Weekly review spread

Positions

1. What happened

Which event, pattern, or unfinished thread deserves an accurate record?

2. Energy

Where did attention or capacity increase, settle, or drain?

3. Friction

What repeatedly made the week harder or more complicated?

4. Support

What person, practice, resource, or boundary helped?

5. Adjustment

What modest change can you test in the coming week?

Read each position as a question or viewing angle. A card does not erase the position, and the position does not reduce the card to one keyword. Write the link between them in a complete sentence.

When to use it

Use this spread at a consistent weekly boundary when you have enough records to compare impression with events. It can connect a tarot journal to an ordinary calendar or task review without pretending the cards forecast the next seven days.

Before shuffling, name who the question is about, what evidence you already have, and when you will revisit the note. That frame gives the spread a boundary and makes later reflection more honest.

When not to use it

Do not use the final position as a prediction, productivity score, or demand to improve every week. Skip the spread when review would become rumination; a short factual note or rest may be the more useful practice.

Use it with a physical deck

1. Review your calendar or notes first and write three facts about the week.
2. Lay five cards from left to right, with the adjustment card slightly below the row.
3. Connect each interpretation to at least one remembered event, sensation, or choice.
4. Name the support you want to continue before focusing on friction.
5. Write one adjustment with a date to revisit it; leave the result open.

Use it with Tarot Sidequest

The runtime catalogue currently contains the “weekly-review” spread descriptor at version 1.0.0, with 5 stable positions. You can use the browser app for this shape and keep the interpretation private in its local journal.

Open the private reading app when you want its current card chooser and browser-local journal. The app does not send your question or reflection to a remote interpretation service.

Close and revisit

End with one sentence that begins “I can test this by …” or “I want to notice …” Avoid converting ambiguity into certainty. On the revisit date, compare the note with what happened and add a follow-up instead of rewriting the original response.
