Okay, so yesterday, I tried out this 11-card tarot spread thing. I’ve been seeing all this stuff about the 11:11 portal and how it’s supposed to be some big deal for manifesting, so I figured, why not give it a shot? I mean, who couldn’t use a little extra help in the manifesting department, right?
First, I grabbed my tarot deck and gave it a good shuffle. I don’t know about you, but I like to spend a few minutes just holding the cards, kind of connecting with their energy, you know? Then I laid out the cards in the 11-card spread pattern. It’s a pretty straightforward layout, nothing too complicated.

- Card 1: What you’re manifesting
- Card 2: Where to focus your energy
- Card 3: What may be hindering you
- Card 4: How to overcome obstacles
- Card 5: Unexpected help
- Card 6: What needs to change
- Card 7: What needs to stay the same
- Card 8: Where to seek guidance
- Card 9: Long-term potential
- Card 10: Short-term potential
- Card 11: Message from the universe
I took my time looking at each card, jotting down my initial thoughts in my journal. I tried not to overthink it, just going with my gut feeling on what each card meant in relation to the position in the spread. The first card was about what I’m manifesting, and honestly, it was spot on. The second card, which was about where to focus my energy, also resonated. It made a lot of sense, especially considering what I pulled for the first card.
As I worked my way through the spread, I started to see a clearer picture of what I need to do. There were some tough pills to swallow, especially when I got to the card about what might be hindering me. But hey, growth isn’t always easy, right? The card about overcoming obstacles gave me some practical steps to take, which was helpful. Sometimes you just need someone, or something, to spell it out for you.
One of the coolest parts was the card about unexpected help. It was something I hadn’t even considered, but once I saw it, it made total sense. The spread also covered what needs to change and what needs to stay the same, which was a nice balance. It’s not always about throwing everything out and starting from scratch. Sometimes, you just need to tweak a few things.
The last two cards were about the long-term and short-term potential, and let me tell you, they were encouraging. It’s always nice to see that your efforts might actually pay off, you know? And the final card, the message from the universe, well, that was just the cherry on top. It was a message I needed to hear, and it left me feeling pretty darn good about the whole thing.
After I finished going through all the cards, I sat there for a while, just reflecting on everything. I felt like I had a better understanding of what I’m working towards and how to get there. I’m not saying this one tarot reading changed my life, but it definitely gave me some clarity and direction. So, yeah, that’s how my 11-card tarot spread experiment went. If you’re into this kind of thing, I’d say give it a try. You might be surprised at what you discover.
