Did you know that synastry overlays are one of the first things to look at when doing a synastry analysis?
Sun in the 11th house synastry overlay will give us on overview of how our egos interact and how our partner’s creative expression plays out in our life; whether it inspires us or makes us feel belittled. And vice versa.
The Sun is our vital force, it is the main inner driver that gives us a reason to live on this earth, so it is a central part of the horoscope that shouldn’t be overlooked when examining the possible emotional and psychological dynamics of a relationship.
So, what does the Sun in 11th house synastry overlay imply about your relationship?
I will give you ALL possible versions of how this can play out in your life if you just keep reading.
Before I do that, however, I would like to remind you that synastry overlays are actually the SECOND step in compatibility analysis AFTER both charts have been examined separately.
Studying the separate horoscope of each partner is crucial, because this gives imperative insight into what each individual needs in a relationship. The separate horoscopes of both partners reveal hidden emotional patterns, which the individual may not even be aware of. The birth chart of each partner provides important information about how they approach a relationship, what type of relationship is most suitable for their personality and subconscious behavioral patterns, and whether they need to undergo considerable inner growth before they can mature for a long-term union.
Most importantly, the separate horoscope of each individual provides hidden trauma that may be sabotaging each and every relationship they form, which may in turn undermine this particular union if they are not consciously working on alleviating pain from the past.
The position of the Sun, Moon, Venus and Mars should be closely examined in each of the horoscopes, and so should the state of the 1st, 7th, 5th house and their rulers. It is especially critical to look at hard aspect between Moon, Venus, Mars and Saturn and Pluto. Challenging aspects with Saturn will give the individual an inborn inability to express love and would suggest a certain level of maturity before they can get married and create a family.
Difficult aspects with Pluto would suggest deep psychological trauma, an inherent tendency to manipulate and in the case of a Pluto-Mars square even a tendency for violence or attracting aggressive partners.
I have created two step-by-step beginner guides, which to a certain degree cover this very first crucial step of the compatibility analysis in the following articles, which I believe you should check out before you continue with synastry overlays:

The Sun

In the birth chart, the Sun represents the center of our personality, just as the Sun is the center of the solar system.
The Sun’s position in the natal chart – by sign, house and aspects creates the fundamental basis of our character, on which all other influences from the other planets are superimposed. For this reason, when we compare the birth charts of two people, we first pay attention to the relative position of their Suns. Although the streams of influence between two people flow through different energy channels, connecting different points of their horoscopes, the Sun with its representation of the ego is one of the principal channels of interaction that needs to be examined.
In synastry analysis, when we do an overlay of two birth horoscopes, your partner’s Sun falls in one of the twelve houses of your horoscope. In each of these twelve positions, it sets a certain color for your relationship and shows an area of your life where the other will have a strong influence.

11th House in Synastry
The 11th house has to do with friendships, based on common ideals and groups we join together.
This is why 11th house synastry overlays have a very strong friendship aspect to them. They indicate a relationship, where the couple should form a strong bond, due to a long-term friendship and a commitment to an ideal that may be humanitarian or futuristic in nature.
An 11th house overlay may form not only between long-term friends, but also between two scientists, working, together, for example. Or between people, who fight for a humanitarian cause; who volunteer together; or work on a technology project together.
On more simple terms, it may just mean the couple has gotten to know each other through social media.
Sun in 11th House Synastry Meaning
The eleventh house in your birth chart is the area of your friendships. If your partner’s Sun falls in this house, then your intimate relationship may have developed after a long friendship.
With the Sun in 11th house synastry overlay, at the heart of your relationship are a common circle of friends, common interests, hobbies, attraction to social events, social commitments, politics. All these bring you closer and makes you feel good in each other’s company.
Sexual attraction remains in the background with the Sun in 11th house overlay unless there are other strong factors in the cross-aspects that contradict that. But in some cases, it may be absent altogether. With certain personal characteristics, when both partners do not have high sexual needs, the relationship can be long and mutually satisfying.
The Psychology Behind Sun in 11th House Synastry
When one’s Sun falls in the 11th house of their partner’s horoscope, they may be able to provide the house person with the kind of inspiration that leads him or her to formulate their ideals more clearly and, in some cases, the Sun person may assist the house person to realize these ideals.
This sector of the horoscope relates to friendship and group enterprises and when the cross-aspects are favorable, there is every chance of a rewarding friendship developing with the Sun in 11th house synastry overlay. Usually the one whose house is involved is strongly drawn towards the one whose Sun is involved. The latter may occupy some leading position in a group, to which the other belongs.
When the man’s Sun occupies this house of his partner’s horoscope, he may regard it as his privilege as a friend to offer a word of advice on the way she conducts her affairs. Because he takes it upon himself to speak in a spirit of friendly criticism, his remarks may be all the more valuable on that account, especially as he will normally be prepared, as a friend, to accept her exactly as she is.
