Take one.
The reading.
The week ahead: seven cards, one for each day, starting today.
Laid in a row from today to this day next week. It is the card of the day, seven times, before the days have happened. Draw it on a Sunday night or a Monday morning and come back to it as the week goes.

How to read it
- Seven cards, one a day
- Each card is the weather of its day, not an event in it. Read the row first as a line, left to right, and only then the days: a week that starts hard and ends quiet is a different week from the reverse, even with the same seven cards.
- Today
- The first card is read against tonight's sky, like the card of the day, because the sky is the one part of today that is not a guess.
- The last day
- Where the week is tending. A strong final card is not a promise about next Wednesday; it is the direction the six before it are leaning.
Already laid this one on your own table? Read the cards you pulled, in these positions, with the same engine.
The cards are Pamela Colman Smith's, drawn in 1909. The draw is sealed before you touch the deck, so it can be recomputed by anyone, and nobody including the engine sees a card before you do. Readings here never give dates except the sky's, and never give medical, legal or financial specifics.
