How to Use Tarot For Your Weekly Forecast

Not only is Tarot a great tool for guidance and insight, it’s useful to consult for forecasts, planning, or reflection. Tarot can be used to plan out your day, week, or month. The cards you pull during these readings will provide helping guidance on how to live your life. Remember, that this is just a suggestion and by no means should you allow Tarot to dictate everything you do. This type of weekly reading is not only great for planning ahead, but also reflecting back on what has transpired in the past week.

Useful Tarot Spreads for Weekly Planning

Like most queries in Tarot, there are a number of different ways to approach the situation. There are a number of layouts that are useful for planning your week. Here are a couple of different Tarot spreads to use when you need some weekly guidance.

The Week

This is the most straightforward version of the weekly spread. A variation on this is to just lay the cards out in a horizontal line.

Card 1: This card will represent the essence of your Monday.
Card 2: This card will represent the essence of your Tuesday.
Card 3: This card will represent the essence of your Wednesday.
Card 4: This card will represent the essence of your Thursday.
Card 5: This card will represent the essence of your Friday.
Card 6: This card will represent the essence of your Saturday.
Card 7: This card will represent the essence of your Sunday.

It’s a good idea to cast this reading on either a Sunday or Monday, whichever you feel is the start of your week.

The Weekly Goal Setting Spread

This is an eight-card spread where a daily and weekly themes and goals will be revealed.

Card 4: This card will set the focus for your Wednesday.
Card 5: This card will set the focus for your Thursday.

Card 7: This card will set the focus for your Saturday.
Card 8: This card will reveal the theme for your week as a whole.

The Nine-Card Spread

This spread is similar to the weekly goals spread but provides insight into not only what you should strive for during the week, but the things you should avoid.

Card 1: This card will reveal the essence and focus for your Monday.
Card 2: This card will reveal the essence and focus for your Tuesday.
Card 3: This card will reveal the essence and focus for your Wednesday.

Daily Tarot Spread

This six-card spread is useful for daily readings, but can be easily modified to use for a weekly forecast instead. This spread provides both a quick outlook on the week and a little deeper insight into your near future. It is a linear horizontal spread, so you’ll want to read the cards sequentially.

Card 1: This card focuses on your feelings for the day (week). It will reveal your mindset, energy or lack thereof, or any feelings for the day (week).
Card 2: This card reveals the theme for your day (week). This may be good or bad.
Card 3: This card reveals any challenges you might face. This can be people, people, situations, or events. No matter what is revealed here, it is a warning for your day (week).
Card 4: This card reveals your likely response to the challenges presented in card 3.
Card 5: This card reveals any advice the Universe may be trying to send you regarding your day (week).
Card 6: This will reveal your final thought for the day (week). It will either confirm your reading or ask you to expand your thinking.

Planning out your week is a great way to maintain a handle on your life. Although spontaneity may be nice every once in a while, having a plan to fall back on can help put you at ease. Casting a weekly forecast with Tarot is a nice way to plan ahead. It’s also useful for reflecting back on your week and seeing if the cards align with what transpired.
