The Week Ahead - Tarot Forecast


Kate at Daily Tarot Girl offers a reading at the beginning of each week, presenting a forecast for the week ahead. Today, we are going to steal this idea, and see what the cards tell us about the week ahead.

As a whole, we all work off the same energy source, yet our own energies mesh with the supply, giving each of us a unique life experience.

I’ve noticed many times when reading others’ blogs which present readings that I can connect with the given reading, while other times it seems to have nothing to do with me at all. You may also find such experiences when a reading is not directed toward you.

In my opinion, this is where daily horoscopes go wrong. There is too much energy moving around to give a good forecast to a number of people at one time.

With that said, take the weekly forecast for what it is, a personal forecast, which may or may not show energies you are also working with.

I decided to go with a 7-card, Rider-Waite (Crystal Visions Tarot) and Lenormand (Titania’s Fortune Cards) combo spread. 

Weekly Forecast for April 8 – April 14



Card 1 and 4 – Monday and Tuesday – 7 of Wands/Garden – The 7 of Wands suggests conflict coming to a head, holding firm and not backing down. The Garden represents a positive social setting – the Fish gives the card a job-related significance.

The week begins with a conflict at work.

Card 2 and 5 – Wednesday and Thursday – 13 Death/Fish – The Death card represents a major transformation, a significant life event, the end of something. The Fish shows fortune and money – the Garden gives the card a work-related significance, work should blossom and pay well.

The middle of the week continues in a work-related theme, showing transformation and growth.

Card 3 and 6 – Friday, Saturday, and Sunday – 12 The Hanged Man/Scythe – The Hanged Man card signifies a major transformation and being caught between the old and new. A new perspective is gained through re-evaluation and perhaps self-sacrifice. The Scythe indicates cutting free of something or someone, a sharp break. – The supporting cards, Garden and Fish, suggest this is also work-related.

The weekend brings with it a sharp break from something work-related, a re-evaluation, and a new perspective.

Card 7 - Advice – 9 of Cups – This is the wish card. Whatever you desire can be seen within this image. I hear a gentle caution message every time I see this card – Be careful what you wish for. As the energies coordinate to your wishes, one should be sure of what they desire and what they really want.

Week Overview – There will be a conflict at work, but backing down is not an option. Stick to your guns on the issue at hand. By mid-week, you will find yourself in a major transformation – possibly a new source of income. Over the weekend, you’ll find yourself re-evaluating your direction and cutting off from the people, obligations, or ideas which do not serve in the new direction you choose. What you wish will come true this week, but be sure it is what you want.

Note: The advice card coordinates with Kate’s Mid-week card - (Wish upon a Star – make a wish and expect the very best.)

Does anything in the reading correspond with your own energies? Do you see something within the cards I may have missed? Feel free to share your thoughts below in the comments, or contact me.

Tarot SWOT Analysis

Christy of Tarot Girl Next Door offers a wonderful spread for planning with the tarot in the form of the 'SWOT Analysis System'. Below is an image of the SWOT diagram and a sample reading.

SWOT Analysis

My objective of the reading is to view my options and opportunities in my writing world and tarot world. First, I have to say WOW! 4 Major Arcana cards in sequence 8, 9, 10, and 11.

Crystal Visions Tarot

Strengths - energies working in my favor - 10 Wheel of Fortune (reversed)
Weaknesses - energies working against me - 8 Strength (reversed)
Opportunities - external energies working in my favor - 9 The Hermit
Threats - external energies working against me - 11 Justice

Wheel of Fortune reversed represents the feeling of no forward movement, a stalled position. My strength is my determination to succeed. No matter how much it feels like I'm walking through quicksand, I'll continue to push forward. The Hermit reveals the need to search within, a time for soul searching. As I look upon the card, I think of 'searching the horizon'. The opportunity for success is there, but the first steps are to decide upon the direction best for me.

Strength reversed signifies the lack of self-confidence, doubt and fear.  My weakness is my lack of confidence in my ability to succeed, a fear of the power found in the upright position of the Strength card.  Justice represents a need for balance, time needed to make the best decision. The threat is of not taking the time to balance the factors and making hasty decisions. 

The figure in The Hermit looks directly at the figure in Justice, but she is turned away, eyes closed. The Hermit waits for the decision to be decided upon. The figure in Strength looks upon the wheel, as if waiting for movement.

Overall - By overcoming my weakness (doubts and fear in my own abilities), I can put my strength (my determination to succeed) into forward motion. By taking the time to reflect internally, the threat of hasty decisions resolves into no threat at all.

Affirmation: I believe in my abilities to move forward and succeed. I will take the time to be patient and search my soul for direction.

Four of Pentacles - Reflections


The Four of Pentacles is the financially secure card.

As I look upon the four of pentacles, from the Crystal Visions Tarot deck, I have a passing thought of Scrooge. The woman holds tightly to the pentacles, determined to not let go.

What she doesn't notice is the wealth of fruit on the apple tree, the beautiful crystals and stones, and the golden stack of coins below her. She has no reason at all to hold on so tightly, her wealth is abundant. She can relax.

This card suggests you adjust your focus. Spending too much time worrying about what could be lost may keep one from gaining.

You can almost see 'The Fool' approaching this young lady and giving her a lesson in taking the giant leap of faith. She should allow herself to leave her possessions, if only to gain more possessions, but also to gain knowledge, love, and to live life.

Queen of Swords - Reflections


Deck used Crystal Visions Tarot

The Queen of Swords rules with her head, not her heart. She is independent and ambitious.

As I look upon the cards image, the light reflecting off the sword draws my attention. Is this the light of hope, of expectations? The Queen holds power in one hand and creativity in the other. She looks out, as if to say, "Are you ready?"

I see the butterflies as a representation of creativity - words if you will. They flutter around the woman waiting to be used in her next project. The clouds part and send rays of joy and warmth to help the woman flourish in her goals.

The card lures me forward and it whispers, "The words are here - gather them, arrange them, create."
