This eleven-rune layout is based on the four quarters of the year. It is ideal when you need a precise answer to a complex question as well as an overall view of your life for the past six months and the next six months. Decide on a question about something that has been affecting you for about six months. Begin by mixing your runes and select the first eleven that come to you, placing them facedown in a horizontal row in front of you. Then turn over each rune, one at a time, and place it in its correct position according to the layout above, beginning with Rune #1 and moving in a sunwise (clockwise) pattern, ending with Rune #11 in the center. In this layout, each row is divided into quarters and read accordingly. Rune #1, #2, and #10: These three runes, to the left, represent the First Quarter, and indicate your present state of mind. Rune #5, #6, and #7: These three runes, to the right, signify the Second Quarter, and show possible helpful or opposing influences in regard to the question. Rune #3 and #4: These two middle runes at the top symbolize the Third Quarter, and reveal what will happen if things continue in their current direction. Rune #8 and #9: These two middle runes in the bottom row denote the possible outcome of the question six months from now. Rune #11: The eleventh and final rune, in the center, represents the overall tone of the rune spread.
