What it means
The 11th house, Labha Bhava, is a upachaya house in the chart. It governs income and gains, friends and networks, elder siblings and fulfilment of wishes. Mars (Mangal) signifies courage and energy, siblings, land and property, surgery and accidents and disputes. When Mars occupies this house, these two sets of themes blend.
