When the ruler of the eighth house is in the eleventh house, this means that your friends may have many secrets and a part of their lives may be kept totally private. It can also mean that they are good at uncovering secrets, research, and investigation.

Your friends may be interested in the subjects that are considered taboo, such as sex, death, or the occult. They may be involved with such subjects in their daily life, such as their work having something to do with the mentioned subjects.

This placement can also mean that some of your goals concern the occult, what happens after death, the death itself, sex, intimacy, the uncovering of secrets, private matters, and other subjects that could be dark or secretive.

If this combination is not afflicted and ruled by a benefic, it means that you’ll have luck in the mentioned subjects, such as escaping death, having healthy intimacy in your life, and being able to effortlessly uncover secrets as though you are helped by unseen forces.

Another meaning of this astrological combination is having goals that have something to do with managing or employing the money or resources of other people. This could manifest as wanting to work in a bank, as a talent manager, or as a middle-person of some sort (such as renting out the properties of other people).

It could also manifest as wanting to be in charge of mutual funds, or the funds of your other half or a business partner.
