Pull three cards for me: what do I need

I'll draw three cards for you.

Three cards — next seven days

The week is not random drift; it's a decision being made under partial information.

• Past — The Fool, reversed. Something you started, or were about to start, was left half-prepared. Not a failure — a launch that didn't get its groundwork. Reversed Fool is usually reluctance dressed as practicality.
• Present — Seven of Swords, upright. The middle of the week is about what's *not said*. Someone holds a piece of the picture and hasn't handed it over — a message half-read, a version of events that's nearly true, a plan whose real shape you can see the edges of but not the center. Swords means this travels in words and documents, not feelings.
• Future — The Chariot, upright. If you handle the present honestly rather than around it, the back half of the week moves with real traction: you pick a direction and it holds. That's a tendency under that condition, not a promise.

Two of three are Major Arcana, so this sits at the level of direction and identity, not schedule friction. Air runs through the spread (Swords, plus the Fool's open road) — the friction is in thinking and talking.

If the piece that's missing turns out to be something you can get in plain words, then the Chariot's momentum is yours this week. If it turns out to be genuinely withheld and you have to work around it, then the Chariot still arrives, but as a choice you make deliberately rather than one that slides you along.

Your one move: pick the one person who has the part you weren't told, and ask them for it in writing — a single specific question, not "anyway, how are things." Written, because Seven of Swords lives in speech; on paper, answers get narrower. Do that before the middle of the week, while the Chariot is still ahead of you.
