Friendship gives the couple a future together
Hand considers this excellent for almost any kind of relationship and especially good for marriage.[1] His reason is the enduring value of friendship within a shared life. The Sun in this house by itself gives no indication of sexual attraction; the strength being described is the partners’ ability to get along.[1]
A marriage benefits from being a relationship in which the partners enjoy each other as companions. A professional association often acquires a strong personal dimension.[1] That friendliness usually supports the work because the partners have a bond that extends beyond the immediate undertaking.
Common ideals sometimes become the main force holding the relationship together.[1] The partners look toward a future they both want and direct their energy toward realizing it. The Sun gives the bond a purpose beyond present enjoyment, so friendship grows through the work of pursuing that future.
Social participation is another strength. The couple often functions comfortably as a small group within a larger one and enjoys company while together.[1] The relationship develops an identity that has room for friends around it. Shared life reaches outward, and belonging to a wider circle tends to reinforce the connection between the partners.

Allies and shared hopes give this partnership much of its pride. The couple often thrive when their bond has support from a wider circle.
Allies give a solar ambition room to grow
The eleventh house holds group enterprise and support from those with similar enthusiasms.[2] This is favorable ground for a relationship that can take part in a larger undertaking without losing its own center. A couple campaigning for a change in the law often find that their bond strengthens through the allies who take their commitment seriously.
A long-held ambition often finds a larger audience when the progressed Sun contacts Jupiter or the eleventh-house ruler. The opportunity usually asks the couple to give their shared ideal a definite commitment, such as accepting an invitation to lead the campaign they once supported from the sidelines.
By midmorning, the Sun is above the horizon, so this is a day chart. Jupiter belongs to the day sect;[3] a well-placed Jupiter trine to this Sun tends to favor patrons and a generous social circle. A Neptune square is more difficult when the couple invest their identity in a cause whose promises outrun its conduct.
