I'm an 11th houser(Sun/Merc in the 11th), but I've never been inclined to networking and I've never had a tribe and in fact, I shy away from such things. I'd consider it a weakness of mine but on the other hand, something I'm really not too interested in. You'd think with Sun and Merc in the 11th I'd be a social butterfly and easy communicator, but I'm not. For one, I have trouble communicating my thoughts and putting them into words in speech, tho I tend to excel in writing. I'm not a connector, I don't have a huge group of acquaintances, and I find it hard to make smalltalk. I'm much more comfortable with one on one communication and deeper conversation and I can't for the life of me figure out what to say to strangers. I tend to go deep really fast which will either pull people in, or push people away. I'm a writer by soul and heart so if I have a 'tribe', it's with poets or people in a mental institution which may as well be the same, however the group of people I can connect with is so small that all the benefits that would seem to come with Sun and Merc in the 11th house are nixed
I find the 11th house to be quite enigmatic, tho, even more so than the 12th. The 12th house is easy to understand. The 11th house seems to have its nature enmeshed with both the 10th and 12th where it's most commonly described as being about acquaintances and collaboration, but also about the unknown, the unexpected, things that happen by chance and can't be predicted. Where the bridge between these two seemingly unrelated conceptualizations?
The other aspect of the 11th house question is whether it's ruled by Uranus, Saturn, or by both. I personally find myself more Uranian than Saturnine,...miles more Uranian than Saturnine. Saturn seems to fall in my chart as a planet of lessons even moreso than would be implied by its innate encapsulization and the heaviness, the darkness that comes along for the Saturn ride
I have a strong drive to create change in the world and I think this is where the idea of collaboration does come into play for me personally. I'm a very independent person and tend to feel easily overwhelmed by people and also detest having to work under restrictions, which means I favor solitary work. But when I do happen to fall in line with someone, I become excited. I start thinking of the idea of doing projects together, what we could do together to aid in that change, my ideal of what the future could be. I'm very artistic so I also love the idea of meshing various mediums together from different people to create something even grander, more beautiful, and more meaningful than would've been with one medium. There's deep idealism and drive. My vision doesn't necessarily involve collaborating with people tho, it's more if someone happens to come along who shares that vision, it excites me. otherwise I'm a lonewolf, probably to the point of detriment. It's the idealism and vision that would solidify me as an 11th houser
I'm basically just trying to explore the 11th house and bridge the gap between 'the house of acquaintances' and 'the house of unexpected happenings' as well as figure out if it's really ruled by Uranus or Saturn or if perhaps that even varies by person
