The individual often feels that society needs saving, and needs some form of rescuing and there is constant dissatisfaction with how civilization operates, they may place their faith in something only to be let down. Neptune tends to create a veil of illusion, creating areas that are sometimes difficult to see clearly or we like to imagine the best of a situation. Astrologers warn of making friends with unreliable people, to use more discrimination because there is a susceptibility to the influence of others. The individual is more malleable to the suggestions of others and this pliability could lead the individual astray.

Neptune in House 11 may have some friendships that involve rescuing and that are underpinned by emotional difficulties of some sort, leading to frequent storms, and in the end the person always finds themselves in the role of the ‘sensitive friend’ with a great willingness to help. However, there could be a betrayal in friendship, so they need to keep their eyes open and emotions clear. It can sometimes mean a loss of friends that are hard to get hold of again, and it could be a tragedy, through death, overdose, suicide, or drowning and it leaves the individual with a lot of guilt feeling around the area of friendship, wondering whether they could have done more to help. On the other side, it can simply mean that friendships drift apart with no clear sense of what happened, and the person may recall many friends lost over time.
The individual with Neptune in House 11 adapts their behaviour in groups, and the placement also involves the person making many sacrifices for the greater good. The 11th house is called the house of hopes, goals, and ideals, to move beyond bong concerned with the self, ego and personal issues and stretches up towards a higher goal and needs to involve itself in the larger scheme of things. We move upwards toward collective-hopes, collective-goals, and collective-ideals. All members of the group support one another, and have a common dream, which involves teamwork in all aspects. It entails all people with aspirations, a sense of meaning and value to what can be achieved with many like-minded souls, for there is no “I” in the team. However, it is not like the person loses all sense of who they are because these societies are based on the individual’s own values, longings and ideals expressed in a larger format. Nevertheless, there is still the danger of losing the self to these schemes and being influenced too easily by other people. The group may represent a place where the Neptune in House 11 individual finds salvation, escape, and redemption. According to Liz Greene: “Alcoholics Anonymous…which seeks to offer help to the individual through identification with a group of fellow sufferers…. Neptune is in Virgo in the 11th house”. Therefore, the author is saying that often these groups must share something in common, serve a common goal and symbolize a group of individuals with the same spiritual aim. The person is unusually sensitive to causes that can elevate the soul or blind side them; there is no doubt that much sympathy in directed toward the activities of the 11th house. The person feels a large tidal wave of emotion directed towards humanity and in some shape or form wishes to wash away the ills of the world and create a better world. With Neptune here, placed in the part of the horoscope associated with the future, there may also be times of confusion about their goals, aims and purposes, for things are always in constant flow and the waters are unpredictable. One moment the individual is carried by the currents towards one particular plan, but then they are floating again in the sea of other possibilities. As long as they feel fulfilled and are contributing something mystical, artistic, political to the group and aspiring to some higher aim the person feels a deep sense of emotional satisfaction.

As soon as they’ve reached at least one of their goals, they can end up thinking it’s not what they wanted or the opposite, that they need more of that thing. They’re the type who has to be surrounded by friends and to establish spiritual connections with others involved in different groups in which philosophy is often discussed. The fact that they have too high ideals is not in any way to their advantage because they’re often feeling disappointed, especially when seeing their expectations can’t be met.
