About this entry
The eleventh house is called Bhava in the Brihat Jataka, a word for acquisition, and Iyer's list for it is gain and earning. It is a panaphara house, the second kind of strength after the angles, and it also counts among the improving upachaya houses.
Eleven appears in two other rules of the book. From any planet, the eleventh house is another place where a neighbor counts as a temporary friend. And by Iyer's note Garga's school reckoned the lord of the second hora, or half, of a sign from the eleventh sign, and Varahamihira declined to follow it in favor of Satyacharya.
