It's time to get friendly.
By Jesse Oakley — Written on Dec 17, 2019
If you’ve felt like your number of friends has dwindled lately or you’d just like to have more, then I’ve got good news for you. When Venus is in the 11th house, it’s all about friendship.
So whether you’re an extrovert or introvert, it’s time to break out those social skills and hit up those gatherings. Who knows who you’ll meet?
What does the 11th house mean and what happens when Venus is the planet ruler?
Of course, Venus being in the 11th house has several advantages.
Along with just blessing friendship in general, it can also allow you to reconnect with people you’ve lost contact with, along with giving you the opportunity to make new friends and acquaintances.
But of course, not everyone is equally sociable, so how does it apply to extroverts versus introverts?
For extroverts, this works out pretty well. You’re already all about people, so really it comes down to adding to your contact list.
You also find that it’s easier to be the center of attention because you’re the one people want to be around. All in all, it’s a good time if you’re an extrovert.
Even if you’re an introvert, you still have something to gain. Not naturally attracted to others, you’ll find that it’s easier to approach people and you won’t dread social events as much as you might normally.
You’ll also want to strengthen your friendships with the ones you do already know. Overall, even as an introvert, you’re in good shape when Venus is in the 11th house.
The biggest disadvantage to this though is when it comes to romance. Because of the strong focus on friendships, any current romantic relationship you’re in could become difficult because your partner may begin to feel neglected.
However, if you’re not already dating someone, this is the time to look among your friends for potential suitors, as a longtime friend makes for the best lover during this time.
Friendship is something that’s important to everyone (whether they admit it or not), and for each sign, that can look a little different.
So, from Aries to Pisces, here’s what friendship looks like for you when Venus is in the 11th house.
