes about 84 years to circle the zodiac, so everyone born within the same seven years or so shares a Uranus sign, and astrologers read that sign as a mark of a generation. The house is the personal part: it depends on your birth time and place, and in Whole Sign houses Uranus is in the 11th house when your Uranus sign is ten signs after your rising sign. This table pairs each Uranus sign with the rising sign that puts it in the 11th house and lists the years Uranus spent in that sign since 1900. Uranus is in Gemini now, so a child born today with Leo rising has Uranus in the 11th house. Years at the edge of a passage are shared with the neighboring sign, so your birth chart shows the exact placement. In Placidus and other quadrant systems the house cusps usually do not line up with the sign boundaries, so Uranus can fall one house earlier or later than this table shows.
