A few years ago, I created a simple month ahead Tarot spread. However, with everything going on in the world today (2024) and with August just around the corner, I feel the time has come to expand on this with a more in-depth month ahead positivity tarot spread.
Jump to the ‘Month Ahead Positivity Tarot Spread’
A month is a decent-sized chunk of time to work with when it comes to the Tarot. Anything outside 6-8 weeks becomes increasingly difficult to frame and forecast but a month is doable. (Incidentally, this is why I recommend sticking to max 6-8 weeks for general spreads such as the Celtic Cross.)
A month is also a great period of time to set realistic intentions and achievable goals for. You can do almost anything for a month, right? So what do you want to try next for a month?
A Focus on Positivity
For the month-ahead tarot spread below, we have a focus on generating more positivity (in addition to whatever else you wish to try). If you use a general spread, it can show you what to expect. A more specific spread, on the other hand, comes with intentions that can provide a positive focus and incentive for personal growth. Intention is everything if we wish to get unstuck rather than have the cards tell us what will happen if we stay on the track we’re already on.
I don’t know about you, but I feel I could do with a bit more hope, positivity and optimism right now. So, if you’re ready to get that positive mojo going, let’s dive into the spread below!
