Eleven in divination systems

Today is 11/11 which makes it a special day. I had been thinking about 11 and thought it a worthwhile exercise to relate to the 11 from my own perspective rather than from an numerical perspective alone.
Numerically the number 11 is a prime number which does not make it a very usable number, yet a very unique number. Nothing else can divide into 11. 11 is moving beyond wholeness which is denoted by the number 10.
What do I know about the number 11. In the Tarot the Major Arcana 11 is traditionally Justice, the lady with the scale and a card I have a deep affinity for as a Libra.  Discounting the Fool as card zero judgement is in the middle of the Major Arcana with 10 cards preceding it and 10 cards succeeding it. It depicts 11 as a number of balance which is appropriate for the two one’s making up the 11.  In this analysis the Major Arcana with its 21 cards (discounting the fool) places 11 as an important car for balance. It is also a point of balance between an external and an internal view in the Tarot. The first ten cards are existential and material in nature while the latter ten cards are more essential and cosmological in nature. Thus the number 11 in the tarot represents the touch point of balance in the maxim “As above so below, as below so above.” This is a crucial point of understanding within the Tarot. The number 11 counts to two as one plus one which shows an affinity between the High priestess as Major Arcana II and the Major Arcana XI.  While the High priestess is an initiation into the exoteric Tarot the Justice card associated with Ma’at in the Egyptian pantheon is associated with initiation into the esoteric aspects of the Tarot.
When we turn out gaze to the Elder futhark the eleventh rune is Isa or the point of contraction or stillness. Although this is not the midpoint in the same sense as the Tarot it is a point of stillness like the center point of a wheel turning that is still. This gives to the number 11 a very solid base of stand still which correspond well with the central pillar of a set of scales. The number 11 in this sense calls for a moment of inaction combined with an awareness of the moment. It is not a point for action or progress but rather a turning point moving into a new dimension.
The I-Ching designate the hexagram Tai and relates to harmony or peace. The hexagram itself consist of three unbroken lines at the bottom of the hexagram and three unbroken lines on top of the hexagram. In other words it is the trigram Earth upon the trigram Heavan. Here we see again the idea of balance associated with the number 11 since their is an idea of yielding balancing the firm. It is noteworthy to see that the hexagram is not heaven over earth as what we are used to in our normal experience but it is rather heaven supporting earth.  This is indicative of a turning point, at the 11 th hexagram. It contains an idealistic mystical  perspective where heaven or the ideal becomes the foundation for the earth or the real. That is how harmony or peace is being created. Peace relates here to a similar concept we see in Isa of the Runes and Harmony relates to a similar concept discussed in Justice, major arcana IX, of the Tarot.
Given this short analysis of the role of number 11 in three of the major divination systems it is worth while to say and observe that 11 is a point of stillness calling on a higher awareness, a tipping point that bequest from us to look at life in a new way … that is from an inner perspective of actuality rather than reality. We should find peace, harmony and balance in the number 11 without any effort of making anything happen or desiring anything to happen. It is moment for us to be just fully present and content that life is as it should be in that moment, irrespective of whether it is good or bad times. We also should remember that there is a karmic balance in that good times will not always be good and bad times will not always be bad. Life is a cycle and our peace and harmony we find within. The number 11 reminds us that as above so below the one is reflected in the other.
