In astrology, the term “market” refers to any place where a person puts consistent, long-term effort to earn profits.
This is different from speculation, where gut-feeling, risk-taking, and quick decisions dominate.
House Governing Investment
The 11th house of the horoscope rules markets, gains, long-term investments, and financial returns.
Since Saturn is the natural significator (Karaka) of the 11th house, it clearly shows that:
Long-term commitment, patience, discipline, and staying invested over time are essential for sustained profits.

Understanding the Stock Market in Astrology
Stock market involvement, as per astrology, is fundamentally about:
-
Staying invested for long periods
-
Patience
-
Strategy
-
Understanding cycles
-
Avoiding emotional decisions
Thus it is linked strongly to the 11th house, not the 5th (which is speculation).
Investments of 5–10 years or more
Any investment requiring long-term holding—whether stocks, mutual funds, land, or retirement capital—is always judged from:
-
The 11th house
-
Its lord
-
Planets placed in the 11th house
These factors decide the final success or failure of long-term financial strategies.
Summary
-
11th house = long-term markets, profits, and sustained gains
-
Governed naturally by Saturn
-
Promoted by Jupiter
-
Impulsive planets like Venus, Mercury, Rahu, Moon can weaken patience
-
Sun and Mars usually give good gains
-
Overall investment success depends on the strength of the 11th lord and planets occupying this house
