Eleventh (Lbha) Bhva

The eleventh bhva is called the ya or the Lbha bhva. It also goes by the name of
Bhava or Hara bhva. Bhava and Hara are names of Lord Shiva who manifests in form
of 11 Rudras (one who makes one cry), thus on the basis of an encryption system used in
Sanskrit language, which is called Bhoot Samkhy (numbers represented by different beings)
we see 11th bhva also being called Bhava or Hara bhva. Another reason for this could
be that the bhva next to the 11th bhva, that is the 12th bhva, is connected with final
emancipation which is possible only after death and Lord Shiva is the destroyer. The eleventh
bhva, besides ya (income) or Lbha (profits), is also indicator of the elder sibling of the
Jtaka, his left ear and also hearing in general. The 11th bhva also relates to the friends of the
Jtaka, as a friend who is supposed to protect one as should the elder sibling. This bhva
represents the leg of Klpurusha, is an upachaya bhva (bhva of growth) and one of the
trishadya bhvas. It is said that all planets give good results when occupying the 11th bhva,
perhaps because they indicate the source or manner of income. Barring matters of income, the
lord of the 11th does not give good results in its own dash.
Let us now find out how the 11th bhva will manifest when we apply the Bhvt Bhvam
principle to this bhva. We find that 11th bhva is the 10th bhva from the 2nd and therefore is
indicative of all the work done to accumulate wealth and also the family career/business of
the Jtakas family. Being 9th bhva from the 3rd bhva it is indicative of the sense of duties
of the Jtakas siblings and being 8th from the 4th it is also the bhva ruling over the life of
Jtakas mother and her legacy. The 11th bhva is placed in 7th from the 5th bhva and thus
indicates spouse of progeny whereas being 6th from the 6th indicates diseases on a secondary
level and also enemy of maternal relatives. The 11th bhva is 5th bhva from the 7th bhva and
can indicate higher education or acquired knowledge of his spouse. The 11th bhva is placed
at 4th place from the 8th bhva and thus can indicate not only the ancestral house but also the
place to which his ancestors belonged. The 11th house is the 3rd from the 9th house and thus
indicator of the younger paternal uncle and valour of the Jtakas father, as also the way
sense of duty of Jtaka might manifest. Again being the 2nd from the 10th bhva it indicates
the wealth earned by the Jtaka, through his career, as opposed to wealth in general. We also
find that the 11th bhva is placed in the 12th house from the 12th bhva and thus indicative of
loss of expenditure, which in practical terms would mean that the 11th being stronger than the
12th will indicate that the Jtakas income will be higher than his spending.
One can easily understand from this that whenever there are benefic influences on the 11 th
bhva the way he earns will be by good means while malefic influences there can indicate
earning through malefic means. Now, one has to understand that in the matter of earning, it is
necessary to remember that one should not jump to conclusion without looking at influences
on the 5th and 9th bhva also, simultaneously, before declaring the earning being through good
or bad means. This is so as malefics influencing might merely be indicative of source of his
income through trades/career indicated by such malefics. An example would be Rhu
occupying the 11th which could be indicative of the Jtaka earning through dishonest means
and theft as these qualities are attributed to Rhu. However if we understand that Rhu is also
referred to as MlecCha (foreigner) and an outcaste, it is quite possible that one might earn
from foreigners, outcastes or career that is non-traditional if there are benefic influences on
5th or 9th or both the 5th or 9th bhvas. In this case, however it is possible that his friends or
elder brother might not be straightforward and he could be deprived of some of his earnings
by them, especially if 12th bhva is under the influence of malefics.

Eleventh (Lbha) Bhva


Similarly Saturn influencing the 11th bhva can indicate income from coal, gas, petroleum
products, arial waves, work where huge data of material is to be handled and one which
requires hard work whereas Mars can indicate technical lines, restaurants, defense services
and so on. It is also well to understand that the krakatwa of the planet, occupying the 11th
bhva and the house owned by him would also be indicative of the source of the Jtakas
earning. Naturally if the 12th lord occupies the 11th bhva, the Jtaka could either earn in/from
distant lands or his expenditure will exceed his income. Similarly when the lord of the 11 th
occupies the 12th bhva, one can surmise that the Jtaka will be well advised to seek his
income abroad or he may find it difficult to earn in own country/culture.
We know that the 11th bhva is indicative of the left ear and also hearing in general.
Therefore benefic influence over it would indicate that the Jtaka might hear or like to hear
knowledge based conversation, religious lectures and good music (perhaps classical) whereas
malefic influence might indicate he liking harsh music, stories of war and strife or bad news
in general. Obviously any harm to this bhva can also indicate one being hard of hearing,
especially if Guru (Jupiter) is also afflicted. Thus the nature of planets influencing the 11th
can be utilized to analyze what the Jtaka may like to listen to and learn. The question that
might arise in ones mind would be why type of learning should be one of the attributes of the
11th bhva, when the bhva only rules over hearing? This has perhaps more to do with the
way ancient Hindus gave more importance to knowledge obtained through hearing it from
mouth of Guru (preceptor). We must remember that 11th bhva being the 7th bhva from the
5th is a bhva complimentary to the 5th which is the bhva for higher learning and thus this
learning will be higher level of learning obtained through direct interaction with the Guru
(preceptor).
One must never forget that the 11th bhva is placed in the 6th house from the 6th house and
would be able to influence ones diseases too. Therefore malefic influences on the 11th bhva,
11th lord and the Ascendant or Lord of Ascendant could indicate health issue in which the
Jtakas lifestyle could be a contributory factor. I shall not go more in to depth of this as I
have already dwelt on diseases, in depth, in the article on disease posted earlier. We also must
remember that being one of the trishadya bhva, the lord of 11th posited in other trishadya
bhvas, that is the 3rd or the 6th bhva can be indicative of a rjyoga. However this yoga
should not be applied blindly. When the 11th lord occupies the 6th bhva it can indicate that
the Jtaka will earn by dint of his hard work, but it is also true that if he does not work hard,
he might be dependent on maternal relatives for his income or may not have good relation
with his elder sibling. Same holds true for lord of 11th in the 3rd bhva, which indicates that
the Jtaka earns through own efforts but it is also possible that the younger sibling is wealthy.
Again one must understand that though generally placement of lord of a trishadya bhva is
not considered good when occupying own bhva that is not the case with the 11th bhva, the
saying being
(lbhe sarve grah praast||), meaning all planets
th
give good results in the 11 bhva. Of course one has to understand that this is so, in respect
of earning and not in respect of all areas indicated by the 11th bhva.
As has been our practice let us close this article by looking at the opinion of the learned
Vaidyantha who in his classic Jtaka Prijta says:

Eleventh (Lbha) Bhva

Meaning: All the learned sages have told (astrologers) to analyze earning of all types of
wealth from the 11th bhva from the Lagna (ascendant). All strong planets occupying the 11th
bhva are indicative of all type of earning, whereas those in 10th bhva indicate wealth
earned through the career of the Jtaka.
