7-card spread

Week ahead

Seven cards in a row, one for each day. Lay it on a Sunday night or a Monday morning: each card is the mood of its day, and read together they show the shape of the week, where the weight sits and where the air is.

Reading it well

Start on your own Monday

The labels are only a convention. If your week begins on Sunday, or today, start the row there and walk forward.

Read the run

Three Swords in a row are a stretch to brace for; a Major mid-week is the day that matters. Notice the shape before the detail.

An example reading

“What does this week hold?”

  1. 1 · MonKnight of Pentacles
  2. 2 · TueEight of Wands
  3. 3 · WedFive of Wands
  4. 4 · ThuAce of Swords
  5. 5 · FriThree of Cups
  6. 6 · SatNine of Pentacles
  7. 7 · SunFour of Swords

A slow, steady Monday, then the Eight of Wands brings a rush of news on Tuesday and a scuffle of competing demands on Wednesday. Thursday's Ace of Swords cuts through it with a clear decision. Friday is for friends, Saturday for your own comfort, and Sunday's Four of Swords says rest properly before the next week starts.
