Week Ahead Tarot Spread

The first week ahead tarot spread we have for you will allow you to look at the week ahead as a whole, rather than a day-by-day basis. This specific spread will provide you with guidance and understanding on the obstacles and positives that the week ahead will have in store for you.

The Week As A Whole

The first card that you will draw will represent the week ahead as a whole. This will give you the first indication whether the immediate future has positive or negative events waiting for you. This card may have career, life, relationship or friendship connotations, and will relate to where you will spend most of your time.

Unexpected Event During The Week Ahead

Perhaps relating to the first card you draw, the second will reveal an unexpected event that will occur during your week ahead. This might not have a negative undertone, just because it is unexpected does not mean it is a critical life event. Perhaps something good is coming your way.

Staying Balanced In The Week Ahead

No matter whether you are going to experience a positive or a negative surprise life event, you will need to know what is going to keep you grounded during the week ahead. This need for balance is where the third card you draw comes in, as it will provide you with advice and knowledge on how you can stay grounded throughout the following week. Perhaps you will balance yourself, or you may need to rely on an external influence to do it for you.

How You Will Feel In The Week Ahead

Another important card, that many will be eager to receive concerning the week ahead, is the fifth card you draw. This will inform you of the primary emotion you will feel throughout the whole of the following week. Perhaps this card will inform you of incoming negative emotions such as sadness or anxiety, or positive emotions like joy and happiness. Either way, you will be prepared for the week ahead.

Inspiration During The Week Ahead

The seventh card you will draw relates to the inspiration you will feel throughout the following week. This could show that you will feel more socially inspired and spend more time with your loved ones, or perhaps it will be an inspiration that will be linked with your work and career life.

Advice From Your Spirit Guide

The penultimate card you will draw will be advice from your spirit guide. Where advice from external factors in your life can be distrustful or self-serving, advice from your Spirit Guide should never be ignored, as they are always 100% there for you. This advice will be specialized for you, and its potential topic could be wide ranging.

Supporting Yourself In The Week Ahead

The last card you will draw will relate to all the previous cards that have come before, as this will represent how you should support yourself during the week. Whether the cards have revealed that you will have a positive or negative week ahead, you will need to know how best to support yourself so you remain balanced throughout the week. This card may also inform you that you need to seek external support during this time period.

7 Day Outline — Week Ahead Tarot Spread

Perhaps you are looking for guidance on a day-by-day basis rather than looking at the week ahead as a whole. If this is the case, then this tarot spread which gives you a card for each day of the week as well as further guidance will provide you with the answers that you seek.

Cards 1–7

The first seven cards that you select will represent the seven days of the week, and each card is specific for that given day. Using your tarot spread in this way, instead of like the tarot spread above, will allow you to have a specific focus for each day of the week. If you have a special event coming up, perhaps a job interview or life event, this tarot spread will provide you with guidance on how that day might unfold.

What You Should Focus On This Week

After you have understood what to expect during each day of the week, the eighth card you draw will provide you with insight into the week as a whole. This card can be rather vague in nature, it may simply say that you are in for a happy and enjoyable week, or perhaps you will encounter more social endeavors than usual, but it will not be overly specific.

Advice For The Week Ahead

The last card you will draw for this tarot spread will symbolize general advice the cards have for you, that you should consider for the following week. This may represent specific actions or attitudes that you should act on, whether that is to be more social, or take some much needed me time.
