Tarot cards are a great way to learn about the past, present, and future of a querent. There are a huge number of layouts that help you find answers to all your questions.

The most common of them, of course, relate to the future of the questioner. Different layout techniques are responsible for different periods of time. The alignment can be done for the day, for the week, for the month, for the next year. The choice depends only on the desire of the querent. In Tarot cards, the weekly spread is one of the most popular techniques.

Methods of divination

Depending on the situation, it is recommended to practice various divination techniques. In addition to the fact that the period is taken into account, the sphere of human life about which questions are asked to Tarot cards is also important. The layout for the week can be short or complete. For a quick answer, you can use a shorter fortune-telling of 3-4 cards; for a detailed one, you should choose a detailed layout. Below are three of the most popular techniques that help you know the near future for the week.

Celtic Cross (4 cards)

It is necessary to decompose the four Major Arcana in the form of a cross. Left and right will be positions 1 and 2, andtop and bottom positions 3 and 4, respectively. The first card tells about the problem itself, sometimes these are obvious things, but most often it reveals the whole ins and outs of the problem. The second and third cards describe the situation and tell how it will develop within 7 days. It is very important to study the meaning of the Arcana well, not only individually, but also in combination with neighboring cards. For clarification, you can use the Minor Arcana.

In Tarot cards, the weekly spread usually describes events in the near future (2nd and 3rd positions). Card 4 in this scenario tells what the result will be.

The Arcana Cross can be interpreted by the days of the week: the first card is Monday and Tuesday, the second is Wednesday and Thursday, the third is Friday and Saturday, the fourth is Sunday.

"Celtic Cross" (full spread)

This technique uses 10 cards. In addition to the fact that the layout clearly outlines the problem, development prospects and outcome, the first 4 cards tell about the personality of the querent. An important nuance in Tarot cards: the alignment for the week can show not only future events, but also what preceded them, that is, the past. In fortune-telling "Celtic Cross" the first card describes the consciousness of a person, the second - the soul, the third - contradictions in the soul, the fourth - the subconscious. These are important cards located in the center. Next, cards with positions 5 and 6 are laid out. They describe events in the past and future. These 6 cards form a cross. Further on the right are 7, 8, 9 and 10 cards. They refer to oneself, to others,hopes and fears, as well as prospects and results. Accordingly, it is the 10th position that will complete the alignment and indicate the result. We should not forget that it is the cards with the central positions that are important! The Tarot layout for the week is shown below.

Seven days layout

The layout is very different from the previous two. If the fortune-telling "Celtic Cross" considers a certain problem and its development throughout the week, then the "7 days" layout simply describes the events for the next week.

This is the simplest divination. We do the Tarot layout for the week as follows: the querent draws 7 cards from the deck. Arcana are laid out in a horizontal line. It is very important what day of the week you are guessing, because. the first card will represent the next day of the week. So, if you are doing a layout on Saturday, then the first card in the row will mean the events of Sunday, the next - Monday, and so on until Saturday of the next week.

It is very important to say the day of the week out loud when drawing each subsequent card. If the meaning of one of the cards is too general, and it is difficult to determine what will happen on that day, it is allowed to draw one or two additional cards.
