Birthday Sun in the 11th house - Sunday School for Strange Girls
written by astrolocherry, People with Sun in the 11th house could lead a mass exodus into the wilderness. Her lustre is not a sunny spotlight and she rarely performs traditional hours. She conducts her own form of solar electricity to glow beneath vivid and one-of-a kind limelights. She has a way of leading the crowd while completely avoiding it, like a rebel seen fighting their cause, a loner that other loners look up to and feel less alone, a misfit that others want to fit in with. It can be a strange experience for the individual who can struggle with the old pain rejection, and yet become wanted or desired for those same qualities. Sometimes this becomes anger, and the individual withdraws and refuses to supply any demand, feeling like she already gave people every chance. And sometimes this resentment and self-exiling behaviours are repeated cycles she is forced to fight inside. The tension is that she is energised and raised by people, but she is also horribly heartbroken and hurt by them too. Her dreaming is done on behalf of humanity and her imagination is all about imagining a new nation for the people of the world. But then she can hide and stifle herself because she feels they don’t deserve it, or they would never take her ideas seriously anyway. It comes back to that inner tension of these contradictions, in this sense having the desire to remain authentic to her true self, but needing some form of acceptance or validation that she belonged somewhere.
The Sun in the 11th can make one quite socially unpredictable and enigmatic. She may interact like a completely different head on the same body depending on the company and setting, and in the early years it can be largely the result of genuine shyness or nervous trouble. She blooms in comfort though she isn’t afraid to make her voice heard and stand up for goodness if human integrity, wellbeing, and justice is concerned. Although she can be quite the social chameleon, there always seems to be that crackle of sass, sharp wit, raw heart, and good intentioned deviance, she can’t hide that little spark of mischief and mayhem in her eyes. There is playfulness and hide-and-go seek with this ego, but also seriousness at virtue at the appropriate moments. Foremost, this girl is a thinker. She could stay up all night converting her thoughts into fantasies and vice versa. And she could do the same twisting anxieties and suffering bursts of nervous pulses through her body. Her intellect is tuned into higher dimensions and it gives her that appearance of being ‘switched on’, like you can see the lightbulb of ideas sparking behind her eyes. The price she pays for her unique genius and slant of ease and talent can be an enduring sense of vagueness, maybe emptiness, or as if she will lift and float alone and into the end of outer space. It’s something like sensing being on the brink of her mind, the edge of her sanity, or that already losing her marbles. This is often the side-effect of an identity that radiates and demands and stands firm, then suddenly shrivels away to leave her in a seemingly empty place. It all comes and goes in double-lined waves. It’s all too strange for her to explain.
The adolescence and early adulthood can be the troublesome time for this placement. Friends can shatter this heart. There’s love in this heart for friends, and it’s important for lovers to be best friends foremost. Also it may seem as though the universe provides her with multiple paths at the one time, suddenly deprive her of everything, and then flashes her countless possibilities at once again. It can make her feel like the world is her’s. But it can be terribly overwhelming at the same time, and she can be consumed by this fear of failing her own potential, as if she won’t be ‘enough’ to fill in her own life. The years beyond 40 tend to bring ease with this placement, mostly because she has learned about herself in that time, and she now views herself in a very different light. She has learned the people who are the most important and who she is worthy of giving herself too, the ones that accept her for who she is and cherish those qualities that once made her feel rejected. She has found her niche and the group that love her for it. Many of the blessings that come with Sun in the 11th are delivered when everything seems the darkest. That’s the only way she could ever see gifts so rare and remarkable. She is meant to polish her diamond in the rough and share it with the world and receive the audience’s love. She cannot hide herself or her talent away, or it becomes a great loss for everyone - including herself. That they cannot hear her song, watch her dance, or listen to her speech, applaud her innovation, or experience her presence, or whatever her muse is capable of. That she will never be presented with the award, adoration, affection, or the love that people want to give. She is made to shine on that celestial side-show with a character that was written for her, and no-one else will do. And when she does - all of the love comes.
This is a girl who marches to everyone’s beat of the drum, but she does it with such cool and refreshing vibrance that suddenly the drum is the instrument everybody wants to play in their own unique way. She is a trendsetter in the sense that her disinterest becomes a trend in its own. Whatever she does, she’ll do it her way, be it sideways, backward, upside down, or in reverse. Anything you can do - she can do it wildly and weirdly better.
