Sun and Ketu in the 11th house at a glance
When Surya + Ketu (Sun + Ketu) share a sign, a yuti, the chart fuses Sun’s the soul, authority and vital life-force and Ketu’s detachment, spirituality and liberation, and here all of it works through the 11th house (Labha), the house of gains, income, friendships and fulfilled desires (Upachaya (growing); natural sign Aquarius).
Each graha in the 11th house
Surya (Sun) in the 11th houseMalefic
Steady gains, an influential network, authority among peers and fulfilled ambitions; the Sun does very well in this Upachaya house.
Ketu (Ketu) in the 11th houseMalefic
Gains arrive but are held loosely, through an unusual network and desires that feel strangely unimportant; comfortable enough here.
Where each is strong or weak by sign:
| Graha | Nature | Own sign | Exalted (uchcha) | Debilitated (neecha) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Surya (Sun) | Malefic | Leo | Aries | Libra |
| Ketu (Ketu) | Malefic | None (chhaya graha) | Scorpio | Taurus |
