Before the medieval catalogue gave each house a list of subjects, the Hellenistic tradition gave the twelve places names, and all four of the succedent places carry one.
The fifth is Agathe Tyche, Good Fortune. The eleventh is Agathos Daimon, the Good Spirit, and it is the place of Jupiter's joy. The eighth is the Idle Place, which is a name of a different kind, and the second is the Gate of Hades.
Those names do not line up neatly with the later subject lists, and the mismatch is informative. The older scheme sorts the places by their relation to the ascendant rather than by what happens in them. The fifth and the eleventh see the ascendant by trine and by sextile, the two aspects the tradition counts as friendly, and both get favourable names. The second and the eighth are among the four places that cannot see the ascendant by any classical aspect at all, and both get names of inactivity or of the underworld. The medieval catalogue sorts by subject instead. Each scheme is consistent inside itself and they answer different questions.
The revival of Hellenistic astrology since the 1990s has put the older layer back into working use, so a modern reader may meet the eleventh described as the house of friends, as the Good Spirit, or as both, and should know that the two descriptions come from different centuries and different logics rather than from a single tradition contradicting itself.
