Instead of doing daily three-card readings, I have decided to do a week-ahead reading, as I got this seven-card spread by Emerald Lotus, and I will instead do a one-card pull each day in notes to give you some daily inspiration and to know what energies you are facing for the day.

How does that sound? So, let's look and see what to expect for the week ahead!

1. Card One: Your Week as a Whole - Nine of Wands

2. Card Two: Something Unexpected That Will Arise - The Magician

3. Card Three: How to Stay Grounded and Balanced - The Devil

4. Card Four: Important Emotion That You Will Feel This Week - Six of Pentacles

5. Card Five: Something That Will Inspire You - The Moon

6. Card Six: How Your Spirit Guides Speak to You This Week - The Hanged Man

7. Card Seven: How to Best Support Yourself This Week - The Lovers

1. Your Week as a Whole - Nine of Wands

The Nine of Wands is about strength and perseverance, meaning you may encounter some challenges or obstacles this week.

However, this card encourages you to stay determined and not give up no matter how tempted you are to throw in the towel, and this is how I have been feeling lately.

But you can tap into the resources you have or have access to so you can deal with what problems may come your way.

And if you have been struggling with that, unfortunately, this is another week that you will need to do. Yuck!

2. Something Unexpected That Will Arise - The Magician

The Magician is a card of manifestation, creativity, and taking action. This makes me think that something unexpected may arise this week that requires you to tap into your inner power and use your skills and resources to navigate the situation.

It reminds you that you can make things happen and manifest your desires. That is interesting because I have something that suddenly came to my mind that I may want to test the waters with, and it also happened during the New Moon.

This makes me think that an unexpected event may present an opportunity for you to showcase your talents and take charge of the situation.

3. How to Stay Grounded and Balanced - The Devil

The Devil card represents the importance of staying grounded and balanced amidst temptations or negative influences.

Yikes, it reminds you to be aware of unhealthy attachments or behaviors hindering your progress because something may cause you to go there, so it is best to stay prepared.

To stay grounded and balanced, it is crucial to recognize and release any limiting beliefs or patterns that may hold you back.

You gotta make conscious choices and prioritize your well-being, so for example, if you have a craving for a bag of chips, be sure you don't have it in your home in the first place, and then you will be fine.

4. Important Emotion That You Will Feel This Week - Six of Pentacles

The Six of Pentacles symbolizes generosity, gratitude, and reciprocity. It suggests that an important emotion you may experience this week is a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction through giving and receiving.

This card encourages you to be open-hearted and willing to share your resources, time, or expertise with others.

By embracing a spirit of abundance and gratitude, you can create positive connections and experiences.

Therefore, don't be a Scrooge when it comes to anyone who may need some help with something that you have that could benefit them.

Chances are they will pay you back when the time is right for them, but at the same time, don't expect it, and don't give away anything that could trigger feelings of resentment later. Give it to them because you WANT to give.

5. Something That Will Inspire You - The Moon

This card has a bad rap, but the Moon is a card of intuition, dreams, and hidden emotions. Something will inspire you this week by tapping into your subconscious mind and inner wisdom.

You will want to trust your intuition and pay attention to the subtle messages and signs from the universe.

It encourages you to explore your dreams, emotions, and spiritual insights, as they can provide valuable guidance and inspiration.

If you don't have a dream journal, you will want to get one and keep it by your bed because there is a good chance you will end up with plenty of messages in your dreams.

You will want to jot them down right after waking up because you will forget them as the day progresses.

6. How Your Spirit Guides Speak to You This Week - The Hanged Man

It is so easy to have this card since the Hanged Man represents surrender, letting go, and gaining a new perspective.

When I pull the Hanged Man for a client who wants a reading, they feel dread, and I immediately get that knee-jerk reaction when I see it, but it really suggests that your spirit guides may speak to you this week through moments of pause and reflection.

It is a reminder not to get attached to anything, anyone, or any outcome because expectations cause suffering.

I have learned the hard way many times, and my attitude now is I would rather be pleasantly surprised than devastated by something that did not pan out as I had expected.

By shifting your perspective and allowing yourself to see things from a different angle, you can receive profound insights and guidance from your spirit guides.

7. How to Best Support Yourself This Week - The Lovers

The Lovers card symbolizes love, harmony, and unity. It suggests that the best way to support yourself this week is by cultivating self-love and making choices that align with your values and desires.

You will want to connect with your heart's desires and follow your passions.

By nurturing your relationships with yourself and others, you can create a supportive and loving environment that empowers you to thrive, and this is the best reminder to anyone.

Therefore, expect some trying moments, but you have the resources and creativity to find a way to get through them.

Don't get attached to any outcome, and go with the flow. Tap into your intuition to find out how you can handle situations thrown at you, and pay attention to the messages you get from your dreams.
