Weekly Tarot Spreads to Try
Weekly tarot spreads are spreads that you can do each week in order to create a better understanding of your week as a whole. Some weekly spreads can help you to prepare and reflect on your life and can be there for whatever questions you have.
Using Weekly Tarot Spreads
Even beginners can do weekly spreads because they are straightforward and easy. You can set up your reading like you would with any other spread and ask each of your questions in order.
Some spreads suggest doing them on a certain day, but you really can decide if you want to do your spread starting on Monday or starting on another day. This can be your own schedule, and any schedule is fine.
If you start working on a different day than Monday, you might want to start your motivational spreads on the first day of the week that you work. This can help to satisfy your needs and the questions that you want to answer. The tarot readings that you do can be customized and built by you so that they are specific to your life and situation.
