Friends and relations with them are determined through Mercury and 11th house.
11th house owner, planets associated with it, planets in 11th house, planets viewing 11th house makeup our friends.
A strongly placed mercury (in its own sign, exaltation, or on its own star) gives a person respect among their friends.
This person is treated with respect and his/her friends look upto them for advice and help.
Mercury shouldn’t be owning 6,8,12 houses or should’t be placed in those houses.
11th owner in its own sign, or sun,moon,mercury,jupiter,venus in 11th house gives wellwishers as friends.
Natural malefics like mars,saturn.rahu,ketu,uranus can cause trechery by friends.
Such people should be careful in selecting friends. This can be the other way if planets are debilated.
Saturn in 11th house (even if debilated) will cause trechery in business, partnerships etc by friends.
His/Her friends will use them and ditch them when in need.
Neptune in 11th house can cause difference of opinions among friends.
Mars in 11th house can cause harsh speech, disputes and misunderstandings.
Uranus in 11th house can cause planned trechery, non-belief etc.
If above planets are viewed by jupiter, then ill effects will be minimised.
If malefic planets in 11th house are close to 10th house or are connected to 10th lord, then native will be destroyed by his friends.
Moon if afflicted by Saturn will cause pain due to friends and lovers. They waste time of the native in the name of friendship or love and in the end cheat them.
If mercury is viewed by venus or jupiter (or) if sun,moon,mercury own 11th house and if are well placed(in 1,2,4,5,7,9,10,11 houses) then native will have good friends.
If 11th owner is in 6,8,12 or debilated or combust by sun, then native will realise his friends real intentions only after being cheated.
