Incorporating a routine into your Tarot practice is helpful for both beginners and skilled readers. By doing a Tarot reading for yourself every week, you can practice the craft and get guidance for the week ahead. Using Tarot regularly allows you to get more and more out of the cards, becoming connected with them and the universe.

So, I wanted to create this week ahead Tarot spread guide. I will go through a few different spreads so you have a range of choices for your week ahead Tarot spread. I would advise you to do these spreads every Sunday evening, making it a bit of a tradition! This allows you to wind down, reflect, and draw a line between the week previous and the upcoming week.

Of course, you can also do these spreads on other people! In this article, I will be using the Modern Witch Tarot deck. This is my go-to Tarot deck when doing readings, as it is a stunning modern twist on the traditional Rider-Waite deck.

Week Ahead Tarot Spread Up Front

My favorite week ahead Tarot spread is the three-card spread that shows us what to expect for love, career, and family in the following week. It is a really simple spread, so easy to incorporate into your weekly routine! I like to do this spread every Sunday evening. I have also included two more week-ahead Tarot spreads that dive deeper into the upcoming week.

Three-card Week Ahead Tarot Spread

I am going, to begin with, a three-card spread that, when learning Tarot, I used to do every Sunday evening for the week ahead. It is a simple spread covering three different aspects of your life, giving you advice and guidance. I would always write it down in my Tarot journal and then reflect upon it at the end of the week. If you are learning Tarot, I strongly recommend starting a Tarot journal! They are a place where you can write down your spreads, meditations on cards, and general card meanings.

So, the three cards pulled in this spread refer to:

• Card one: Your love life for the week ahead
• Card two: Career and money for the week ahead
• Card three: Your home and family life for the week ahead

I like the simplicity of this three-card spread, and it is a good choice for a weekly reading if you don’t have time to do a bigger spread.

It is Saturday for me right now, but I think I can still do a weekly spread for the week coming up! Let’s pick three cards and go through them, so I can walk you through how you will do this spread.

For my love life for the week ahead, I received the Six of Pentacles. So, we have the suit of Pentacles, which is all about material goods, work, and resources. The Six of Pentacles represents generosity, support, and giving and receiving. When we consider it my love life for the week ahead, we can understand it to be representing a healthy, supportive relationship. I like that because I do think I am in one of these relationships right now! However, we can also see the Six of Pentacles as a reminder when it comes to love: make sure the relationship is balanced!

For the second card, which represents my work life, I received the Star. It must be noted that this is the only Major Arcana in the spread. Major Arcana cards generally represent more significant changes and events in your life, whilst Major Arcana refers to day-to-day things. So, we can see my love and family life won’t be too dramatic this week, with the Tarot wanting me to pay attention to my career!

The Star is a wonderful card representing inspiration and hope. It also has elements of creativity, which I think is relevant to me as my work is pretty creative! So, what am I learning for the week ahead from this card? It is asking me to keep up my positivity and hope when it comes to work and embrace my creative side. I have a personal creative writing project I have been working on recently, and I believe it means that next week, I have to focus on this a bit more!

For my home life, I have received the Two of Pentacles. Another card from the Suit of Pentacles! When reading, it is essential to consider what suits are cropping up a lot. I have two Suits of Pentacles in this reading, so I know that resources and material goods are prominent for the week ahead. It is time to focus on what is in front of me right now. The Two of Pentacles is all about balance. So, am I balancing my family and home life with other aspects of my life? I have been super busy recently and haven’t invited my mum around for dinner for a while… BRB texting my mum, ‘the Tarot cards are telling me we need to hang out.
