At a glance

Venus in Libra: the eleventh house for Sagittarius rising

Every Sagittarius-rising chart has Libra on the 11th house, the house of gains, friends, networks and wishes and the house of gains, an upachaya house. Libra adds grace, fairness and a need for partnership. The house's natural significator is Jupiter, worth checking alongside. The same lord, Venus, owns the 6th too, tying the two houses together.

Venus in the 11th brings gains through the arts, women, luxury and a pleasant social circle. In Libra, Venus is in its own moolatrikona sign (0°–15° is the moolatrikona zone). That gives it confidence and reach. Venus stays within about 47° of the Sun, so the Sun is in the 11th or within two signs of it; a Venus very close to the Sun is combust and gives its results more quietly.
