House 11

Lilly 1659 explains this house with a civic picture of his own London. The tenth house stands for the Lord Mayor, the first for the commoners and the eleventh for the Common Council that advises them. In a monarchy it holds the favorites and counselors, so its older sense is supporters who sit near power.

Friendship, trust and praise complete his list. Jupiter has his joy here, and although the house is only succedent, Lilly rates it as good as the seventh or fourth, unusually high for a house that follows an angle.

Sepharial 1920 speaks of friends, societies and companies, and Alan Leo, writing before 1917, of friends, hopes and wishes. Modern popular astrology expands that to networks, causes and the future a person imagines, while keeping the core of allies and hopes that Lilly already had.
