Sun in Scorpio in the Eleventh House

This is the sign of extremes. Individuals with their Sun in Scorpio are variously described as powerful, weak, independent, clinging, passionate, and cold. Clearly, you are a bundle of contradictions encompassing the best and worst in human nature.

With your Sun in Scorpio, the key to your personality is intensity. You do nothing by half-measures. Magnetic, emotional, capable of exerting tremendous force, your strength is hidden in the depths. In the sign of Scorpio the element of water is fixed, an image that suggests an iceberg or a bottomless well. You may appear impassive, sometimes unapproachable, but turbulent passions are always roiling underneath, invisible on the surface.

As an individual with your Sun in Scorpio, you live on many levels. While you present a calm and smiling face to the world, you’re ferociously persistent and extremely strong-willed. You’re also flexible when it comes to working out solutions. When thwarted, you don’t just accept defeat. You’re extremely agile when it comes to sidestepping obstacles and figuring out a dozen new ways to get to your goal. In a wonderful paradox, flexibility is one of your most effective methods of controlling situations. Scorpio is the most misunderstood sign in the zodiac because of its complications and convolutions. Basically, you always have a hidden agenda. With a Sun in Scorpio, you’re someone of incredible depth and brilliance, and your inner psyche is labyrinth of wheels within wheels, boxes within boxes. Even when you seem to be at ease and relaxed, you are always evaluating, figuring out your moves, working out strategy. Much of this has to do with control, which is what you are all about. For Scorpio to be out of control is to be in psychic danger. Nothing is worse for you than to feel swept away by outside forces. When you control you are safe.

Having your Sun in Scorpio, the complexity of your mind makes it difficult for you to skim the surface; you must uncover what lies beneath. Whether you are studying a new subject, learning a language, hunting down a fact, or just reading for amusement, there is a quality of penetration in the way your mind works.

For the Sun in Scorpio individual, your finest attributes—and your worst—are revealed in relationships. With Scorpio, relationships are usually complicated. This is not surprising when you consider that you can be simultaneously generous and affectionate, violent and unpredictable; in your sunniest moods there is always a hint of an imminent change in the weather. You are deeply loyal to friends but are also intensely jealous and possessive. You cannot tolerate the thought that anyone you love might have a yearning, or even a simple yen, for anyone else. With you, it is usually all or nothing at all. Moderation, restraint, and certainly casual are not in your emotional vocabulary.

The Inner You with your Sun in Scorpio

As an individual with your Sun in Scorpio, you have great strength, determination, and willpower. But no matter how calm and cool you appear on the outside, you’ve got a well of seething emotions underneath. For the most part, though, you keep your intensity under control by channeling it into useful activities. You’re a high achiever, and you seem to “get” things in a flash—with powerful psychic feelings you’ve learned to trust. Your instincts tell you that you’re destined to do something important and you’re not going to let yourself fail along the way. When you latch on to a new opportunity, you explore it in great depth before going ahead. Deep inside you is a gladiator spirit, and if you channel this fighting energy into positive goals (your continuing lesson), you will always be one of life’s great winners. At times, however, you feel you are a lone warrior in a harsh world. You’re a complex person who can’t always express how you feel, but one thing is certain: The things you want, you want badly.

The sign position of the Sun indicates how we seek to express ourselves, develop ourselves, fulfill ourselves, and assert our will and power to shape our environment. The house position indicates the area of life in which we choose to focus the energy of our Sun sign and fulfill the purpose which it represents.

Sun in the 11th House

The Sun in the 11th House suggests a complex identity problem, since the 11th House opposes the Sun’s natural house, the 5th House (which is associated with Leo). In the 5th House, one is free to express themselves in order to find their identity. With your Sun in the 11th House, you are concerned not only with your personal needs and expression, but with how your identity relates to the larger social construct, whether this be a peer group, a social group or society as a whole.

Having your Sun in the 11th House, you may seek your identity by relating to some group, taking your personal identity from your group identification. If you are a more complex individual, however, this becomes a naïve stage in the process of self-identification. Questions inevitably arise about how you are distinguished from your identity group. While your need for group identification may be strong, you recognize the danger that your personal identity may become submerged in the group identity. When this happens, the extent to which you can assert your personal identity and yet remain within the group becomes problematic.

Insecurities

As an individual with your Sun in the 11th House, because you are inwardly insecure, you give undue attention to yourself and you are unwilling to detach yourself from the ego even in the least little bit. Rather than develop an authentic personality (taking responsibility for your selfhood), you adopt a group identity as a cop-out. Yet, unwilling to shoulder your responsibility to the group, you insist on standing out and expressing your individuality.  With your Sun in the 11th House, you have no real loyalty to the group or to its members. Yet, you live in fear that the group will abandon you. You fear facing life without the support of your group identity. Because you have not developed an authentic personal identity, you shrink from self-examination, lest you find a vacuum. Thus, you become the ultimate “groupy,” throwing your life into the life of the group, but in reality having no life to give.

Focus of Self-Identity

With your Sun in the 11th House, you tend to identify yourself in terms of your relationship to society or to social groups. Thus, you are likely to have a lot of social involvement, particularly with groups, clubs and organizations. This can lead you to attach your persona to a group identity. Whether this happens or not, it is likely that organized social involvement will play a key role in forming and maintaining your self-identity.
