function scopeUpcoming($query)
{
	$date = Carbon::now()->addDays(7);
	return $query->where('start_date', '>', $date);
}

That is a possibility but that would do from whatever the day is, so a week would go from mon to mon, tues to tues, wed to wed, etc..

I think i've nailed it:

This sunday: 2015-02-22

This monday: 2015-02-23

Next sunday: 2015-03-01

Next monday: 2015-03-02

This sunday: {{ Carbon::parse('this sunday')->toDateString() }}

This monday: {{ Carbon::parse('this monday')->toDateString() }}

Next sunday: {{ Carbon::parse('next sunday')->addDays(7)->toDateString() }}

Next monday: {{ Carbon::parse('next week')->addDays(7)->toDateString() }}
